I will post details and open a thread as soon as my turbo kit arrives..Now i m just waiting like mad all the parts to arrive and then get the engine out to make it stronger for turbo use

 

Why is this thread so dead???

I wonder though what can this turbo kit plus some addons and porting do in 17psi????!!!!

 

17 psi on street gas with 10:1 compression ratio?

psi isn't the end all be all though. you'll flow better on this turbo than the greddy and make more power with less psi..

 

Well i forgot to write that the compression wont be 10:1 like the renesis...More like fd compression... I cant imagine what it will make

 

Sounds like you've got some impressive upgrades to go along with the Type 3. I can't wait to hear what kind of numbers you put down with it all.

 

Do you already have a shop that is going to design the low compression rotors for you? If not Racing beat might be a good choice to help you with the internals. They have already made balanced and lightened rotors and a higher flow MOP for the renesis. www.racingbeat.com

 

I have already decided the shop...Rb hasnt made lower compression rotors just lighter rotors i think..

The shop i am working with has made some succesful big projects in Greece.Some of them ported renesis with greddy turbo and tuned and 39kg of torque in dyno,fd engine in rx8,nitrous+greddy turbo in rx8 tuned and many more to come.

 

im just wondering on what type of of clutch is recomended with this stage 3 tubo kit..

 

exedy twin plate

 

The stock clutch is fine with the turbo kits and doesnt have to be upgraded to have a turbo kit on your 8. When you are ready to replace your clutch I would suggest the ACT heavy duty street organic clutch without the flywheel.

That is what Scott recommended for me on my RX8. He says that the flywheel is lighter than most and if you lighten your flywheel with a turbo kit it may be more difficult to drive than most people would want.

I have 54k on my RX8 and that clutch will be in my car shortly.

 

I would have to disagree with the flywheel thing, yes it takes about a week to get used to it, but after that you don't even think about it. And on top of that it is the best bang for the buck mod you can do, especially if you already have an intake and exhaust.

 

I was told it was really a matter of how you drive. I have a lead foot and drive aggressively (Scott says LOL), but it depends on what you are looking for.....

 

You just have to gain alot more clutch control for proper application...learn how to feather the clutch alot more...other than that, once you get past that mentally its no big deal...

 

are you calling me slow, LOL?

let's get this thread back on topic!! TYPE 3 KIT

scheduled for another dyno run some time this month....

 

Betsey, you do have a lead foot and drive aggressively

The month is already half over. I cant wait!

LOL, thanks James. The new clutch is in and I am enjoying it so far.

It is like Christmas at the shop. There are Mazsport Turbo kits everywhere....being installed, being shipped out....it is really crazy at the shop.

We are planning on dynoing again but will tell you the results afterwards and not put any pressure on the man behind the curtain.

The wizard is at it again.

 

I look foward to coming....I feel so out of place I have not seen you guys in a while...

Boy do I have some surprises for you guys

 

SHIP SHIP SHIP SHIP

 

With this type of turbine we dont need a blanket right?

Also can we use a bigger turbo without changing tubes,intercooler etc???Maybe change also injectors...

Btw betsey we r out of track.June is coming to end com on.

 

T4 double ball bearing hybrid turbo....

 

Can i ask about the fuel consumption??what numbers do u get on a full tank???

 

Fuel Consumption??


LOL----on my setup at 340whp 8-12 MPG....depending on how much you enter boost.

 

Daaaamn...Thats not good i guess...anyhow thanks for the answer...I ll check out my consumption soon or i sell the damn car..

 

Not good?

Who cares look at the performance...your building a race car, not a economical point A to point B family sedan.

if you were looking for economical maybe you should buy a Honda

 

I know mate but i have my car for a daily drive..i dont have second car and with the gas prices here with a full tank=70+ euros or 80+ usd i make around 270km without any speeding...very economical driving...so i need a lot of money daily just to move around...
