Having 2 FC's, one LS and one 13b...I honestly can't say which one I like better. I've been around rotaries since I was born and I guess I know them well enough to not have issues with them. It gives the car character. Now, my turbo LS car is a different animal. Not even close to the same car. But is missing the rotary character.
Now, in saying that, the Renesis engine is poopy.

??? There are a few RX8's running around with LS engines. One here locally and at least 2 on this forum.

My sister has an 2004 RX-8 6 speed. Has a new exhaust system, a Cobb tuner, K&N Typhoon(not worth the money from what I have read)and thats about it. Doesn't really move to well, but handles pretty damn good. Whats a turbo on these things do? I say that a Supercharger from Petty(I think thats it's name)made it lose a few tenths to a 14.6(wow)so it can't make it run to much better. I know you gotta get them high as heck into the rpm band to make them do well. Sister is gonna sell it, I might want to take it off her hands and go road racing with it and then look into a LNF swap since I don't really want to cut up anything.
Turbo, what would it do for this 8...hmmm..
