    I was actually standing behind the rx8 while it was idling and it was kinda loud, then he revved it up and I swear my ears popped.
    I took a video but it wont do that beast any justice at all!

    That is rotary porn right there. That intake setup is sex! Slide throttle for ITBs on a P-port 4 rotor with a custom airbox and fuel injectors pointed right at the middle of the intake trumpets. Amazing!

    What are the benefits of the rear radiator though? (Weight distribution?) And where is the oil cooler?

    ^^ Yeah, I drew a frame of a man running on each fan blade. That is him running at idle

    Yeah it was nice. Not sure of the rear radiator, maybe more room? I know a lot of road race cars do it that way, not sure of the benefits if any. As for the oil cooler I'm not sure where that is either.

    One of the most amazing 4 rotors I've ever seen. Wish it would have got to run. The redbull car was sick too!

    Weight distribution and it's less likely to get punctured if there were any contact with a wall or car.


    I was standing there when they had it idling and bliping the throttle. It was beautimus...but...since it was just a 13B x2 and only had 2 spark plugs per rotor...the sound was completely different than the true R-26B. I couldn't pull my eyes off watching the fuel injectors just dumping fuel right into the velocity stacks too. I was talking with the chic that was part of the crew about the various aspects of the car, how the e-shaft was made and how they're "tricking" the ignition timing by using two FD sensors and a custom timing wheel. I'd imagine that when they get that sorted out it'll make north of 700rwhp.

    yea that guy was awesome, I talked to him a bit about the car, a few 10 hour dyno days of tuning(if i remember right) and still trying to figure things out, and he was saying for insurance reasons the redline is at 8500 as of now. car is capable of so much more.
