If someone did do a street port with stock ecu,do you know how much power gain was. enough to feel it was worth it ?
which part of the electronics controls the DSC and traction control. if a part is replaced by another system will the DSC still work ?

search for the street port. there was a long thread by guitarjunkie where he was street porting a rx8 for someone.
the ecu controls the DSC/TCS. with a piggy back system, everything should function as normal/stock, but with added tuning capabilities..

after a bad boost spike, she blew black smoke then quit that, ran fine for a minute of so but then idle like super bad, 2000 rpm, then 3000 rpm, then back to 2000 rpm and so on.
Smelled a little of something burning but that went away. It does drive, i drove it to the garage and parked it, but you have to rev it over 3000 rpm cause if not it surges cause of the idle.
Have not done a compression check yet, maybe this evening. I did notice that an intake bolt was loose, i tightened it but it made on difference. could be a bad vacuum leak but i am thinking that when the boost spike hit it knocked (which i did hear) and popped the seal.
Sound like anything familar to you guys?

Bend over, open wallet, repeat as necessary.
Repeating ? about which ECU flash you're on.

not really sure on the flash, i think something like the n, i don't let them flash mine cause it ran great and seemed a little more powerful than other 8s, so i did not want mazda messing with it. once i went turbo, of course not then.
i don't hear any grinding noises either, but the idle is hell.
