16 year olds should be driving Ford escorts, Hyundai, dad's SUV, not a brand new RX-8. I can't believe money from cuttin grass bought you this, in which case you already have shown me you don't appreciate what you have and your lack of maturity sticks out like nun in a satanic cult.

Trade in your 8 for '97 celica and learn to drive first!

 

ZEX....hahahha gay-***-purple-barney-fraud box? Cool.

I'll stick with Nitrous Oxide Systems. They've been in the business long enough to know they are da $hit, so they don't have to give you lean settings to yield you the extra little horsepoewr so they can say they are better. Not saying Comp Cams is the worst, but they do run a slightly leaner jetting. Another famous company, that sponsored 2F2F on the other hand...those bastards aren't worried about blowing your crap, so they can claim to have the strongest kit out, when in reality, they just throw bigger jets in their packages.

 

hey wakeech...do you think a simple 50hp shot will be more sensible for daily driving? and in the long run will it really mess up the seals?

 

It will only ness up the seals if it isn't tuned properly. If you just throw a 50 shot on the engine as it is, you will probably have some big issues. Some very big shots have been used on rotaries before and there is no reason that they shouldn't be made to work on the Renesis but tuning has to be good.

 

The statement that a dry shot should NEVER be used is ridiculous. It totally depends on the application and the amount of the shot. I ran a 100 shot dry NOS system on an LS1 in a '01 camaro. I probably went through 50 problem-free 15lb bottles in the time I had the car. The key is getting it set up properly. On that car unlike some others, you plumb the shot before the MAF far enough upstream so that the N2o would atomize by the time it hit the maf. NOS had the jet size calibrated so that the ECU would respond with the proper amount of fuel when it got a signal from the it(maf). The kit also came with a fuel pressure safety switch and an full-throttle switch. It worked nicely and cost like $500. In my application I put more trust in the factory ecu and the fpss that came with the kit, than worrying about a fuel solenoid failing or getting fuel puddling in the composite intake. As far as the RX-8 is concerned, I really don't know if dry would be smart because there is no fpr, but we'll see if a kit comes out.

 

actually i guess all u people on here dont know as much about a rotary as u thought......dude u can add as much nitrous as ur car can handle...not the engine, u cant possibly blow up a rotarty engine unless u dont put oil in it.....therefore, put whatever amout u want into it.....and let it scream

 

Was that a joke black8?

 

i have an feeling that blackrx8 is killing a little free time on the board because he blew up his 8.

 

My 12 year old son and I both love the fsat and furious movies!! So when I needed more bass in the sound we added this toy..Sounds great and fools lots of folks.. I know..not for RX-8 purists..but ya gotta see their faces...hee hee

 

oosik cut the kid some slack cmon bro...the kid is LUCKY to have an 8 as a first car..hell my first car was a used rx-7 with 25000 miles, and the **** was like a dream for me...i know 16 year old kids whom their parents are buying them m3's. that is an outrage, a 50g car for them to wreck? at least the 8 isnt too pricey as compared to cars like that. but if their parents are buying them eights then great! that means these kids can learn more about their cars and what they can do with them (i dont mean going 110 in a senior citizen community) at an earlier age. Im probably just babbling but this is just my opinion i think its perectly fine for a 16y.o. to have a MAZDA RX-8 as their first car.

 

People can drive what they want. Don't bash him for working his butt off for his car- that's just dumb. I wish *I* had been able to afford something like the 8 when I was his age. As it was, I had to wait 10 years before I saved/made enough money to buy one. Next person that makes a personal attack in this thread gets a warning. If you can't state your opinion politely, don't state it at all.

 

Elara. This forum is for people who want to SAFELY increase the performance of their 8. Im not attacking tit. personally, but he should have read the 1,000 other threads about whether or not to use NO2, plus the other million that mention NO2 as not viable option because of the apex seals. Warn me if you wish, but I would just like to see intelligent people posting, instead of those looking for a quick fix for saturday night.

 

O.K. for all u that wana know how this is possible, a 16/17 yearold kid payen for a 32thou car.... i work at PacSun in a mall.... (obviously not enough). then my 2nd job, well it helps when ur a model... stop this **** about a kid not bein able to work off payments for a damn car!

Can we just focus on the hp idea here!?

Borla exhaust just got ordered for the 8 at my local shop... its just sitten there, duna if i wana put it on cause 1st oil change is comin up soon so not puttin on yet for sure....

just got red neon lights under the dash... i'll post pics soon

 

post pics of yourself with your car, beautiful

 

aight, well im home 2night till about 6 or 7 so, i'll post a thread for the pics of these bomb @$$ neons! I recoment the red Street Glow, they match up with the interior nicely. but i guess it also depends on if you have anthing other than the red/black black/black interior... but it looks good.

Should turbo come before exhaust? or vice versa? i have talked to a few friends about it... and got diff answers, so i figured i'd ask u guys

 

exhaust, first mod i always recommend, the stock system isn't too bad. but still, a Racing Beat, or a Borla would add that nice touch for the car that you want in a first mod.

 

But his intent for wanting the turbo, to me, does not warrant having such a car and go with something more suitable for the age bracket and learning to drive.

Now had his question been more along the lines of the theory of turbo charging and FI, no such remark would have been made from me.

Maturity can speak pages when the book is open. He just got the car, has no real idea what it's like to drive for the amount of years as most ppl and experience traffic related situtations that go along with it, yet his only real intent at the present is to race other kids in high school. How about a Yugo?

Just lost a coworker while he was riding his motorcycle, slammed into the side of a truck as it turned across his part of the highway, died on impact. He was serving in the USCG.

So at the moment, I'm a bit sensitive to people dying needlessly in auto accidents, especially 16 year olds who have lots of life left in them.

 

If you are using Nitrous on your RX-8

What type are you using? Wet or Dry system?

How much are you spraying?

Have you Dyno'd the car with an A/F meter?


If you are not using Nitrous this thread is not for you. Please I don't need advise or opinions about Nitrous.

Thanks

 

Might as well kill this thread now since there isn't anybody running NOS yet and nobody else is allowed to reply... :o

 

yea carisma is squeezing off the bottle...ask him...even if you are squeezing you would want to use a wet setup.... do some research on this forum...there are many posts about this already..

 

man **** off, a guy i worked w/ over the summer died yesterday night driven home. suposivly fell asleap at weel or was DUI, or a mix. why would u bring that here? Sory bout your friend anyways.
- not looken to die man, wtf!

buster- if u want... sure.

but the neons i just put in look alot like sumthen i saw in a package mazda sent me... mine jus a lil brighter i think. need a cam! i can neva to remember to pick one up...

 

Flame me if you want, but supposedly you are not supposed to use a dry N2O system on a rotary engine.

 

Nitrous on a Rotary is like throwing a shotput into a jet engine. It's gonna make a really loud boom. Nitrous isn't worth the strain it applies to your motor; turbos are less sudden, easier to tune, and you can get more reliable horsepower out of them. Nitrous is cheap horsepower, and cheap horsepower doesn't come without problems.

 

your analogy stinks

 

Savington your first post sucks.Unjustified remarks we have enough of here, so please put a little more thought to your next post.Ive ran spray on 3 autos never had a problem,hell one still running today with 210,000 miles.
