Sorry for asking so many questions, this is so exciting! :D

What are you planning to do with the renesis you pulled out?

 

good work man injoy your ride .don't worry what anybody say is your live your money your car . it looks good all the way around.

 

The Renesis engine is for sale, if anyone wants, it, and the I have a spare 6 speed also, PM me IF YOU are a seriou buyer

P.S. Trust me!!! i plan on injoying every single drop of it,

 

From what I've read on the tranny, it should be very breakable with a 20BT in front of it. Perhaps if you break it while dyno tuning, we'll have a very good idea of what power levels it'll cope with before grenading?

Awesome project...

 

I'll Post up any info. That i feel will help all the rx-8 owners. Who are planning to turbo there car.

 

Any Rx-8 owner who are near Acosta Racing, is more than welcome to come in, and see the project,,,,( BUT NO PICTURES OF THE OTHER PROJECTS IN THE SHOP) pm me, anyone that's intrested

 

i knew that have seen the garage and the red rx7 before . he does excellent work .did he repair the mx3 racing car .:D

 

No he has a new Pro Import pro stock truck ( Mazda ) with a twin turbo 3 rotor. He made real good power with it.

 

ok guys,,here are early pic, of the turbo install. tell me what you think

 

.

 

Looking good, but I'll believe once its running. I wonder how the electronics are going to work out.

 

looks great Acosta... so what spec T04 is that?? the polishing is really nice.

one question: why the stock intake manifold??

 

The Electronics is already done. That was actually the first thing they did.

The turbo is a T78 Dual Ballbearing turbo, By Innovative turbo System. It is a Q-trim wheel, with an A/R of 1.32

 

The reason we wanted to use the 3 Rotor intake Manifold, is because i want the car to look like that engine actually came with the car ( hehe) remember this is goin to be a show car/ race car. for the street.

 

That engine bay is friggin huge! What exhaust are you running out of it? I'm curious what a stock-like setup would sound like with the 20B exhaust pulses.

 

well we are goin to run two muffer to keep it dual. it muffer would be 2 1/2 and is goin to split for a Y from the down pipe. the down pipe will be 5" And we will be using Magnaflow muffer all stainless steal. We are very very excite about this project

 

Gawd, 5 inch downpipe. That thing is going to be monstrous.

 

...the exducer on the t-78's hot side is 5"???

 

The turbo we are using, comes with the Exhaust Housing 5". Remember guys the 20b engine creates alot of heat. So we need to bring the heat out as soon as possible. If not we'll have back-pressure. With Back pressure i'll be cracking the manifold, and the motor will suffer.

 

...wow, i didn't know that. huge ***... but understandable for 800hp through a singlet.

 

What did you have to do to get the 20b engine to mount in the RX8?

 

Alot of work and alot of wiring, we made everything harder cause we kept the hole suspension stock. So that way i wont get no bumpstear or nothing. Because we did it this way, we had to custom make new mounts, oil pan, and couple more parts. You will have to call up the shop, for more info, speack to them

 

Any one here from the east cost would like to come to the shop and check out the project, you are welcome too. I know alot of people wont believe till they see.

 

I would go see your 8 if I wasn't 3000 miles away. Will that 8 ever be in ca for car shows

 

We will be at the SEMA Show In vegas, NV
