Sounds like a cool car, you should be fine with only 6 psi. Gonna port the motor?

sound's pretty bad ass, you might be the only one, but who know's there are alot of "show cars" in Wisconsin too that might have a turbo kit on there car. But as far as Illinois goes. I am certain there are a few. there should be RX-8 Forums out there somewhere. or maybe even the RX-7 forumns would let you in on it.

yeah, i am on the rx8 forums and no one there has a turbo kit and lives in WI
pics are coming soon guys
unfortunatley, i havent dyno'ed or taken it to the track yet cuz its been back in the shop, (i hit gravel coming around a turn, you know the rest)
but from what ive seen on the rx8 forums, my car with this setup has about 250-260whp and runs a 13.6 optimum.

i dont mean to come off as a **** but ,then why would you put a turbo in it?Originally Posted by Pantera99GS

because i like driving a good looking, good hadling, quick car, it's as simple as that. i know im not going to compete with a lot of the other turbos and v8's out there, i'm just making my car what i want it to be.
and thats the whole point of modifying a car. To YOUR liking, not to everyone elses. My 3g eclipse when i had it was quick with the mods that I had but it was also had a body kit, custom paint and a bunch of other things. I loved the car the way it was and that was my choice not anyone elses. Leave the guy alone as to how fast his car is. It seems that most people, im not saying everyone, but the first thing that always say is what you run in the quarter? My wrx isnt going to be setup for the quarter mile, its gonna be an all around setup for autox and maybe some drags. You may be able to beat me in the 1/4 mile, but i will kick your ass in autox. And he is only running 6lbs of boost. That isnt anything compared to some other cars. My wrx is running stock boost which is around 10 to 13 lbs of boost and i can only get a mid to low 14.Originally Posted by rx-8t

I live my life a quarter mile at a time. For those mid 13 seconds or less.... j/k
sounds nice and unique...want to see the pics:
" EVERYBODY HAS A PLAN...UNTIL THEY GET HIT!!!!!!!"
here are some pics, the second is halfway through the turbo install, and the third shows the intercooler hiding behind the front bumper (dont worry, i gets plllllenty of air) i kind of like it there too, it has the whole sneaky pete vibe goin on, and the fourth is the turbo itself, tucked under the area of the passenger's feet (cute little guy ain't it)
from your sig:your not refering to your motor are you? Is the Renesis still called the 13b??? I dont think thats right.13b wankel + boost = cold sweats whenever something seems amiss
Ohh nice car btw
after doing DP, MP, Apex'i N1 catback, ACT Extreme clutch ZX3-XT00, SS Clutch line, PowerFC, Magnecor 10mm wires, and Ported WG I managed to pull off a 13.2 at 108 on junk tires. 2.2 to 2.4 60'
I know 12's were possible, I was trying to learn how to launch a manual for the first time on a clutch that wasnt even broken in.
But I agree, RX7's aren't primarily for dragging.
