OK that's pretty much a wrap guys. Last video is out there (modified the first post). Not sure there is anything in there that wasn't covered in my posts above. I will get around to the AC system wiring next spring :D

Haha, yes sorry. I forget what the algorithm tries to train you in isn’t always what everyone else wants to see!

Actually that’s no tune. Stock ECU with stock fuel maps etc.

So for completeness at the engine (because it’s what many manufacturers quote) 442HP, 421lb-ft

don’t take it personal, you’ll never see me post a dyno video, because unless it blows up spectacularly or does something click-bait worthy then watching a car on a dyno is the equivalent to watching paint dry on a cold, humid day.

in the end all anyone wants to see is the result; the dyno graph. And yes, 445 bhp works out to approx 375 whp. We can all appreciate that kind of output in an RX8 chassis. Nobody is denying that or trying to take away from it.

Maybe spend less time on videos to go driving and grinning more instead. 😃
