Learning the Limits of Turbo RX8's With Kyle Mohan Racing

[@huffdesigner]

NO WAY!!!! I am so excited! Thanks so much for this video.......

[@Vipurs]

The collab we’ve all wanted! Awesome

[@AJZulu]

5:17 TUBES

[@RADPotential]

I missed that one.

[@CoyWhite]

This is indeed very rad.

[@usiak13]

Doweling should help with increasing strenght of engine block. It helps with 13b-rew, it should help in 13b-msp too. If I would go forced induction, I would go for purposedly built engine with street port, full dowel kit, rx-7 apex seals, sohn adapter to delete OMP. If I would have access to e85, I would use as protection against detonation. Or run high octane fuel with additives to increase octanes

[@Rayden-c1e]

Thoughts on a 3 rotor Renesis?

[@jarlnieminen4307]

I would love to see someone try it.

[@CKing724]

Best place to buy a turbo exhaust manifold for an 8?

[@KAPE4]

Could you run more boost with lower compression rotors?

[@mecanica-n46]

There is no better RX8 better prepared than that not by a Puerto Rican.

[@MissSharon-w8b]

is it worth me buying a extra engine that's blown up to train myself to rebuild it and when my original motor blows up pull it out on my driveway and replace it ?? and will a 231 engine fit in the 192 engine spot with the 5 speed transmission?? or should i just get another 192 ??

[@jo-qp7mz]

What about a big supper charger? Like a m112?

[@Rayden-c1e]

Can you use the RX7 front irons?

[@indianmarshmello.]

Dude, KMR + RAD is like Peanut Butter and Jelly, this is a dream come true.

[@redlinenissan372]

I had to do a double take on the thumbnail, awesome that you ended up meeting up with Kyle, will be very interesting to watch 👍🏻

[@Dakkie442]

new drinking game dropped. take a shot every time the guy says inherently

[@brij934]

What about e85? Can the stock ecu run it boosted?

[@cingkole7893]

KMR BABY!!! LETS GOOOOO

[@allthehandlesweretaken]

can the iron be reinforced. or is a bypass oil line and block of. the only option?

[@RADPotential]

I have talked to a bunch of people about welding to the iron and I think it will make it weaker.

[@allthehandlesweretaken]

@@RADPotential that sounds about right when it comes to welding cast iron

[@SoldfMC]

TiG-braze it with silicon bronze or something similar.

[@allthehandlesweretaken]

@@SoldfMC i didnt know what tig-braze was. so i looked it up. and appearantly it's not good for stuff the goes through heating cycles. because the braze material is diffrent than the cast iron.

[@allthehandlesweretaken]

and now i found a video that says you should use aluminium. even thoug it dosnt expand at the same rate. it's ductile enough to handle the stress.

[@brettspeed]

Great video with some excellent info. Now ..... how about doing a decent turbo setup instead of all the cheaping out?

[@RADPotential]

As much as I'd love to spend 10k on an rx8, I've got another car in mind that will be next level. And ultimately. The Hybrid engine will get the nice turbo and EMS.

[@brettspeed]

@@RADPotential A properly built Renesis with the right components and fuel makes an easy 380whp which is plenty for most street driven 8s . The reason the expectation for most is under 300 is because - people like yourself are promoting .... cheap cheap cheap! The hybrid turbo setup is a futile exercise IMO - Kyle even says in the video "past 400whp - do an REW swap".

[@RADPotential]

I agree with you completely. Most people don't want to spend the money to rebuild an rx8 let alone spend the money to build a quality turbo setup They just aren't worth anything. Ernie has a super nice turbo rx8, but his turbo cost more than most rx8s that are for sale here lol. Trust me. I am the guy who would rather have a 20k rx8 than a 50k FD, and I've been stacking parts and some money for the green rx8 to get a proper street turbo setup that will make it into your HP ballpark

[@brettspeed]

@@RADPotential You said it yourself - the RX8 has the best chassis. The fact that you can get them cheap is a happy coincidence! Means you have more money to create something awesome!

[@rickyse3p]

If youre ever interested in checking out a Renesis engine that has been not only modified with quite a number of boost reliability modifications, but enough to go after 400 horsepower, hit me up. I have a Brettspeed based build and im getting ready to tune my power runs in the next few weeks.

[@christophersnyder4354]

Any thoughts on a rear mounted turbo? plenty of room removing the exhaust.

[@RADPotential]

I think that would be a RAD setup!

[@isaiahquintanal2807]

Tubes and Turbos, there overboosting, i'm tuning but i still love you.

[@outkast187]

Did 550hp with rx8, but 13RE engine. It did awesome though.

[@user-fj4tn3qf7k]

Im done with rotaries, be happy is Mazda bring out its 3.3 L6 as a crate motor, its a Mazda JZ and no one is looking there yet.

[@indracook1910]

Hello Rad Kmr what numbers could we get from a modified 6port webber style intake manifold with 50mm ida throttle body a light flywheel and full sports exhaust? Thanks. Kangaroo. Aus.

[@burtonporter8437]

If you have to ask you’re gonna be disappointed

[@RADPotential]

On a renesis engine?

[@arcrotaryengineering7156]

You will lose 20-30hp , the rx8 intake makes the power for the engine I’ve done a few I’ll do plenty more, they just sound better, look better the rx8 engine bay is horrid Turbo renesis…. No holy grail, the internals are the problem not the port design Hi comp rotors Apex design weaker Weaker cranks, they go out on run out so easy Terrible low rpm oil pressure standard Cluttered engine bay, middle mounted engine makes it stupid trying to fabricate a productive system Basically if you want more than 250 whp for at least 30,000km don’t do it,

[@indracook1910]

I prefer a old school NA screamer motor maybe squirt some nosing it keep it chave you know of any big number NA renesis builds. This would be help sick with full weight reduction.

[@jarlnieminen4307]

Maybe in America where you can buy rotory engines for under $6k.

[@psychicer5022]

man this series is bad for me. my rx8 has lowish compression makin me want to turbo.

[@Mltchell]

20 views? Damn I’m early

[@RetroPursuits]

If you want to make the rx8 faster cut 300 lbs out. Could have a 2700 pound car. If you have 230 hp car at 2700 pounds it not bad.

[@noname-sd5dt]

Why wont my comments show on your channel?

[@yurcivicsux2245]

For anyone considering putting a turbo on their rx8 ….. sound advice just don’t. Not worth the cost, headaches and the final outcome.

[@henrylima6974]

So in other words the rx8 engine sucks. Iron issue alone is enough to keep it at 260 whp. Even if you do a hybrid build, the iron issue will still be there. Someone needs to make a billet iron for the rx8 and maybe they could get pushed a bit harder.

[@RADPotential]

With studs or 1 piece dowels you can push them further

[@khullguycr4418]

Not really just need studs that's it there is a lot of turbo Renesis out there with more that 300whp also there is one in Spain used for endurance races is about 400 whp on the highest setting and other ones to but for the street

[@burtonporter8437]

Shh 🤫 you’ll hurt the feelings Jk, I really like these cars I just wish they didn’t suck so bad that you can’t own one without losing money
