Performance Tune Update
Hey everyone, posting new versions of my tunes. I’ve created a better, more responsive version of my previous tune that I posted a while ago. I’m only going to post the full versions of the tunes here — if you need any custom versions because you don’t have the same mods or you prefer a different throttle response, feel free to reach out to me on Instagram @rx_8mpg. I’ll be more than happy to adjust them to your setup.
Currently my mods are Turboxs racepipe, Turboxs catback, BennettBuilt LS-style ignition coils, and an AEM intake.
The Scorpion tune is currently the best, most responsive tune. It’s perfect for daily driving, while still giving you that extra power and throttle response you want for some runs. I’ve been daily driving this tune for about 6 months now with no issues and nothing but fun. Pops and bangs aren’t available on this tune, but I’ll also be posting versions that include them.
Best tune for performance, increased throttle response, and noticeable power gains throughout the rpm range If you don’t want constant pops and bangs but still want that crazy flame pop at 7k rpm, run this tune—basically the best performance tune I posted earlier but with only the 7k rpm flame pop. If you want no pops at all and just the best performance tune: If you want crazy loud aggressive pops, bangs, and flames while driving—best performance tune but with insane pops and bangs. You’ll get roughly 5 mpg with this one: Want pops and bangs but still want to keep your fuel economy? Then this is the one. It’s the tune I posted before with a few small updates: Thank you for all the support you’ve given me over the past year. You’ve really helped me fine-tune these maps to make them as good as possible. I love creating tunes for the RX-8 community and I’ll continue improving them for you to enjoy. No gatekeeping here — just love and support.
Small note:
Before downloading any tune files, make sure your email verification is completed on the forum/platform you’re using. A few users mentioned download issues that were simply fixed by confirming their email.

Please join my Discord community (S1 RX8 Tuning) for custom tunes, questions, or comments. I’d love to hear how these tunes work for you or if you have improvements to suggest.

Re: Performance Tune Update
I'll be uploading soon. I plan to keep the intake stock (If it's good enough for Speedsource, It's good enough for me), but adding RB Race Pipe and fix my SSV stuck open.
I really appreciate you guys sharing all the time and effort put into the tunes. I'll report after I get done.
Re: Performance Tune Update
Any chance you would be able to help me customize the tune for a street ported rx8?
