Hello Rx8, I Got 2 Customer That Want To Turbo Their Rx8, We Done The New 350, But I Can Find Any Company That Has A Turbo Kit For The Rx8,

We Did Installed The Famauos Clifford Alarm With A Remote Star( Yes Remote Star) A Custom Box On The Back Of The Truck
) It Is Was Fun Because We Had To Build The Box Inside The Truck, It Came So Great That One Of The Owner Tip Us 200 Dollars
Well Thanks For Your Time

That's a good website. I'm assuming it's a new site because it doesn't seem finished.. either that, or my computer sucks

Re: Turbo For Rx8

i wouldn't recomend a turbo for the rx-8, the rotor compression ratio is too high, and the seals are a bit weak... the life of the engine will decrease dramatically.

That turbo is a bad idea, that's what gave the rotary such a bad name with the 3rd gen. even though a single turbo is more reliable than the crazy twin turbo set up that the 3rd gens had, the compression ratio is still too high, and I don't think the engine will be able to handle the heat.
