Turbocharged Mazda RX-8

[LogzDot]

Type S or RS BOV?

[TheAngelsmaycry]

how much money did you pay of all the parts?

[uunleashedd]

Do you get tired of that bov? greddy rs right?

[bllstrt6]

What kind of Bov is that?

[JPOneLove]

this is sick. your bov sounds like a wind chime. i still love it.

[Makeshoot]

@jwalk089 Stupid realy stupid. Dude i love mazda but this mazda is not mazda its to much noise if i drive to sea everyone says wow so good to much noise and ferrari gets true me ans u say rofl he is not so much noise u should understand this car is for trow to garbige is not a car anymore when u make modifications. for everyday use it sux. I got mustang and i am fine i can drive per day 600 kilometers and i dont feall bad i feall good.

[vickfan24707]

sexy car. i sold my eclipse for a down payment on one of these bad boys

[Gtbomb1]

@vickfan24707 wtf why?

[vickfan24707]

@Gtbomb1 the 4g63 motors have way too many problems lol. i never finished all of the work on it anyway it was a '97 gsx. didnt have the time for it

[Vormide]

WHat's this bov?

[fired71]

i like that noise it makes..idk if its the blow of valve but dam i want 1 D:

[viper2290]

omg the sound of the turbo is so sexy

[suncut21]

RX8 IS THE SEXY AND POWERFUL CAR EVER MADE... LONG LIVE MAZDA.;D

[jtbowden97]

how fast does a mazda go

[Tonka710]

Beautifull!!!:D

[ProjectRevoLutioN21]

Hey ! Fast and Furious Sound xD

Nice car *Drools*

[chagan1988]

very nice rx-8 bro. youve put alot of work and time in it. its not to flashy but one of a kind.

[Skaterrocker842]

How did you get it to make that chime sound?

[7thmalice]

i could see a turbo on an rx8 going like bat out of hell because of the massive amount of revs the mazda naturally achieves

[CmdrTobs]

@7thmalice Yeah, I thought that, just like on the 7. The consensus is/was to supercharge the Rx-8.

I suppose the rational behind that is although it would do well with a turbo most people for real life driving would want more lower RPM torque and since it has no stock accommodation for forced induction might as well go for super charging, plus hardcore performance nuts will still be playing with turbo 7's anyway.

[samwatts1992]

that must go through so much fucking fuel

[jonathansmith84]

god I love that BOV! too bad they dont make them anymore

[elr456]

That things sounds sick. I always loved the rear and front looks but I just don't like the suicide doors. Why not just make it a coupe with 2 doors. But that's a sick car.

[ceyhan49]

sweetness!!!

[DcEvoIX]

looks like that turbo brought some torque into the rx8 I felt funny driving the car stock cuz it felt torqueless but it did handle great but this looks like alot of fun did u do a port n polish or seals or just threw on the gt30 and is that the greddy rs bov set on hard

[ljoch88]

What is the MPG versus the rx 7 ?

[5zigengronk]

sounds fkn shit go bridgy

[ImN0TaCat]

this may sound like a dumb question to some people but what is your average gas mileage?lol

[amaciel89]

it sounds like "bells" the blow off valve...

[1947ark]

How close do you get to the stock mpg?

[DJmmoney]

wheres the gage to see how fast your going

[philippestrapko1]

how long does the engine last with that set up? I have pretty much everything done to my rx8 but a turbo...

[1992SVXi]

sounds like windchimes lmao

[elemento1991]

How hard is it to learn rotary engines? I know the standard piston/cylinder/valves and all that happy shit pretty well lol. I'm looking into an RX8 and am interested but idk how they handle mods. I'd definitely want to boost it.

[TOLIS2121AEK]

with this you'll fuck them on the road...

[Moyjk]

103 people are DEAF or retard!! =)

[TheGospeedgo69]

looking good mate, the car seems to be nice and responsive too. what A/F gauge is that your using? i couldnt tell exactly

any plans for the future?

oh and orochiThing..... your a wanker!! i dont know what cereal box you got your info from but its aaaaaalllll wrong buddy, your not even close!!

[tyrannical]

@TheGospeedgo69 It's an AEM AFR, and a GReddy boost.

[TheGospeedgo69]

@tyrannical lol i realized that it was a AEM afr when i checked out your other vid.

