Supercharged RX-8?
The Mazdaspeed RX8 is going to be supercharged. Most probably get them for their mid range power increase and torque increase.

If no one definitively knows on this site, why would someone on LS2.com...I'm just now remembering all the rotary wisdom that poured from that fountain of knowledge before...

I was asking about the turbo theory there...and someone was saying how they work....on a "V" shaped engine...so i asked about how they effected rotary etc and then i asked how a supercharged worked on rotary cuz i have never heard of a charged 8
and its just a couple of ignorant people there...and they were the ones who lurked the galleries and the "bar-n-grill" the technical part of the forums are actually really good and a lot of people like the 8 for what it is and they all love the interior...and so do i

There probably are many very mechanically inclined members on that forum. I was just recalling what you posted before from some of their members, like the "rotary is a rotary is a rotary" comment. Just a lot of misconception out there about these engines.

I guess everybody knows about Hymee's supercharger project.
I've never heard of Mazdaspeed going supercharged. Could be though, I'm not an authority on the topic.

What I read last was that THAT *speed* model never got an official nod from Mazda and does not meet emission standards... then again.. there are lots of rumours and mazda refuses to deny any or accept any...
Time will tell... for now.. all RUMOURS!
Car and Driver can only give so much information...

at first.. mazda hyped up the car so much that the expections were super high and the lack of torque and and power worked against it... ppl starting comparing the car's power without thinking abt the what the car is reallyabout..
now.. they are refusing to give out information... letting the hype build on its own.. just hope mazda can live up to the super hype this time...
i have been waiting for an official speed model.. but thats it.. cant wait anymore.. gonna get the stock and see where the road of life takes me n my 8...
