I searched and found nothing... Is this new?

The Blitz Compressor has been discuessed several times for almost a year now. I don't think anyone has any hard figures as to what HP gains it has etc.

yeah, it kinda fell off the radar like so many other kits.

Still in "development" I think. ;)

not for the rx8 though but they also have a twin compressor kit, thats crazy. From there if grid the acceleration is pretty choppy down low, wonder why.

Actually.. it's funny this was brought up.. Blitz has an ad in this month's super street.. says rx8 compressor "coming spring 05".. has a blitz sponsored 8 in the ad, also features their electronics stuff.. pg 164-165 bottom half both pages..

They keep delaying the introduction to US market, last letter I recieved showed fall 2004...however as always jdm has had kit avail for some time now. I have seen recent ad showing spring 2005. I will not hold my breath for this one

They have less reason to rush one out here.. no one has a competing kit yet.. I bet if petit got their tuning issues taken care of, blitz would move their release schedule up :)

any word from HKS on FI?

The kit is set to be released spring of 05. There is actually an article for it in the new Super-street. Looks like an awesome kit. Greddy has there turbo kit coming out hopefully at the same time. We will stock them bolth and i'll be working to get you guys some kind of deal to finally get some Force Inducted 8's!

SWEEEEEEEEEEETTTTTTTT........ VividRacing is back in a big way :) That would be awesome....

I cant wait until one of these kits comes out... We have been waiting such a long time for this to come out... The 350Z has too many kits as it is haha.. We need at least one available to us...

Which Super-Street? I looked and could not find any article...

Sorry, Its not really an artcile more of an Add with some info. Its mid magazine on the right page Lower half. Its a Dark Black or Charcol RX-8 with some Graphics and some Blitz rims.

was just talking to my tech at mazda..he mentioned that mazdaspeed was developing a mazdaspeed supercharger that would retain the warranty if it is installed my mazda.. would rn about 2 to 3 grand tho

lol--if only he knew what he was talkin about.

i just took him at his word after seeing the sema car

Wow. 2-3 grand and keep your warranty. If that comes out somebody better pinch me because I guarantee I'd be dreaming.

OK where did ZAKU get 26kg.m from?

it should be in that site somewhere, probably in japanese.

Not that this means anything, just figured I would post it... from Dec 2004 Super Street

WOW! I cant wait, Thanks webba az.

Man I cant read Japanese and my Japanese to English book sucks...

yeah this is the system i'm waiting for. is that the oil cooler in front or is it a intercooler (in that pic)?

If you have to pay $2-$3 thousand for a warranty that is just ridiculous. That warranty period is only a couple of years too. If you blew up a transmission it would only cost you about $600 to fix. Any other car parts shouldn't add up to that much in a couple of years. You'd better have a pretty damn unreliable car to justify a couple of thousand in warranty or repair work in such a short amount of time. For that price I'd just forget the warranty and take my chances. Odds are that you'd come out way ahead this way.

i think he meant that the sc was going to be 3k i think...

a old pic i dug up... funny the're using a roots type instead of a more effecient screw type charger, why?

OK where did ZAKU get 26kg.m from?

It's still there:

In the bottom of the picture of Biltz supercharger, there's a table, see the right side: トルク：ブリッツ 26kg・m
the japaneses you can't read is the "torque"

yeah this is the system i'm waiting for. is that the oil cooler in front or is it a intercooler (in that pic)?
Yea me too. I think I would lean more to the SC then a Turb. I dont know.

Cool thanks guys.

Hi, I deal directly with Blitz North America. According to Bobby and William over there, The Blitz S/C kit is due March 2005. List MSRP will be around $6,500 for the kit however that is not set in stone. Now keep in mind, all the S/C kits they have released in US such as 00+ Celica, and the Scion Xa/Xb have had in past delays mostly due to having to create new software for US spec vehicles. As of now i have no HP or torque gains. This is not fact, but i do not think they have numbers yet for US spec RX8.

When the kit is available we will be stocking, and anyone can order from Matt @ http://www.rx8garage.net

hope this helps if no one listed this.

WHguy

thats great news... 6500 is a bit steep, better be some good gains.

$6500...that's too bad, I was hoping this kit would be reasonably priced. Oh well, I've waited this long, I'll just wait for the competition.

I get all excited when news of FI comes across the forum. I have been disappointed so many times... I would like just to see a FI kit on the market, affordable or not. Just to be able to purchase one and maybe just maybe it would give all these other guys with quote "kit in the works", a kick in the pants to finish their kits. I know there are hurdles and when new platforms evolve it takes time, I just wish people and tuners alike would shoot it straight with us instead of building us up and then disappearing. Sorry to rant, I am just frustrated at the all too common delays due to this and that..

mtnpass: I don't think any of these folks are trying to BS us.. they're just generally finding out how much of a bitch it is to deal with a new product.. it wouldn't shock me if we only had 2 viable mid-power FI options at this time next year whatsoever.. there's no point in any of these companies coming on here, getting our hopes up, and then leaving.. all that'll do is not make us buy anything from there at all, which I'm _POSITIVE_ isn't their motivation for posting here..

Would you rather no one posted anything? :)
