run exhaust from each rotor to it's own turbo ... then you can have a nice biturbo setup. Then you can tune each rotor independant of the other, and have DoD like rotarygod was talking about ...
mmm, one can dream ...

That formula is based on a piston engine and it's usually weaker stock internals in NA form. It was notrhing to do with the compression. The rotors (be it high or low compression) have virtually the same strengths. The key ingrediant with FI on a high compression rotary is tuning. I know a 13b with 9:7 NA rotors that makes nearly 600whp. Personally if I was going to run 12psi on the high compression Renesis, I would most definetly install a water injection system to kick in above 7psi.

Not bad... Or did you mean Bad A$$... I would love for my 8 to run 12's. That would definately shut up a lot of the little 17 yr. old punks in there camaro's and the mustangs that continuosly rev there engines at me at every frickin red light. No offence to the younger generation in this forum.

I know the answer, because I made a camero ss look stupid on a banked freeway overpass. My Rx8 @ 106 holding the turn clean and his SS having to slow down at 85 or so because he was leaning and loosing it... hrmmmm
mmm turbo, I cannot wait!

Ok....
Now I am ... conflicted.
Just installed my CZ Stage One with the M flash in place. Liked the performance improvement based on tests on a lonely stretch of Interstate. Pulled a 6.2 0-60... as best as we could figure but nothing conclusive. Just felt a lot faster.
NOW.... you guys tell me there is a turbo alternative. Damn.
Maybe I will move the CZ to my wife's car when this system is ready for prime time. :D

At the moment there is no turbo alternative and i think the drive in a turbop Rx8 is aload of BS. Don't waste our time with BS stories if you cannot prove the gains.
I think i speak for every maz 8 owner who want results not fantasies

I mean hell how could thy be going for dyno numbers wiht no turbo gimmee a break. Just becuz you havent riddin in onw doesnt mean no one else has either. and you cant prove he hasnt. and the way I see it is, is the burden of proof is on the prosecustion.(You) I rest my case

The fact is that I have a lot of things going on right now, and I dont have the 3+ hours to go get some pics, then the time to develope them and post them, just cause your impatient. MAYBE after my sister leaves town I'll have a chance to go over and get more stuff. But if I dont, then tough noogies. Look at my posting history if you think I'm full of BS.
You sir, earn my Idiot of the hour award. Think about that next time you call me a liar.

I for one, would have to say that I believe Genom, Because he likes beer. Seriously though, he has no involvment in the company doing the turbo (That I know of) except that he lives in the area.
He went out of his way to say that he would get pics, his personal life does not allow it. Good for him, too bad for you people who EXPECT him to do it. He doesn't have to. If it were me I would not do it just out of spite. Of course I happen to be lazy, so that helps too.
Back to the point, Genom seems to be a stand up guy. I belive you.
(now will you pay for my turbo kit too?
)
