Evolution 9 Turbo in the RX-8
Hey all, a friend of mine with a mitsubishi evo ix is thinking about upgrading his turbo. That leaves him with a spare stock evo turbo which he might give to me. I was wondering if it would be possible to fabricate a kit to make it work well with the rx-8. I know that it is possible to get it all installed but i want to know how it would work with renesis.
The turbo is twinscroll 16g with a 10.5 hotside off the evo.

Any thoughts?

custom manifold+downpipe would be a pain

if that's the compressor flow map for that turbo, looks like it will work (not great, but it'd work) until high rpms. Not sure of the exact air flow the 8 takes in up top though.
then again, there may be other things mechanical that may be a problem. i'm not an expert. lol. experts can chime in can tell you more.

ahh that's what my friend thought. he said that if the piston engine size was greater than 2.0 L then it would run out of air at higher rpms. i know it's comparing apples to oranges but the 1.3 L rotary is similar to a ~2.6 L piston engine.
thanks for the info =]

re-inventing the wheel is easy and doesn't require you to pm CRH to ask for his help because you think you might blow something or destroy your car or anything

The exhaust housing is way too restrictive for rotary even with 10.5 hotside.
The compressor's good enough for 400whp when pushed, but won't make as much power on rotary.
It will be worthless and end up causing you alot of pain and regret.
