950 HP RX-8 anyone?

29 Jan 2005

950HP RX-8 Engine Bay

Marcos Acosta Jr. has swapped out the Renesis for a 3-rotor 20B with a Garrett T76 dual ball bearing turbocharger which, with many other modifications, makes a monster out of a Mazda RX-8:

Once all the parts were bolted together and screws tightened and double checked, the Acosta Racing crew set out for the automotive equivalent of the lie detector test – the dyno. With the turbo boost restricted to a mild 12 psi, the rollers on the dyno spun to a reported 640 hp. According to Acosta Jr., it didn’t take long before Acosta Sr. had the 3 rotors humming along to the tune of 950 hp on VP C16 race fuel and at 28 lbs of boost.

I’ll take two, please.

I just bought an RX-8 and would really like to have more power but I don’t know where to start I don’t have all the money that some might. asking you cause 950 HP sounds like a grate thing, something that I’d like but for now what would be the cheapest way to get 50 HP out of my stock 1.3L rotary engine I’m thinking a turbo my girlfriend thinks I’m crazy and that it’s fast enough but I need more can you help me with some ideas. I love the car it corners grate but is just not fast. And I hate to say that about my car. All I want is to beat my roommates G35 and have him wondering what happened if you could help me with this. We haven’t raced yet but he’s cocky, he Say’s he knows he’ll win and I’m sure he would but maybe with your help he won’t.
