Whats the Best HP gain
 
Here's the deal, I have a MAZDA RX8 GT, 4port Automatic with these mods

- Greddy SE Exhaust system
- Tein lowering Springs
- AEM Cold Air intake
- Unorthodox Racing Underdive pulley kit


- MazdaSpeed Rear strut bar
- Rear Seibon Carbon fiber trunk lid


What other preformace mods would give me the best HP gain...??

6 port M/T. ;)
midpipe and / or AccessPORT tuning are your best bets.
Nitrous works well
Other then that, FI is your only real option for major gains.

Whats FI, wheres the best place to get a midpipe??

StealthTL 04-03-2009 05:22 PM

I have headers, catless midpipe and catback, for maximum exhaust mods.

Then I put the stupid/cheapo/badly designed/critically flawed and inadequate Greddy turbo on.

Even before tuning, it blew away every other mod I've ever done, x 10.

There is no substitute for FI......

I talked to a guy about a midpipe on my greddy SE exhaust and he was like you dont need one..???

maxxdamigz 04-03-2009 05:31 PM

Do you really NEED anything? I could drive my beater every day, but I don't.

I suggest you spend about a hundred hours reading up on the car through FAQ/Massive information posts available on this forum. In the end, you will be more knowledgeable, save thousands of dollars, and wind up with a better running, more reliable, faster car than if you don't.

you do that man>...

FI = Forced Induction.
ie; Turbo or Supercharger

StealthTL 04-03-2009 06:08 PM

See you ask for suggestions about 'best HP gain' but you know nothing of FI....if I were you, I'd scurry off and find out all about this 'FI thing'......

Maxx's point is that if you don't read what we have already written, but ask the same questions again, you will be ridiculed.

Mercilessly.

michaeldero23 04-03-2009 06:08 PM

Yeah i was loking at a supercharger it was like 4500 bucks hella

StealthTL 04-03-2009 06:09 PM

Get the electric one (on Ebay) less drag on the motor.....

shazy 04-03-2009 06:20 PM

Dude I have that one, I can boost it over 100psi of electrical power! It gave me 750whp man, I could destroy all the mustangs and basically all the cars on the street! Fo sho I'm the best!

I have. I started reading up on Rx-8s in maybe 2003 sometime after the first prototypes but before production. I finally bought mine in 2006 after I had graduated college and gotten a job. Before I bought my turbo kit, I read no less than 3 books regarding the matter. 1 of which, Corky Bell's Turbocharging, should be readily accessible to you more or less regardless of modding experience. I have read the tech articles on here from Rotarygod from yesteryear. If MM or CRH puts more than 100 words in a post, I probably read that as well. This is all on top of a fairly strong technical background. There is no substitute for knowing what you are doing other than absurd amounts of money.

all you need is some stickers

I hardly post as you can see cause most of the answers and knowledge are already located all over this site. Just do what i've done for the past year play catch up and read. good luck with your choices I hope you take the time to research before jumping right in with mods.

shallow whits 04-03-2009 11:41 PM

There is a cobb for an auto right in the for sale section.
