Some of you may remember my post about my cousins tiger avon that was getting treated to an RX8 engine and 6 speed box. Well it was dynoed today and made 248 bhp at the fly which is up on the standard power by nearly 20 bhp, that was at 9200 rpm. Those of you that know these engines will know that it is very difficult to get any more power than mazda did N/A, so we are pretty chuffed. Its being delivered back on tuesday and will have some final tweaks before its first outing at a track day next saturday at woodbridge. its never been driven yet except onto the rollers (its not going to be road legal)
I will get some pictures of it next week!.

if you dont mind me asking. what ecu are you running? as a friend of mine was wanting the RX8 install but could not find an ecu anywhere!

It's a motec, not cheap but does everything you could Want and more. Best thing Is it will store 4 maps for completely different cars, so he has one ecu and 4 looms, one is for a merc v12, the rx8 tiger, the 3 rotor rx7 and a vx220 with a rx7 engine. It doesn't care if it's turbo or n/a and it can control the doors in the variable intakenof the rx8

I did like the engine in my old RX8 - prob some going cheap now they have been hammered on tax and drink like a fish!

you got the photos yet?? did u have to modify the tunnel for the box?
