My Rx8 will be going to the dyno soon. This time a forum member and moderator will come down to make a story for Rx tuner magazine. This will be my story on some of the potential I have found with the rx8 and nitrous for the magazine. I will leave no secrets untold. I expect 350 rwhp with no problems, 350 reliable hp is my goal to run in the 11 second zone with drag radials on my daily driving Rx8.

 

Good Luck ... look forward to the results.

 

Gonna do a n2o and a non-n2o run? Love to see what it does with the porting alone.

 

Yeah, me too. Good luck! post some pics of the mods. I'd like too see what porting does...

 

Good luck..I'm interested in seeing how the stock rx-8 drivetrain components will hold up to some nitrous assisted launches on drag radials or some et streets. Hope all goes well on the dyno.

 

Sweet !

what does porting and polishing a Renesis run $$?$$

 

Exciting stuff, can't wait to see!

 

Mr P&P, what transmission are you running? Also can you say what you did about the side seal clearances?

 

Good luck, I am a lot more interested to hear about what porting etc. has yielded you but I am also interested in learning the secrets of the 150 shot. If you are shooting for 350RWHP that means you aren't making too much more than 200rwhp without the nitrous though, which is kind of a let down, but will wait and read the article before making and judgements.

 

good luck ito!

 

I'll bet this thread will be a sticky by tonight. Can't wait to see that article.

 

are you runnign the stock tranny? it would be great if it coul dtake those kinda' numbers while being launched hard. :D oh please please work and not break my baby wants some added zoom-zoom too. lol

 

good luck, cant wait to see.

 

Ditto, look forward to updates and dyno numbers

 

Sounds great, runs both with and without nitrous, please...

 

good luck

 

Good Luck, Hopfully u can make it to ur next oil change LOL, runs with and without nitrous is the only way.

 

POLAK YOU SUCK now that that's out of the way i cant wait to read the story. good luck Mr. PnP. my future plans for my renesis are along the lines of yours. thank you for being there first.

 

Nice! I would love to see the gains on P&P alone (w/o N2O) and of course with N2O. Good luck Mr. PnP!

 

That is really awesome PandP. Although I find it weird that everyone is welcoming you with open arms now(not that they shouldn't be). I'm very excited to see the potential of this awesome engine. One last thing, do you go to Raceway Park in Englishtown? Just wondering, I thought I heard someone say you frequented there, it would be cool to see you drag it once. Thanks and good luck.

 

Did your shop do the porting? and if so.. sign me up

What do you think the hp potential would be with just this...? thankx p&p.. a former member

 

good luck and i am very much looking forward to seeing some numbers!

gotta know what the P&P costs. i'm very much interested!

 

Port and polish is probably going to run from $300-$700. Of course if you cant R&R the motor yourself thats an extra $500-$1000, plus you will have to strip the accessories, another $200 if you can't do it yourself, plus you will have to replace the seals etc. at the same time so $500-$1000 in parts and then of course the labor of pulling the motor apart and putting it back together. Added up quick didn't it.

 

It will be interesting to see the hp gains just from the port and polish.
Curious what the most hp can be obtained from the Renesis in its naturally aspirated form.

 

I agree, while 350whp will be nice to see, I'd be more interested to see what it's capable of without the juice.
