quick question on turbo
 

i heard a little way back that thay were constructing a stage1 turbo. i heard it went through and is out on the market somewere now working on a stage2. can someone please clarify or correct my info. i thank you

First of all, who is "they" there are a couple of companies devoloping a turbo for the 8. One of the being SSR engineering. I have seen completed pics of there setup, but have not been able to find out purchasing info. I have also read AcostaMotorsports is devoloping one for the 8.

can you not see the SEARCH button up top?

3/4 of the new members don't use the search button. one new member recently admitted he didn't want to waste the time to search, so he just started a new thread.

yeah it gets annoying seeing the same stuff over and over! oh well!

i never saw the "search" button. well when i meen they i meen of what i have heard from friends that have 8's and/or are instrested in the rotary thing. so im guessing stage2 hasnt been brot into the picture yet... but thanks rotormotor. and do you think you can get those setup pics here. i would like to see how it looks. THANK YOU.

There is a stage X rotor conversion kit with a charge displacement Paxton supercharger. The rotary thing takes to it very well. I would expect to see this finished in a few weeks with HP #'s close to that of an F-16. They are testing some proto's of the Stage XX hemisperical intake de-coupler which will modify molecular velocity of oxygen to improve atomization of fuel ingestation. This mod is NOT emmisions legal so don't get too excited. A secret branch of the military has been using this technique on the now defunct Comanche helicopter project. They could have saved alot of money and time by going to the RX-8 club and simply SEARCHING for it.

The wealth of information on this site is the result of countless HOURS of thought and physical labor. It is particularly rude to ask anyone to repeat themselves.

If people not searching is such a damn problem.... why bother to post? If you can't help him out why be asses about it? No on wasted your time until you posted, in which you wasted your time.

2 Minutes FLAT. That's not wasting time. A new thread should have new questions or information. Tons of info on the status of turbos for RX-8's.

Posting relevent info in a thread is different from starting a new thread asking the same questions that the community has already dealt with. Look around, learn something and if you still have questions that have not been answered - ask.

So was it that hard for you to post those links? No it wasn't... thing about a community is helping it. Not jumping all over every noob. Some don't know about the search feature, or even the right keywords to look for it.

ok

umm.. this is a thread guyz. not a post-it conversation. but thanks 1strx8 that is some stuff. how did you find all that out? im guessing that is were the labor comes into the question...right?

lighten up.
