I have about 1000-2000 to spend on performance upgrades

Which one will give more horsepower or giving me some setups that you guys use personally

So far I am thinking thing of 2 different things
Racing Beat Intake
Racing Beat Ram Air
Racing Bear Exhaust
Racing Beat Cat Converter

or

GReddy SP2 Exhaust
AEM Cold Air Intake
Cat Midpipe

 

rb intake + ram air + midpipe + cobb accessport mazdamaniac edition

 

what he said ^

maybe if you have enough money, get coilovers.

 

1) Catback (your choice)
2) Mazsport's dual resonator midpipe
3) Cobb Accessport

That should take you close to $2000 w/ shipping cost.

 

does Cobb work with AT

 

According to their website its only for the MT.
Not sure if MM's allows AT.

read the red print under the first two paragraphs.

 

Mazsport ignition solution, cobb access port, Mazsport dual resonated midpipe.

Keep the stock intake if you get the Cobb AccessPort.

 

Thanks for the info... I'm at work and they have MM's site filtered (for some reason) so I couldn't look it up for myself.

 

Lightweight wheels and tires.......

 

used greddy turbo

 

yeah i would go with a used turbo or something too. i dont get why everyone is so obsessed with racing beat parts. so many ppl havent even heard of them and their parts arent that great for the money. personally i have the K&N typhoon intake and the agency power exhaust and i like that combo alot. its loud but doesnt drone at low RPM's and it gave the car almost 30 more horsepower

 

virtually everyone who knows anything about the rotary engine had heard of racing beat.

 

last time i checked CAI & exhaust doenst give the 8 any gains in HP.

 

last time I checked they do, they just aren't as significant as people would hope they are.

 

no prob

the dont give much, but combined with the AP, you can get more hp out of them

 

great to see your crack supply hasn't run out.

Racing Beat's stuff is the absolute best for what it's designed for. Their parts are intended to improve street performance without harshly impacting ride comfort. Can you get a stiffer ride and bigger drop? Of course, but you have a stiffer ride and trouble getting over speed bumps. They've been in the game longer than MOST of the other vendors put together. Will you build the ultimate track car with their stuff? No. Will you tune out the "everyman" softness and other weak points without making the ride so harsh you can't enjoy the car on the street? Yes. Is there room either side of RB's offerings, certainly.

And as for the intake and exhaust HP, you've got before and after dyno's, right?

 

*looks at username and walks away* lol.

 

Racing Beat FTW!

You won't get much power without FI and you can't get it for $2K
Get rid of some weight starting with the drive line, wheels and brakes.

 

wow first off no need for insults its a forum relax. and its my personal opnion i had the racing beat intake and i thought it was a piece i hated it. i think the K&N is way better sounding and give u more power on the dyno. and for whoever said do i have the dyno results yes the agency power exhaust midpipe and typhoon intake gave me nearly 30 horse thats way more then the RB intake and exhaust gives u. i know a kid with NJ tuners that has a yellow rx8 with RB exhaust and intake and he even admitted it didnt do much at all so chill out with the insults

 

 

The Mazmart water pump and RP supercat should free up some hp. Not much, but some. I did notice a small improvement in the upper part of the rpm band with both.

If you plan on going to the track, I'd recommend some stiffer sway bars. You can feel them on the street, but the track is where they will really be of benefit.

 

Zex Nitrous Kit. $800.
Borla Exhaust $700
Short Shifter $250

 

I don't have any experience with RB's intake or exhaust, but their suspension comps are excellent.

 

hahaha im guessing u found my comment back to him funny lol
