I have a question. In the past if you wanted to put a turbo on a n/a rx-7 everyone would laugh at you and tell you the compression was too high to effectivly use a turbo.
As I undestand it the RX-8 has even higher compression. So how is a turbo going to work with it. I would imagine you would have to run minimal boost.
I wonder if enyone has tried putting lower compression rotors in the renesis yet?

You cant put lower compression rotors in the rx-8. Well unless you have good tooling to cut out the blow by ring. You are going to have to lower the compression on the stock rotors

i think low compression rotors are STUPID
its very simple high compression low boost
low boost high compression
you get one or the other unless you want high compression and high boost you need C16 all the time
a turbo renesis at 10psi of boost on a T04 should be more power than a regular 13B so around 400hp
