This is one of the most exciting threads for me , because I'am just not all that happy with myRX8 with the Greddy turbo after all. I have 284whp with the Greddy but I want so much more, this just might be what I'am looking for, so keep up all the good work and please keep us informed with all updates and any videos you can..

I also heard Cam from Pettit has a 20b in his RX8, I haven't talked with him yet to confirm. Does anyone know if this is true.

I can't believe one of the lucky few to get that much power from their GReddy turbo still isn't happy. You're sick. I guess those are the consequences of being addicted to speed.

This is the best thread ever .!
I had no idea the carbon fibre tail shaft,modded G/box and the diff could handle this power. Maybe the RX8 was intended after all to be modded after all
Great news for FI people

Of course it is. The true soul of this car lies in the fact that it is a rotary powered vehicle. That is what makes it so unique. By swapping in another rotary engine (ie. super powerful 20b) you're still keeping the one thing about the car that truly makes it stand out from other models. Now, swapping in a piston engine, thats just blasphemous to me. (puts on flame retardent suit to shield self from LS1 7 enthusiasts).
P.S. rx8pr, you guys wouldnt happen to have any video of that 1/4 run where robert ran 10's would you? The other videos were fantastic.

GONZALEZ, LA PREGUNTA QUE A MI ME GUSTARIA QUE ME CONTESTE. ES CUANTO USTED ME COBRARIA PARA HACERME ESE PROJECTO? YO SE QUE AHORA USTED NO TIENE TIEMPO PERO QUIZAS PARA EL VERANO DEL 2006 PUEDAS, Y ME GUSTARIA CUANTO ME SALERIA PARA EMPEZAR A GUARDAR DINERO.

EVIL.....

I think Mazda should hire lots of Puerto Ricans in their Rotary development team. Just imagine the possibilities

True Magellen: The problem with your post is that in order to be called " Human" you need to have an Orthotopic transplant" (Another Human Heart). If you transplant a "Monkey heart" (Impossible by the way) that person can't be called a " Human" anymore, ...", lol . The intrigue of the RX8 is the new concept of the renesis engine. RX8= MAZDA NEW RENESIS ENGINE, not an rx2,rx3,rx4,rx7, cosmos, etc.

the Renesis is just a fancy name for the redone engine...a new beginning for the rotary

really our engine's core design is not much different

Renesis is a marketing/branding icon (ie gimmick)

as for the Monkey heart thing, well I was just having a little fun

Rotaryryder36,

Sorry but I don't have more videos.................but I'm goin to see Robert this thursday
probably we make a few short videos with a little more boost!


rx8ultra,

I don't remember and RX7 with a 20B that people don't call it and RX7!
you can put a Renesis engine on a RX7 and you would call it and RX7.
This is and RX8 but with a 20B................

Trumagellen,

you make my day! (with that joke)

Evil,

I talked with Robert last week and he do it all this work for fun..................
He don't make money doin this type of work, He is the owner of a company.
I was making a list and extimated on parts is near $12,000 plus additional labor.
If you consider to send the car to PR back/forward is near $4,000.00
I think that is cheaper to make it in Miami or any other state that has good rotary mechanics.

So if you have to put a pigs heart in your chest to stay alive does that make you a pig or are you still human?

You cant put pigs hearts on a human either (They only use their valves).

True Magellan:
I just dont like when people use analogies using family members that they dont know, more so when they have a heart condition, but enough of this.

Puerto Rico: Congratulations on building a faster RX8.

Dios los bendiga y guien con cuidado. Saludos.
