Ok so ive had my 8 for about 4 years now. Its still mostly stock, with the exception of a greddy sp2 cat back exhaust, a set of tein basics, and a new set of bfg kdw2's. I just decided to sell my 92 civic hatch which i have dumped about $10k in after market parts, repairs, and upgrades over the last 2 years. My plan is to sell the civic and aim my attention to my 04 rx8. My main goal is to have a well balanced car that can be driven on the street and have the ability to put down some good time at the track. (not the drag strip) ive done that already i wanna try my hand at some auto cross, maybe even some time attack some time in the future, but ill save that for my 91 rx7 project. So the 8 has been on the market for about 6 years now and i know there are a few good turbo kits out. Does any one have any recommendations as to which kit/shop might be able to help me achieve my goal. Thanks to all in advance for any help.

 

1. what's your budget?
2. do you have your heart set on a certain hp figure?
3. this car does amazingly well in N/A form at Auto Cross. Our own ULLOSE was the 3 time champ in BS class in his RX-8

as for Forced Induction.
look in the major horsepower subforum, grab your #2 pencil, start reading and take some good notes.

There are a few FI options from the Pettit Supercharger to the Greddy Turbo to the Hymee twin screw SC and everything in between.
Only you will know which is best suited for you. Once you've read those threads, I think you'll have a better idea of what's in store for you and what you can expect out of the RENESIS motor.


P.S. I will forewarn you that FI kits on the RX-8 are not as cost effective as they are on a popular car such as a Civic. Simple supply / demand equation.
