I just recently purchased a 2004 RX8 (manual) and would like to increase the performance. Right now it's running 238 horsepower (stock). I am pretty illiterate when it comes to cars but I fell in love with this ride. Any suggestions?

thanks?

 

haveing the turbo is nice but also you have to keep putting money in it all the time just when you think it is done you spend 500 $ more and GAS don't even go there i am getting 140 to 150 miles on a tank. BUT you can talk back when a V8 pulls up next to you...

 

going FI is the only way your going to see nice gains, you can try your luck with a CZ but with the new flashes out your not going to get much there either.

 

How much are you willing to spend ? That's the first big question.

 

i hear stickers are where its at

 

he bring a good point, somebody can tell me how much do you lost MPG with a turbo set up ??

 

When I had my kit I saw little to no change in my milage, unless I stayed in boost all the time, but how is that different than staying at 9 grand all the time.....

 

i hear the turbonator is the smart choice for the budget minded enthusiast

 

and civic owners

 

drop it off at my house with a blank check... don't ask questions. i'll call you when it's done. :D

 

 

I like that ... but i have to say this car needs a turbo mazda should of turboed it even if that wold up the $ I would still buy the car anyway... with the turbo I think rx8 has an edge.

 

Go a head and put a Supra engine on the RX8...........................
the forum members would love it.

is joking.......

 

Or put a turboed 20b engine

 

here you go, better get it fast

i could build a turbo kit with the proper motivation. it'd be useless though. it'd put out way more power than pump gas would allow with compression that high.

get the greedy kit, then clip the turbine and have a bigger compressor wheel put in. easy 300-320 whp with decent spoolup.
