so with the rx8 i just bought i also bought the INGS body kit, JIC exhaust,vis racing cf hood, aem cai, work crkai matte blk rims, clear corners, strakes, spoiler, what should i do next to improve my performance cause right now all i've bought is basically exterior mods, i don't have enough for a turbo, but i was thinking the cobb accessport was a good idea, and probably some coilovers lol but i don't know what will give me the best hp increase for cheapest price...

 

Cobb Accessport is about $600 with all the tunes, and its a real good investmestment in terms of Horsepower and tuning. But when u do have money, get the Greddy UPgrade kit from MazdaManiac or was that MazParts??

 

Or get a lighter flywheel

 

and SR pulley set

 

and REVi Racing Beat intake/ sell ur old one

 

Wow did it really take one minute between each one of those thoughts...

 

one thing you can do next is stop making me jealous.

but you can post pics, if you want.

get the accessport. that's my next mod along with a (tanabe) cat back.

 

haha thanks, I think I'll just go with the accessport first and then maybe get it lowered,etc. and as for pics, i just ordered my parts so it'll be another week and a half till i get everything installed. then i'll post some pics

 

^^^good choice. Access port

 

Overpriced and they don't do anything- stay away.

 

^^SR MOtorsports dynoed their stage kits, i dont think they are lieing, but then again, i havent done it myself.

 

Wow so I guess you believe everything that is on the internet too,,,
SR pulley produce about 3whp I used to have them on my car...
aggree with CW they dont do anything...

 

Are you running with stock tires? Consider upgrading to a 245 or 255 width performance tire.

 

The old adage from drag racing comes to mind when someone whines about getting horsepower for cheap: "Speed cost money. How fast is your wallet?"

You're done with the cheap stuff. You've gotten with the basics: intake, exhaust, trunk. Get it breathing better, get rid of the results faster, and get the junk out of the car.

Now comes the really hard part: planning. Yep. Planning, and sticking to the plan, that's the really rock-hard bitch. I know what I'd like to do to my own car, but it's not getting done without a plan. No easy answer, no "lol", now it gets serious, hard and expensive.

What are you going to do "fast"? Showoff runs on the street? 1/4 mile on the strip? 2 hour endurance on track? They don't use the same stuff, all of it costs a LOT to do right, and all of it costs a hell of a lot MORE to do cheap, because you'll always be fixing it.

Get a plan.

 

Can't believe no one mentioned this yet. BHR Ignition Kit and Their flywheel.

 

Look, i bolded some stuff for you and....
3hp for $200 pulleys is better than 3.5hp for $600-1000 exhaust,

 

Well K&N supposedly dyno'd the 8 with the Typhoon Ver. 2 intake and came to the conclusion that it produces 11.15 HP extra on 8700 RPM. They were either all drunk during the dyno or they're like most producers just trying to fool the customers and selling their product. My car actually ran noticeably worse with the K&N intake so it's obvious that they're full of bullshit.

I'm not saying SR Motorsports are lying but until some non-partial member dyno their car with and without the kit, I won't believe a word of their 'butt-dyno'.

 

sorry if i dont respond to ur next post (im leaving to go paintballing), but you say that about the K&N, i think they ran it cold, it is a RAM intake so i think the hot air in the engine makes it worse. I say this because Racing beats REVI is not much different but they got it right, (K&N filter), and they boxed it to protect from the engine heat, and then gave it a huge *** air duct to suck up cold air. I believe though i believe you, K&N must have ran it cold.

 

Yeah but well I used it during winter time here (Norway), and it was pretty cold around here... <- 32F.

 

if it's a manual then I would suggest the AFE short shifter.

 

^ im in love with mine

 

I know I even loss hp when I had my K&N in,,,

 

yup AFE FTW...

 

Pettit Supercharger kit.

 

Hmmm all show and no go haha . If i were you id save up for a turbo , if you dont have afe short shifter get it , atleast it makes driving more fun. Not some appearance crap like a wing that doesnt do ****. Get access port and tune your car for what it has , exhaust , intake etc. Atleast it will free up some hp , then go turbo . But like that one dude said , make a plan , because if you dont you will never stop modding , trust me lol. And pulleys are a waste of money , its all underhood bling , unless you have a supercharger or something , it wont make a difference.
