just questions,,,,
hi scott, i decided to ask question in here.
last night, i put a turbo on, but the problem was in coils. we install the coils, it's started, but it didn't start the engine. i sounds going to satrt the engine but it didn't start. then we decided to gave a shot stock coils, it turned on immediately.
can you tell me what is going on with the upgraded coils????

RX8 and a Truk....
of coarse not!! lol temperature changes.. humidity changes everything has little factors in what number it throws down..
what ever number im pushing it is kinda low but when i see myself door to door with a 350z, g35 and mustang Gts i know something isnt right. haha those things are pushing more power more torque but sure they do weigh 300-400 pounds more lol.. but im no lightweigth either
Im 250 POUND 6'2'' guy
maybe the 8's are a freak of nature lol No clue

If you're door to door with a 350z, G35, and Mustang GTs, down the straights, they may be sand-bagging.
250 wasn't a lie. 250 was right. When it was frying cats, mazda jacked up the tunes to bring the emissions into compliance. I think Mazda simply applied math to the revised figure without actually testing the engine.
Why would you point that out? to whom?
Mine made 171 and the air/fuel was terrible in stock form, but I did not pull the fuse, I actually forgot to even press the dsc button. The air/fuel did lean out after k&n filter and exhaust and it shot up to 188 rwhp with both of those. But 171 is ridiculous. I forgot to mention in was 90+ degrees out.

note: don't rely on the installation's pictures....make sure you know this wire diagram too when the installation happening..
"
EM L1 Green => MS Grey / Red
T1 White => MS Grey / White
L2 Yellow / Green =>MS Grey / Black
T2 Blue / Orange =>MS 2 wires a red & Grey
As for the MS harness to NEW coils I was told by Scott the LAST connector goes to the FIRST coil (L1) and the others follow in order T1,L2,T2 Like the photo in post #431
"
what happened with mine was the person who build up mine, putting the wrong order or wrong place of wire. my mechanic had to switch it around so it was installed according to wire diagram. so, mine would look like little ugly because it's backwards....but i don't mind as long as good quality.....

sandbagging?? what is that?
My car isnt stock.. ive got light mods but its enough.
I remember those pesky little EG hatches with GSR swap gutted used to hand my *** to me. like 1.5-2.0 car lengths now its .2 = a fender lol AKA DOOR TO DOOR. Hes just as fast as 350z's haha
sooo I dont think sand bagging or what ever it is justifies me being door to door.
I dont think s2k has anything on me.. but never ran against one

**** the S2000, lol. I hate convertibles, and a crappy interior. QS., would it be better to go with the Cobb AP, or the Mazsport Ignition, my car is running a Mazdaspeed CAI, Exhaust, and RP supercat. I will have both soon, looking for one at the moment for most gains and practicality.

Racing Beat and Hymee each got about 217hp at the crank, from what I recall.
250 wasn't a lie. 250 was right. When it was frying cats, mazda jacked up the tunes to bring the emissions into compliance. I think Mazda simply applied math to the revised figure without actually testing the engine.

217hp seems right: 20% losses = 173.6, 15% losses = 184.45. Right in the range of what people are getting on the dyno.

Still need a dyno run and track day to verify.
I did some calulations today and I believe with the correct mods we will have the same HP/weight as a stock Mustang V8 300 poine version.

You won't. Check engine lights don't "tell you" anything. There is one light on the dashboard that is activated for numerous problems. The only way to tell which problem has tripped a check engine light is taking it to a mechanic, dealer, or by having a compatible scan tool.
