LOL, Well...I feel sorta the same...I'd rather increase performance FIRST...then mess with the 8's looks. Heck...it looks so dang good already!
Something that concerns me right now is that the superchargers/turbo's seem to be getting no more than 50HP out of the Renesis...I know in other cars, while keeping in mind you can't compare...can get up to 100HP from a supercharger/turbo.
Most likely it's because of the normal/low psi...and cause the Renesis is so new.
My plan, cut 100 pounds off the 8, take the Renesis (w/o SC/Turbo) to 250HP...then add a SC/Turbo and get it to 300-325HP...do you think I'm realistic?
I can dream can I...

Only 50HP... Well you ca look at it this way. Some Toyota Celica FI kits put 50-100+HP on-top of the stock 180HP.
So with the 8 having 228+HP then add 50HP = 288+HP thats not bad. Or 197HP + 50HP = 247+HP

If you read the aftermarket forum, you'll find 2 things slowing down FI on the renesis: Compression Ratio and more importantly ECU tuning. Because the ECU is totally encrypted, tuners are having an incredibly hard time getting the tuning right for boost. If they could program the ECU, life would be much simpler but currently, they can't.
I'm still waiting. I want to see what can be done with the stock ports and the ECU tuned properly, then turbo and then openning up those ports. I know 250 is easily achievable on the 6 port just by openning the tertiary ports. This engine holds a lot of potential. It'll be a while before it really gets realized.
