Supercharge mention in media thread
I noticed over in the media thread that somone posted info about Mazda making a supercharged version of the RX8:
Here is the post:
Motor Magazine Sept '03
"Rumours about a supercharged Renesis rotary engine for a performance special rx-8 can be confirmed as truth. Hungry for more torque from it's high-spinning rotary, Mazda is tweaking the engine using a small Eaton supercharger, tucked tightly on the engine's right side, and an air-to-air intercooler bridging over the top,to boost power by 30kW and torque by a massive 120N.m.
There's no doubt the RX-8 could use more bottom end urge. More damaging to Mazda egos isn Hiroshima is the blunt fact that Nissan's 350Z comprehensively blows away the rx-8 over 400m"
Now, me again.
If I converted correctly, that would be make the car spec at
287 HP 248 ft lbs. That would be nice.
