speed force pawns!

Thanks for the link, Tim

I wish I had SpeedTV...

DirectTV decided to give me TWO lifetime channels instead.:banghead:

DirectTV has SpeedTV. And in HD

Yeah I just didn't feel like spending all the extra cash to get it. And the standard package, at least our standard package, has two lifetime channels. Oh well...to RSD's house to watch!

SFR, what were you guys using on your kits again? A 60-1? I always figured we'd have more people on this site with your kit, you guys get rave reviews from other communities.

When does this air?

S. TV doesn't have it on their schedule yet.

they continually got bashed, insulted, and otherwise treated poorly when they came here iirc....

They do?

yea, they did, everyone kept saying their kit sucks, blah blah

and then they made national headlines a couple of times, then everyone shut up

The only thing I remember about them (besides their dyno, which is pretty good) is the video of them "testing" the turbo on a public road with traffic.

hehe, i remember that video, i think it's still on their site :)

yeah, i dont recall who or why, but i seemed to have the notion that they caught a lot of crap and just left...? i dont mean the, show us specifics, numbers, talk tech stuff, i mean the just blatently got bashed on. i could be WAY off the mark, i dunno, its been a while...

More or less that is a pretty accurate statement.It didnt stop us from selling kits though:) It just seemes like it wasnt worth the hassle that we were getting to keep posting on he boards as often as we would have liked.Wenever left the boards and we would come on here and give updates.We had a one year update,then a two year update and then I think a three year update,etc.......We still produce a high qaulity kit and there are enough of them out their now that alot of people recognize what we can do.It seems as though the boards have calmed down a bit since then too.

Are you still using the PowerMod?

But does RSD have it in HD? I can't remember. All I know is that I do now. And that I rule.

I assume this is the car? Says you are sponsoring them...

Good luck!

Do you have any new dyno plots of your kit? I did see the one from your website but it's the same from a couple years back.
Really like your kit btw :)

The rally ends in Vegas, so all you local 8 owners should show up to the finish line to cheer them on :)

This is correct my friend. Dan is crazy.He bought a turbo kit form us last year.Then he went out and bought an 07' RX8.Gave it to a shop in Canda(which works on American muscle) for two days to do the install.Picked it up as soon as it was completed. Drove to New York for the Great American Run and then proceeded to blast 3000 miles across the country in it four days. Who hoo!

One of our customers dynoed the car with more tuning and extra boost at 363WHP on a dynojet but I never got a copy of the chart:rant: The thing is when we isntall the kits here,we dont run more then 9-10 psi because we are using 91 octane and want a customer to be able to get in his car and drive 3000 miles with the pedal to the metal without thinking about it.

I am going to try to make it but we are having the memorial services for my mother on that weekend.

When does this air?


I am not sure.I know it is scheduled for six episodes and I suspect it will be a month or two after the event.

What ever happened to that kid from SD ..the blak rx8 with CF veilside kit..i remember one year he came to sevenstock without any kind of tune at all..he also had a 6 point rollcage that wasn't bolted down..haha

Congratulations to SFR and Tim for the turbo kit to get featured on Speed TV!

I am running Tim's kit with Microtech ECU, it works great. Power and torque are very good in RX-8 term. I shall post a dyno chart once I received from my tuner.

The kit in general is pretty good, however if SFR could include a larger radiator in the package would be perfect for the hot climate countries, ie. Hong Kong.

Tim, how are you doing with my tail lights?? Can you send them out to me ASAP?

I am glad you had a chance to do some fine tuning.The last guys that did the tuning on it,never worked on an RX-8 before so they seemed to have set the boost low and leaned it out a bit.Thanks for your help Jason:) Dan said the car is running great and real smooth but he hasnt opened it up since he left your shop because the cops are looking for them.LOL.

that guy is a little nuts.

I was personally able to see this car in Cedar Rapids, Guy bought my blue dome lights. His car is pretty sick too.
i have some pics
