Talk of turbos...
I was hearing about Turbo V8s and how the domestic boys were turning to turbos...
And so the question popped into my head, what about a Turbo V8 first gen?
... Will the beast ever exist?

why turbo V8 in a first gen?
13BT with the right work woukd run into the 9s with close to stock chassis, why ruin the handling too?
for the body mods you'd need to fit a turbo V8, just go for a 20B with a huge turbo, no need to go back to pistons when you have a wankel.

I dunno dude, those turbo v8s make enormous amounts of power.
I'm all for the wankel, but since the V8 conversion can be done, why not slap a turbo on, too? I mean it's bound to fit under that hood somewhere.
And a turbo 20b is somewhere around 10 grand to put in? A turbo V8 wouldn't cost nearly as much.

Well that's good.
But uh, if you don't like it, you don't gotta read it. I mean I just wanted to know what people thought about a turbo v8 in an rx-7, I already know that lots of people don't want v8s in rx-7s, but some people do, and it's their choice, and their money.
Sorry.
