where are the dynos ?

bump

how goes the project Hymee? You coming to SevenSTock again?

The debate is still out.............. Pettit or Hymee

Still don't know which one to buy yet.

I believe a SC is more suited for the RX8.

The RX8 has too high of compression and the turbo creates too much heat in order for it to be reliable. That's why I am waiting for the SC

do it Razz, do it!

Sure why not.

I already bought a Holden G8 GT!

you mean Pontiac? ;)

How much hotter does a turbo get than a SC?

From everything I've read, the SC does seem more suited to the 8. I really want the car to feel NA bit with more power.

Hymee please update us all, your system is very interesting!

turbo is fine until you start boosting over 10lbs---then things get bad. do research. no s.c.unit is doing 10lbs of boost.

Boost has nothing to do with it. Its about flow, and even that has no intrinsic difficulties for the motor.
Its temperatures and heat loss that must be managed, which has only a tangential relationship to boost.

BTW - Phi's S/C is putting 16 PSI into his motor. How much air is it flowing?
Different questions.
16 PSI.

jeff you re right--boost is kind of a generic word used i guess--exhausts temps, exhaust port temps is one thing to watch out for. The higher you push your engine the more critical it becomes.

I like to see this thread on page one, we don't want it slipping away now...

is phil really running at 16 psi?

what is he putting down?

16 lbs is a fair whack if he is still running the 1.7 liter blower. Nice :)

Is "whack" a unit of measure in Auss land?:)

Ah, supercharger threads make me feel less confident in the forces of natural selection.

The same could be said for any individual that believes a ~300whp RX-8 turbo kit to be the pinnacle.

Because a 280 HP supercharger kit is so pinnacle-er.

Get real.

Power is power. Almost no one on this site seems to be savvy enough to really absorb the differences between the various systems anyway, so let 'em all have it.

In other words, the community isn't intelligent enough to make an independent decision? They're capable of independent thought, yet not prepared to form an informed rationale...hmmm, interesting quandary...then I guess Hallelujah, and praise Jesus that you're here to enlighten everyone!

So is this the part where you and the posse get together and attempt to destroy another potential competitor's thread before riding into the sunset yelling "it has nothing to do with our turbos or engine management offerings...it has nothing to do with our turbos or engine management offerings"...ready, set - GO!!!

Nope, nothing like that.
Awfully paranoid position, though.

No, people here are very capable of making independent decisions.
The problem is very few are equipped to make informed choices.

I have no real desire to convince/enlighten/destroy anything other than bad thinking like your post.

You're all whack. Jeez o man.

I just want a really good blower job.

Those units are very expensive retail at the moment. Spoke to a shop here in Chicago that did a custom build on a C6 Vette, and the SC alone was upwards of $4000.

Lysholm twin screw units are just as efficient and you can get one off the shelf with snout for ~$1700.

All that's the easy part, though. Aside from the obvious need for fabrication skills, packaging a positive displacemnt SC isn't easy, and on the RX-8 you will have to relocate/replace/modify many items under the hood. The big issue with atttempting that unit direct from an Audi would be its snout length for pulley alignment. You'll want a very short snout for the RX-8.

Hymee's fitment, to say the least, is very very nice from the pictures he's posted.
