More power!
Come hell or high water, I'm going to have one of these cars as soon as it hits the shores (provided a dealer wants to sell it to me for a non-marked up price). However, I like my autos overpowered - sports saloons included. Despite the admirable performance of the N/A RENESIS, I'm real keen on higher torque and to a lesser extent, HP. I remember reading somewhere on RotaryNews (http://www.rotarynews.com) that Mazda engineers are already working on throwing turbos on the RENESIS, but there's a very good chance we won't see that on the initial RX-8s. "Maybe in a later model year RX-8..." is what I recall reading.
Sounds to me that the aftermarket rotary gurus have a potential field day coming for building super- and turbocharger kits for the masses. My question has two parts: a.) What type of forced induction do you prefer in this case? b.) What kind of output levels would you seek? I know the responses will be all over spectrum (from "Anything less than 500hp is for wussies!" and "Why not supercharge, turbocharge, AND add nitrous?" to "I love my rotary...no force-feeding for me!" and "Screw rotaries. I'm installing a LS1 for that down-low grunt!") As for me: a.) Twin sequential turbos b.) 400 - 450 bhp with the hardware build-up to prevent grenading the motor/powertrain. James |
Re: More power!
a.) What type of forced induction do you prefer in this case?
I've always liked turbos. In the RX-8's case, I'll vote for single turbo kit. No particular reason. It'll be interesting to see what kind of development occurs after the RX-8's release. b.) What kind of output levels would you seek? Definitely enough to match or surpass the output of my current RX-7. Provided I have enough money when that time comes, I estimate at least 300rwhp would be a good goal for starters. ~Edgar 1993 RX-7 Base, Silverstone Metallic, "Reina" -Atkins Rotary Street-Ported 13B w/3mm Apex Seals -A'PEXi Power FC -Greddy Boost Gauge -Greddy BOV -Greddy Intake Elbow -Koyo Radiator -M2 Cold Intake Box -M2 Medium Intercooler -M2 Downpipe -Mazdaspeed Front Strut Bar -Mazdaspeed SS Exhaust |
