[quote name='rowtareh' date='May 5 2005, 07:30 PM']How big is the oil cooler? Are we talking FC size or bigger? The FC's oil cooler is pretty big from what I have seen. Which is only an FD and FC cooler.



They are just so damn sexy. I am trying to convince the g/f to get a used one, but she is not budging yet.

rx8 radiator is a little taller than the fd and thick like the fc or 99 fd, but its a bunch wider than either.



the -8 uses 2 oil coolers that are each larger than the fd unit. they are prolly 2 inches taller each. and theres always 2 of them, unless you have the at.

 

It's awesome, how at just 7 psi(Greddy kit), with a basically stock efi setup it puts down 240-270whp. What do FD's usually put out stock? 210-220? Anyway...technology is great.

 

Great stuff on the renesis. This should be pinned I think.



I think I may have to purchase one when the price goes down. I wonder if Mazda will put out a turbocharged RX-8 in the future, since it is doing pretty well with the Greddy kit. Well as in putting out decent hp, don't know about the engine lasting as long?

 

hey...how much are you willing to spend...I've seen used ones as low as $18k

yah, look on ebay

 

I did 4 hard auto-x runs on a +/- 30 second course last weekend which caused the reservior tank to boil over and I lost about 1/2 gallon of coolant. It was about 80 degrees outside and it was kinda embarassing even though I ran really well in the auto-x and was beating the g35's and the 350z's they all came over and where like WTF is that leaking out of your car did you blow a hose or something?

 

That must have been fun

 

yeah the stock rx-7 fd's ran like 210-240 hp or something to the wheels, turboed



but



they also were quite prepared for being turboed, and having to drop a few thousand bucks for a turbo kit on a car that's already 20-30k doesn't seem like that great of a thing to me. The renesis still has to lower that compression a bit, and to slap on that supercharger. Once it does that i think it will be a complete beast. I'd love to see what it could handle when it gets that mazdaspeed touch.
