OK we get the point the Rx8 is a wounderful handeling car it is sexy as hell now all it needs is more power, lets face it 238hp is not exactly awe inspiring, and does not do the rest of the car justice. The simple anwser is to add another rotor, it should be easier to build than the old three rotors because of the side mounted exaust. That should push the cars power to an amazing 357hp and make it a vette killer easly, just by adding another rotor! It should not add much to the cost because the car already has enough grip to handle the extra power so it won't need larger wheels/tires, maby just a beefed up tranny.. What are your thought on this?

lol are you crazy that thing will be gettting like 10 or less miles to the gallon. the rx8 now are only getting 20mph best and 13mph worst(city driving) shit it worst than the new v8s now. oh yeah your fucking wonderful rx8 is having a massive recall, letters will be sent out to customer starting sep 15. most of them will need pcm reflash and leading spark plug replace . there will be
some needing engine replace. i seen 3 that will be needing engine this past week, unlucky me that i have to put one in next week there will be more to come. fuck a rx8

please tell me you didn't just divide 238 by and multiply that number by 3 to get what a three rotar might make....
oh.... wait.... you did.

my thoughts are that you don't know enough about how cars and engines work, let alone how a rotary works to be making any technical suggestions.
hey!
why don't honda join two of their K20As together on a common crank and have a ferrari worrying 440bhp V8!?!
hang on.... that might be a more valid question than I reckoned....
nevermind, carry on.

being slightly more serious now.
Three rotar engine is more work than is needed if all you want is more power.
A small light pressure turbo can do this much more easily, cheaply and quickly without added the extra weight that an extra rotar would add to the engine externally and internally.

yeah those were the ones that had the least reliability, I would rather keep my reliability if the rx-8 that do that. Also they already have a 3 rotar engine, its the 20b which some people have done, there is also a 4 rotar that was used in the lamans witch is the 22b.

dont mean to say something but the lamans was actually a 26B which is two 2Rotor 13B blocks put together,they never made a 22B i know that for sure

Gotian

your right it was the 26b which was used in the 787

any turbo motor before that wasnt any less "reliable" than your renny

I was referring to the FD's not the FC's I know personally how reliable the FC's were, my step father bought one in 1986 or 87 and had it till 1998. The car had over 200k miles and thats when the exhaust caught on fire. By that time I had a little brother so my step dad bought a ford escort instead of fixing the 7

id definately go with the turbo kit that is now offered, i believe a company is installing a package that includes injectors, cpu's, etc... of coarse id prefer a three rotor turbo, but i dont have 15k to get that! i do know that people are seeing 400 hp with a 13b turbo engine(upgraded turbo, ecu, etc..of coarse.)

my engine builder said the renesis isn't that good with a turbo because you can feel everything kick in (6 ports, turbo) and it's not as smooth as stock.

honestly, if you wanted a fast car you should have gotten a mustang or 350Z, maybe evo/wrx. I liked driving the RX-8, I wish it had some more power, but as it is, it feels just right.

i bet a venom nitrous inj. kit would work well with it. u could set the nitrous to b gas pedal released, pressure sensitive, or just do a big shot at once. im sure the hot engine would luv a breathe of cold air!
