With ECU Flash, Rx-8 gets Owned

[Pkay]

Like I said dude.... check the dyno charts above. You can see where we get the jump.



So going by everyones implications since I'm running roughly 160hp right now..... and had i had a fan and another run or so I'd have pulled 165hp.... and I'm runin the usual 6.5psi stock boost


So if I add an mbc to my current setup..... crank it up 5.5psi higher.... then my car is going to be pushing a steady 220hp?

Joe P might be able to pull that off.... but Joe P knows how to tune a car beyond 99.99% of the people on this board know how to.

Even with the flash if I bumped an MBC up to 12psi I'd be surprised if I passed 190hp



About the RX8: you've also gotta realise the people driving the rx8's arent the same as the rx7 drivers. RX8 drivers aren't the power hungry aggressive, piston eaters that us rx7 owners are

yea, i can understand where youre coming from, but then again, they dont need to be, they have you guys beat by like 70 hp stock.

 

[Pkay]

3) Again...the RX-8 is nice, but I just seem to think w/ the new flash and 12 psi we'd surprise the hell out of one, even from the line. It may have been as simple as that...

I wouldnt be surprised either if, like i said, he caught a s*** driver.

well not so much a s*** one.... just that rx8's seem to be selling to rich old fuckers who thought the 350z was getting too trendy.

 

[servoeyes]

rich old fuckers who thought the 350z was getting too trendy.

(lol)

Great line...but probably pretty true. You won't see younger folk driving that car because it's just too freaking expensive, and they can tune an rx-7, or Honda, or Acura, or damn near anything to blow away an rx-8 and embarress said old guys!

I'm not sayin' you could run 220whp, but I can see 185-190whp, which is actually around 210 crank. (evil)

Hey guys,

Doesn't the Honda S2000 have similar numbers as the RX8. Well I have had more than a couple run-ins with S2000's and I must say they aren't that fast if you don't beat them to death off the line. I was actually ahead of all the S2000's I raced through 3rd gear and going into 4th! I believe that is around 80 + MPH? BTW, I am completely stock and more than confident that if I was pushing a few more PSI I could have stayed ahead of him! That is no joke and if you call BS, you are a stupid *bleep* that doesn't have any experience racing anything more than your neighbors kids bicycle while leaving your home to goto work in the morning.

actually, if you think that street racing means ANYTHING then you are the stupid ****...take it to the track, there are too many variables on the street, like people not wanted to get in trouble, etc. i also love how EVERYONE says, well if its a bad driver, you could beat such and such car, ASSUMING that the MSP driver isnt a bad driver. like if you own the MSP, then you are the ******* s*** at racing. no one ever mentions that. i think its hilarious.

RazorP5,

You have such a way with the obvious- Such a novel idea "it is the driver" lol.....I guess if I was a terrible driver on the street or track - your P5 might beat me...Is that your way of thinking dumb ****...... I speak from experience and what I have done. I don't think you can beat much more than that kid I had described in my previous reply on the bicycle. I have seen other comments that you have made here- Some of them are just stupid magazine numbers. So don't ******* talk s***, ok...... I autoX from titme to time, I goto the drags from time to time, and I also road race from time to time. And competition is competition. You can make mistakes anywhere you are. The only difference is street racing is illegal, dangerous, etc.... I don't do it often, but make no mistake, if a driver sucks on the street, he can suck at the track and if a driver is good at the track, he will probably good on the street. Your pathetic asumption that there are too many variables is just dumb. There are variables everywhere (street or track). The only thing that you know are magazine numbers it seems.

BTW: If I am wrong, and you have loads of experience and I should humble myself to you. I will apologize, but from the s*** you say sometimes, I think I am correct.

Didn't you hear what I said before Razor knows all.

 

[yashooa]

Yes Gazor is the King of the "gobblecock" carGods!

(upyours) (asshole) (upyours)

Was I rude? Yes. Was it funny? oH I THINK SO...

 

[chrisjw85]

Um haha, I think this thread needs to be closed.

 

[DiscreetSpeed]

the ridiculous claim that the ecu flash beat an rx8

what a ******* geek, i guess Gazing P5 is trolling back into our section to give P(IECEofshit)5 comments.
yes i did smoke that car, with 12psi peaking 13 and a cai.
i will see if i i can get the video.
why would i lie for those that believe me.

 

[t3ase]

P5's are not pieces of s***. Let's not ever say that again.

 

[servoeyes]

^^^
Agreed.

 

[Striker187]

man i'm behind you discreet (thumb) s*** happens on the street. nice kill.

 

[girth]

Um haha, I think this thread needs to be closed.

Yup. Moved to the racing section and then closed.

 

[Matthew]

another pointless thread about someone racing a much better car on the street which means absolutely nothing. (yawns)

i think you people that believe that the msp can really kick a 6spd rx8 ass, should hang out at the dealership and let people know that they can kick that sports cars ass in a msp with a little boost upage, and save them around 14k dollars.

 

[03mazspeedproto]

i know maurice isnt lying about the kill on the rx8.... i personally know him and he doesnt lie about what he races, and the rx8 is definately overrated. the best thing it has is the looks... just like the 350z.

 

[1sty]

I'd like you all to know while you were arguing, I had sex....... twice (thumb)

If it was an auto you should win. If it s 6 spd you cought a bad driver or he wasn't fully racing you. Just my thoughts.


Carry On!

 

[Matthew]

(lol)

where you been this weekend?

 

[changedman]

come on now.

rx-8 is better car. although much more expensive.
