Thanks.. im gonna look into it.. cause i wanna turbo the 8.. just gotta find the right one.. and some1 to do put it in

 

i wonder what would be different for scotts kits

 

^ I wonder what you're asking.

 

i found the one i like for 7g's.. now the thing is.. do u think there is any 1 good on the east coast that can put it in?

 

damn thats expensive...good luck with the turbo!

 

There are only about 3 different kinds. All variants of Greddy's kit. I've seen videos of mysql101's setup. All I gotta say is, NICE! I've already started a piggy bank.

 

Is this the freaking Twilight Zone?
What the hell is going on around here?
Did someone leave the door open?

 

sorry i ment to say i wonder what would have to be changed/adapted to use his kits on an A/T

i know there is the tuning part but i dont know if there is any more mechanical differences other than the 4 vs 6 ports.

 

I know a good shop that I can put it in for you on Staten ISland. what part of jersey are you in?

 

do do do do, do do do do

 

The real question is: "Who makes a turbo kit for an automatic RX-8?"

 

The real question is: Can the automatic transmission handle 400 hp?

 

The difference between Scott's Kit for AT is mostly in the ECU he uses. The interceptorX is capable of handling both the MT and the AT. The current Greddy system comes with the Emanage that is only pretuned for MT. The interceptorX can be manually tuned, not just a slap on there and go system. Also, I think he puts different injectors on the car (dont remember if thats an option or part of kit).

 

But of course.... Turbo's ROCK!!! Go Scott!!!!

 

rotary engines are well suited for turbochargers. Just look at how much air they push through the exhaust. While the install is more involved than a SC, the system is less complex.

Superchargers are good if you want to make less power on the car and no ability to change your level of power at the push of a button, while making the system more complex.

The advantage of a SC is power down low, but most of us are getting FULL boost at 2500 rpm, so I do not see any advantage.

 

So you dont think an At 8 can take the power of a turbo??? Im in bergen county new jersey.. i got no prob gettin to the island!!!

 

No, I don't think it can.

 

As in what part can't take the Turbo?

 

The driver.

 

Oh OK LOL. I was gonna have to make some snide comment about AT bashing.

LMAO

 

rofl!

paddle shift, ACTIVATE!

 

I think the AT is a great candidate for a turbo.
You ready to try, Erick?

 

I was born ready !!! I was going to ask you about an ECU (piggy back) that would work on the AT. Just to maybe get the little lag I have been getting around 6000rpm's out and a bit more smooth in the power curve.
