So it seems the pre order thread for the MM/BHR turbo kit has been deleted. Anyone know whats going on with this?

I talked to Ray earlier today: Kit is still a GO!
Might have been axed since it was SOOOOOOO off-topic.

oh ok....i was getting worried--it's the only kit I want to buy/am buying

stay tuned for some very cool updates to that Kit. :D:

damn you to hell Jedi! making me all jealous and stuff

what updates /??:)

damn you to hell Jedi! making me all jealous and stuff
Ray called me earlier today, I was ordering some stuff, the conversation got side-tracked and next thing I know we're talking about the BHR Turbo Kit.
I'm sooooo tempted. :D:

what updates /??:)

don't worry guys, Ray isn't reinventing the wheel here.
Him and Jeff already have a badass Kit, just finalizing a few things.

Patience my yount Padawans, patience.
I'm sure Ray will update all of us soon.

:)

I can't wait, I hope it's going to be released soon.

oh...and why don't I know about any updates?! As far as I know, I'm first on the pre order list!

If you want it done right without cutting corners and be in stock when you order it it will take time. Not long but not tomorrow. You'll get it. From what I am hearing from the horses mouth you will be happy. But what do I know

That thread just got side-tracked and was causing more confusion that enlightenment.
It was just a feeler, anyway.
The "official" thread is forthcoming.

MM, you always have the best avatars.

Question is will I be able to swing by MM's place to finger his manifold...on my way thru to CA...haa

Uh, eew.

Uh, eew.

Aww...several beers later and I'm sure you wont notice me playing with your snail...haa

K...I'm grossing myself out now...ha

I'm eagerly awaiting more news about the kit as well. Talked to Charles R a bit via PMs about it, and I'm on pre-order list as well.

:SHOCKED::eek::puke::lol2:

We are focusing on the Yukon coil kit and will get to the turbo kit next.

Hurry up slacker. Too much sun and play time going on over there?;)

Yep.

I have a PM from CRH saying the kit would be available around March - must be 09 you were meaning ?

I have one sitting right here. Do you want it?

well i havent researched this kit and it sounds interesting but is there a thread that i can read up more on it..??? i typed in BHR turbo and nothing comes up

Do you mean the Greddy upgrade kit or a full kit ?

Full kit.
Modified manifold and downpipe, intercooler, all piping, modified AEM CAI, Garrett 3071r turbo, Synchronic BOV, oil and water lines, hoses, hardware, fittings, couplers, clamps and a pre-programmed AccessPORT.
Brand new.

please don't sell to bret pls dont sell to bret

and a pre-programmed AccessPORT.
.

JDM compatable ?

Taj - why don't you want me to have it ?

Yes.

Brett had other priorities and withdrew his support of the MM/BHR system some months ago.

Will the kit be available to check out when I wander thru your area...

I seriously want to finger your manifold...and manhandle the CAI...heh

It's the part BHR is getting custom fabbed by Greddy right?

Its a regular GReddy manifold with customized flanges.

It's the part BHR is getting custom fabbed by Greddy right?

Major politics on that front right now and we are working a couple different angles. Either way, the manifold will be backed by my usual policy.

Those "priorities" have now taken care of themselves and I'm back in the market . I've always liked your kit - it's you I have a hard time with :lol:

Its the price of admission. I don't allow for crap thinking.
If you are going to make a choice, make it wisely and use logic, not emotions.

And I have a hard time dealing with someone who believes he is beyond reproach , yet when legitimately confronted , refuses to abide by his own rules of engaugement . That being - using facts to argue a point(and instead resorting to insults & sarcasm) .
You know the thread I'm talking about .
I invite you to go back into that thread and tear my argument/maths whatever to shreads - no sarcasm, no insults , no headbanging , just facts to back up your argument ...... all the information you need is in the thread - do it .

Oh and BTW - I apologise in advance for my comment about you in the thread- not my style at all normally - I was reminded of a certain video when I made it .

uh oh--where's the popcorn

:boxing_sm

Because you'll have all the time for emoting later...you know...when your dead and stuff...

Make this part of your promotional material for the kit:

Where's the truth in your "dyno comparison" thread? There's nothing in that thread that proves to me that there is any real objective comparison going on. You have a bunch of lines drawn on one sheet. Each of those lines could have been generated at different temperatures/elevations, with different modifications. Coincidentally the guy who takes ownership of said dyno comparison sheet also sells the product that produces the best curve.



MM/BHR Turbo, So good, the competition thinks it's imaginary.

MM/BHR Turbo, not objective, just fast. Real fast.

Or...

Nice one, man! They should totally hire you as their marketing director.

Seriously, hope you guys sell hundreds of these things.

OK...I cant stand not knowing...maybe we can start a new thread...but I seriously have to know just because the curiosity is killing me...

Whats your dysfunction?

Seriously...is it like a personality trait? Or are you angry at something? I cant possibly imagine your an ass all the time...that requires too much energy...so you either feel pissed and jaded...or your simply screwed up...

I cant help but be driven to understand things...and you have caught my attention...

New thread?

:)

Sarcastic or not, I thought he made a decent post.

I quoted him because I thought it funny, but I can easily see it also being viewed as something other than that.

It does look like an endorsement though. :)

In other threads, I might agree with you, twinkie.

I guess I simply saw it as humorous...but then again I watch those human catastrophe reality shows for the lulz...

The first part was sarcasm. The second part was serious (hence the "seriously").

I have no anger, and am not pissed or jaded. I thoroughly enjoy life, and all the wonderful things it has given me; life is too short to be pissed and jaded.

