Supercharging the Rx8...
boys and girls, here is the link if you want to know more...
http://motoring.nzoom.com/motoring_d...88-390,00.html Quote: "Whilst Mazda's engineers are quick to deny that they will produce a turbocharged version of the RENESIS engine, principally because of the effect that process has on exhaust emissions, they do acknowledge that they are working on a supercharged version. This supercharged prototype is officially limited to 206kW, but produces an incredible torque, said to be some 375Nm at 4000rpm. Our sources also tell us that the supercharged version will in fact churn out 238kW, and in racing form will be easily capable of producing 298kW (400bhp)..." 206 kW = 276 Hp 238 kW = 320 Hp 298 kW = 400 Hp... :eek: Very impressive indeed!!! :D |
:eek: :eek: Damnit, these were new pants too :)
400HP! that's amazing. all that torque too. any more info on this? wait a sec..that article says the RX-8 is 62 grand :cursing: :cursing: not in canuck or yankee dollars.. just wondering what currency they're talkin about? |

They have never done that from the factory. I wounder what kind the'll use? It'd better have an aftercooler. |
