206hp...yup. Saw it...it's on film
Today a few NW RX8 ppl gathered for a dyno. MOST RX8s there spun about 185 at the wheels...very consistantly within a couple-few HP of one-another.
Until the Silver w/ Red/black leather went...198whp on one run...he hit 206 on another...His A/F ratios were in the mid 12:1 range; compared to my cars A/F's were were a solid point richer.
I'm not going to steal his thunder furhter, so I'll let him post up about it...
Thanks to all who posted up - I'll get pics/vids up before the weekend is over.
:D

The car is just a stock rx8 with 14K miles. nobody is sure why, but his car stays nice and (safely) lean...unlike ours which dip into 'pig rich' conditions.
When we get $, we're thinking about swapping his MAF/ECU into another car to see if those could be causes.

Same flash as far as we can tell. It was quite a day. I have all the data on a CD...so when I get it organized I can send it to everyone concerned if they want it.
I have a problem with my car....for whatever reason it would max out at 130+/-. Ran it twice, six or seven runs each...with new gas in between...checked the plugs. It has run OK til this AM...and it crapped out on the way to Kirkland to the dyno ....after a fill up at a Chevron??
I ran it down to 1/4 tank...refiled, and dyno'd again...same thing
Anyone have any ideas......I also ran it with CZ on, off, out, reset. doesn't seem to be the piggyback it altered the A/F as expected, just no power. Coilpack??......By the way... the guys at Carbconn were great! www.carbconn.com. I guess I'll have to take it in with the dyno graphs ( the stock ones :D) and get them to take a look

How about a teaser vid of our day. This was the highlight of our day. Click on the teaser.wmv file. It's 3186KB

DMP is going to host more vids once we get them rendered.

The ECU can affect power three ways - through fuel deliver, ignition timing and throttle position. It changes none of these while on the dyno.

However, it does not cause the PCM to pull power as others have claimed (provided your TCS is off).

One oddity I noticed yesterday...
All/most of us dyno'd about mid-140s lbs-ft of torque...that's about a 10% loss from the factory rating of ~160....I wonder why the car appears to lose much less tq thru the drivetrain as it does HP.
