MadDog I aint going to get into it with you man...I'm glad they fixed the emanage and it's working for you, heck that just makes the Greddy Turbo kit even better of a bang for your buck.

I'm informed about ALOT of stuff...but not everything, and I'm OK with that...have a better day...

I think I echo the feelings of everyone else who says I'll believe it when I see it.

Dude, I for one am pleased you posted this information as soon as you could, instead of hiding away preparing to prove every aspect of your post.

I am keen to see the dyno charts and further info on the build......not for "proof" but for reference

Im sorry. We just feel we keep being promised stuff and hardly ever revieve it in terms of the power department. I had no problem believeing your kit had potential, it was set up like 2 other kits making high power. We just wanted some credible evidence because we have been promised alot so far by alot of people.

Yes...I mean you MazdaManic, I saw the thread he was talking about and congrats on helping everyone else with the emanage.

I didn't mean Greddy fixed it, heck if anything you might have convinced me that Greddy's turbo aint so bad after all. It aint bad...but the intial problem with the emanage was causing trouble as you know.

If what MadDog is true (he is running 10psi without a problem)...I think 10 would be enough for me while I hope and pray the Inter-x came down in price.

MadDog just had his panties in a twist, no biggy.

After I get tired of that, I'm going to get a 550cc injectors and push the boost up a few more #'s. All of this will be using the eManage. There's really no reason not to. Its essentially running as a standalone on my car - at least in the same way the Int X is a standalone.

I don't know what part of this post is a personal affront to you. Stop being so sensitive. Its not conducive to constructive forum discussions.

I wish the guy with this setup would give it another go with the fuel strategy that I am running with the eManage. I'll bet he could get the 367HP and actually get home from the dyno!

Because the power was falling off.Why redline it if it is not making anymore power?

Visited your site. Very impressive, but $7500 is up there. Still, once the warranty is up I may consider it.

Nice work!

Also I think the power is falling off because the butterfly set-up.
We did not mess with it at all.We might experiment with it and see if there is more there.Another idea we have and one of our customers will be testing out real soon is the use of an even larger turbo and intercooler to see if we can make even more power.We have our sites set on 400WHP with just this turbo kit and an exhaust.

Thats very impressive! Looking forward to even more! I've seen what you have done with the Z and i cant wait to see where you take the 8. If im not mistakin i believe you are running the Emanage as your engine management option. Have you looked at the emanage fixes by mazdamaniac and maddog? Could that help more? Are you still planning to move to the UTEC unit by Turbo XS when that unit becomes available?

Understandable.

However, why is power falling off at that point? Fuel? I assume the turbo has no problems flowing all the way to redline...

I think it has to do with the butterflies or the fact that the motor needs a street, bridge or race port,etc......to increase the efficiency.

Does the kit come with any kind of warranty?

Also, what octane are you running to get these numbers?

Doh! That's right... now that you mention it, some guys from PR were saying that about their experience with the Renesis. THey said they couldn't push more than something like 350whp.... even with larger injectors and upgraded fuel system.

It might be time to port, or more likely from what many have said... work on the exhaust port and sleeves

Because the RX-8 doesn't have a CVT. Not trying to be a wise *** but at 8500 rpm it might still make more torque at the rear wheels than if one were to shift to the next gear at max power already.

Anyway, congrats to your achievement.
