Happened to see an OPTION CD where the BOSS of FUJITA ENGINEERING was interviewed.
My own translation "If u really must modify the RX-8, then i think d better choice would be NOS" as he was saying that, he walked over to one of his racks and pointed at a Blue bottle :D
He also said that there will be too much problems with o/heating in the 8 with turbo let alone TWIN.
Has anyone gave the 8 any shots yet?

according to a friend of a friend who is a mazda rep. / sales person
she quotes mazda saying
"next year the rx8 will see around a 60hp boost power using a turbo."
She also said the rx7 is going to come out with 300hp w/ a turbo having a shorter chassi than the rx8 and a very different look than the rx8. In 2006.

I was wondering when the new RX8 Turbo kit will be available and how much it may run price wise. Year(s) or sooner.
Thanks,
William Hall
Thanks for your interest in GReddy Products
Trust does offer a turbo kit for the Japanese spec model, but currently we do not have an application that will work with the USA spec RX8. We are still unsure if we will make one available for the USA spec car yet, but we are working on it now.

Holy back from the dead thread, Batman! :D Good for you for using the search feature, or at least reading older threads. Lots of info to be had that way.
Problem is, US-spec ECUs are a lot different. You can be sure they really are working on it though, and I'd guess we'll see this kit (plus a bunch of others) hitting toward the end of this year - probably "just in time for the holidays."
(Um, honey, can I have a turbo kit for Christmas?
)

The Supercharger that Sunflower Mazda is working on sounds like it will be nice, if they can make the numbers they expect too. 100-120hp with 5-7 lbs of boost. They should have some dyno numbers soon hopefully next month or 2.
