How Kane and Ray build a Ceramic, Ported, Turboed Renesis!!!!

No LTFT is 0 (well close enough); STFT bounces a few % points... the OPEN loop area is where I get into my 3% deviation which I'll work to get out tomorrow.
I haven't been warrying about injector duty cycles as I am still only tuning my cruise areas. Once the injectors are right then yes - all this stuff is scaled off the MAF.
I'm documenting this all for a tuning thread in detail.

I seldom get 28 MPG, but I regularly get 25 or 26 on the highway if I stay out of it.
Around town (even getting in it a lot), I see 18 to 20.

Actually, for reasons that are beyond the scope of this thread, an RX-8 with a turbo (and properly tuned) gets better gas mileage than an N/A RX-8.

Because of your particular combination of devices, the demands on the motor at low loads is somewhat higher than it is on my car and the required part-throttle torque for similar acceleration at low-load is higher.
As an additional datapoint, I get mileage as low as 8 MPG on the track, where I spend 80% of the time above 6k RPM and 30% or more of the time at WOT.

It doesn't like to start in the cold as much (3 or 5 turns as opposed to 1 or 2), but the throttle response is still the best I've had in any motor and the idle vacuum is still climbing instead of dropping, despite my tendency to leave it on the rev limiter in second on my way out of the Safeway parking lot from time to time.

Hehe, nice... how do you get traction in second? I don't know if its due to the colder temp here and my summer tires, but I break the rear free so easily in second.

Wider tires (I'm on my spare set of 245s at the moment until I can get a set of 275s), proper amount of camber in the rear and throttle modulation.
I was heading up the hill from my house the other day and I was at 3000 in 3rd.
I stood on it to pass a minivan and ended up just spinning.
Ahh. That's what you meant by "goad". lol

I run stock springs with about 100 extra pounds on the rear axle, 275 NT-01s. Cold tires, I can pop them loose in third but they don't like the cold much at all. Warmed up, no traction issues on good dry pavement. I do find that the stock suspension (at least mine) has a tendency to wheel hop when they are cold.
I'm very much looking forward to Kane's engine tuning/break-in documentation. That stuff is usually a good read and I sure do like numbers.

Power!!
Those rates sound like you skipped the RB springs and Bilsteins and went to a set of coilovers. (Except the progressive rear rate)
I don't want to drag Kane's thread off topic. Do you have a thread on your current suspension setup?

That motor has been running for a while and is a champ!
Ray: how long did it take you guys to slap that beast together?
Jeff: how many miles on it now?
Actually, that's not ENTIRELY true. Well... all of it IS true minus the RX-7 part
