If you planned on tracking the car and wanted more power, but didn't want to go forced induction, why did you buy an RX-8?

A turbo kit for an RX-8 is more than worth it, anyway.

because of the side port design of the renesis engine, a lot of people are having good luck with supercharger kits. if you want an engine swap, you could look into either motors out of the cosmo. the 13b-re and the 20b are both good swaps, but you need deep pockets to drop either one in.
