Just as its obvious that you havn't applied yourself here. There is a boat load of information posted on this forum regarding major horsepower upgrades such as superchargers, turbos , and nitrous. I'm a 37 year old man with a family. I have a college degree and am currently going for my masters. I have been involved in numerous DOD projects that will ultimately benefit our troops like that of the EMALS system that was posted last night. I have applied myself and it shows by where I am in my life and my career. Get off your f-ing high horse. You say you serve your country. So do I *******. You won't find high ranking officers on the front line. They're not out there to flex their muscle they're out there to use their mind like us "bookworms". Take what your selling elsewhere because frankly your an embarassment!
u want a gold stocker. listen i dont care anymore about this convo i got the info i needed with the help of a few people on here we got way off topic cuz in the beging posts people didnt like my spelling. andf ur tottaly right i didnt apply myself but everyone has a different up bringing. if you didnt have high horse ******** like me. we wouldt be kicking ***. and if we didnt have bookworms that know everything there is to know about what they wqent to school for we wouldnt dominate these wars either. but remember one thing u really dnt know the reason y im not the greatest with the book smarts i am tryn to go to college but its harder for me than others i wont say why because there will be more people coming on here and sayn **** so im all set. just know that if we didnt have uneducated ******** like m that have a stink to them we wouldnt have a front line. That is the truth most 18x are dumb as **** when it comes to school work. (from what i have seen) which may not be as much as you. but i have seen alot. dont be pissed at other unedgucaed soldiers just uz u had a bad experiene with me becaue they arent all like me. i know what i am all by friends every body says im an ******* but hey its me. so i will end this post with this and wont reply anymore. thank you all for yor help. i was warned about gettin **** on forums before so i dont reslly care much. i have found my info i will be going with the pettit racing supercharger . when i have the cash i will keep u all posted with photos progress and problems when i run into them. thanks again and have a great holiday

Listen. Everyone on here is an ***, and if you don't know your ****, you will get flammed. Here's what you can do:
1. smaller upgrades, that don't hurt your engine, intake, exhaust ,Cobb accessport, chip. etc.
And if all of those are done, you will have a decently fast car. without dropping thousands and thousands on it.
2. a 13B engine swap. no one has the cash for that...
3. turbo it, BUT only at LOW PSI. That's where dumbasses blow their engines. So many times I've seen it where people run it at high psi, which the rotary isnt ment for, and they dont know why their engine went.. if you turbo it, only 5.9-8 psi please..
4. sell the car.. a lot of cars are easier to upgrade. personally, I think its a pretty quick car. I own one. It gets the steriotype "slow" because A. people have the 4 spd autos, or B. Americans are all about their mustangs and 350 whp and dont want to accept 200 whp, gives them a run for their money. which is true. mustang gt and rx8 tied on the track in times.
5. supercharger. less harmful, hp boost. usually no problems are caused by them

Hope I helped.

You didn't help at all...
Especially the part about the turbo. That's bullshit and you're still confusing flow for boost.

derek, listen to victor. He know all and wins wars

victor. I think you need to read a little more. I think the only thing that wasn't mis-information was telling him to sell the car. I think we can agree on that.

wow i love forums lol i did talk to pettit racing they said that supercharging the RX8 will give me less problems and if i take car of the oil level and dont beat the snot out of it, the car will be fine. they also told me i could do the same thing with a turbo. on low boost 5 to 8 pounds but it needs to be tuned on a regular so i dont pop the damn motor. they said it was all about the flow and the tune

I'm pretty sure this guy is just trolling you guys, everything he says seems to be trying to get a rise out of someone.

So funny to watch grownass people mad at a 17 year old who, I guess, was misinformed by my* mechanics and take it so seriously. Love this forum <3

Well, since you are young take it as a lesson. Never take what someone said, and then quickly go out and preach that to others without researching first especially when you want to talk **** about others in the process. All that was missing from your last post was recommending cams and a port and polish.

