SEARCH,READ,SEARCH SOME MORE, READ SOME MORE, SEARCH SOME MORE, AND THEN SELL YOUR RX8.

The wallbashing indicated by the above post is a fair approximation of one of the steps of doing a turbo installation.

Yes the RX-7 stock turbo was a paragon of durability and bullet-proof reliability.

Go for it.

Ask here for more advice as you get to where the exhaust ports are in a different place, we will have answers.

9k is just playing. You can use any turbo from any car or truck on the rx8.

I smell Deja vu in this thread ....

+1 ^ I thought this was the same thread as yesterday. Jeesh, this is getting crazy with all these ridiculous questions. Man, makes me worried about whats going to happen to my insurance rates in the next year or so, all these people getting RX-8s cant be good our costs. :lol:

its obviously possible to put a rx7 turbo in a rx8 that has a rx7 engine in it, tongue twister.

Brace yourselves for these sort of threads.

Many RX-8s are moving on to their 3rd and 4th owners and are worth only $4k - $9k, which means lots of young and potentially stupid new owners.

I have been debating posting a "turbo my 8" comparison in this thread, but the next one I sure will. One of them, I admit, is based on you MM :lol:


(it's in B@W)

another round of harsh post replies.

I say do it :ugh2:

Fixed.

I was attempting to be fair.

I looked at that and amended it for you.

:tear: They wont research far enough to figure out they have to check the oil, or change it for that matter, then we will have lots of "My RX-8 needs a new engine"

mmm yes, very, very "possiable".

you would just need to replace the exhaust manifold, downpipe, downpipe adapter, intercooler bracket, probably the intercooler itself, all oil hosing(you don't reuse that sort of thing..), most of the vacuum hosing, all compression pipes, all suction pipes, then of course you would most likely need to by a new turbo.

There are a few companies out there that do this sort of conversion, Greddy, Turblown and Esmeril are a few of them

hammering him for not searching is fair game
