Tim asked:

Does the RX8 have turbos?  How are they claiming 250hp out of the 1.3L
without turbos?  Nothing in their literature or on the web for the RX8
mentions turbos, and the local (loco?) dealer says it is n/a.
Thanks.

Paul Lamar responded:

No turbo's yet. They run the piss out of it... up to 9300 RPM.
The intake ports are 30% larger and the exhaust ports are 100%
larger than the 1993 and up RX7's. The rotors are lighter weight.
Thats about it.

You forgot the multi-segmented, switchable, tuned intake.

That is pretty much the same as the six port.