While you're making judgments though, why don't you focus your judgements on your friend here? He has over 10,000 more posts than I do, and I would wager a pretty good percentage of them are negative or belittling towards someone else.

That takes quite a bit of energy.

Regardless what you think of me, I'm totally serious. I hope they sell hundreds of these things. If they do, I may finally get to see a turbo RX-8 do something in person besides sitting and trying to look pretty.

I have a hard-on for RX-8s; I don't care if they're turboed, supercharged, nitroed, or NA. I like them all.

MM PM'ed...

I want the BHR/MM kit. I sent you a PM a few weeks ago - haven't heard anything back.

That's because we are going to release the Yukon coil kit and fill all 100 pre-orders before we then focus on the turbo kits.

Sparks then boost.

100 pre-orders! massive chunk of change right there.

That's because we are going to release the Yukon coil kit and fill all 100 pre-orders before we then focus on the turbo kits.

Yeah, but that post with MM saying he has a full kit there got me excited.
I going to do something sensible with all this money if I wait too long. :)

Along those lines; the kit is in a bit of a "transition" in the sense that it was an "upgrade" kit intended for current GReddy owners and it is gradually becoming it's own stand-alone, all-inclusive, kit. With the time it takes to procure each/all of the components necessary for a quality kit I want to first handle the coil orders so I/we can then devote all my/our time to making the BHR kit as nice as we would like it to be. I realize that both the coils and turbos are taking a loooong time but we are doing what we can given the challenges we have been facing lately.

This particular kit - the one I have in my possession at this time - is a good demonstration of the way things get done around here.
It is, for all practical intents and purposes, the exact same system that is on my car right now.
And, it is also functionally identical to what will be the BHR system.

What is different about it is precisely what is different about Charles and I.

He sees a need and finds the right people to get the job done.
I see a need and I break out the angle grinder and the MIG.

For the production system to be successful, BHR will source suppliers for all of the individual components and put it together.

However, you have to start somewhere with a "prototype", and the system that is sitting on the floor of my living room is just that.
I sourced all of the parts the hard way and put it all together as a bit of "proof of concept".
Well, the concept is proven (to us, anyway) and I'd just like to get the stuff out of my living room so that I can paint the place!

I'll post up some pictures and such in a little while. I still have a few "we owe" to take care of and all the calibration stuff for the AP has me completely tied down at the moment.

But if anyone is serious about this kit (I don't mean offers or inquiries), feel free to e-mail me at jeff@mazdamaniac (.com).

This kind of posts, both yours and Charles', represent the kind of product you're going to put out for us.
You are always one damn step ahead!

That's because we are going to release the Yukon coil kit and fill all 100 pre-orders before we then focus on the turbo kits.

I forsee late nights of sitting around making and packaging ignition kits! (that's a good thing)

I would so pick up a kit from jeff if I got rid of what I have right now... :eyetwitch

:eek:

Just to stay another step ahead of the masses; I rarely answer questions about the specific parts that will be included because the kind of intake or exact BOV that will be used is far less important than the main component.......the turbo. MM has a custom turbine and CHRA that he orders from Garrett which makes this particular 3071R a bit different than others on the market. Ancillaries like the intercooler, etc., are much simpler to acquire by comparison so I am not concerned. One thing I can assure you of is that the list of companies from whom we procure our parts reads like a "Who's Who" in the aftermarket and we don't believe anybody will be disappointed.

Again, I realize we have spent a LONG time discussing this stuff but only in the past month or so has BHR gone from a 2-guy operation 2,000 miles apart to a 3-man operation a mere 20-30 minutes from one another. I have spent more time in the past two weeks with MM and Easy than I have the previous 12 months, total. You can rest assured that once I move into the new crib (had a 1-week delay on the move-in) the progress will accelerate on all products.

Well, the concept is proven (to us, anyway) and I'd just like to get the stuff out of my living room so that I can paint the place!


Sooo...if i stop by on monday and paint your living room...I can take the kit with me...DEAL!

That would be a lot of painting.

Half of it...been waiting patiently for something else to...be...completed...in order to achieve my goals...

:suspect:

would i be able to buy this "kit" without the greddy components?

would i be able to buy this "kit" without the greddy components?

im pretty sure thats the point of said 'kit'... take the greddy kit, replace the turbo and all the cheapish junk parts with qulity stuff and a bigger better snail.

of course im betting that fianl production versions of this kit will have unique piping etc and no longer be a "greddy upgrade" as it once developed from. the principal is the same though

what i'm trying to ask is, if i have the greddy kit, can i just buy all the upgrades? i know i can get the turbo upgrade and the AP, but what about the CAI?

what i'm trying to ask is, if i have the greddy kit, can i just buy all the upgrades? i know i can get the turbo upgrade and the AP, but what about the CAI?

oh IC.. cai you may be able to buy something Jeff can fabricate for you, or Mazsport sells a Greddy kit CAI, or you can do it yourself with the AEM CAI and make it work

what i'm trying to ask is, if i have the greddy kit, can i just buy all the upgrades? i know i can get the turbo upgrade and the AP, but what about the CAI?

You can get a used Gen 1 K&N MAF housing (they are getting hard to find now) or get the AEM CAI and modify it (isn't hard) to work.

what i'm trying to ask is, if i have the greddy kit, can i just buy all the upgrades? i know i can get the turbo upgrade and the AP, but what about the CAI?

if you have the Greddy kit already, you can just buy the upgrade kit: http://www.mazdamaniac.com/upgrade/MazdaManiac%20GReddy%20Upgrade.html

Yes, the upgrade kit is said to be very good, though I've never seen one......

modify the AEM or have Jeff make one for ya
