Momentum Keeps Me Going
Any website URL info? I searched, couldn't read much on JP site, found no mention of RX-8 or supercharger. No info on US site either. Where did you get pic and info?
Also ILOVERX8, can you repost focused ??? slip, either that or am going (more) blind!
Love to get on info mailing list. Thanks.

Why so little power? We can make that for a lot less money and without forced induction. I hope it makes more than that.
I do not know the exact conversion for torque, but I know that is around 200lbs-ft. Can someone convert this properly?
I would be interested to know the specs. This seems to be tuned on the seriously safe side.

This is the same info I posted 3-4 months ago? Either way I can added to it.
Spring--Is true..
Price---closer to $4k
HP---Not much, still finishing it up COMPLETLY to see what it can do.

I believe the major reason we are never going to see big gains from FI is due to the 10:1 compression ratio which traditionally is too high to be safe for FI. Most of what I have read etc.. suggests a ratio of 8-8.5:1 is much more boost friendly. sorry to disappoint.

The turbo article says max power output of about 265ps over the normal 210ps. 50ps gain in the 6000rpm and 7000rpm range.
This ain't for us guys.... maybe the auto guys if the torque converter can take it. Check out the redline on the graph (where the power falls off)... this is the 210hp base engine in the auto and 5spd in Japan.
Couldn't get anything off the Options scan. I'll see if I can drop by the store tonight and pickup a couple car mags.

This is the information we need now...

Press the "flower" button on you camera.
The best thing about the Blitz kit is that it appears that the low torque increase is phenomenal.
If those curves are accurate there is a 42% increase in power at 4000 RPM going from 70 KW to 100 KW (about 95hp to 134hp) That's a lot more passing power without having to drop to a lower gear.
From other articles I have read that it is clutch driven, that worries me a little because it means one more thing to break down.
Hopefully Canzoomer can work support for an FI system into one of his future stages. Maybe a 50%+ increase over all RPMs. <drool...>
Anyway, thanks for the pics.
