RX8 turbo install pics
By request here are the pics of S2000boy's RX8 turbo install. Eric was once a S2000 owner and needed a car with a little bit more room . After purchasing the RX8 found that it lacked grunt and decided to boost it . This should have been done at the factory . This kit gives the car exactly what it was missing . We did not dyno the car but they claim 240hp at the wheel . Not a rocket ship but a very fun ride with lots of midrange torque.
It is a very tight fit in the lower passengers side of the motor ,next to the motor mount.
Mounting the intercooler and piping.
Intake pipe before mounting the blowoff valve. ( This kit does not come with one )
After welding on the blowoff.
I custom fabricated a new plexi lid for the airbox to make it look more finished, Greddy just doesn't put the airbox back. This looks much cleaner. And we got the idea from Greddy's own car at SEMA.
