sup all, just testing.
hey, does anyone know if the renesis has turbo or supercharger options.. ?? or how many horses it can pump out when fully souped.. i've been lookin, but no luck

Another thing. i dont see too many bodykit options either, but i'm guessing they'll come later

It is too early still. Their will be plenty, hopefully no stillen style kits please. They might be developing on a prototype now but come on, give them a little time. As far as how much HP, it depends on if it is a daily driver or a track car. If abel ibarra makes 800 whp with his 1.3l It should be very doable with the right amount of $$. Expect about 300 BHP(flywheel) with intake, header, exhaust, ecu. I will be doing those and have a 60-75 shot of nos to take care of pesky v8's. I have a shop that is going to prototype the MS kit when they get a chance.

looking for aftermarket performance enhancing goods for auto tranny.

not that the auto is bad but ugh...... If you want to feel connected to the car, get the manual. City driving doesnt suk in a manual, you just need to get used to the motions. Moral of the story, autos are for grannies....hahaha j/k.

back to the subject.....you should be able to do anything (except anything like clutch, flywheel work) to the auto you can to the manual. Exhaust, intake, body kits, guages. Keep in mind that things like engine management or ecu piggybacks can be made for the auto as well, but the demand is always sooo pour for automatic parts such as this that they may not be made.

When ya pick out the car ask yourself what you want out of it. If you want to go mod crazy, then the manual will have many more mods availible. If you just want to be different and bolt on a few aftermarket parts, then manual or auto shouldnt make a difference, except in fun factor.

The problem you run into is no real high RPM's which is what makes a rotary fun. The torque converter can only hold so many RPM's and then it lets go. Just change your order, look at the FD rx7, the autos are worth 2-4k less in the same condition because nobody wants them.

campbell makes a nice set...

HKS already has a turbo kit for it and Mazdaspeed is currently making a supercharger for it which may make its way over here as the Mazdaspeed version.

Sez who?

I read on Mazdaspeed's website. I'll find it and post it.

Thanks for the info. Good work, Bond... uh, I mean Lancaster. Good work.

Now, let us all sing 'Secret Agent Man'

Hey people on the "top" of the world.

As you lot are getting your cars a good 6 weeks before us I'd be "really" interested in hearing your exploits regarding improving things like:
- intake
- exhaust

and any other changes like fiddling the fuel / air map with an aftermarket chip.

We only get 177kw (was supposed to be 184kw) so I'm super keen to be able to get and stay in front of the everyday Australian family cars (GMH Commodore powered by 5.7 chev).

Anyone in Japan "fiddled" their car yet?

Dyno charts obviously an advantage...

Rotar_Dude

hey everyone i'm supposed to be getting my 8 on monday 8/11 and was ondering what kind of performance mods can be made. Keep in mind that mine is an auto. Is there better exaust excetera.

wakeech

there isn't much yet, as this car is so new.

if you want to know about mods, search through the Tech Section and learn more about your car, and how power is made (if that's the kind of performance you're after).

educate yourself first, then figure out what you want to do.

btw: remember that seldom there is a universally "better" solution, and that comprimise is often the order of the day.

wakeech

Dave, you're going to get yourself in trouble...

Why?

wakeech

advertising isn't allowed, my friend, unless you ante up. get in contact with member BOOSTD7 or member Jason for further details.

david borla

Sorry about that. This is the first of maybe 10 forums that has ever had a problem with my presence. Usually, so long as I don't mention price or a place of purchase it's not considered "advertising". However, I'd be more than happy to advertise with you guys anyway.

david borla

I just sent an email to JASON regarding advertising. Sorry if I offended anyone. This site has different rules than most of the others.

wakeech

:D awesome, thanks a lot Dave. no harm done.

Elara

Thanks Dave,

I tried to send you a pm at first, but you aren't accepting them (hint, hint), and I can't send email from work, so I was stuck just removing your posts until I got home just now. We appreciate your understanding.

I enabled my private messaging. Please let me know about advertising. Thanks.

myrx8

If you find anywhere in the Kansas City area taht has any mods - please notify me. I am looking to make some mods myself.

CMYCI

hi i am not a current owner of a rx-8
i actually havee a BMW 330ci hooked up...if you would like to see pictures let me know but i have about 10k in the car including performance mods

my car is a lease and when its up i am looking at a few cars
RIGHT NOW my choices are rx-8, m3, and r33 skyline gtr.

i not sure if i want the skyline becausee for a daily driver its not practical

the m3 is not completetly a tuners car

i want to get my car in the 12's in the 1/4

i like the styling of the rx-8 and would love to have 1 but as i have scanned there isnt much you can do to it
i want to know if there is or will be a turbo or sc kit coming out with a little more than 5.5 psi i am intrested in seeing close to 400 hp or close to it atleast are there gonna be any turbos or sc kits coming out within the next year or so and i also heard something about a rx-7 coming out also, is this true please inform me about this car it catches my eye alot and i would like to know more about it

mikeb

the rx8 will have tons of mods but its brand new and it will take time before sc, turbos, bodykits

If I was you I'd get the skyline

tpryor

Amen, brother. I am a VERY happy RX-8 owner, but would give it up TODAY (okay, maybe tomorrow) for a quality Skyline R34 GT-R (my personal favorite).
