Has anyone tried this yet?

I've been reading through these forums, and so far I haven't found what I want to know, so here it goes:
Has anyone tried either a supercharger or turbo with intake, full exhaust, and nitrous? How about with porting? If so, how big were the power gains?
If i had a turbo on an RX-8, and nitrous, should I spray the nitrous through the intercooler? Thanks.

Man you are so full of ****!! It is apparent that you haven't been reading worth of much on these forums, because you would've found it...
Now, we would have forgiven you if you cut the bullshit and tell everyone the truth. You've been looking at MazdaManiacs avatars instead, haven't you?

I meant with an intercooler sprayer, just to clear that up. Like the NX Ntercooler system.

I wouldn't be helping him. Nah-ah!!!
Not until he tells as the truth. IT was all about the MM's avatars right? Say it...
Remember! Only the truth will set you free.

OK, OK... I think we should give the guy a break.
He knows now that the "i read... but couldn't find anything" does not fly here.
I bet now he is somewhere there devouring the valuable information.

To Rotaryturtle:
Man there is plenty of info on every single topic you are interested in on this forums. Don't go starting a thread asking something like "has anyone done this" without at least researching the bases of the topic on your own. Just by looking at the tread titles you can find your your source on information. Keyword based "Search" function also sometimes turns up with some good stuff...

Anyway welcome to the forums.

Oh and don't forget to compliment MM on the avatars.
The more you do that, the more they get.

I don't think you truly understand how an intercooler works. At no time does the ambient outside air mix with the intake air. it is an enclosed unit. Basically the only thing exposed to the outside air are vanes of metal that are cooled by the outside air and or if you spray them with nitrous/CO2/liquid, etc. So spraying nitrous using an intercooler will only lower the charge of the intake air, not spray nitrous into the intake & hence into the engine.

Nitrous is expensive...use C02 and isolate your IC if you want more cooling on your intake charge (or get a bigger IC). Also, its very possible to run nitrous after your turbo. However, locate as directed in the manual (NOT before the IC).

Nitrous is $4/lb., CO2 is $1/lb. I had the CryO2 system. If all you are doing is using it as a IC sprayer much better idea to get a CO2 or water sprayer.

Ok, guys, I learned my lesson. I've spent the past week searching these forums for all the info I could find. If I go turbo at some point, I will put the intercooler up front if I can without too much trouble. Also, I know that by using an intercooler sprayer, the CO2/nitrous will not actually enter the intake, but it will be a while before I could get CO2 or nitrous anyways. Actually, I dont even have my RX8 yet. The dealer sold the only black sport 6MT on the lot. The other black 8's are either auto, or not a sport model. I'm going by the other local Mazda dealer Friday to see if they have what I want/can afford.
Something I haven't found info on, however, is swapping a 13B-REW into an RX8. If there is a thread about this swap, can someone please point me in the right direction? Thanks.

maybe you should just read some more.. really i dont think anyone has done it.. a couple of 20b swaps,,


read, read, read, then when you get your car and turbo.. get back to us..

walk then walk faster, think about running.. and if you can afford it run..

I have searched a lot on REW swaps, but I was basically wondering if anyone knew something I don't.
Walk, then walk faster? lol. I do have a car, but it's a crappy RX7. So hopefully I won't be doing much walking.

you miss the point..

when you get your 8 you are walking.. to improve you are walking faster.. few are really running..

as i said.. you need to read and lurk.. i did..

stop reading the boy racer stuff.. learn the basics..