[bari54]

dude!!!!!! im in love with ur blow off valve!!!!

ahhhhh i wanna get a turbo for my rx 8 just cuz i love the way urs sounds!!! <3

[slipknot12390]

hey what kind of turbo and bov do u got because everytime i watch this it reminds me of the fast and the furios movie lol with that bov so i was jw if you could hel me out because i like it alot

[NasosMazdaspeed6]

awesome!!excellent rotary sound!!greetings from Greece and mazdaspeedclub.gr

[KrGsMrNKusinagi0]

sounds like the BOV is not set right.. Should be a solid hit not a slow release spring maybe too loose??? not sure

[wajalama]

@KrGsMrNKusinagi0 It's a synchronized BOV.

[zx6rjake]

best sounding rx8 ive heard yet!

[orochiThing]

i would of supercharged it since the rx-8 is a high rev engine, not high power

[tyrannical]

@orochiThing Turbo makes use of the huge amount of exhaust gasses the rotary kicks out. Supercharger is parasitic on an engine that doesn't need to be dragged down. Apples to apples, the turbo always makes more power.

[orochiThing]

@tyrannical Thats not true. If you turbo charge the 8, yes you would use the exhaust to increase the psi and get a better combustion, but i would prefer to supercharge so i can get that rpm to hit 9 faster. Since the 8's redline isn't as restricted as other cars, i think its better use a super charger. In the not, turbos don't always make more power than superchargers. In some tests, the super charger would make better strength on a dyno, its just situational which you wanna use.

[tyrannical]

@orochiThing The supercharger always makes less power. You are taking power away to spin the belts. You are adding more moving parts. Also it's a common misconception that the SC makes more power down low than the turbo. If you look at let's say the Pettit SC vs ANY properly sized turbo, you'll see a 1,000 rpm+ advantage for the turbo down low. The only thing the SC has an advantage is that it prevents dumb owners from increasing boost without proper tuning.

[orochiThing]

@tyrannical Thats wrong again. The supercharger doesn't take power away at all. Like the turbo taking exhaust for compression but the sc takes energy from air and increase movement speed of the crank shaft. Although its not a higher psi compression rate that the turbo gives, its making your rpm spin at a faster rate with air flow than psi. Unless you cite that 1000 rpm its b.s to me

[tyrannical]

@orochiThing I'm not going to do your homework for you. Look up what a SC is and how it works. It takes power from the engine because the engine has to spin the supercharger and all it's belts. Hence parasitic loss. Meanwhile the Turbo is using "free" energy from the exhaust. You lose something (additional back pressure), but removing the cat, aftermarket exhaust, etc, all help alleviate that.

[tyrannical]

@orochiThing If you want real world numbers, go on rx8club and look up the FI comparison dyno charts. The torque is pathetic on the SC's. But if you like linear slow buildup, then maybe you'll enjoy paying a lot more for a SC kit to get a lot less power and torque.

[alexjalaff]

@tyrannical I would have gone turbo if they made a kit for my car, but there was none, so I had to go with a supercharger. Alas, both still add power, and make a car funner, both have pros and cons, and it's really down to preferance. Instant power vs. Turbo lag is a common arguement.

[tyrannical]

@alexjalaff That's true. A supercharger is better than stock :) Turbo lag really isn't a problem unless you installed a huge turbo that takes a lot of exhaust to spool. Most any turbo + BC should give you 12-16 psi of boost by 3000 rpm. Watch the next time you're on the road, chances are that you aren't under 3,000 rpm, hence no lag. I usually cruise at 4,000 rpm on the highway, so that means instant full boost anytime I hit the throttle.

[WaRn00b85]

That BOV would've driven me insane as well. lol Nice ride none the less. ;)

[need4speed39566]

LOVE that bov

[Reliccc]

@need4speed39566 it sounds like greddy type s; they only make rs now so you'd have to order a knock off

[need4speed39566]

@Reliccc Yeah I know. I've got a GReddy Type-S on my Foxbody. I didn't orden a knock off though haha just used

[notbydesign]

ok so can someone direct me to a list of what I need to do to get this done to my car? i would love this in a new car!

[Evilliboba]

Is that a ScanGauge on the left? If so, how do you like it?

[miguelramirez360]

How Much Did That Turbo Cost For Your Rx8?

