It's in development dude. Give him a chance to line things up before focusing on the aesthetics.

 

This install is very rough not even close to the final brackets/mounting hardware.
RP is getting restless to get the AFSC up and running so he can get some actual hp/tq numbers out of the engine on the test stand.

 

Anything new here?

 

I'm concerned about spraying enrichment fuel so far upstream. Honda intakes are not designed for wet operation, and with Nitrous/fuel sprayed upstream one or more cylinders tend to lean out. Will the kit include appropriate manifolding for wet operation, or will their be enough heat to keep the fuel fully vaporized?

 

What do you think.. Go to RX8club.com and check out the ridiculously long thread over there.

By the time he gets the S2000 one going, the car will be no longer in production

I'm no longer a believer. This thread needs to be locked until he actually comes up with a product.

That's my opinion and I'm sticking to it

The additional fuel will be added before the compressor.
The high number of stators and rotor blades will beat the crap (mixing) out of any fuel added causing a greater amount of fuel vaporization than could be accomplished by adding the addition fuel with just the injector.

The AFSC I think was only going to run 6lbs of boost on the RX8 with a larger compressor going on the s2k to increase the boost to approx 8psi max in the high range. Any more than about 8psi even with the high efficiency of this compressor heat of compression may become an issue that is why the fuel is being inject so far up stream of the intake ports to help reduce the IAT because of the heat removed from the air stream due to the latent heat of evaporation of the fuel RP is not going to design a compressor that will sacrifice reliability for more hp/tq.



There is a point of diminishing returns when it comes to forced induction.
Adding more boost does not necessarily always increase the HP/TQ output.
I have always been of the opinion more flow (mass) with less boost is better than high boost (high heat/less mass).
Its not the boost that increases the output its the increases in mass flow rate ingested in the engine.

 

lol well, I had been strongly considering a RX8 awhile ago and read that entire thread, every single post. Lemme go check it out and see the updates.
