Ok guys, this is the question. I have had my 06 RX8 since april, and its the first car I have had that is actually worth upgrading. I would like to know some good performance mods to throw on it. I have heard alot about turbos being bad for rotary engines, as well as supper chargers, etc. My car is governed, it is a 6 speed manumatic, and I cant get it past a 128 in 5th at 3 grand. Help me, I want nothing more than to play.

 

read the major horsepower upgrade section of this board. Your question.. well, it wasn't even really a question, shows that you havent done any real reading on the subject.

And I really hope you mean you can't get past 128 while on a track, cause if you're doing 128 street racing then I hope you die a horribly painful death.

 

+1 on the SEARCH and street racing harrible death.

All your information is in the Aftermarket Performance Modifications Forum and sub-forums.

 

Obviously you have not done any research what so ever so forget about turbos. You got a long way to go before you even think of Forced Induction.

start small since you have no experience in Modding. Intake or exhaust. Little steps before you take a huge leap in FI.

 

 

1st get an Ebay chip

 

Manumatic = ??

 

First (and likely the best) upgrade is to spend the $50 on an autocross (or $200ish on a HPDE). Have an instructor ride along as well. Suddenly your car will be plenty fast.

 

+1, will add 200 hp for 30 dollars

 

I would say intake/exhust first and idk who told u about turbo's for a rotary but there are tons of ppl on here that are running turbo and pushing over 300hp to the wheels

 

PM DaRotary, he has a turboed 8.......

 

Ask him about the bigbumpspring tool as well, precautionary measure

 

im guessing he's saying automatic and calling it manumatic because he can still "shift"

 

NO, NO, NO!!! Dont get an Ebay chip- very funny guys! Listen dude your a total newb, and your not going to get many good responses buy starting a new thred. Your going to get FLAMED! The best thing for you to do is READ, take a hour each night and read the threds, any question that you want to ask- Dont! UNTIL you cant find the answer. Im sure you can figure this out. Dont expect to be spoon fed any information by asking broad questions. OH and one more thing you get what you pay for, as for ebay- avoid it at all costs. (Info for Newbs)

 

lmfao at the guy with 3 posts calling the guy with 1 post a newb

 

Okay, we arent flaming him for asking a question, even though it was a question that could be answered by reading a billion other threads over the same topic; we are flaming him for asking about doing 128 mph on the street .

What's so bad about ebay? Aside from the ebay chip, which I have tried (lol), Ive bought nice stuff off of ebay.

I bought my springs, and eyelids off of ebay stores.

 

Note to self: Dont ask questions when you're new. You might get flamed!! Use the search option.

I dont plan on getting my rx8 until after winter. Might as well keep my commander until then. I have 6 months to troll this board before I make my purchase. I spend a couple of hours a week just reading threads.

 

im pretty sure places in oregan, idaho and montana do not have speed limits. he could go 150mph.

anyway, get a cobb accessport. it will remove the governor.

 

^it isn't that desolate out here but there is room to go over 128

 

1. walk outside your house and yell omg dinosaur
2. save up $8,000 and go to florida
3. walk into pettit racing, and hand over $$$$$$$
4. eat maybe even sleep
5.enjoy your fat *** supercharged 8 with like 60 more horses and 5 handfuls of torque

 

Yeah, Newb dosent refer to how many posts you've made. Thats just stupid! Iv been using forums for years and I know how they work. You should think before you type. Ironicly, its on you now

 

Likewise, you should learn how to spell correctly first

 

trade for an MT....

 

best answer yet.

 

does any one else but me see TROLL written all over this????!?!??