[torba23]

God I can't w8 to put a Turbo into my rx-8

[akademiks604bc]

@torba23 best thing u can do is save up and get a t213b motor/turbo and trans way more power pllus the new rotays cant halde the abuse of a turbo well with out alot of mods

[torba23]

@akademiks604bc Thanks for the adivce.

[cobhc732]

GReddy Turbo <3

[TypeDoubleR]

gaijin = it means turn around, walk away

[lucifuge1968]

what's the annoying xmas jingles after each high rev ROFL

[BsktbllPlyL]

Sounds nice! i want to get one in my rx8 too :)

[Maziyar]

i have a problem with my rx 8 but dont want to get it checked out. it stalls when i try to go past 5,000 RPM's. just recently i was in 2nd gear automatic and pressed down the gas to take off so it went into 1st but stalled. the gears in the dashboard disappeared but the car still worked.  maybe its a computer issue since its in automatic? the car runs good but it doesnt take off like it used to. everytime i try to go faster it stalls into lower rpm....

[AwesomeMcTasty]

@Maziyar

That sounds very much like a clogged catalytic converter, which is a very common problem especially in the automatic RX8's. A quick way to test it would be to just take off the cat, and drive it around the block (but be warned, it'll be VERY loud). If the problem goes away, it's almost definitely the catalytic converter. If you live in a state that doesn't require you to pass emissions tests, you might just put a straight pipe on instead, otherwise a new cat will cost at least $700.

[tyrannical]

@AwesomeMcTasty cat is covered by the federal emissions warranty, I think that's 100 or 120k miles.

[akademiks604bc]

@AwesomeMcTasty it sounds great all i can hear is turbo spool no cloogged cat at all man ur dumb if u take off ur cats and drive like that will no pipes ull realy fuck up ur engine u can blow ur engine plus it probly wont stay started no back presure.

[AwesomeMcTasty]

@akademiks604bc

I didn't mean remove everything after and including the catalytic converter, I just meant replace it with a straight pipe (which is a common performance mod, so no it won't damage the engine).

[akademiks604bc]

@AwesomeMcTasty finny cause u change ur tune when u know i know ur ful of it

[akademiks604bc]

@AwesomeMcTasty plus that dont sound like a turbo it sounds like a turbo whitsle

[AwesomeMcTasty]

@akademiks604bc

Wait wait wait... how do you know what Maziyar's car sounds like? Stalling out at 5,000 RPMs is a very good indicator that the cat is clogged, so I suggested that that may be his problem. I'm not talking about the sound of the car in the video if that's what you're thinking, hence the reply to Maziyar.

[akademiks604bc]

@AwesomeMcTasty if the cat was clogged it wouldnt stall out it would have almost no power at all ud need to put the pedal to the floor but it wouldnt stall out

[empire15]

omnomnomnom Greddy ftw

[kloste1]

whats your setup? i want to turbo my 8 but i dont want to do any damage

[WessDragon911]

the 13b is already low compression, plus the housings nd rotors are different to the older 13b's... i jus love the sound of the renesis turbo tho omg

[THACHACHA]

hey bro i was planning on turboing my 8 by the end of this month and was wondering what turbo u running and has it given u any problems.. and if its treating ur car right..??

[xHaris16x]

nice

[glennvanderakt]

is this the stock 231pk renisis?

[coolmoney11]

does the mazda dealer mount youre turbocharger?

[CJRamze]

I was expecting to be alot faster when you were driving it.

Whats the power output?

[rjherche]

@CJRamze the Greddy TD06-18G turbo in stock form is pretty weak on this application

[xhosebx93]

whats that weird sound after you lay off the gas? nice car thoughh

[scandmx5atl]

damn you i just blew a load all over the desk

[TheClutch90]

That bov makes me want to punch you in the head

[dhillskier75]

i've been lookin into buying an rx8, and have been noticing diffferences in ones i've been looking at. some have a front lip spoiler along with extra side skirts on the back 1/4 of the car. what trim level or option has this?

[fatcamper]

sounds like my vacuum cleaner :P

[fapposkid]

@fatcamper sounds more like a wind chime ;P

[ddinusha]

thats tough man!

[CRich4321]

is that 16400k miles? how is that rotary still alive?

[Laffolmbo]

@CRich4321 If you change the oil and filter ever 3-5000 K's thats all a rotary wants.

Run a 2 stroke premix and add it into your fuel and disable your OMP oil injection if you're paranoid that your apex seals are going to go and your engine is not running right.

