$*$*$RX-8 Mod help(CannonBall)$*$*$
Hey guys i have just bought a used mazda RX-8 and i want to put some mods on it because i am going to do the gumball 3000, so there for i need some help with power! So i am thinking of a turbo but i dont know witch one is the most effective for the price. i dont know if there is a twin turbo that i can get or what but price is not a factor. But because i am going to have to go up against ferraris and such i want to have about 400 Hp to help me kill them and make them look like sh** and a waste of money so can you guys help me out!

There really isn't much you can do to the stock engine, at the most turboed 8's get 280hp
you're not going to beat a ferrari in an 8 unless the driver sucks ***

Howdy...if money is not a concern, you should check out the threads by rx8pr. He's got a couple of 8's down in puerto rice that are running several different setups. Turbo's, 3 rotor and others. There is a vid somewhere here that shows one of his 8's running a 8 sec 1/4 over 200 mph. I had thought he mentioned that he would start selling kits for rx8's and they were starting at 15K for a complete kit.
Too lazy to look up all the info, but it's here if you search...
here's just one of his threads...
https://www.rx8club.com/showthread.p...8&page=1&pp=15
ok, I got bored and looked for some...make that a 6 sec 1/4 at 204mph
http://videos.streetfire.net/search/...8C420FB28A.htm
http://videos.streetfire.net/search/...3AE44F4DB7.htm
the top 3 vids are rx8pr's...He's now using a 3 rotor turbo 20b making 650hp as a daily driver.

Now go spend some money...

Looks like he's edited the "$1000" part out of his original post.
Howdy Are you an Aggie? (Sort of a pointless question to anyone in College Station, but I suppose there are exceptions.)

No, he didn't. The 1000 dollars is from another thread he started.

You're either a moron or a liar, take your pick. Someone with a sizable trust fund wouldn't buy a used RX-8 and then try to make it as fast as a Ferrari unless they're a moron... The entry fee alone for the Gumball 3000 is 3 times the value of your car. So which is it?
