Why do all the cars which have a turbo have a red line which is below 6500rpm?

But dont forget I want to put in a Mazdaspeed flywheel, and if you go to the mazda web site it says the warranty wont be void.

The redline for the RSX is now 8300rpm, 8900rpm for the old s2000, my point is what happens when I drive my RX8 which a turbo and start switching gears at 8600rpm for example?? it wont take it...
The TT rx7 had 255Hp @6500rpm

But the renesis is a new rotary engine. I don't see how you could possibly know what it can take...and why you're comparing it to an RSX engine is beyond me.

That kit is no longer offered because of a computer problem. Mikefrombarrie I know that dmp sounds like a pain in the ***, I was corrected by him on a tire pressure comment, but the guy has very valid points,and is pretty up on his stuff. I win alot of stop light races against "faster"cars because I'm good with the 6 speed. If you can only muster a 15 flat with your car stock, you are going to need big horse power gains to get to 13.9. Run it stock first,then do your mods.

I'm just stating that there are no turbo cars that have such a redline like the rx8
Theres no warranty that the engine can handle a turbo, Mazda will void your warranty and greddy doesnt give one. So my point is, common sense says dont install a turbo or you will have problems

also the thing about voiding the warranty, if the Turbo was trouble free then Mazda would allow it.

I think it means 'it's not CARB certified.' Lots of parts that aren't carb certified will still pass sniffer tests
Aftermarket parts void warranties only on the parts of the car they affect. It's business sense for Mazda, because they don't want some yokel dumping 50psi of boost thru a rotary, then claiming THEY caused the defect.

...because there are no other Rotary - engine cars in production. Nothing to do with turbo or not.

Turbos don't equal problems,bad driving and maintenance cause problems. And I asure you if you do anything to your car and you have a problem the dealershipwill try to blame the problem on what you did...Including flywheel intake exhaust etc.
wow...I can't believe I didn't come up with the 911T...geesh...PERFECT Example of Super-Car + Turbos... :D

How good can you drive? Have you ever run a 1/4 mile at the track? Your car feels alot faster than it REALLY is? Did you run it stock? If you have never run a 1/4 mile I'd guess with your mods 14.4 at best.

You won't know until you stop forums-drag-racing and actually get to the track, right?:D
