DX RX 8, you are insane. But in a good way. I can't imagine what the dyno numbers would be like.

Good luck! That e-shaft reminds me of of a v-16 crank.

what are you doing about a tranny , from what I remember reading Anjeljoelv went through a few (not sure if they were brand new tho) with a turbo 20b and you are going to have a bit more power than his?

Perhaps its time for a new thread without all of the ZOMG N00B stuff for 5 pages?

I must admit, I was skeptical. Good to see someone actually take a step in this direction!

Good luck!

Damn right.

That's a lot of radiator to fit under the hood of an RX-8, especially considering you have four rotors under there.


You'll be using a dry sump than? I wonder if the mazda 13B sump supplies enough oil....custom much?

You can PM him on here "Charles R. Hill" is his forum name (I think Black Halo Racing has a vendor section too now). He might have some tips on transmissions too, I think he was working on a project for that.

Falken - good point about space. If this is for show and drag, then maybe you can use the trunk space for radiators and some a/w intercoolers?
