Gas Station Suprise! (Sleeper TURBO RX8)

Gas Station Suprise! (Sleeper TURBO RX8) was exactly that, a complete and total surprise! Pulling up to the pumps of this Aussie petrol station, we saw a couple clean looking rotaries but we had NO IDEA they were even modded at all! Once the drive popped the bonnet and we saw that massive GT45 turbo bolted to that almost equal size 20B rotary engine, our jaws dropped. Talk about a serious sleeper! After the driver gave us a few bits about the car, including the fact that it looks completely stock but puts out nearly 750hp, we HAD to get a ride in it. Lucky for us the driver was willing to not only oblige our addiction, but he was willing to put on a show for us too! We don’t run into a lot of rotaries done this well, but when they are done right they really earn some serious respect!

that's not a turborcharged motor, it's clearly a motorcharged turbo

[viasevenvai]

You bleep out the curse word but won't pixelate that turbo?

[mostlyirishcarguy]

The turbo is bigger than the engine holy shit.

[ketsis]

*That turbo is bigger than my future..*

[Shepard_AU]

It looks so clean. They even kept the stock wheels.

Aussie gearheads must be the luckiest guys on earth... they have access to JDM goodness, big ol' V8s and to top it all off, their domestic straight sixes -- those Barra engines are insane.

I'm so jelly right now!

"Cuz I'm an entertainer I'll have you hop out and I'll do a burnout"

[dill]

When the turbo is the same size as the engine

[dockfishing]

I wish more people here in the U.S. would do more rotary builds

[NoAffiliation]

Put a huge smile on my face. Good shit!

This is how it should be done..im 40 now but back in the day all the boys had, rx3,rx4,rx7,done the right way....always full bridge port, with Garrett turbo..or a billet build and tune. the good old days, good old memory's.

I may have shed a tear of appreciation. That is one beautifully sick and fast rx8. Just listen to that beautiful turbo spool. Dear Jesus that had to be one hell of an adrenaline rush from hell.

[madmick]

Watched this several times and never commented.
Do not mind a well done rotary and the fact it is owned by super friendly and happy kinda bloke makes it even better.

[TheFlatCapFromWN]

Everyone: What's the MPG of the car?

Mazda RX8: *No*

[thedivineprotectorofmangos]

Dude, I think you've got a car on your turbo

[kmart]

I think that’s the first time I’ve said “That’s a badass done
