425WHP RX-8 Turbo By Turblown Engineering

[firstpostlol]

Hey you bitch....my 1.3 blew your cammy out...get over it

[v8power60L]

not bad

[mlukaszm]

15 miles per gallon before - 5 miles per gallon after :D

[upyoursassmonkey]

Wow a video involving an import that actually has decent music for change.

[riorin8829]

what is this acceleration speed for this vehicle ?

[TurblownEng]

All the Rx-8s we have installed our turbo system are currently running...

[riorin8829]

how much would the modification cost me? i am hoping to get a 2004 Rx-8 for like 8 k and modify it like the one you have! so cool

[TurblownEng]

@riorin8829

to get to 330rwhp takes $7,000. Past this will require a clutch, ignition upgrade, and a full exhaust system.

[MrPaulrevere]

@ohaloxmastero Because you can buy one on the second-hand market for 8 grand, lol.

[MrPaulrevere]

I plan to use this kit with a GT4202R (other mods too obv.).  Any idea how much power is possible?

[vtecboi18]

i was all ready to get a fc rx7 until i see this long sigh idk what i want now

[DLC1988]

i cant imagine the MPG on this car ouchhhhhhhhhh ><

[HIIMRAVI2]

This is an awesome video.

i want a turbo so freaking bad...

[faithizzlezz]

2:36 he was so not going 35 m/h XO

[faithizzlezz]

2:37 he was so not going 35 m/h XO

[Mikeyboii386]

this is my fav vid

[MrMajik2]

If you've driven an RX-8 or any other previous RX-7, you know that having full boost at 3800 rpm is quite early in the rev range. the engine doesn't even come alive until 6k anyway.

[edoloman24]

wats omp

[miatazoomzoom]

my main question is the motor worked at all like apex seals corner seals? or any port work?

[TurblownEng]

@miatazoomzoom

Motor is bone stock, with porting and more boost you can reach 450+rwhp easily

[CCLemone]

@TurblownEng Easily? I haven't followed the FI scene for the RX-8 closely in a while, but I have yet to see a 13B-MSP make 450 rwhp. Even if there has been one, I don't think you could say it was "easily" done. Also, porting on these engines is fairly limited and I don't think there are enough ported and turbocharged RX-8's to say what kind of results could be consistently expected.

[TurblownEng]

@CCLemone

We've done over 550rwhp now... Look at our other video...

[K4KillerKilling]

@TurblownEng Have you blown it up yet? Ive heard it can be a pain to turbo renesis engines because of the increased compression and the side port exhaust.I guess it causes issues with the Apex seals under high boost.

[schassis]

is there a different front mount i dont want people knowing my 8 is turbo i want to get my swirv on but low key.

[TheMetzio]

Did you had a huge turbo lag ? 35r is way too big have you tried with 30r ? Can engine fill the 35r easily ?

[TurblownEng]

@TheMetzio its not laggy at all, full boost is 3800rpms. a 30R does spool slightly faster but makes 100 less rwhp...



[TheMetzio]

@TurblownEng Congrats than amazing job ! Planing to buy a turbo kit for my 8 and your kit seems the best one among the ones I saw. what you've done has to be respected :)

[HIIMRAVI2]

WANT

[Rtree115]

1st time Ive ever seen a boosted rx8 make good power. You guys know your stuff and now, I might just consider buying one since they are very easy to obtain w/ low miles and Im looking for something different

[TrevorsTII]

That is a nice setup guys. Is that 425hp graph at 2:07 also at 11.5 psi like the video'd monitor?

[5cheeta]

stock engine???

[TurblownEng]

Just steel motor mount brackets, uses the OEM motor mounts...

[TheRotaryHeaven]

Great setup, i'm not a huge fan of steel motor mounts though :)

[s2000amuse]

torque is really low. is there a way to increase torque for drifting purposes?

its a nightmare trying to drift on dry roads with my mazda only rain or snow works at the time :(

[LiveWire8241]

@s2000amuse High end torque my friend, you just have to get the rpms way up there, then the 8 becomes a drifting machine

[Wilddr805]

The best Turbo kits seem to be coming out of here. Can't wait to bolt mine up my Gt35R next month.

[Jedi054]

paint the intercooler and you've got one HELL of a sleeper!

amazing job guys, congrats on the successful install / tuning.

[czarandmaeve]

@Jedi054 I dunno if i would consider any rx8 a sleeper myself.

[rcx6000]

Make it work with the OMP and I am sold.

[TurblownEng]

@rcx6000

We are working on that, going to make an inconel heat shield for the motor/lines that is down there. I am pretty sure we can make it work. Key is reliability.

[rcx6000]

@TurblownEng Cool, PS make sure the sohn omp adapter fits in there, lol.

[silverfdturbo6port]

@rcx6000

omp is bad news injecting dirty motor oil is not a good idea. Go premix

[rcx6000]

@silverfdturbo6port

Sohn Adapter

[Munroman]

Is the graph at 2.07 different to the one shown when on dyno?

[TurblownEng]

@Munroman

Yes it is different. We didn't have the camera filming the monitor during that pull.

[supremewhip]

Serious
