They put a kit on an RX8 looks pretty ok.



I will have pics later today.

 

So, is this kit made specifically for the RX-8 or will it work with the FD?

 

rx7machine--You sure are busy today. hehe Well the turbo seems to sit in front of the engine by the pics I saw, but im going to try to get some others to clarify, but no of course it wont work on the FD hehe

 

HURRY! get some pics out to us!

 

I'm busy today.. Well, I love nopistons.com I want to see some pics too.

 

I have a question. In the past if you wanted to put a turbo on a n/a rx-7 everyone would laugh at you and tell you the compression was too high to effectivly use a turbo.



As I undestand it the RX-8 has even higher compression. So how is a turbo going to work with it. I would imagine you would have to run minimal boost.



I wonder if enyone has tried putting lower compression rotors in the renesis yet?

 

You cant put lower compression rotors in the rx-8. Well unless you have good tooling to cut out the blow by ring. You are going to have to lower the compression on the stock rotors .

 

Any numbers yet on power gains? Pricing?

 

that's doable, to an extent. it depends on the casting thickness there

i think low compression rotors are STUPID



its very simple high compression low boost



low boost high compression



you get one or the other unless you want high compression and high boost you need C16 all the time



a turbo renesis at 10psi of boost on a T04 should be more power than a regular 13B so around 400hp
