I'm not sure if they'll work either. I also don't know if the pullies are aligned the same. One way to find out I guess.

Not sure if the two dynos are similar but if so it shows a noticeable drop in power early in the rev range . Do you feel this in reality Lennart ?
Sorry !! Better late than "(n) ever".
It`s hard to tell because my rev- range on the track are " working 5000 - 9000" and engine is doing very very well. Better than expected. I even can give Porsche 997 GT3 a match when I`m lucky.

Lennart! We should test your 1/4 mile time and mph so that the RX-8 members here could see
how fast your car is.

^ This must raise a few eyebrows in the Porsche

Is this with a stock powermod tune map from DNA, or did you dyno tune it yourself?

No way, Lasse. This is an 3 hours track-car and I need my gearbox and diff in god shape to do this 3 hours race 6 times a season + 4- 7 sprintrace on top of that.

This car will never do a 1/4- miles session unless someone buy it first, which no-one can afford.

Yes, someone did raise his eyebrows.

It`s not the stock Power Mode map, this is my own map. If you look at Lambda- curve we have put a lot of effort to get this configuration.
