He is a rotary God, he also sponsors/races/tunes/etc. a 7 in the Japan GT series in the Gt300 class, awesome car, haven't seen how it's doing lately though.

When I originaly posted this information. I spoke with RE AMEMIYA's shop.

Supposedly the original incarnation was not stable. In Japan, there are a multitude of PCMs for the JDM RX8.

If they have worked out the kinks or not since then, I do not know.

But, I think they may have made some progress in the two years since I posted this thread....

Which was the one inquired about in my quote. Why would they produce version 2 when version 1 never sold? Bulletproof is the only retailer to have ever offered it, and for a long while it was $6500+. Even at $5800 it's too expensive. $4000, and people might actually buy it.

Version 2 is because of the new e manage they received. I was going to install it on my ride when he advised us to wait until they fully tested the new e-manage. This has something to do with Greddy and them of which we are not privy to any information as yet.

I am still waiting for my friends to start posting their reports of their buying trip and photos of his workshop.

Someone in the NJ area has the kit. I saw it at the Wayne Mazda Car show.

They sent me this today: No good turbo kit is going to be cheap.
This kit makes the car approx. 260hp

Can anyone read japanese and explain their chart?

The Japanese text reads:

ターボ装着
(TAABO souchaku)

Which roughtly translates to "turbo equipped." So, I'm guessing that the top line is the turbocharged version, and the bottom line is stock.

I can't read Japanese, but I think the upper curve is the power curve and the lower is the torque curve. That's probably the worst dyno chart I've ever seen. I've seen worse.
