"and this engine has 19psi oil pressure on idle warm! last engine only had 10psi..."

That is weird... I wonder why...? Anyhow, really nice to see her back in the road with brabber

yes was fun specially with the skinny T1r's on! on 6 til 6 nights for the weekend so misfire will have to wait til after weekend. Oil pressure ive swapped the oil coolers small front big side but cant see that making a difference happy to have more not less though!

Have not had a lot of time recently due to decent overtime rates in new job!

but managed to take out yesterday and misfire still there so carpet bombing it this morning with all ancillaries from race engine. get no codes for misfire which is strange...just hoping not low comp! this engine extremely flamesome? ( new word i made up)

sump is on it way from the US of A fingers crossed i can get on a track soon.

Are you using the ecu from the bridge engine?

boosted · July 18, 2015, 09:26:34 AM

Yes...but its had plenty of time to relearn...and lots of resets...powers been off 48 hrs .....its intermitent as well...just not revving out cleanly.

Grant Monkhouse · July 18, 2015, 09:28:44 AM

Have you reset it and gone through the procedure carl says to do? Incresing throttle lightly in 3rd until max revs etc???

boosted · July 18, 2015, 09:35:21 AM

I ve brake stomped. Code clears. Batt off. Driven steady it revs out clean but when i nail it getting misfire 6600 onwards....on off lots of bangs n flames...coil leads etc all from race engine so i know there good.....im just gonna swap the lot and see.....

boosted · July 18, 2015, 09:42:21 AM

I think I need to drive a stock rx8 to feel the difference to the BPorts as never drive one before mine. Carl says most likely too be making 230 HP. I will dyno my car ASAP as now I know how to stop the car effecting the power run. Simply remove the fuses for the abs esp traction control gubbings and do 3 power runs, the third will give the most accurate HP

boosted · July 19, 2015, 08:45:36 AM

This must be happening alot to cars on rollers ebd and traction control raining a cars performance in.

Grant Monkhouse · July 19, 2015, 09:40:43 AM

Yeh it is, it is the main cause to people getting low and crap numbers on the dyno. And probably a reason people are put off from buying rx8s too as they think they're slow.

Big discussion about it on rx8 club USA. Holding the esp button down for 10seconds doesn't work properly and you have to remember to do it after every run. Complete PITA IMO, simple easier and quicker to remove the fuses
