288hp 4port at 0.6 bar tuned with Cobb AP

I saw this video on Youtube and I thought it would be interesting to post.

I don't think its JDM 5 speed. Wouldn't the brake fluid reservoir be on the other side?

Either way its pretty impressive for the AT or more specifically the 4 port community of Rx8s.

oh oh, Phil will not be pleased and shall look to once again conquer the 4 port AT mountain with all of his might and fury. You have all been warned.

I don't even think the 288hp is the most. I've seen another video claiming the 4 port at 300+ but the video is really bad and you don't even get to see the car itself, just the alleged cars flying by on the highway.

288 is the highest I've seen on a 4 port.
that 300 doesn't count

I dont know if you've noticed that this car was dynoed in Europe (Greece afaik) and the power is calculated @ flywheel, its not whp
Its probably not auto also as we got quite a lot 4port manuals here...
nice find anyway:p

i already pointed out that there is no way its a JDM since the video says it was tuned with an accessport.

is this video more fodder for the sc/tc debate?

I just sent them a message on their Contact Us page and asked whether they used the 4spd auto or 5spd manual for those 4ports. I'll post up if they respond.

Us 6 port turbo guys have always known the 4 port would make an easy 300 whp - just took someone with the ***** to try upping the boost ....

Having said that :
it is flywheel HP not wheel hp on that dyno .
This was on a stock Greddy turbo - hope they were running meth !!!

damn if all this 300hp turbo 4 port talk keeps going around, I might have to jump on the bandwagon and sell the nitrous I have yet to install.

gotta disagree with you on that one Brettus, I don't think 300 whp is an easy task for a 4 port. Look at Phil's8, he's got every mod under the sun and still isn't there.

This is flywheel PS - not RWHP guys.

Multiply FWPS by (0.98632007271) to get FWHP
