It's a new product in high demand. Hell Scott's doing better than Sony did with the Playstation 3. And they have a whole factory that is dedicated to making them

I think that it is very easy to test if those ignition coils increase the power. Just make several runs with two RX-8s , one stock and one with the ignition solution and see the difference. Prefer two cars that have run before and are equal.

I guess that apart from the dyno that Mazsport has published cannot do anything more to convince you that the ignition solution really works and increases the hp.

As it concerns that some companies advertise 10hp or more with a single cut back I guess that you have never seen a dyno from those companies. As a result, a dyno + company credibility will be preferred from just an advertisement about increased hp. Mazsport is a very credible company and has provided a dyno for the ignition solution. What else do you want to believe? A contract?

What fuel was used in that car? I'm not saying the coils can't do it but I'm just wondering if everything in that dyno is on the table.

And if it hit 361 rwhp with the coils why didn't they go higher like to a set number 375 or something?

I might do a dyno before and after, I'll see how froggy I feel when my ignition gets here in a few days. It will be on the same dyno Mazsport uses.

I did one with my exhaust and intake, I don't like dropping a lot of coin and wondering if I spent my money on promises...

I knew they all were around the 330 mark, although PTP claimed 354 with methanol injection, (they sent me a dyno) so I didn't know the only limit that was left was the ignition. Thanks for clearing that up.

Stalls under deceleration

I installed the Mazsport ignition solution today along with the Revi intake and duct. My 8 seem to accelerate well, but stalls constantly on deceleration. I am going to PM Scott but wanted to see if anyone here might have a suggestion.

more likely something to do with the MAF & Revi than the ignition is my thought ...

Sounds logical, check for leaks in your intake setup.

Yep, will try a few things with the MAF, the rest of the REVI install looks ok. I bought it used so my options are few. I am getting good at removing the bumper cover, looks like I might have to put back the stock Intake to rule out the new Ignition.

did you take the negative cable off the battery and perhaps didn't tighten it up enough?

Took that off for the Mazsport install, I will DBL check that but I don't think it the neg cable.

yep,

reset the ecu.. it will take several drive cycles for the idle to settle down.

make sure the nipple that you have to place on the throttle body is still on and tight.

Will do, I just placed a rubber vac cap on that nipple. Its about an inch long, but on type. Did I need to use a shorter cap?

length does not matter. just as long as it seals. they have been know to fall off.. also check all the clamps on the revi and the maf housing..

You can get vacuum caps from Pep Boys or Checker Auto Parts stores.

I used a small zip tie on the cap to ensure it was tight.

If the idle swings, I would think it is because of the vacuum nipple as well.

We didn't push further because we had already surpassed what the customer requested (350rwhp). I was unable to contact the customer by phone for permission so that was that. BTW the runs were performed using 93 octane pump gas.

so somebody enlighten me real quick(as to not hijack the thread)......was Expo1 having trouble with his idle after the install of the Revi? I looked above and I see all these comments, but no post by him saying that??????? Was it just a rough idle or a CEL thrown as well? Just curious

Yes, the reason I posted it in this thread was I also installed the Mazsport Ignition at the same time since I had the intake out. I assumed my stalling was do to the Mazsport because how complex can an Intake install be? But it looks like the issue is with the Revi and not the Ignition. I did get a P0506 CEL once during this but it has not returned since I cleared it. I reset the ECU via the ODO/TEST method and the car didn't stall but I have not been able to drive it yet. I was not leaning to that being the fix do to the ECU being reset when I took off the NEG BATT cable but I guess Swoope was correct. Sorry to post all this Revi stuff in this thread.

Ja, just drive it awhile, mine wants to stall too when you reset eCU or remove battery cable.

It's a known thing. After the ECU learns you won't have a problem.
