yer thats the one, very confusing indeed.
obv someone who shouldnt be near an ECU and laptop

LOL your right, that's the 1st ecu remap I've seen go backwards on power

[CORZZA]

the top figure for the clios was 104kw which is a bit down on the claimed fly wheel power of 132kw.

If you X 104 by 1.2 to get the flywheel conversion its still not at 132

Disappointing for the IS200 too.

Yeh, sometimes the manufacturers claims on power are much lower than is the case (especially with Evos and Wrx's and even GMH with its more recent V8's) but sometimes they claim higher, in some cases alot higher than what it actually is

This is what happened to alot of Mazda RX8 owners - when some complained about it to Mazda, I read Mazda was forced to take the car back and give out a refund and change their advertising of the quoted power figures ??? this is what I read up on several other Evo/GT-R forums of previous RX8 owners...has anyone had this happen with their RX8 on the Ozmazda forum Corzza ???

From what I recall the numbers looked like this: Mazda quoted for RX8 Manual 177kw - average dyno reading = 101kw at the wheels... a 43% drivetrain loss, highly unlikely, suffice to say, there were alot of angry and dissapointed RX8 owners especially in the U.S. from what I've read up...

I havent heard about this loss in power with the RX8's hey.

No one has mentioned it on the forum. Maybe they too upset too.

I know i would be.

Are there any RX8 owners at all who have had their car dynoed ???

Must be at least 1 or a few ???

I've seen one run at Auto Salon a couple of years ago - it put out only 99kw at the wheels

Would be interesting to see the money back/refund stories are true, the cars performance seems to suggest power is ok, but the RX8 is also a lightweight car...
