I laughed after reading your post
good one

 

Just a suction kit. HKS says they have no plan as of yet to make a turbo kit.

This is from the head Salesman and one of the mechs I know.

 

Who says 6psi wont kick you in the pants? Look at the compression ratio for the renesis rotors. They only need 6 psi to safely take you to another level in the 8..

spectators/speculators...

 

thank you jt
good to see you back on the site

 

Yeah thanks man..

I was in Cali for Sevenstock, so I didnt have too much time to stop by, but im back hehe

 

Maybe the ad said "Tornado" Air filter so he thought turbo?? lol

 

I agree. Props for the maginfication. I remeber reading that same pargraph out of the leaflet at the dealership about HKS, and the turbo kit. I also remeber reading something about a supercharger. HKS-USA reps are saying that they either don't know or nothing is planed. We'll see what will come to pass.

Check your PMs, SSR Enginering.

 

If you owned an rx7 then you know who pettit racing is. If you're new to the rotary club......Pettit racing is one of the best rx7 performance shops in the country. The're notoriously expensive, but everyone would agree that if they had the money, the'd take their car to pettit. Anyways, my friend was down there this weekend, and told them that I sold my FD for an rx8, and that if they had anything in the works I would be interested in being a guinnea pig. Their reply was that the're working on a supercharger, and to check back in a month. I'll head over there this week to confirm, and to get any details I can. Just thought y'all would like to know.

 

thats interesting......i hadnt thought of s/c the 8 though......but its somthing to think about
now boost on the other hand ;-)

keep up posted!!

I'm very curious. Personal experience would say to use a ProCharger. They make THE BEST superchargers I've ever used. Everything is self contained, cheap and easy to install. Installation will be different since this will be a custom application. Still I've had no problems with ProCharger ever. I'd love to see this under the hood. There's plenty of room for plumbing and mounting. I bet it looks very trick when it's complete.

 

I am going to but an RX-8 in about 6 months and I want to buy a turbo kit. I don't know much about them for a rotary engine so any advice would be great.

Thanks

 

my source in Mazdaspeed whom used to work for Garrett (manufacturer of turbochargers) as a head engineer... says the RENESIS can take only minimal boost pressures - 5-6 psi. Most likely the turbo kits will be developed for race purposes, custom purposes, and/or testing/prototyping.

 

I figured the engine might hae trouble with the turbos but thanks.

 

really just a matter of time
there is about 4 companies working on turbos now and more is to be released soon

 

I own a rx8 and i want to put a turbo but dont now anything about them for the rotary motors nor do i know where to find them can any one help me? also do you of any good sites besides www.acostamotorsports.com for parts(performance)?

 

The RX-8 is too new for the aftermarket to release any type of Turbo kit for it (unless you want to go custom). Besides that, I suggest you read some more about Turbochargers, and the RX-8's engine in general so you know what you will be doing to your car. The motor on your car was not meant to be turbocharged with its high compression, and with its new design its taking the aftermarket alittle longer to come up with something. Lastly, the search button is your friend , use it to find more information on what you want to know.

 

yea trust have one allready dont they?
a td06 i think, td06's are pretty good turbos very quick spooling, id like to see the dyno numbers once they are released

We are working on a turbo kit and it will be done within the next week or so

 

greddy already has a kit out in japan already...mazda r&d will be releasing the supercharger kit by early next year or so...
