will a AT rx8 handle a esmirel bot on kit??
 

alight im thinkin of goin FI but i want some power.. and i hear greddy bot on is hard to get it from.. so what about esmirel.. i see they are sayin that you can get alot of power from there kit but i dont know if its able to get it with a AT. or is it too much.. my car is all flashy but i want it to go fast as well.. so let me know what your input is on this subject.. anything would help.

most people with ATs that want power go with Pettit Superchargers....i would agree...

the problem with Esmeril and AT's is that there is not engine management for them yet.

greddy + AP + good tuning should get you good numbers :dunno:

The esmeril is a bad choice for an AT imo anyways. The esmeril kit won't give you much low end power....that kit is nothing more than a bling/dyno queen kit. The GReddy kit will give you a quick spool and the low end power we all need and desire whether manual or AT. Plus there are some nice upgrade options for the GReddy turbo thru BNR or Fluid Motorsports, which the latter I have.

Of course I don't have an AT so I could be talking out of my ass. :)

im lookin in the market to buy a stand alone. and i also contatced Esmeril to see if they have any reconmendations.. as far as a suitable one for there kit. so othere than that.. what esle would you think would be a problem with it.. cuz all in all it looks like a good kit to go with. its upgradable and already comes with a upgraded fuel pump and ports

im lookin at them as well.. just ive never really heard of superchargers giving too much.. but im just lookin for that golden 300 whp. like most are... just im also lookin at the money. thats alot of bills for what they offer.

^ good luck with that. 300whp on a auto will def. be hard

yeah, you're going to need a conversion to manual for 300 whp. So make sure you budget for that.

Ae you a 4port or 6port?

^^^ a 4 port

We took an Int-X off of a 6 port engine and used it on the 4 port for a custom supercharged application. Works great. One of the connectors on the Int-X doesn't go into 4 port PCM, but that connector is what allows the Int-X to control auxiliary functions on the 6 port. Just don't worry about that connector, and the Int-X gives good enough control of the injectors, and ignition to achieve reliable results.

^^^ What Red Devil said.
It's not "if the AT can handle a Turbo or Supercharger" it's more alonge the lines of can it handle the tune?

I think the answer to that is an easy yes, provided you have adequate fueling and ignition capabilities to match the extra volumes going into the engine.

It's just that MAP isn't as graceful as MAF tuning...but MAP architecture is time tested and reliable. Most important issue is the same as always, finding someone that is capable of tuning whatever setup you have. Sadly, this is more of an issue than one would think.

It can be done, trust me. Tune my friend.
