Ghostrider 3rd Gear February 12, 2005 Share February 12, 2005 Ah.....but when you mod till like dat...the RON97 will not support the fueling....it will ping...so every tank of petrol you would need to add octane booster. Turbo will always be a rush....NA cannot duplicate that....unless its a hugh cap engine. Given a choice...I would take a big cap engine like a 4.0 above....turbo engine are good for sprints...but if you substain a high speed run, the turbo will suffer from heatsoak....NA no such problem. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nocturnal113 Neutral Newbie February 15, 2005 Share February 15, 2005 Hey the RX8 is not turbo charged ...normal aspiration only. And for a 1.3 to reach 0-100 in sub 7 seconds. That is pretty impressive. Anyway have you checked out the Phoenix Turbo Charged RX8 : 956 RWHP!!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panda Neutral Newbie February 15, 2005 Share February 15, 2005 Quote walan damn fast sia... 1.3 twin turbo can be so fast one huh? FYI, Any product of rotary you see on a drag strip is most likely a suped-up twin turbo 3-rotor 20B from Cosmos, or in the case of that video, that FD is a modified 4-rotor. Which brings back memories of the Le Mans 787B with 4 rotors pumping 700bhp NA and drinks 7 litres per lap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metalslug Neutral Newbie February 15, 2005 Share February 15, 2005 RX8 not turbo charged ah? i didnt noe that... hows the normal driving? is the FC high? those big wheels...surely will cause FC to drop... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nocturnal113 Neutral Newbie February 16, 2005 Share February 16, 2005 Yep, it is normal aspiration but a rotary engine. So the power is generated by high revs. Normal driving is quite enjoyable. Did exhaust mods and piggyback ECU tuning so I had definite gains on my low revs. Not like brute power, but still quite fun to drive. FC is kindof bad. If I keep my revs low, can net about 9km/L. But keep the revs high and you're looking at 8km/l. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
