A possible new ultimate 400+rwhp Rx-8 turbo?
I heard Garrett is releasing their GTX3576R turbo @ SEMA today.

It is suppose to flow as much as a GT3582R, but a physically smaller compressor wheel & GT30 compressor housing...

So in theory this should spool faster than a GT35R, but be able to make 400+rwhp...

I will have to look into stuffing this into an even smaller compressor housing and use it on the new low mount turbo system we have in the works...

Yes,

We have several in stock. Price is around $2000( with turbine housing) + freight for Rx-8 club members.

I have never been a big fan of top mount setups. I am looking forward to seeing this new set up of yours!

+1, a proper alternative to the Greddy would be interesting.

^Neither have I. I like low mount to keep the engine bay somewhat stealth.
The only thing holding me back from Turblown was that they had top mount. This could get interesting...

I guess if you don't believe that, then you surely won't believe there is a 450rwhp MSP on this forum. Dyno in use doesn't lie either, it was on a partial race gas blend however. Car is even road course raced...

Goodbye.
