Turbo RX-8?

[G-man422]

Hello,
Is it possible to turbo the new rennessis(sp) engin in the RX-8s? I know you could drop in a 13-b if you wanted, but why do that if the rx-8 motor is newer?

check out greddy website. they have a kit but the numbers aren't that impressive for the money. I think a couple custom tuner shops have made kits too with little hp gain. The track times suck ass too

I heard these cars are great at the race track not drag strip. They're pretty good for cruising. They just cost to much for little performance. I rather have and EVO 9

You guys dont know too much about the engine do you? It is a 13B just redesigned. And people have put Turbo's on them already. Most are getting over 300HP with the right tuning.

You're right, not too good on the drag. Most getting between 14.3-14.7 Stock(W/O Turbo)! With Turbos I've seen 13.0 in the 1/4 mile. I have video if anyone doesnt believe. But race tracks are a totally different story. They rip ass on the track. Plenty of video of proof if any one wants to see.
