Alright i just got my rx8 im pretty clueless on all the mods and everything im aware their is a turbo kit but is it really worth it. I was wondering if their were anything i can buy to help the performance of my car and if so what are the few main things i should get?

Thanks for the help

Also with the greddy turbo kit installed how much does it add torque wise and help what would you estimate the 0-60 time and quarter mile would be?

 

There isn't much that can really do a lot of power. The greddy turbo is evidently a 60whp increase. The SSR Turbo is like a 110whp increase but it's not out yet. Also a mild 55hp wet shot of Nos is doing wonders for some people. Staying away from FI, the only things that are major benefits are a port job and tuning a piggyback ECU. Everything else has minimal gains.

It's important that you say what you're looking for. Like "I want a straightline performance car that can do a 13 second quarter mile run and we can let you know which route to take, or "I want an autocross car" Performance has different meanings to different people. Help us out a tad before we can help you out.

Im mainly interested in straight line performance.

 

Shoulda bought a Mustang.

 

i love how rx8's look and feel i just wish i could get a little more out of it in the straight line and i hate mustangs.

 

What's your money situation and do you care about voiding your warranty?
