they actually dont make one. supposedly greddy made one but its (from what i have been told) discontinued. a local guy made a kit. he is located in santee.

the kit itself is just hardware. the engine management is up to you. but i know someone at haltech and someone else that is awesome with haltech on rotaries.

so its possible to do but wont be a cheap endeavor.

oh and for the record the renesis doesnt like boost.

if i'm not mistaken, most rx8 are S/C blown? and the kits are pretty expensive for the Hp gains.

theres a couple of boosted 8s in L.A that have been running boost for while now ive been talking to them off and on and they said the greddy kit u can use straight out the box with out anything except the BOV and the boost gauge, but if ya want more out of the kit u gotta start upgraded things , not really sure what they are talking about but cause ive never messed with turbo's or SC, but from what im understanding i need the kit , seperately BOV and gauges water temp, boost etc, would be highly recommended.


plz excuse me im a nub when it comes turbo's
i will NOT be performing this myself!!! LMAO

i would recomend NEVER using the greddy engine management. iirc they use the emanage for all their kits.

the greddy kit for the 350z had a tendency toward blowing cars up.

but thats just personal opinion.

i mean realistically you can piece together a kit too which takes a lot more technical knowhow but will get you everything you want.

IEATVtec, the hobby shop on mainside is CHEEAAAP for stall and tool use, I got a stall for like 2 or 3 hours for 5 bucks, all the tools you can dream of, air and regular, they have good mechanics there, you can bring people to help you too, car just has to be registered in your name with your mil id and what not...

that was flat stall use BTW, the 4 point lift is 5/hour but that is still hella cheap

nice, it may be that way here, but they always hassle me about my registration, cause i'm a second owner on it, the car is still in father in law's name to keep it "one owner" if it ever becomes valuable, they see his name and are like well who are you... I would like to smack them sometimes

ieatvtec--------IMO all the hardware looks great but i think 2cute brings up such a strong point who & where will you be tunning the software. Key point is hardware is only good as the software will allow it to be. No good having a big gun with no bullets. It would be nice to buy the hardware and the software from the same peeps but don't trade off and short change yourself by compromising anything. ultimately you will be the one driving the car.
