One of the best weekends I've ever been to for sheer fun and friendly camraderie.
And of course the Hymee and RM cars were great to see (and hear). The MA turbo car didn't go on the track but it was accompanied by the new MX5 and the lovely Jodie so all in all there was plenty to drool over.

Maybe Hymee could use a Sydney demo car!!!
Of course, then I'd have to upgrade the wheels.

Will be going for a test drive in the RM car next week......So will have some answers....
Any questions you guys want me to ask???
I have a long list of my own........lol

Thanx Eric for your PM .And all who support honesty , integrity
I have a Top quality kit ,only using the best materials . If it is too cheap , by all means pay more for what you think is better .I have'nt indicated exact prices by the way , only approximates .
I designed the turbo , ( specs / trim )and had it built in Aust .by the best in the biz , using revoloutionary efficient bearings and garrett housings .This turbo is up to 20% more efficient than a garrett roller bearing turbo ...I would have SAVED money using a garret roller
Mazda has $$$$$ spent on R&D on their turbo concept( hundreds of thousands ) .
Information that I have had access to . And with their budget, I am sure the managementTHEY chose is tip top .Having said that , we have made changes to the management making it applicable to my turbo and application
I have endeavoured to harness my own knowledge of rotaries & engineering as well as racking the brain of all experts in this field ,to achieve what is to be the best kit I know how to produce .
The initial idea was to make my own kit for myself . As stated earlier in the piece , I am a semi -retired 31yr old wanting something to do in my spare time .This , to me was an exciting challenge which has seen its fare share of issues ( not all to do with the kit !)
The only reason I entertained the option of selling this KIT , was the abundance of genuine interest for IT ,
So on with the show , once the miles are up on the test car / mule , I will take the next step
Thanx again for all of your overwhelming support
Smile Lots

Ric Shaw is only 1.6s faster than me, considering I never been to Wakefield and no one teach me that day 
. He is a racing driver and has suspension and brake mod... he prob has to kill himself LOL Back to Ciao's tubro.
I still don't know what all these are about... I am prepare to let Ciao R&D further more before making any comment... as he says he is still in the journey. Wait until he blew the engine then you can put this flag
Otherwise, please still respect this man for what he is doing to HIS car...

i know more that the guys from Mazda who put this turbo RX8 together.......and thats a fact JACK.............if they had the smarts that you seem to think they do............they would have a merchantable SP version after nearly 2 years............
You also are a real sales man.......fantastic.........WHO build this turbo then??????? Someone more advanced in turbomachinery that the engineers at Allied Signal ??!?!?!? Think not.........have you got a patent on the advanced bearing design......since the Garett GT ceramic ball bearings are inferior......... do you eaven know what 20% more efficient means in turbomachinery terms........to be that much more efficient you need a new turbine wheel trim and also a compressor wheel trim........with the correct A/R compressor and turbine housings........you need to be able to calculate the theoretical pressure ratios and flows amongst other things.........and then compare to experimantal values...............have you got a ISO 17025 accredited Calibration Laboratory for Pressure and Gas Flow measuring..................if so, can we have a compressor and turbine map.............. Please enlighten me.........
i will not even get into the engine management issue..............
Im a mechanical design engineer at a multi national company so stop trying to get one up on me in the engineering department............you will lose every single time..............i pull management in line and put sales men on their *** all the time........can not stand their BS................
I bet you are real smooth with the ladies...........well I aint no bitch...........
if you have the proof i will apoligise, like i said in the reply to your legaly threatening PM................
zoom44 if im getting out of control please do pull me aside.........im fumming

I can see where ýou're coming from.. but just chill a bit...
"IF" Caio is full of BS.... then it will all come out in the end.. but for now lets just sit back and see what comes to fruition from his little project.
Any FI project is good right?? it will either show us what to do or what not to do..
repeat after me..
breathe in...
breathe out...
serenity now...

Have U not seen the video post of Ciaos turbo RX8,From 80km/hr accelerate from the car next him as if it was standing still
looks like pretty good proof to me AND,the 1st dyno pull stats I'm impressed & I believe the cars not fully
tuned.
Stop trying to hyjack this thred!
have u not read the review? or R U full of
Here we have a guy whos able to put a kit together for less than 10 grand that looks great .
U R THE Typical key board warrior :fawk: .
Crap on some where elses forum
I agree with TAKA
we should respect this man & realise what he has achieved.
Keep up the good news Ciao there will always be

Hi all,
this is my first post. Have been very interested in this thread as I have waved the idea of purchasing the 06 STi or a EVO IX to purchase a used RX8 and to then install a turbo kit. I have also had a line of turboed cars.
I more than likely would not of posted at all except the comments from Maxx annoyed me somewhat.
Mate, I have never heard anyone blow there trumpet like you have. I am a mechanical engineer of a multinational; Ive owned a 9 sec car; Dont go there as I know everything bla bla.
You sound like a loud mouth American.
For someone who hasnt even driven the rotormaster car yet you are full of unexplained praises. Why not after you test drive the supercharged RX8 fly up to QLD and test drive the turboed RX8. Then give us your unbiased comments. I might then actually listen to you.
Seriously its costs next to nothing to fly there and for a big wig of a multi national Im sure it wont hurt your piggybank. All you may need to do is ask Dave nicely for the keys.

I THINK should get off this thread cause 
the amount of crap hes comming up with is quite annoying.Hes got this verry "little man" syndrome thing about him,big words high and mighty powerfull.HEY how about asking "chow" some questions ,instead of telling us a whole lot of junk thats untrue?Like everyone has been saying ,lets wait and see what "ciao"has got to show all of us.The "ciao "kit isnt even finished yet!
I do understand ,theres always someone out there with no life no self esteem that has to try to bring someone else down to their level.I think they call it the" tall poppy syndrome" when someone (or something)stands out and they get pleasure cutting it down!!!
Thats the way society breed's some of us.
You can't change that but I think you can BAN THEM
I also think It would be good to hear how you could help,Imean with all that experience you've got .How about putting it to good use?
ASK A FEW QUESTIONS AND MAYBE YOU COULD HELP WITH THE ANSWERS!!!!
BECAUSE YOU KNOW EVERTHING!!!!
