Rotormaster in Sydney has a supercharger kit for the RX8 it utilise the standard exhaust and everything but has a substantial powe rincrease.

I believe a pro Charger is used which is sourced from the states

I have had interest in hearing more about this for a long time, but there seems to be very little information on it around... So far I have only found this:

From http://www.rotormaster.com.au/subPage.asp?cid=64

"Ready to roll...The New Rotor Master RX8 "Supercharger" Kit Supercedes the Stage 1 Turbo Kit!

RXmstr84.jpg

After much research & further development to transform the RX8 Renesis Rotary Engine's power output, the crew @ Rotor Master are estatic with the results of their recently completed Stage 2 RX8 Kit with Joe opting to sideline the Turbo for the Pro-Charger!

The first Aussie assult on an RX8, Rotor Master first introduced the Stage 1 Turbocharger kit some 12 months ago & despite the unquestionable power gain, Joe & the crew still sought to increase performance levels.

So why the switch?

The GT 28 Turbo as used in the RM8 TurboChager Kit did not generate sufficient airflow & there was excessive exhaust pressure... enter the ProCharger with zero exhaust pressure and three times more air flow - a result on par with what you would expect from a TO4 Turbo!

Sheer determination coupled with persistant hard work has now produced a better overall product resulting in a kit now capable of producing a 303 rear-wheel horsepowered RX8!

(226 rear-wheel kilowatts on just 6 psi of boost with the car still revving to ten grand)... a relishing delight!

In terms of ECU, the kit is operational using a piggyback interface unit that manipulates the factory input sensors to obtain desired output (ignition & fuel delivery) when required - it all just simply plugs into place.

Enticed Yet?

So what's in the Kit?

The Rotor Master SuperCharger Kit includes a US-made ProCharger C-2, a DNA Motorsport PowerMod piggyback ECU, Front Mount Intercooler & Mounting components. The Rotor Master Kit is a ready-to-go kit that bolts into place with no major modifiaction work required - in fact installation (drive in-drive out) requires less than one days work!

Priced at AUS $11,900 in boxed form (ready to install) the SuperCharger kit is modest value with a 200+ kW rear wheel result with a standard exhaust system ensuring noise maintained at an appropriate level.

Plans for a Stage 2 SuperCharger Kit inclusive of an aftermarket fuel pump, larger injectors, aftermarket ignition systems plus smaller pulleys for around 10-12 psi of boost are already in motion. The Stage 2 kit hypothesised at producing over 400 rear-wheel horsepower, or around 300 rear-wheel kilowatts!"

Does anyone have any extra info?

    • It's so pretty, but I cry at the price (this setup was about $7,500 USD)  
    • Yep, I installed it, the sensors, wired everything up so things like the factory blinkers work etc. Fortunately it's not a hard job, just time consuming sorting the wiring out.  If you think this dash is nice, you should check out the actually sexy dashes lol. There would be a fair few people out there that think the IC7 is ugly.  The new and sexy Haltech dash -  https://www.haltech.com/news-events/uc-10dash/ Here is a, I hate having money option from Motec -  https://precisionracing.com.au/product/motec-c1212-display/
    • @Murray_Calavera ohhh.myyyy.gawwwwd 😍 that dash is so much cleaner.  yeah I’m someone who loves older cars, but hate using old tech. A digital dash would always be the way forward. Did you install that yourself?  Thanks for the explanation on oil pressure. I’ll just take it as reference.    Also, your engine light is on 😅😅😅
    • @DraftySquash Yeah... maybe think of those gauges as a super rough estimation of oil pressure and engine temperature.  If you want to see your actual engine temp and oil pressure, you're going to need an aftermarket solution. I'll post a photo of my dash, this is a much neater solution in this day and age. I can't think of any reason why someone would start adding individual gauges.  So grab your dash, then add sensors for all the extra things you want to see.  As for what to expect from oil pressure, super quick run down = cold oil, higher pressure. hot oil, lower pressure. Low revs, lower pressure. higher revs, higher pressure. The values will change based on the viscosity of oil used, the actual temperature of the oil, the type of oil pump used, then more nuanced stuff like clearances in the engine. 
    • Should run up to about 6 or so at high revs. But the stock oil pressure gauge is a piece of shit and can't be trusted, so make few to no decisions based on what you see it do.
