Power!!
Do you already have a shop that is going to design the low compression rotors for you? If not Racing beat might be a good choice to help you with the internals. They have already made balanced and lightened rotors and a higher flow MOP for the renesis. www.racingbeat.com

I have already decided the shop...Rb hasnt made lower compression rotors just lighter rotors i think..
The shop i am working with has made some succesful big projects in Greece.Some of them ported renesis with greddy turbo and tuned and 39kg of torque in dyno,fd engine in rx8,nitrous+greddy turbo in rx8 tuned and many more to come.

The stock clutch is fine with the turbo kits and doesnt have to be upgraded to have a turbo kit on your 8. When you are ready to replace your clutch I would suggest the ACT heavy duty street organic clutch without the flywheel.
That is what Scott recommended for me on my RX8. He says that the flywheel is lighter than most and if you lighten your flywheel with a turbo kit it may be more difficult to drive than most people would want.
I have 54k on my RX8 and that clutch will be in my car shortly.

I would have to disagree with the flywheel thing, yes it takes about a week to get used to it, but after that you don't even think about it. And on top of that it is the best bang for the buck mod you can do, especially if you already have an intake and exhaust.

I was told it was really a matter of how you drive. I have a lead foot and drive aggressively (Scott says LOL), but it depends on what you are looking for.....

You just have to gain alot more clutch control for proper application...learn how to feather the clutch alot more...other than that, once you get past that mentally its no big deal...

LOL, thanks James. The new clutch is in and I am enjoying it so far.
It is like Christmas at the shop. There are Mazsport Turbo kits everywhere....being installed, being shipped out....it is really crazy at the shop.
We are planning on dynoing again but will tell you the results afterwards and not put any pressure on the man behind the curtain.
The wizard is at it again.

Not good?
Who cares look at the performance...your building a race car, not a economical point A to point B family sedan.
if you were looking for economical maybe you should buy a Honda
