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?

    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
