louder turbo?
I just sold an 03 super charged cobra and there was a free modification to the air box that made the sc really make beautiful music. I just purchased my gt rx-8 yesterday and noticed it is extremely quiet. Are there any cheap mods like this for our cars?

Really, if you want it louder, get a new midpipe and catback exhaust
|
Hmmm, the title to this thread is "louder turbo".
You do realize that the RX-8 does not have a turbo correct? |
But all rotaries have a turbo right?! Since the last one did, that means they all do.... Right?
|
sorry so late.... the turbo makes the car quiet.... you are used to the supercharger whine....
just poke a big ass hole in the cat.... it will make lots of noise.... that damn turbo... beers :beer: |

A turbo on the other hand can be loud or quiet. Typically they are louder as they get larger and push more bost. This isn't always true though. Sometimes a small one can be heard to but not to the extent that you are used to hearing supercharger whine. The RX-8 does not have a turbocharger so you aren't going to get any whine of any kind unless you add a supercharger or a turbo. |
If i want to do the above mod, should I go with Folgers crystals or maybe a Columbian variety? HYow much more horsepower does the regular produce over the decaf?
|
If you want Max power you need Maxwell house.
|
?

ok I am stupid! I thought they were turbo charged thanks to the sales person! Now I'm pissed! but love the car

Off the top of my head, here are your mistakes...
1. you believed a car sales man. 2. you bought a car w.o. even knowing if its F.I. or not 3. If the engine DID have a turbo, would you be able to locate it? Do you even know what a turbo looks like? 4. Did you bother to look under the hood of the car before you bought it? If the salesman had told you it was a V8, would you be out trying to buy cams? Im sorry, but your stupidity is inexcusable in my eyes. Honestly, there was a sticker on the window that says in Black and White what type of engine is in it. You do know its a rotary right? Lemme guess though, the salesman told you that the GT is turbo and the base model isnt? Know thy car. |

yes bash all you want I deserve it. I have owned a 99 z28 6spd a 2001 SS z28 6spd and just sold my super charged cobra 6spd. UP until know I considered my self an informed car guy and assumed the 8 was fi because the rx7 was and of course the salesperson agreed. I did also look under the hood but didnt really try to locate the turbo, I was so impressed with the way it drove I had nothing to question. You dont question something that you thought you knew to be a fact. I also see a guy drive by my work everday that has definately got a turbo on his because it whines and whoohes when he shifts. I just assumed he made it louder. I am still in shock

Well, now you can set a clear goal for yourself... TURBO YOUR 8!
|
Actually buy the turbo kit, then when you can't figure it out, give one of the rest of us a smoking deal on it.

Waits for Mugatu....
