Hey everybody im new to the rotary world and i just got a 2004 rx-8 if anyone has any tips on how to help me add some horses to my car. Id really appreciate it also i would like to know what 3 rotors on an engine mean. like i said im new to the rotary world

 

Just read all the posts under "major horsepower upgrades"

 

You would like to know what 3 rotors on an engine mean?

 

A 3 Rotor engine means the engine has 3 Rotors unlike your 2 Rotor Renesis. It has a slightly higher displacement, compare it to a piston engine. The higher amount of pistons normally the higher amount of displacement. The 3 rotor engine is a great track engine and a few people have done swaps for it for that very reason.

 

Here's an idea for you .....

 

^ hahah

 

LOL !!!!!!!!

IT has nothing to do with Rotary or whatever. It is the same when it comes to increasing horse power.

but first thing u need to know is SEARCH AND READ THE SITE !

 

I'm still kinda new to the Rotary modification world myself too, so don't sweat it when people give you a hard time on here.
From my 1 1/2 years in the Rotary world I learned tha with this car it doesn't seem to be very easy to add HP. Mainly because Mazda did a great job extracting a lot out of the car to begin with. But you can start with the normal stuff like intake, exhaust, and an Engine management system. It looks like most people get around 25-35 rwhp with those alone. I myself with just a full exhaust and drop in K&N filter gained 18 rwhp. It looks like for you to gain anything more than 35 rwhp you would need a turbo, or supercharger, or nitrous. Have Fun.

 

omg. is that real or photoshop effect?

 

I think it's real but who knows these days

 

that = a pulley!!!!
