Turbo on RX-8

[Herblenny]

Thanks Mazdamania!

Now its making my head turn

Hmm.. I tought about MAF based few years back and never thought about doing it as I didn't see any aftermarket computer I saw.

So, what you are saying is its possible to run REW with RX8 harness and EMS, with larger MAF to run higher boost (or push more air)?? I'm already thinking about getting 4 secondary LIM and using this system.. What do you think?? How about 3 rotor?? Any MAF EMS that might be able to run that??

Sorry about all these questions.. Obviously I know too little to get myself in trouble... And far as tuning, Is it that easy, just putting in n value?

You could do that.
The tuning is ALWAYS as simple as putting in a value.
The trick is knowing that value.
You do have to get the calibration for the MAF and other sensors right, also.

how about sequential system?? Do you see any problem running it?? or solution to it??

I feel like now I'm just picking your brain... SO, I apologize if its wasting your time..

You mean sequential turbo?
First, why?
Second, air is air. The motor doesn't care how it got there.

These days, the water-cooled, ball-bearing turbos are so fast and so powerful, there is no good reason for multiple turbos on a tiny motor like the rotary.
Now, a 7 liter V8 is a different story, but they do fine with a big BB turbo as well.
