A few that were at SS9 have put the target price at around $4300.

 

Great! Thanks for the update. As of now, my only other "high HP boost" option is a Greddy turbo which is offering a fairly small gain for a pretty high price. On a sidenote, anyone know about getting a third rotor installed for HP gain, or is that just a myth?

 

I know it's blasphemous, but I'm seriosly considering adding a couple of pistons to my rx8. 2 rotors and 2 pistons should give me the best of both worlds. You've got to figure out how to cut the pistons out at high rpm's since they won't go to 9k, but you get good low rpm torque.

(sorry I couldn't resist, but i did try.)

 

uh huh...I don't know if that was some sort of sarcastic shot at my post or not but the real important question in my mind is why you didn't answer my question. I was serious about the 3rd rotor deal. I had heard discussions on it a couple years ago in a non-street legal, drag-ready RX-8 using the Renesis w/ a 3rd rotor. Don't know if anyone had tried that, heard anything about it, or possibly had some links to the subject.

 

a 3 rotor is a possiblity. Check out the Major Horsepower section and see some of the work the guys out in Purto Rico are doing. (HUGE rotor heads out there doing GREAT work with 3 rotors)

 

The Renesis engine can be removed completely and replaced with a 20B 3 rotor.
see -->https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-major-horsepower-upgrades-93/3-rotor-rx8-google-page-ranking-78088/
for example.

how exactly would yougo about installing to pistons on a rotary? you would have to rebuild and fabricate the entire engine.. would you not? prolly be cheaper to just..you know.. buy the Sc?

 

I wonder if RP would consider taking deposits on his sc - maybe a few extra $ would hurry it up a bit .
nynex - wrong thread to be talking 3 rotor - start a new one if you really want answers .

 

Not much more work than "adding" a third rotor to a Renesis. Adding pistons was a joke.
--R.

 

no problem at all . I reakon you could jam an electric motor in there as well - that way you would have :
9k red line
low down torque
Environment freindly

wow !!!!!!

 

There is no 3 rotor Renesis.


And this is really getting off topic.

 

yea and i bet my questions will get overlooked
olddragger

 

when i talked to them at seven stock they said it was going to be around 240 to the wheels. i have no doubt in my mind that after this kit will out preform the greddy in every category.

 

4 things.
1) Thanks Jedi54 for an actual answer AND for letting me know that I WASN'T wrong in the 3 rotor thinking.
2) Red Devil, isn't that exactly what rgonza is doing to the Renesis?
3) Brettus, don't even tell me about off topic or whatever. I spent half a day reading over 150 pages of postings on this thread, MAYBE 50 of which were on the topic. You could even look at the last several posts...not on topic.
4) I won't post on this again unless it's necessary. So no need to get all in a hype about that.

 

Don't overlook these questions, please. I'd hate for them to not get answered on my account.

 

A few pages back RP said 275 . I hope its more than 240 !

true - but I did say "if you really want answers"

 

Don't feel unwelcome just because someone jokes around with you.

I suppose adding an AFSC could be considered installing 4 more rotors, if you can call a turbine stage a rotor.
-R.

 

Perfect, nice to see someone doing things correctly. Is it worth doing RB's oil metering update with the AFSC?

If this gets me to about 275 at the wheels and everything functions like stock then it's probably next years upgrade. I already got approval from the wife as long as I stay under what I spent on wheels/tires ($6k). With the cost of the AFSC, gauges, and some custom paint work on the AFSC I should be right there.

 

Would it be possible to have the "street" and "track" modes of ECU flash switchable?

If this has been answered already, you can delete this post and burn my soul with your hatred

 

Yes, that's his plan for now.

 

olddragger... that sounds yummy!

 

Answers for Olddragger:

1. yes
2. no but i may make that as a seperate part
3. it works
4. The only ones who want that are the Feds
5. stock is OK but if you run the track a better pump would be wise
6. do as you like
7. nice offer, sounds good but I'm stuck on french alcohol
(I like french food and woman but Italian cars and their food too.)
You can get a bad meal in France but not in Italy
That might be why the Italians get fatter.
I was there (Italy) a few years ago for three days and gained 6 lbs. I had to take a side trip on the way home to England to loose it. True story.

 

I combined RP and OD's post so you do not have to flip back and forth to know what the heck he is answering

couple of questions:
1- does your reflash turn the fans on a little earier? If not, can that be done?
1. yes

2- does the strut bar have a master cylinder brace ?
2. no but i may make that as a seperate part

3- does the reflash coordinate with a high flow cat or does it work equally well with the stock cat?
3. it works

4- does it come with an autographed picture of you? with thumbprints?
4. The only ones who want that are the Feds

5- fuel delivery requirements--stock system ok or do you recommend any upgrades?
5. stock is OK but if you run the track a better pump would be wise

6- I assume that running a pre mix would not matter--but may as well ask the expert.
6. do as you like


7- where do I send my $10 down payment or would you rather have a really good gallon of family produced legal Georgia Moonshine ? Charder type, then aged and stained through applecores. Smoothhhhhhh. Make you hug your Momma.
To repeat an earier suggestion--an AFSC badge for the trunk area would be really good. It would also look good when an rx8 so equipped makes Grassroots or Modified Mag.
