Bummed, but bring on OU!
Bump for transmission info:
Where did you get the shift pressure riser, and is it working?
How similar is the tranny to the FD's? Would rebuild kits be interchangeable (like level10's stuff)? Do you know anything about the torque converter (size, rated stall speed, etc)?
TIA

P.S You guys are saying your getting over 8 seconds 0-60, I've used a stop watch and got myself at 7.1..BTW I have a spare-tire in the trunk and a sub and I weigh about 215 so imagine what I would do without it..

I don't know how the hell you managed to get 7.1. You must have pressed start from 10mph or something. Best I ever got was 7.9, and again...that was a stop watch which isn't accurate. Also take into account that the RX-8's speedometer is 2mph faster than what you're actually doing so 0-60 in this car is more like 0-62 mph. The only way you'll get an accurate reading is at a dyno.
Really one of these days a bunch of automatic owners should get together and pay for 1 dyno or something just so we can finally know what it actually does. I don't even own an automatic anymore and I'm still interested in hearing the true times.

VelociRedBeast I've never even heard of Belleview before but I just looked and it's near Pensacola. I'm all the way at the bottom of the state so it would be a long *** drive. But look at this and try to tell me your automatic 4 port is faster than a manual 4 port:
I think what he was trying to say here is that the UK version of the 4 port (which only comes with a 5 speed manual transmission in the UK, not automatic like ours) does 60 in mid 7s, so he believes this turbo kit would put him in the 5 second range.
He's probably right since the UK version of the 4 port allows for launching the car at high RPMs (manual transmission) and you a have transmission that weighs less too.
7.4 seconds sounds pretty impressive to me for an NA 4 port rotary engine.
If only our automatic would have been capable of that I probably would have ended up keeping mine.
VelociRedBeast: If the best his manual 4 port can do is 7.4 seconds, how do you expect anyone to believe an automatic version of the same engine does it in 7.1?

Its not only a UK-version.
I believe it's sold all over the world except the US.
I have this version myself,but I've never tested it.
German car magazine Auto Motor und Sport tested 0-100kmh(0-62) in 7,7 sec.
Factory numbers are 7,2.
Factory numbers for the 6-port is 6,4,but it's some tenths slower.Just under 7 sec.

I don't own an automatic anymore so I don't really watch this thread the way I used to, but I can't believe the guy who installed this turbo on his automatic hasn't posted on here for this long. That's pretty disappointing. Oh well.

RE Amemiya's kit (http://www.re-amemiya.co.jp/new_part...turbo_kit.html) requires the change of "main" injectors (I assume that means primary).

it would probably cost the same as boosting a 6MT. It would be the cost of the turbo kit and fuel management. I don't think the emanage that comes with the kit works for the A/T. Maybe if it can be unlocked, you can make a new map. If not, theres always other options like emanage ultimate or the Interceptor-X (whenever they come out with one for the A/T). It would also be wise add a tranny cooler and maybe a second oil cooler.
So assuming the e-manage that comes with the kit'll work, just the cost of the kit (about $3k) and tranny cooler(anywhere from $50 to $200). Oh, and, of course, the cost of installation and tuning....
