MODIFIED MAG (front cover 20b RX-8)
 

had any body read that section yet?
how could they run to 11k rpm with microtech?
microtech only tunning run until 8k right?
it's safe? or just stupid?

hum.. it's hard to belive them.

The horsepower rating that they post and the horsepower rating that Acosta motorsports says it put out is also much different. Acosta is on the RX-8 forum all the time and much of his info is conflicting. It is still a nice install never the less.

yeah very nice car
but 11k rpm? i throught you will special clutch and flywheel system for that one. if the transmission could take it.

Do a search for "MVA", and there's a lot of crap on them.
I think they are full of shit.

Lots of conflicting info yes,
but remember this is the guy who half a dozen years ago had a 20B MX3 running low 7s making something like 1200 hp?!? Plus the 4-rotor drag truck they have now.
I have no clue what the real rwhp number on the rx-8 is, but it wouldn't suprise me if it is as high as I have heard.
Microtech can go over 8k as well.

Yes, and they are riding their drag racing success to dupe a lot of customers and post a lot of BS.  Didn't this car was being listed as 800hp on eBay?



-Ted

on the mag cover said
950HP World's First RX-8 3-ROTOR
and in the article said something about 850whp
and a 11k redline ;-0

*edit*
boost @ 24 psi
stock internal only porting and stuff

if i remember correctly it had 1050 rear wheel horsepower and 850 at the flywheel, and yes i typed that correctly. it also did the 4500mile round trip from nj to vegas (for sema) in 1500 miles

- 630.1 rwhp @ 14 psi
- ~850 rwhp @ 24 psi
- Trailered to vegas from NJ.

Answer your questions?

no, but i appreciate your clarifications :D

You sure?

Anyone know what kinda turbo is on that engine?


-Ted

T80, Turbonetics I think.

gt80q innovative dual bb.

also said that internals were"classified" meaning they are not going to tell you how they got the 11K RPM

I'd take it this could be in their website to...i'll look.

y is everything to u guys b/s. If any one those something on this forum that no one has done. It most be b/s. the magazine article says 950hp ( flywheel) that's y in the article it says 850. also about running the motor to 11000 rpm. we have been doing that for more than 5 years. when we were racing our pro mx-3 the car back then was launching on the 2-step at 11,000 rpm. That's why you balance the motor for. Also, just because the Microtech goes up to 9000 rpm it doesn't mean the motor wont. It just mean that you can only tune up too 9000 rpm. (one more thing) stock internals ont he motor, again YES i use stock mazda apex seals 2mm.

oh oh
