Well actually this monday isn't good because I'm taking my car to the dealership for them to do stuff. I.e. brakes/cd player/rear headlight cracked. Nothing effecting what we're doing. I just want them to fix this stuff before they say they won't. I'll call you dave and we'll figure a time out.

I think I'd get it before the port job. Don't want Mazda pulling anything stupid if they suspect the engine is ported. They pull dumb crap now. Don't give them an excuse.

I was just wondering but how would they know? I doubt they would like open up the engine to check on everyone that comes in? Maybe I'm missing something. If we wanna do it now I'm going in on monday I can have them do it. We can just dyno again. I don't really mind. 40 bucks isn't anything.

Unless you came in with a engine related problem I don't see how they would even know.
BTW...you did know the latest flash is on hold?
Chances are when you go in they will send you out with no flash.
Might want to call ahead...

They'll just drive every car RX8 that comes in "to evaluate whether it needs new brake pads" or something. When they drive yours they should be able to tell a difference and then have a look at the engine

I just think that it is safer to get it done first. Some dealerships give a hassle over tiny things. Others look the other way when it comes to mods. What if we port this thing and then have a check engine light that keeps coming back? They're going to want to troubleshoot it. I'm not saying this will happen but you never know. I'd rather play it safe. Since we aren't going to increase the overlap at all, I don't suspect that you'll notice anything different from the idle or emissions standpoint. It "should" be just fine. I'm just overly cautious I guess. It should still appear to be 100% stock just by looking at it.

Very true RG. We have a little bit of time. I'm going to the dealership regardless on monday and I'll try and have them do the M flash but i'll update on what happens.

Are you planning on doing the porting in December or wait until after New Years? Depending on when it is in December will greatly affect my chances of flying since I go standby. January is easy though. I also need about a 2 weeks notice.

I see RG's point. But as of today the new flash is causing CEL's..
At least wait until they fix the code issue with the "L" flash.
IMHO

no, the halfie is my fc.
i've been so busy working on everyone else's stuff, that was the first chance i've had in like 7 weeks to play with my own![Smilie](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/smile.gif)
turbo is a 62-1 with a 1.15 p trim hot side. i'm out of range as far as compressor efficiency goes. i think i may bump it up to a t70 or 72 maybe... but once i get my fuel stuff under control, i should be able to make 440 to the wheels with this one.
the turbo renesis isn't gonna be a dyno ***** anymore. we were gonna do it, but the budget fell short at the last minute, so 320-340 whp will be the goal for that one. just enough to have fun with

forgot--the turbo for the renesis will probably be a t04b with a super h compressor. if the motor isn't happy with it, we'll bump it up to a 60-1, but that's too much turbo for the low 300's.

i dyno'd my car at the same place as the rx8. they had a problem and couldn't print up the graph last tiem, so they gave it to me yesterday.
here's the hp difference between 3rd and 4th gear:
