Power Enterprises Supercharger at SEMA
Sorry, no pics. New Supercharger kit for RX-8 shown at SEMA Show. Claim 260ps at the wheels at 4.5 psi on 100 octane fuel. Runs on stock ECU and stock injectors. Apparently the Presdient of Power Enterprises tuned the computer for the 787B, so supposedly they know what they are doing.

Forgive my ignorance, but why would you run 4.5 PSI and use 100 octane? It seems to me they should try to make power on gas that is readily available. Good to hear there are more options coming to light though.

I would be surprised if it was that cheap. Their kit for the 350Z, while very nice is like $7500 (while everybody else is like $5000-$6000). Would be nice to have more options. But you are right what is with 4.5 psi w/ 100 octane fuel ?

High 3000$s seems reasonable if no ecu upgrade is needed. We have 98 RON in Europe, so power figures should stay close to 260 ps at the wheels... the car should be a total blast!!!

higher octane doesnt give you more power so forget the octane. probably you will need to use the highest octane normally available in your area to prevent timing retard from knock. thats all that means.

I think the 100 octane fuel is just for safety margin. Remember, they are using stock ECU, which means they could have no control over the tuning. Putting a safer octane is just smart when you're dealing with no tuning control over a boosted engine. The way the ECU dumps uber amounts of fuel at the top end, I can understand why 4.5 psi doesn't require an ECU tuner.
