It was rated 250 bhp at the crank and 210 tq.

 

yeah def.. two turbos are way more torquey than one. and more power at low rpm.. best would be to upgrade the turbos on the twin turbo set up and rolling big : )

 

wtf ...

This could possibly the dumbest ancient thread bump yet.

 

The noob had to search to find the old thread.

This is true.

I am eating pasta with zucchini sauce for lunch... Can i swap the pasta for a steak?

 

maybe i shouldn't be bringing this back upbut....
for the record, the FD twins make 350rwhp pretty often. which is far from stock~250. And theres logs showing 17 psi from the primary turbo by 1500 rpm. is there any turbo kit for the rx-8 that can say that? show me.

while i agree they are alot of trouble to get working right, and lack efficiency of newer turbos. theres alot of hate on turbos that can be made to spool at 1500 rpm and peak around 400rwhp, on the right setup.

 

this subject has already been beat to death in the proper forum area, let's not reinvent the dead horse wheel here please

 

I feel like contributing even though it doesn't matter. You wouldn't be able to just bolt on the FD turbos due to the manifold design. Its designed for the traditional rotary peripheral exhaust ports, not the side exhaust ports of the renesis. you would need a custom manifold and some way of figuring out how to piece it all together. Your best bet if you want similar responsiveness would be a smallish (for rotaries) GT30 series turbo.

 

Thanks for input, we were all wondering if this could be done.

 

the only thing worse than a n00b is a punkn00b .... sigh
