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 ...

 

I thought this engine had 3 tubes going to 1 exhaust to begin with? Or was it the intake?

 

you sure about that exhaust there shawnio? i've never run any exhaust into a turbo before...i think you got it confused there buddy...:D

 

whatever happened to the formula: high factory compression+high psi forced induction+factory seals=damage. Is that wrong?

 

It's an RX-8 now. Your formula applied to the RX-7.

 

So who is this turbo by and what are the numbers? Is this legit?

 

Boom?

 

im sure we will see twin turbo rx-8s 13b and 20b swaps hahahaha

 

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.

 

With a 100hp increase, say 280 RWHP she should at least be in the 12.5-12.8 range... Not bad...

 

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 hear ya.. The twisties are a blast in this car.

 

What shop did the work?

 

Did anyone ever get any pics?

 

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

 

Riiiigth Kimba2
so we DIDNT see the ssr turbo 8 or the sunflower supercharged 8. those where......ummmm........not really real. Just becuz the are not being produced yet doest mean they arent out there. 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.

 

Come on Genom, cetainly someone with 14 posts should be given as much credibility as you, with only a mere 1400+

 

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? )

 

any new info?

 

Left the guy a couple phone messages, but havent heard from him so far.

 

Bottomline, you slap on a turbo on the 8 and this car will be uncatchable. When this kit becomes available please let us know.

 

If Genom says he had a ride in a turbo '8, you can bet your *** he did.
