what do you think of thomas knight ESC on RX??
 

hello everyone, i was just wondering if anyone know anything about the thomas knight ESC, and how it would work on an RX8

Never heard of it, got any links?

I think it's an electric super-charger or something like that.

methinks you right. methinks M-SPEEDRX-8 has a new project ahead of him! ;) :fingersx:

go too boosthead.com, or here is the link

That is the best electric supercharger out there, but if I remember correctly, it would cost you just as much as a regular turbo (the electric SC is the same style as a centifugal I think). It would take a lot of air to fill up those housings. I wonder if the TK SC would be up to the job?

Seems like it was designed as a universal package for cars that don't have anything better available. Since RX-8's have several boost options on the market, it seems like this is unnecessary for us.

Looking at the site, I didn't see any mention of it fitting the RX-8

Only if there is a way to bypass the intake on the supercharger so we can us the stock intake when not using the supercharger.

BTW you can search "ESC" or "Thomas Knight" and get a huge thread on this subject. We looked at this about 2 years ago.

Im thinking on using a T pipe, on one sed, a CAI, and the other end the ESC, will this be ok?
