Hey i was thinking about putting a turbo on my RX8 but... i dont really know much about them i've read threads till my eyes hurt but either i dont really understand the turbo lingo or even know whats going on. The obvious response is "Then dont turbo your RX 8", but i dont really want to settle for that one. So what im hoping for is a little help from what i would call you experts out there...
What im trying to do if possible is get around 300 rwhp spending as close to 5,000 as possible, from a completely stock RX8. If possible. Any suggestions are appreciated thx.

 

Please Read The STICKIES!!!!

Thanks

Please dont eat me!!! Lol jk this helps alot.

 

i would budget A LOT more than $5k
example:
greddy kit = $3400
upgrade (which you'll need)= $1200 - $1400
AccessPort = $680
Ignition $500
Install = $800+ labor
and that doesn't include a BOV, gauges, etc everything else you'll NEED to turbo

 

add in 4-5k if you blow your engine and want to stay turbo. otherwise you can do what everyone else does when they blow their engine - sell off the FI kit to pay for the rebuild and go NA before selling the car.

 

It's funny because it's true !

 

thanks all of this helps, but what are the major things i should look at getting first, and upgrading later. Would it be better to buy a bolt on kit or piece it together myself?

 

piece it together - get the twin turbos off an rx7 then ...............





Oh **** not this again

 

Where could i look at finding those?

 

since renesis isnt here ill help him out,

the twin turbos from the rx7 are a direct swap and they are only 400 dollar, but you will need exhaust berrings from a crosfire they are also a direct swap

hope this helps

 

any rotary shop can ship em to your door

 

^true. looks like these guys answered all your questions.

 

you will reach your 300 hp mark with the rx7 twin turbos

 

any recommended websites anyone? Thanks for all the help thus far guys.

 

just google for rotary shops in your area and call em asking if they could get ahold of rx7 twin turbos and their pcm

 

It is a real easy swap to do but make sure you pm Renesis se3p because he has all the inside knowledge

 

yes renesis se3p is the man he does right hand drive conversions and everything

 

With the rx7 twin turbos you dont even need to tune because the pcm's are the same. Just buy some universal piping on ebay, and like others have said, its a direct swap

hope this helps

 

ross the man he runs this setup and wins every week at the track

 

fixed. it's just that good.

 

ross and me have track experience

 

If i do decide to do go with the RX7 twin turbos, do i have to modify the engine compartment any or can i leave it as is...and where can i get ahold of some crosfire exhaust berrings?

 

berrings or berries?

 

try the crossfire forum
