lol jedi!! you know me too well!!
i've been waiting for this thread

anyways, for the people who wanna know what i have

agency power underdrive pulley
agency power exhaust (catless midpipe and exhaust)
act prolite flywheel
act heavyduty clutch
aem cold air intake
axial flow short shifter
grounding kit (ebay)
91 octane gas
royal purple trans. and diff. fluid
mobil 1 synthetic motor fluid

 

i think that would be about it for performance mods. btw, i am gonna go change my spark plugs, wires, and coils pretty soon and im gonna go dyno my car and show you guys the difference that they make.

 

I'm just running Racing Beat CAI w/Ram Air Duct, Racing Beat Exhaust and Redline Trans/Diff fluid however, I installed new plugs, wires, coils and used the K&N air filter cleaning kit a week prior to the dyno.

 

Wait! Where is the turbo '8? All of the dynos are in the 200 and under range.
Did I miss something?

 

post #2, look at the last graph.

 

Play nice Jeff.... the turbo'd 8 hit about 280 with his current tune.

 

And that was with a Gredy.

I bet his over all expense was less than Mazports. I wonder if he did all the upgrades that are needed to that kit. Oil pan, return line ect, plus I bet his boost was way over the 4psi norm. Probably 12-13psi.

Also, wondering how long it will last with that Emanage unit. We know what happened to FanMan's.

Still think it's better to go with a full package like Mazsport, unless you know what you are doing like Mazda Manic or hire true profeesionals to install and tune correctly.

 

Ok working on the pics, my Image Shack account hates me at the moment so back to my photobucket. Will be up soon

 

2HP less than peterisurhero and he has a Mid Pipe, Flyheel, and pully mods.
(That's not too bad for me.)

Not to mention I drove 35 miles to the sight and then we put it directly on the dyno.

I do believe all others were tested with less warm up. In otherwords they had a chance to cool down. (So, there's the delta between mine and the others)

I wish we had A/F data. I bet I'm running leaner than the others.

Last dyno I had shows me running leaner than N/A dyno's I've seen posted. That is those without aftermarket ECU upgrade.

All I can say is mine is Juy 2003 build.

Gee I wonder how much I can get with RB Midpipe and RB flash?

It would be interesting if Jedi could get milage data from all of us and post it.
Then we can look at it from a differant perspective. I got 27k on mine.

 

It's amazing Wing got that 184 HP out of regular unleaded.

 

It was running at 10psi. The first run was in 3rd gear, and the 2nd and 3rd were in 5th gear. I am using Interceptor-X, not Emanage. All the upgrades were done to the greddy kit excepts the oil return line. FanMan was using the HKS unit which I believe was still using the stock knock sensor, and advance/retard timing accordingly. I also have the Mazsport cooling fan mod on. I spent less than the Mazsport package costs.

lol different Michael. That was Scremin8.

4 Michael's out of 19 RX8s

 

sweet results. Awesome there was a 200-rwhp all motor in attendance! And 280-rwhp for a GReddy kit, wow! That's a lot of boost for that little snail!
Looks like you guys had a lot of fun. Where's the pics of everyone and their rides!!!

Dave

 

^^; I have work in 10 min

I'm thinkin it''ll be slow enough that I an post. [Puts on flamesuit]

 

Wing is in charge of pics...he was the resident photographer for us yesterday.

 

Jedi,
Can you also note the wheel/tire size and brands, and whether or not each car had lightweight two-piece rotors? A flywheel and pullies helps a bunch, as this data shows, but it would be nice to know who's running lightweight wheels or brake rotors too.

 

my rear wheels+tires are about 4 lbs heavier than stock each... uggh. lol. but they look good. hahah steve at r&d said i coulda probably hit 200 if i had the stock wheels on. DARN IT!

 

Photo: more then half the cars had OEM wheels but I don't know everyone's specs. Maybe they'll post up specs when they see this thread.

 

Very upset with my results...which suggests that maybe I need to replace the coils/plugs/plug wires.

I was anticipating being one of the highest dyno results, based on what I have done to the car.....but I fear that an old, tired engine may have corrupted my results?

"Performance" (I say this, because I was not too excited about their performance on Saturday) Mods that I have on the car, at the time of dyno:

RB Street Flash
RB intake w/duct
RB exhaust
RP Supercat
Unothordox Pullies
ACT prolite flywheel
ACT heavy duty clutch
Grounding kit

I cleaned the air filter prior to the dyno day, and pulled out the Royal Purple fluids from the trans given some significant gear grind issues (yes, they have returned). I have some heavy 19'' Volk GT-7's with staggered tire setup.

 

I should have come with my Enkei RPF1's mounted......oh well. First time I've ever dyno'd a car....

 

did you change your coil packs?? cuz i gotta do that soon and see if that may have restrained any hp.

 

i never knew wheels made a difference on a dyno.

 

rotational mass and inertia

 

Updated post #4. I posted stack rankings of ALL the cars. (using their heighest pull)

 

the dyno was rigged.
..... jedi used his power's just to get into the top five...
