Very interesting ... Was just having a conversation about what you could fit in an RX8 as they are super cheap at the moment ... about £600 will buy you as perfectly decent car with a dodgy engine.

Awesome. Looks like a decent amount of room to tuck two turbos up in there. :D

From what I recall Shandelle did state they are fabricating their own custom turbo kit for this. :slayer:

325HP stock. 620HP with 15psi of boost. With a forged engine and 20PSI...I sure hope that rear end can handle 800HP. What are the widest tires that will fit on the rear end without tubs? :D

BTW, I'd love to see this on the scales compared to the stock engine. It'd be interesting so see how much more/less that this combo weighs.



(Edited my above post to account for a more boost friendly compression ratio of 9.5:1 instead of the stock 11.5:1.)
