After searching around about the series 2 turbo kits I have only ever heard of the esmeril and turblown kits. Are there any other kits except these ones for the series 2?

Pdxhack what power range is your kit shooting for? I'm not really educated about Turbo kits on the rx8 but is the turblown kit torque curve good or is it a bit low?

Our turbo system makes more power than any of our competitors at considerable less boost. Rotaries don't make a lot of torque unless the boost is turned way up, and even then its far less than their piston counterparts.

I have a S1 RX8 so this does not apply to me. Different tuning and and setup.
Turblown as far as tuning I think I read you guys have a tuning option for the series 2 that is a standalone system. Are we still required to bring our cars into your shop to make this work because last that I saw was that you said in another post that it wasn't plus and play yet and we were required to bring our car in. Also is the garret hybrid still the standard Turbo on your kits?

Its just a Rx-8 Select that is NOT plug and play, and requires wiring in series with the stock wiring harness. We will sell the ECU outright now, with or without a purchase of our turbo system.
It is $1200 + freight.
Yes the Garrett hybrid is the standard for our top mount kit, we use a CompTurbo for our low mount kits;
So are the fuel injectors included with the kit? I'm probably going to go Turbo later since I still have warrenty and want to rebuild my engine before going Turbo.
im not really good with cars so I was just wondering why does the turblown kit requires premixing and the esmeril kit doesnt? I read on the turblown website its because of fitment constraint but I still dont really understand. Also as the esmeril kit states it can achieve 414 hp out of the box with ignition and clutch upgrades can the turblown kit achive 400 hp out of the box also?

Because by the time you get the Esmeril kit (IF you get it) and replace all the knockoff parts you will be tired of the whole thing and sell your Rx-8, thus never having to pre-mix?

I have some questions on the turblown kit? So tier 1 top mount cost 6800? So what is tier 2 than? It also says you have to cut the sheet metal to make the kit fit, but on another page I found that you said you don't have to cut the sheet metal. So do you have to cut it For figment? Also what is included in the top mount turbo kit?
We have a turbo series 2 turbo running built by Mazfix in Brisbane. It has been running for over a year now. They have not revealed the ecu that is being used.
As the car is a R3 model they had certain teething issues however the standard model is apparently easier to install and tune.
