I recently picked up at 05 black rx8 n want to add some power to it.i dont want anything real complicated just some stuff i can do on my own, ei exhaust cold air filter ect...

 

well intake wont get you too much...exhaust..really nothing..but you can still get em, a little diffrence

 

Midpipe and exhaust will give you the most gains as far as bolt ons. People have also had success with the racing beat flash.

 

How do you do/get the racing beat flash ? money??

 

yea i was lookin at the rb flash but i want to here some reviews on it see how ppl like it, ni was lookn the borla cat back, cant decide if i should keep my cat or go midpipe, but what could i do performance wise w the engine. i really want to get some more hp outa my car w out a turbo

 

your best bet, the racingbeat intake, exahsut, the mazsport ignition system upgrade, and the interceptor-x,
the inter-x and the ignition upgrade was dynoed on a stock car other then that and it gained 23whp over stock, the ignition upgraded gained about 10whp, and it seems tyhe racingbeat intake systems seem to be a popular bet, almsot everyone who dynos over 200whp has the RB intake, other then that, lightweight flywheel, and lightweight rims

They are testing the RB flash in the next issue of D Sport.

Also be aware that a midpipe might also cause certain issues that you may not want.

 

yep,

the info is there if you take the time.

everyone wins.. btw, you can pm the person that took the time with a thanks..

FYI you didn't buy a Civic and you can't mod the 8 like one.

Search and you'll see.

 

you can also come out any given tuesday to out nj meets and discuss with on average a dozen rotary owners....look in the NE section for the thread

 

Well, it was discussed in that thread but didnt find a definitive answer... I have the RP supercat and wondering if the heat would be an issue with the RB race flash. Not to hijack this thread but since the RB flash is being discussed. From what I saw in the linked thread it sounded like most didnt find it of concern but I didnt see it said very definitively. I also have nitrous so making sure the pairing of RB flash + nitrous wouldnt destroy the cat.

 

Nitrous + RB Flash = great way to add power

But yeah, exhaust temps will increase so killing off the supercat is a possibility.
