Nope. No one has yet been able to make their 8 go faster. If anyone was successful at all, I'm sure there would be some sort of thread relating their experience, and you would have found that while searching. I'm guessing you didn't find any thread like that.

How the hell did I miss this thread?!

Anyways, don't listen to these guys, they're immature, these idiots don't like to help out our new forum members.

Here's what many of us do to get 500whp to the wheels for less than $200! Basically, we buy 1993-1995 RX-7 twin turbos and we install it in our cars, it's a direct swap, no need for tuning or any kind of engine management. I'm doing about 600whp with my twin turbo RX-7 direct swap with the Chrysler Crossfire exhaust bearings. The exhaust bearings from the Chrysler Crossfire is also a direct swap, very simple, costs about $20 and you can find them anywhere. They will give you an additional 50whp and it's 100% safe for your car.

Sincerely,
Your friend,
Renesis SE3P

I dont think the 2009+ RX8's have many options yet.

The Cobb AccessPort only works on 04-08.
