RX8 Dyno

ganseg · 11-14-2009, 10:01 AM

Would anyone say the RX-8 poses any special requirements for a dyno? THe reason I ask is because I would think the rotary would have a harder time spinning up the drum (low torque) and then showing its best at the high RPM when the HP comes on. I have also noted bigger than expected differences between stock engines - peaking at 8000 rpm vs still pulling when the throttle is cut.

I am hoping to dyno it before mods and then dyno each change - probably engine management first.
