Typically headers, cam upgrade, trickflow manifold, arp hardware, larger valves, forged pistons, etc.

Serious question.

I'm pretty serious in buying an rx7 turbo engine longblock.

I've got an RX8, What is there to work with? I'm trying to line up a rx7 turbo engine and nitrous/tune it. tear down the rx8 engine sometime, but that's not relevant.


I want to bridge port the engine. What is the best RX8 setup?

Do I have to 20B for 400-600hp?

I have a half bridge REW that makes 530 HP @17PSI on pump gas.....so 400-600 is doable

Don't expect to just throw it is..it is a lot of work...and needs a lot of fabricating to get it to work

Posts moved to new thread. Discussing an FD swap is inappropriate in a thread about turbocharging the RX-8.

You lack a basic understanding of the engine, it's design, what challenges exist to making power from it, and what those solutions are. It's recommended that you do a lot of reading of the stickies and other build threads. There are a lot of unique things about this engine and making wide sweeping generalizations like that is not only incorrect, it will cost you an engine.


The most basic honest answer to "What do you do with RX-8 engines though?" is:

Kill them.

Just ban him already.

It's impossible to go to any thread that he or a mod hasn't polluted because of this users dumb posts

His posts only exist in 5 threads now, two of them are locked in the new member area, the other two are on topic in general threads. All other posts of his are now in this thread.

He isn't being very pleasant, but he hasn't done anything to justify even a warning yet.

Well you asked for something sweet. Come on really....

We aren't all bad. Just some of us.

I was giving you friendly logical advice. You should take your 3 days off and re-read the code of conduct, especially rule #1 again.
