Hi Paul
I finish to renovate my new house and ready to go back on my project.
I will stay with p port intake and install turbo but i want to built my own drive with ford diezel trans 5R110W planet gear system.
the gear system is bigger then the E40D WITH RATIO OF 2.48.-6 pinion planet system Drum size 5"+
I look on the Slauson catalogue but i found a better price on EBAY

I intend to cruise at 6200 rpm approx and i would like to know the HP at this rpm for rx-8 pport and turbo.
i will also appreciate your comments

I think that gear set is overkill and too heavy.
Several people have used the A4OD set with three rotors.
One with a turbo 3 rotor. The ratio is not as good
as it is only 2.48 rather than 2.85.

Send me a dwg of the rest of the gear box.

The HP you get will depend on the boost. The fuel
burn will determine that at cruise. Figure a half pound
of fuel burned for every HP you choose. Fuel weighs
about 6.25 pounds per gallon.

P-port 2 rotors have been easily boosted to 400 HP
or more. Obviously you don't want to burn that much
fuel at cruise.