First off, I said "most" people on here are ********, everyone decided to take offense to that. Doesn't mean you or whoever else who took it offensive is, but you guys took it to the next level and became what I described. However, you are right. I'm young. Don't know a lot, never said I did, but just wanted to help and give what I had. Anyways, You're going to believe what your mechanics say, if you dont work on rotaries yourself... me being 17, i dont fiddle with it yet... but apparently who he talked to said 5-8 pounds. that part was right... I was just trying to give him what I had to offer, and what I had wasn't good enough for the few who flammed.

This thread made me in many ways. Just when I was about to move along I would read another post that made me laugh

You were busy being a grunt so you couldn't learn to read and write? I am sure you make your Army brothers proud.

lmao this is actually funny now it first i was getting pissed about people talking ****. I guess i found the humor in it. Also yes i was talking abou supercharging my car but i have done alot of research now and the kit pettit sellls is well worth the money but the only problem is i could easily sell this car take the 8 grand for the supersharger and put it into another car and have far more power. I can honestly say i made a mistake in buying this car.Though i do like it alot,it just not the car for me i like alot of power,driving fast is my style. so i think i might do the basics for now like intake exhaust slid mounts, final drive flywheel and all that jazz and see where im at . then maybe if im happy with that i will move on from there. OHHHHH and one more thing to the guy that said a turbo will smoke the motor i met a kid tho other night and he has had his rotory boosted at 9 pounds for 3 years and hasnt had a problem since. but ever car is different from wht i have learned in life so just know that i guess if you take care of it then it will last. i hope everyone has great luck with thier car,and thier life. thank ou for all of your help good and bad

Greddy is a popular choice ... DO NOT use emanage, its a piece of **** as far as the rx8 application goes.... This is where you need to ask yourself about local emissions testing and how you are going to work with OBD2 compatibility
will it give me some serious power?
stock is around 180 whp

NA mods will give you 190 - 200 whp

turbo should put you at 240 - 260 (stock motor, and fuel system)

Crazy turbo = crazy money (fuel system, injectors, the works) 350+ whp .... prior to touching the engine itself


does a hioghflow exhaust and cat make a difference?

Absolutely - best NA mod is a catless midpipe in terms of power .... and you start to shoot fire

i don want to waste money on things that i can buy now but wont be able to use once i have the turbo.

Good idea

I dont want you all to think im some little kid with a new toy i have built many cars with my own 2 hands i just need some helping hands from others that have been in my place before its overwelming. sorry for my grammer i know it sucks

then, please stop sounding like one ... read your posts over before you submit them so people actually want to respond.
my answers are in red

BUT before you start modding ... maintain your car first

The ignition system is known to be weak

Premix your gas ... change oil OFTEN

and learn about rotaries ... you will need to READ, READ, READ .... tons of info out there....

most people here (including myself) spent 1 or more years reading this forum on a daily basis before buying an rx8

Don't stick to this forum too ... read some SAE papers on the engine and stuff ..... start in my attachment

Every motor blows at some point ... the question is when?
Boost increases wear ... more wear = blown motor sooner
FD motors last longer than boosted MSP engines because they accept boost better
However, they don't last nearly as long as an NA MSP

or i it another reason i really dont want to waste my money but i deffinatly want more power.
This car is not about power. It is about balance. I can't mess with an evo on the highway, but I have shat all over them on a road course multiple times

Take your car to AutoX or OPEN TRACK .... you'll fall in love all over again

agian ... I am in red


EDIT: oh **** ... i just realized that this thread turned into an epic fail before I posted ... w.e hopefully derek can use this info

Derek, I think you need to calm down and stop talking about this political/patriot-or-not topics ... and even though I side with the other guys, this thread is not about that.

Your spelling is not even that bad .... it's the fact that you don't separate your posts into paragraphs and lines that make them so ******* annoying to read .... it is also very hard to skim

Look at how I quoted you and you will get an idea of what you should do.
