View Full Version : SPEEDFORCE RACING TURBO.... a year later
D1GT-x8 09-15-2006, 02:16 PM It’s been a year since I purchased this PHENOMINAL turbo kit (#), and all I can say is WOW. I have had minimal problems with the system (little things that I can fix myself) and I think it was a great decision that I had purchased from these guys. Tim answers all my questions, and maintained a GREAT customer service. For a guy that doesn’t know squat about force induction. They are one of the first guys that came out with the right system without rushing integrity of the product. They conducted best R&D possible. Even if the rx8 community put them down in the middle of the project. They never let our vision down, in gaining that extra, added push that our great car (#) really deserved. Hell we should’ve blamed mazda (#) of all the accusation that the claimed about horsepower. Even if it took a while to get good a dyno sheet they always pulled through. I told them to take their time and they did. And they gave me back a 326 horsepower beast. So this is a PRAISE to the guys at speedforce racing (#). Thanks guys and keep up the good job. And Tim we’ll talk about that next step to getting that 500 horsepower that I want so bad.
With that that said remember what TIM told us before
"Go buy the greddy kit and when an RX-8 (#) turbo (#) blasts by you, you will know that is has an SPEEDFORCE RACING TURBO kit on it!Take care."
shinka23 09-15-2006, 02:26 PM Team Blur.....hey, do you know someone named Cyrille??? I'm in the Bay area right now. He says He knows team blur
D1GT-x8 09-15-2006, 02:26 PM yeah he is one of our older members. tell him rell says whats up
shinka23 09-15-2006, 02:30 PM aight.....thats crazy how your putting down 326 to the wheels. how much did this cost you? parts and labor.
D1GT-x8 09-15-2006, 02:35 PM i cant talk specific on price, but it still alot of money. even with a partial sponsorship. but that term comes to mind. YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR.
jahman11 09-15-2006, 02:41 PM I am in Maryland I ordered the speedforce racing turbo kit I am having it put on as I post this I will let you guys know how it turns out. I asked them to Dyno it before and after the install :)

Moostafa29 09-15-2006, 03:46 PM Glad to hear its all its cracked up to be.
D1GT-x8 09-15-2006, 03:53 PM jahman you will have fun with it....

Hey man where in MD are you i live around gaithersburg area and i have the greddy tubo i would love to see your setup with it is done. ?
SayNoToPistons 09-15-2006, 06:04 PM what 1/4 times do you run? btw... when a rotary car blows by you... its a 13bt, 13brew, custom giant turbo 13bmsp, or 20b lol.
sauceyI986 09-16-2006, 09:47 AM i was wonder with SFR turbo kit can it beat the New 2006 Mustang GT
MadDog 09-16-2006, 09:56 AM i was wonder with SFR turbo kit can it beat the New 2006 Mustang GT
I sincerely hope you are joking. A mildly tuned GReddy kit running less than 10psi will smoke a 2006 GT... I'm beating S/C Cobras on a regular basis.

05s ??
MadDog 09-16-2006, 10:27 AM 05's aren't S/C. 03's were.
sauceyI986 09-16-2006, 10:30 AM ok i was wondering because i got smoked by a Mustang GT on my way to work,, Dam i need a turbo
shawn81 09-17-2006, 09:22 AM ok i was wondering because i got smoked by a Mustang GT on my way to work,, Dam i need a turbo

