I don't think you did any searching, you just got a products list from here:

Quit wasting bandwidth.

that doesn't excuse you for your laziness.
Do you even know what mods you added on your "list"?

The options are endless. Forced induction is a huge undertaking. Learn what it is in the first place before you start thinking of which route to take because it's obvious by your list that you don't understand it.

Less thread starting and more searching and reading.

Most of the items on that list are okay but you should know that you cannot install a Hymee supercharger and a Greddy turbo kit on an RX-8 at the same time.

Like I said, read. Start with the threads in my sig.

make your own decisions on what a good set up is. Different people have different goals.
IMO, I don't think it's a good set up... Others will disagree. See where I'm going with this?

What do you guys think about this setup I came across?

I would love your feedback. This is totally MY setup and MY idea



I have purchased (well paid for most of and awaiting shipping) a Greddy kit. The kit is used but includes new couplers and some other customizations. I have not decided on whether to do the BNR upgrade or just replace the turbo all together with something like the GT3076. Just depends on cost vs benefit I guess. I have some reading to do yet.

I have about 26,000 on my Mazda reman and it is pulling about 15-16 in terms of vacuum. I already have the Cobb AP, an AEM intake to modify and use, BHR fuel pump, BHR ignition, SOHN adapter, Mazmart OP kit, Single Fluidyne oil cooler and oil thermostat.

Due to where my oil cooler is mounted I will have to get creative with the inter-cooler placement. I do have both locations available where the factory oil coolers were so I am thinking a secondary radiator is going to be needed

Ok, this may not be my idea and it may or may not have been copied from the interwebz

You could always get a centrifugal supercharger, that feeds into a turbo :P

It has been done with a r35, 2 rotrex supercharger feeding the twin turbo, yum yum

No gains, other than maybe a smoother idle and quicker throttle response (this has NOTHING to do with noticeable torque, btw).
Now, stop asking redundant questions and start reading. You aren't doing yourself any favors by remaining ignorant to your "list"...

next time the OP may want to request for people to tell him what he wants to hear rather than asking for something as loaded as honest feedback
