RX8 with complete decat exhaust and cone filter

Post by coges »

Hi everyone, I'm new to this world but I've had my RX8 for 12 years, my my2004 has the following modifications:
Complete decat cobrasport exhaust and intake with cone filter, original coils with NGK silicone cables. I wanted to kindly ask if with these changes to the engine it was possible to optimize performance with a dedicated mapping and if there was any other more specific mapping to try, in addition to those available on the Versatuner website. sorry for my bad english thanks :beertoast

You can try some of the off the shelf maps. Most are pretty safe still with most of the changes happening with timing.

Custom tuning will possibly yield better results.

I did pick up some more go above 6000 rpm by targeting high 12s under full load as the renny runs real rich up to and into the 10s.

Tuning gains are somewhat marginal on the renesis. Not a lot to "unlock" unfortunately.

thank you very much, I did some tests and the thing that I definitely noticed is the fuel consumption which has increased significantly :biggrin2