I've got piston cars that are less reliable, try doing a tappet and cam job on a VG30 (300ZX) Quad Cam because it pulled too much timing with a cold engine, hours of work on a car and a shoehorned engine that is not fun to work on.

[ivbeenshot]

O come on give that thing a dig !

[windson7]

ahh that first sound gives me an orgasm. I LOVE MAZDA

[tanabe4]

how can a bov get annoying thats the sound of power

[tanabe4]

that bov sounds amazing !!

[fighttillyoudie0]

Has the motor gave out yet?

[sparkola]

8lbs of boost shouldn't hurt anything as long as you keep the A/F on the rich side at boost

[Xiliph]

I'm not going to kid, this car sounds so good! Props dude, this thing is killer. I want one lol. I love it!

[schumm122]

watch as he gets 1 mpg lol

[jamaicanlovrboy]

Sounds like greddy BOV

[wnnarace]

Will putting a turbo void the warranty, just wondering

[WillJPalmer]

it got anoyin??.. mug

[djrecrem2k3]

so i hope you changed those rotors to lower compression rotors. if not your engine wont last long at all and good luck finding a shop that would swap the motor.

[tyrannical]

@djrecrem2k3 There are no low compression rotors for the rx8. The rotors are different from the RX-7, so you can't use them.

[boostin350z]

@djrecrem2k3 you port rotary motors mate. unfortunately for the renesis 13b the waterjackets sit too close that aggressive porting can cut into them and ruin the block. and a-spec in illinois can handle that

[akademiks604bc]

@djrecrem2k3 how in the fuck do u change rotors to lower compression?? wow this gusy it a tool

[levelvtl]

Sounds like the BOV of the Eclipse un Fast and Furious.... Veeery nice :P

[ArunaArtemisia]

heikönte echt so schön sein wenn mich einer vor dem allein sein rettet!

[JuanPapaNicolao]

nice how many PSI's

[OneEightyy]

Go race Dom... Best be in the next FF :)

[tanabe4]

that bov sounds really good props man

[strarscreamtheking]

wicked

[AVALANX]

u put in a new flywheel, cause it revs pretty quick?

[megaman2000]

@AVALANX Rotary Engines rev quickly anyway but I wouldnt rule out a lightened flywheel too!

[AVALANX]

@megaman2000 I know, its just that it revs faster than my RX-8...

[maybach6536]

why does it make that weird sound?

[megaman2000]

@maybach6536 Dump Valve.

[VidForUgUys]

nice sound...

[dudueloveass]

What is the gadget with the LED moving called ?

[Notchism88]

i think turbo boost monitor

[lukeman8934]

its the A/F ratio or the Air to fuel ratio, it can tell you if the car is running rich or lean, kinda helpful for tuning and racing.

[megaman2000]

@dudueloveass Bar Gage. Tells you how much bar the Turbo is currently running and and when you will be on boost.

[sk220691]

love the sound, it's so strange... a chainsaw with a laser from a sci-fi film being fired in the end?

[puffrooster]

this car sounds like a chainsaw!

[ethosflux]

What's the spool like with a GT3071R? When are you getting full boost?

[tyrannical]

@ethosflux can hit 12 psi at 2800 rpm. since cruising is usually done around 3500-4000 rpm, you're pretty much always able to get full boost.

[dethpig420]

@tyrannical I do not know very much about rotaries except for your basics, but in every video, I notice these RX8's temp gauge is always reading high. Why is that? Very nice car btw.

[tyrannical]

@dethpig420 Not sure what you are looking at, but my coolant temps are almost always in the 180F range. With the AccessPort I have the radiator fans programmed to kick on at a lower temp than stock so they don't get heat soaked then switch on.

[dethpig420]

@tyrannical It's above your air fuel ratio gauge to the upper right.

[tyrannical]

@dethpig420 look at 0:42 in the video, top left in the scangauge2. You'll see the coolant temp is 177F. On a stock RX-8, the radiator fans don't even turn on till somewhere around 200F.

[dethpig420]

@tyrannical hahaha thats a cool ass gauge. Yeah never mind its something to do with oil. My bad man.

[tbonespeed12]

@dethpig420 you were looking at the oil pressure meter on the right...

[danrichards23]

@dethpig420 i had all three gen. rx-7 and mine stayed at about 200.

