hm bhp (Brake Horsepower or.. "base Horsepower") and whp (wheel Horsepower) are the same thing eh?
funny...http://www.allfastcars.com/mazda-rx8.shtml
you should tell this website they are wrong then..cuz our car doesnt come withe 238 Bhp or... Whp....
Or hell.. tell these guys they are wrong... http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/t110158.html
i wont touch anything more on it. but.. you should do the math first....but you have close to about 300 Bhp... to have 250-260 Whp...
still.... im still jelous of the power you make.. an 1/4 times ?? im assuming a 13.8-13.6 would be about right..?

Really bhp could mean either. The "brake" just refers to the dyno method of loading the engine. It is conventionally meant to represent flywheel hp though.

500 at the wheels is possible (engine work of course)
Follow the Mystery Custom Turbo thread...see if it happens (just fired it up so no engine mods yet...but once a rebuild occurs then it is on).

Hey Shawn81
I am in the process of getting the kit installed finally took a while to get all the parts. They say it should be ready by mid next week. I will let you know when I get it back. You can check out set up no problem. How long have you had your car turboed any problems with Emmissions? I am in the Owings Mills area guess that is the suburbs of Baltimore.
MadDog what kind of set up do you have on your RX8? Beating Cobras huh? How do you do against stock EVO's you are getting me excited can't wait to get back my RX

Check out my sig.
you can beat the following cars if they're stock: S/C cobras, '06 STi's, Stage 1 SRT4's, Evo's, Mustang GT's (<these are actually REALLY slow), and Z28's.
In addition to those I recently killed a 2006 BMW M6 from a roll. I think he was in the low-horsepower mode, which is still 400hp!

Anyone I have the Navigation system in my RX8 so no center consule for me anyone else find some where to put their gauge pods and gauges? And to answer Alexva8 I will post the name and address of the shop once to work is done and I am satisfied don't want to give them advertisement if I am not happy with the work. I should be getting the car back this week. I have my fingers and toes crossed that all goes well. I am very curious to see how this car performs with boost. I at one time I was tossing around the idea of buying an EVo but deciede to go with performance mods instead. I have to say no much can touch this car once it is lowered and the suspension in modified. all that is has been lacking is HP. Can't wait.
