Hello,
I am fairly new and I have been looking for a turbo to fit my needs. I am hoping that someone will help me and has more background on rotaries than me. I am a Toyota supra guy if you can't tell, but I also have an rx-8. Here is what I am looking for:

-A good quality setup
-Bolt on install, no need to move or relocate things in the engine bay or minor w/ directions
-No engine upgrades needed
-About 30psi...lol...maybe around 7-8psi, mainly for saving gas, and once in a while to kill a civic
-Detailed instructions
-Price doesn't matter too much...just not out the there with buying a whole new car.
-Fuel injectors...depends on if they increase or decrease gas mileage
-Same for ecu or piggyback computer

I am really not looking for a T-78 or HKS 3240 setup, just a street kit. A blow off valve and wastegate would be nice too. I am would also like to know the hp create and performance of the car + turbo (spooling characteristics). I am also looking for information on the drawbacks for rotary turbo charging and the prolonged effect. I have seen high boosting rotaries with ported engines but that is no the direction for me, because this is my daily driver/luxury car.

Thank you in advance,
Alan

 

hmm the only turbo'd 8's i've seen or have heard a lot of feed back on have teh greddy kit. thee a a few threads abotu them (they are looooooooooooooooooooooong though)...as per reliability..no ones knows a few have had teh greddy on for a few 1000 miles (2k-3k) without any major issues..btu since it jsut came out there are a few minor bugs to work out. there should be more kits out by the end of teh year...turbo and supercharger. PTP has a turbo as does SSR..but i haven't heard of any installs....Richard Paul is making a superchargert..as is HKS i believe.

the greddy is a t4/t3 set up T617z or somethign like that. not sure of the flow characteristics..but it doesn't come with added injectors..has everything you need for an install minus the guages and BOV. has a internal waste gate.

you can check out PTP or peitit or SSR for info on their kits. hoe that helps out a lill' bit.

 

how would you plume a BOV with a wastegate on the turbo

 

uh . . . BOV goes on the intercooler piping . . . . . . . .

 

sorry about that stupid question......too use to using t-78 turbos.......thank for hitting some sense into me though
:D
