I was just in the local Japan town and I picked up a copy of option magazine(the one with the Amuse looking S2K on the cover). Inside were a few pics of the PanSpeed rx-8. It looked like they did some major work to the engine. All of the heat shielding was gone. All of the pullies had been replaced with lightweight pullies. The motor had no intake but ITB's on it that pointed straight up. It was crazy looking. I can't read enough Japanese to determine what the article was about but it looked like it might have produced 230ps+. Has anyone seen this? Any translation/help would be appreciated.

 

well, that's no good because stock the car makes 250ps.

 

What if its 230ps at the wheels

might not be that bad. but i'm skeptical that the jdm rx8 actually puts out 250ps at the crank. but that's what they rated it as.

 

The 230+ was wheel horse power. This is the issue. http://www.sun-a.com/teiki/detail.cgi?i=20&j=767