[microbiccesar]

that is a real nice car you have there!!................

lol i have one myself. (stock)

what is ur 0-60 time?

[Freelancemonkey]

rx-8s have alot of potential. that rotory just needs a turbo on it to get anything done. it may take some money but a sequential turbo set up on a car that revs to 10k rpms and u have yourself a killer car.

[putrayusri]

wow.. like this car

[ParisHypocrisy]

damn thats a nice car

[EnrobsoMada]

damn that bov makes my ears hurt

[Wutecera]

my  RS4 is killin this honda shit without any funny tuning :P

[koglowa]

at 5 timmes the cost? i call that a win win scenario!

[marinosrxt]

... with only twice the cost !!!

[N0sPr4Yu]

get a better bov, otherwise the cars sexy :O

[Tsargate]

Buy a hymee pro tuner to tune your ECU once you buy a midpipe. Best performance for value : 0 to 60 less than 6 sec !

[tyrannical]

@Tsargate hymee is good people, but the car already has an accessport reflasher.

[Tsargate]

@tyrannical : ok indeed very good way to increase driving pleasure since the accessport seems to do the same job, we know less this product in France in fact ;).

[FMXHODDER]

I love how everyone who dose not relize it dose not matter the sound, its putting time and money into something to make it yours .. make it clean fast and fun.. No one gives a shit about F&F anymore..

[leejae]

Sounds annoying.

[subeefan]

y would you put anything from fast and furious onto your car? i know i wouldn't

[virensanchit]

great car.

but mazda still has a long way to even enter the leage of nissan and toyota

[wensis2006]

so not true

[virensanchit]

@wensis2006

a stock nissan gtr does 0-60 in 3.3secs.

a stock supra does it in 4.5.

i don't think there is any stock mazda dat can get close to that

[wensis2006]

nissan gtr (2009) yes..

supra ..5.3 0-60 ( the fastest export stock_supra available )

in japan stock just made it 5.7 0-60 ..

Mazda RX7.. 5.9 0-60

so what leage are you talking about?.."

Even mitsubishi gto twin turbo / 3000gt.. got it on 5.4 seconds.. :)

those where the cars in the leage...

don't tell me mazda didn't made it even close..

[virensanchit]

wow. someone found out about wikipedia.

relax dude.

i like te rx8 too.

okay?

[wensis2006]

-_- lol if you knew this all you wouldn't say they where out of leage ..

yeah rx8 is cool

[virensanchit]

i knew it. and i just compared all the nissan and toyota credibility to mazda.

you know....godzilla is a worldwide acceptance of japanese technology.

and supra is the only 6 cilinder car that can be upgraded all the way to 1200 hp.

so that's the leage i was talking about.

[wensis2006]

i see .. :) so then you waren't talking about stock cars at your early message? but only at there tuning capability's? cause then (my opinion) you forgot the mitisubishi..(3000gt) and yess you where right at the mazda's credibility alltough the rotary engine could get upgraded to above 1000hp.. :) but not as stable as a 6 cilinder.. one more question then.. what about honda nsx?

[SuperCereal90]

can someone please tell me how to make my rx-8 faster with a $500 budget. i know it's not much but i want to at least do 0-60 in about 5 secs. and i know adding a cold air intake would help but what else can i do?

[1weeboy]

air flow...

induction kit.. more air in..

exhaust system... let more air out...

weight.... strip interior... useless weight..

and most of all.. before you do your 0-60 run,,,,

HAVE A SHIT :p

[JflyG]

@1weeboy hahahahahahahaha.. i like the last tip

[1weeboy]

:D:D

[burnzemburger]

ECU,93 octain or better,intake and if u get a chance upgrade ur piping exaust dosent do anything except make a nicer sound....

[quicktime21]

wat dey all sayin is rite. but as my iinstructor said to me in auto mechanic school save some more and get a complete upgrade u will b more satisfied

[LDOG18987]

staright pipe headers spark plugs pullys ecu chip air intake some basic stuff

[unknownally]

Price of turbo kit? Comes with intercooler?

[jgargettij]

that BOV sounds badass

[jayguy173]

show us the turbo not just guages and scanguage you ricer

[tyrannical]

@jayguy173, if you weren't a ricer yourself, you'd know the turbo is right off the manifold. You can't see it without jacking up the car.
