supercharger vs turbo
 

whats the difference between these two price, power, sound, etc.?

-the current turbos (greddy) promise a 60hp increase, what would that mean with our 8's 0-60, 1/4 mile times?

And by the way i heard a rumor about a twinturbo, is it true?

60whp would give the RX-8 about 240-250 at the wheels. Given the car weight and a good driver that should equate to 1/4 mile times of 13.3-13.5

supercharger will cost a bit more. turbo will produce more power. supercharger gives constant power, turbos need to spool up.

Given that our rx-8 need revs to create power, I personal prefer the turbo route.

superchargers are a little more reliable...(most of the time)

dang talk about the thousandth thread on this subject:p

Echo?? Echo???.... Man, I swear that guy Echo is running around here somewhere :p

yes i've been trying to run him over..but he is fast and i cna' tkeep chasing him in my 8...dang horrible gas mileage. lol

Lol.. 5,000,000 points if you hit him, but don't run over his shoes ;)

Not sure why there would be a twin turbo option. People are already worried about this engines durability with a single turbo setup. Usually the reason you have a twin turbo setup is that one turbo can not supply as much power as the engine can take. The other is a faster spool up from smaller twin turbos (but you trade off high end power), but with this engine's 60 hp limitation the only thing a twin turbo setup would do is add price & complexity.

and weight

so what about the 0-60?

dunno.. I'll let you know once I put my Greddy kit on this week :)
