RX7FD3

I did a search and ive seen especulations about 20B swaps or even turbo kits for RX-8s, but has anyone actually seen or have an RX-8 with an engine swap or turboed yet???

It would be nice to get a 3d gen street ported engine with a good single turbo in an RX-8.

Unless someone has already found a way to get a single turbo in an RX-8 engine with good track times, and reliable proof.

I did my search on the forum and nothing found nor the RX-7 forum so im hoping someone has some type of real information and not just especulations, if any available just yet or a project like this that has been completed.

Note: i did see those other rx-8 projects with turbo kits being installed but does anyone actually have an completed RX-8 project with a single turbo running and killing numbers at the track?

I did already but there is no info or anything on the site, just a few pics and a video showing the progress but no actual numbers.

what tranny did they use? what turbo?

You did a search, huh? Did you search more than 1 week back? The forum existed before you showed up, you know.

I just did an actual search, and found several threads with pictures and details of the Acosta Racing 20B RX-8 project:

Here's the main one (and the last post was only 2 days ago... just how hard did you search again?)
Here's another one
and here's another one

They have written that they can't post final dyno results since they have an agreement with a magazine that is publishing a feature article about the car.

(Maybe you need to brush up on your search skills )

This was really uncalled for? Must you be such a dick with every response to my threads??? Are you stalcking my posts ?
Did you even read what i posted?? I said i did find those and that i was aware of them, yet i wanted to know if someone had actual numbers of any swap done because for obvous reasons, these people dont. There is no numbers, no info, no dyno, nothing and thats what i was asking from someone else if someone else had done it, other than them.

I also asked if someone did a 3d gen with single turbo swap or just simply a single turbo set up on an RX-8 stock engine which is not posted anywhere in the forum, or at least i was not able to find with the search.

You are really getting on my last nerves with the way you talk to people. Other RX-8 owners arent *********. so please dont give a bad reputation tothe rotary commnunity and let others post actual threads responding to those who posted.

I didnt make a post to see how many ******** like you would reply with smart answers, i posted this to seek for people who are actually in this forum to inform and to help others and not just reply to posts to sound like smartasses

Now, i would really appreciate it if you would stop messing people's threads with your stupid comments and you would actuallly let this forum be informative.

You want this forum to be informative? Then YOU need to STFU, and read and learn. This forum has been plenty informative before - then you show up, and start posting crap like "the auto RX-8 has less power because of the fuel injection". Complete, total, BS, yet you mouth off over and over ("Here's how to break in your rotary", Here's why synthetic isn't good", "as many RX-8s have broken engines/transmissions as have been sold") posting crap as if it were fact. Read your post again - "I did a search and ive seen especulations about 20B swaps or even turbo kits for RX-8s, but has anyone actually seen or have an RX-8 with an engine swap or turboed yet???" and "I did my search on the forum and nothing found" ... those hardly indicate that you even knew of the existence of the Acosta Racing swap or the detailed information contained in those threads (including exact specs of the turbo used).

I said it before - YOU lost all credibility when you first showed up preaching to US about the RX-8, when it's painfully obvious that you have no clue WTF you are talking about. You might know FD RX-7s, but you still assume that your FD knowledge transfers directly to RX-8s, and instead show yourself off as a know-it-all idiot. You are spreading more mis-information than anyone else since you arrived - I certainly don't give a crap about you, and couldn't be bothered stalking you (get real), but you're posting crap all over the place and acting like this forum didn't have a clue before you arrived. Check again - if I've responded to a thread of yours, it's to challenge some crap BS that you've posted, or to point out that you've started a duplicate thread of a very recent thread that already has plenty of responses. You post BS, I'll be happy to call you on it. You cut the BS, and I won't have any reason to respond. There's PLENTY of long-time forum members here who do know what they're talking about, we don't need some newbie who thinks he's King Rotary spreading crap mis-information (that's you).

RX7FD3

LOook at all this, you actuallly took the time to list out every thread i have posted and you say you arent stalking me???
WTF. Let cut the bullshit, allright! if you something agaisnt me, do me a favor, dont reply to my threads, simple as that, move on to the next one.

I posted a simple thread with questions about other owner experiences if any, and i posted that i have read about them and yet still wasnt enough. I was asking question, as if asking question implies like "i know it all" like you say i do.

please leave me alone, and leave my threads alone, Im here to gain information and to share my experiences in the rotary community, and like i said before....Im seeking for people to respond with informative answers, We dont need forum members acting like Cops, and replying with answers to make others look bad. You have too much time in your hands to be tracking down others to see where they make mistakes or if they know what they are saying is politicly correct.

who do you think you are??

Im going to say it once again, stop responding to thread with stupid remarks and simply restrict yourself to replaying with informative answers, Im not hear to fight with you. Im here to gain information and to share....

Leave me the **** alone

I'm here to learn information too, as are most of us - you can share information all you want as long as it's actually true. I've enough experience with autos to know BS when it's posted - many others here don't, and might actually believe some of your crap. If you have real facts and valid information to share, fine - but so far that is in extremely short supply from you, and you post stuff that you just make up as if it were fact.

Making others look bad? You're doing that all by yourself. If you want to be accepted here, just stop with the BS and acting like a know-it-all, and you'll be fine. I'm certainly not the only one here who has called you on it. This forum has plenty of rotary experts who actually know something about the RX-8, you don't need to pretend to be one until you actually learn something about the 8. I'm not one of the experts, and I don't pretend to be, but it's apparent that I know a hell of a lot more about the 8 than you do.

BTW, don't flatter yourself - stalking, what an ego! I just read most of the threads here to learn - I can't help it if you're spouting off everywhere! :p

RX7FD3, the auto RX-8 has less horsepower because it is a diesel :p Is your FD a diesel too?

Gord, c'mon man, be bigger than that.

RX7FD3, i've been watching, and you're being a bit of a pain in the bum.

this is getting out of hand, so closing.
