how to mod
what do you do to these cars to make them fast, besides boltons? forced induction or porting? how much rwhp does a bolton car make? thanks for the help i dont really no much about modding rotary motors
|
Buy a car that is fast.
|
i already have a fast car, my family member bought a stock one and i am going to help him make it quick.
|
8 are good looking, great handling 4 seater. Not made to straight line fast.
|
all im asking is how do you modify them, simple question. and the TA isnt just a straight line car either

To help you a little , with most boltons including a tune you can pick up an extra 20-25hp TOPS! |

goodluck picking out a turbo. i would look into mazsport if you want as much power as you have in your ws6. anything less you can look into greddy, pettit racing, hymee, and um..returning the car. |

sucks for your family member because it's gonna cost another 4k + to make it 'quick' unless you buy used parts. exactly. i beg to differ. |
a cheap and free way to make the 8 quicker TA?
power:weight ratio!!! try the how much stock rx8 parts weight thread. its nice read. a good start too. and in my personal opinion as i'm also trying to reduce weight and keeping near factory interior look...its pretty hard! even the door inner panel are made of some light hard composite. my realistic goal is 100lbs(no aftermarket light parts replacement, including wheels) |

for being what it is it handles pretty good, it is built more for a straight line i agree with that. but i still handles pretty good. im sure an rx8 handles better but for what i use it for it handles great
|
even if you strip 100 pounds off of your car i can do the same and with stock horse power still be quicker

Like the others have said, RX-8 isn't a straightline car, but only a handful of cars from factory will out handle it on the curves. |
I see another going nowhere thread in the making here.

Re:
Ya, for sure Phil, OP can keep asking about the RX-8, but what's the point of defending his Trans Am on another cars forum? Trying to convince yourself on choosing the right car? Enough talk about the Trans Am and talk about the RX-8, talk about the Trans Am at the www.transamcountry.com forum or take it to the general automotive forums.

i didnt even want to bring up my car, i just asked how you mod a rotary motor. then everyone says it cant handle or what else, i had to get somewhat defensive

I'm still a F-Body fan, I use to own a few Pontiacs and was with the gmeternal.com car club here in SoCal when I owned them. I still love Pontiacs, don't get me wrong, your WS6 is great, but what's the point of coming to these forums and saying:

It's like someone with a twin-turbo 350Z going to your Trans Am forums and saying how the VQ can be better tuned than a LS1, whether that is fact or not you know the Trans Am guys are gonna jump on him. Keep the questions about RX-8 or even better, do a search, there's a whole technical section with aftermarket mods you can search through. |
