Yes, however the exhaust manifold makes it awkward to fit a turbocharger. It is more common to place Supercharger in this car.

What is better 2009 RX8 r3 with turbo kit or 2010 Camaro lt2 with rs?

"You cannot put a turbo on an rx8, it is naturally aspirated, and you will probably blow the roter" This is incorrect. Wankel Rotary engines have had factory naturally aspirated, as well as turbocharged variants. Here's a review on a pro tech turbo kit for the Mazda rx8, keep in mind that the engine is the same in the older rx8 and slightly refreshed '09 model. http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/car/06q3/protech_performance_rx-8_turbo-specialty_file Greddy, re amemiya, and many a handful of Japanese tuners offer aftermarket rx8 turbo kits with modest horsepower gains. Although the rx8 is fast enough to keep up with a new v6 Camaro in stock form The answer to your question, in short, relies on the fact that while both may be considered sport coupes, they do have two overall different experiences. Both are within half a second of each other when it comes to 1/4 mile performance times. The Camaro, having the larger V6 will easily be the most livable in daily driving situations, as it has a larger power band and low end torque. While both cars may pull similar brake performance numbers, and skidpad numbers, the rx8 weighs significantly less, giving it a very good handling and brake feel. If you mean the Camaro SS with the RS package, when it comes to straight line performance, there's no comparison. The Camaro is easily the clear winner, even if you turbocharge the rx8 (turbo rx8's have difficulty finding a good launch RPM without bogging down or over revving and spinning the tires) In short, you must drive both. Keep in mind that the camaro will retain a factory warranty, while the rx8 will have questionable reliability, and added expense of having to purchase a turbo kit, and install it or have it installed by someone else. But the Rx8 is more a drivers machine, and camaro is a stoplight special along combined with a great looking cruiser.


What type of engine does the Mazda rx8 have?

Dual rotor, four spark plug, side ported rotary engine. Between 170 and 200 RWHP stock with a 9,000RPM rev limit for the manual 6 speed and 7,200 RPM limit for the automatic transmission..