Good luck with your *500hp* dream.
shawn81 09-17-2006, 06:47 PM ok 500 hp with engine work RIGHT??? sooo are we talking about some 15-20K project? I spent 4000 for my greddy and i am really happy with my 250 bhp....
D1GT-x8 09-18-2006, 09:56 AM 500 with engine work... im all about reliability
Aseras 09-18-2006, 10:38 AM 500 hp reliable = low boost 20b or a ls1 swap. a bad day or bad tank of gas on a 13b and it will detonate and blow it with that much FI.
mike1324a 09-18-2006, 11:02 AM It all comes down to tuning. Like RG said in another thread, "There is no such thing as a "safe" psi limit as that doesn't tell use anything about airflow. There is only safe or unsafe tuning. Even 1 psi can blow up a poorly tuned engine."
limepro 09-18-2006, 12:35 PM ok i was wondering because i got smoked by a Mustang GT on my way to work,, Dam i need a turbo
haha a good tune, tires and suspension and you can beat the GT not by much but you also gotta remember most of the owners dont know how to drive learn to launch and u will eat them
Skiptomylue 09-18-2006, 03:23 PM ok 500 hp with engine work RIGHT??? sooo are we talking about some 15-20K project? I spent 4000 for my greddy and i am really happy with my 250 bhp....
250 bhp? so from the greddy turbo kit you only gained 12 bhp?? or dyou mean Whp? so your car has about 280bhp?
shawn81 09-18-2006, 04:17 PM 250 bhp? so from the greddy turbo kit you only gained 12 bhp?? or dyou mean Whp? so your car has about 280bhp?
That is right 250 BHP... but that was with 7 PSI with about 9-10 A/F will soon run 7 and 9 psi with 11-13 A/F
7 PSI should give me 260-70 and 9 should give me about 300 :ylsuper:
D1GT-x8 09-18-2006, 04:23 PM im using the 13b renisis motor. and trying to get 500hp with a higher boost and internal work. and a tune job. wish me luck. it wont be anytime soon but it will be done. im working on other thing in my car right now. im going on a buying cycle.. first was exterior, then power, then suspension, and last interior. and im on the interior part now. so next is exterior for the most part. then we'll get back to power
Skiptomylue 09-18-2006, 09:19 PM i still dont understand how throwing on a turbo only gained you 12 BHP.. so like..5 whp... i dont know much about the A/f Ratio yet either... so.. :tear:
shawn81 09-19-2006, 12:22 AM i still dont understand how throwing on a turbo only gained you 12 BHP.. so like..5 whp... i dont know much about the A/f Ratio yet either... so.. :tear:
OK they are the same .... bhp and whp means i am putting down that much power ...
i wouldn't do all this for only 12 hp...i got about 60 hp extra na we have 180-190WHP i have 250 do the math :mdrmed:
Skiptomylue 09-19-2006, 01:46 AM hm bhp (Brake Horsepower or.. "base Horsepower") and whp (wheel Horsepower) are the same thing eh?
funny...http://www.allfastcars.com/mazda-rx8.shtml
you should tell this website they are wrong then..cuz our car doesnt come withe 238 Bhp or... Whp....
Or hell.. tell these guys they are wrong... http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/t110158.html
i wont touch anything more on it. but.. you should do the math first....but you have close to about 300 Bhp... to have 250-260 Whp...
still.... im still jelous of the power you make.. an 1/4 times ?? im assuming a 13.8-13.6 would be about right..?
shawn81 09-19-2006, 11:42 AM you know Skiptomylue... i am sorry:wallbash: when you are right you right... it is funny how i never paid ATT to that at all... i know about cars ... i worked on my car myselfe and know alot about enginges and how they work but over looked that one little thing.... well i leared seomthing new... today.. thank you for makeing me search it out :mdrmed:
ALXVA8 09-19-2006, 01:57 PM I am in Maryland I ordered the speedforce racing turbo kit I am having it put on as I post this I will let you guys know how it turns out. I asked them to Dyno it before and after the install :)
D.
What shop are you using to do the doing the install?
rkostolni 09-19-2006, 02:07 PM Really bhp could mean either. The "brake" just refers to the dyno method of loading the engine. It is conventionally meant to represent flywheel hp though.
shawn81 09-19-2006, 03:00 PM Really bhp could mean either. The "brake" just refers to the dyno method of loading the engine. It is conventionally meant to represent flywheel hp though.
i will look into it more tonight....
Skiptomylue 09-19-2006, 03:39 PM not sure if thats sarcastic or not .. lol oh well.. i show no hate on the rx8 forums, we all have the same cars.. and pretty much the same goals in mind no hatting.. like i said.. im still super jealous....
i wanna boost..
shawn81 09-19-2006, 04:01 PM it completes the car...i should of had it stock
truemagellen 09-25-2006, 03:53 AM 500 at the wheels is possible (engine work of course)
Follow the Mystery Custom Turbo thread...see if it happens (just fired it up so no engine mods yet...but once a rebuild occurs then it is on :)).
Speedrx8er 09-27-2006, 12:16 AM Dang 500 at the wheel target hp already. arggggggggggggggg
I'll be happy if I hit 320 or so when its all say and done hehehe :)
truemagellen 09-27-2006, 12:25 AM Speedrx8er join us in our quest :) :p
Speedrx8er 09-27-2006, 06:34 AM True,
I have a problem with that quest.
"THE WIFE" ahahaha
But, just in case I may one day want to join the quest. I'll get a turbo that can do over 500 hp.
D1GT-x8 09-27-2006, 03:00 PM you can get 320 with this system and only run 9 pounds of boost.
jahman11 09-29-2006, 12:12 AM Hey Shawn81
I am in the process of getting the kit installed finally took a while to get all the parts. They say it should be ready by mid next week. I will let you know when I get it back. You can check out set up no problem. How long have you had your car turboed any problems with Emmissions? I am in the Owings Mills area guess that is the suburbs of Baltimore.
MadDog what kind of set up do you have on your RX8? Beating Cobras huh? How do you do against stock EVO's you are getting me excited can't wait to get back my RX

I had a Zex Nitrous kit installed on mine for a while, before I began building the turbo, and with Just a 55hp boost, I was routinely beating evos, camaros, mustangs, BMW M3 and the list goes on. So yeah with 320 HP at the wheels you'll be real fast. :rock:

Yeah man Emission is a problem but i have waived mine for 2 years you can do the same.... i hope you like the car when it is ready (i am sure you will) and i have to say this
Welcome to the dark side :FIREdevil
MadDog 09-29-2006, 08:16 AM Check out my sig.
you can beat the following cars if they're stock: S/C cobras, '06 STi's, Stage 1 SRT4's, Evo's, Mustang GT's (<these are actually REALLY slow), and Z28's.
In addition to those I recently killed a 2006 BMW M6 from a roll. I think he was in the low-horsepower mode, which is still 400hp!
jahman11 09-29-2006, 05:24 PM Hey guys anyone with turbo where did you put your gauges having a hard time finding the right pods
jahman11 10-09-2006, 07:00 AM Anyone I have the Navigation system in my RX8 so no center consule for me anyone else find some where to put their gauge pods and gauges? And to answer Alexva8 I will post the name and address of the shop once to work is done and I am satisfied don't want to give them advertisement if I am not happy with the work. I should be getting the car back this week. I have my fingers and toes crossed that all goes well. I am very curious to see how this car performs with boost. I at one time I was tossing around the idea of buying an EVo but deciede to go with performance mods instead. I have to say no much can touch this car once it is lowered and the suspension in modified. all that is has been lacking is HP. Can't wait.
dtorre 10-09-2006, 07:03 AM pods can go by ashtray....or god forbid on top of the steering column
Sapphonica 10-09-2006, 01:48 PM pods can go by ashtray....or god forbid on top of the steering column
I am the steering column type myself...don't want to look too far away from the road when the boost is on & the traction control is off!!!
BaronVonBigmeat 10-09-2006, 07:11 PM I've seen pictures of the nav screen being used to display virtual guages. Was that just a one-off concept thing by Mazda?
