Would love to hear thoughts and explanations on this throttle body...
The design makes no sense. Having 4 small oppenings instead of 1 large will result in a reduction in available airflow. Even if you could flow more air with that throttle body, there is no need for it. The throttle body has never been shown to have any measurable restriction in the intake system. If you beleive that the stock throttle body is restritive, Brian at BDC can port and polish your stock throttle body or sell you one and you send him your as a core. |

Chris,
You don't think an upgraded radiator, oil coolers, or water pump is essential when getting any turbo? It just seems to me that engine temps are essential for performance and reliability. I do realize the water/meth system aids in this endevor but what about the above mentioned parts? I just find it hard to believe no additional cooling is required. Regards, Chris Additional cooling required? NO, recommended for warm climents or for spirited driving, Yes. Required for track use, Yes. Any time you add additional power and especialy with adding FI and an intercooler blocking radiator airflow, you will need additional cooling for extended high loads. Its simple, more power equals more heat. However, if like most people, you will just use the extra power to accelerate onto the freeway or from light to light, the stock system will be just fine. If you do upgrade the coolign system, a water pump, modified fan turn on points and a secondary radiator are the best things you can do. f you do a top mount intercooler, you can get away without the secondary radiator. Stock oil coolers work well for most people. |

Hope to get some response soon from Esmeril... |
I'm still waiting on my kit to arrive. Gotta call them tomorrow and see an estimated date. Damn ball bearing turbo was on back order. As soon as I get it, I will make a build thread and have tons of pics to show it.

Compatible with Automatic Transmission models?
Hello,
Are any of your Esmeril turbo kits compatible with Automatic Transmission models? Also, when in the future do you think you'll have the different intake piping to work properly with the COBB Access port? I'm very interested in purchasing your kit. Thank you, Mark |
dose any one here have the "full" kit instead of the "street" kit that i can ask questions to??
|
i wouldnt recommend going with this kit. i waited well over the time period and still missing parts. and they arnt responding to my emails or phone calls

WTF.... How long was the wait? Did u pay by paypal? IF u did, u could get ur money back... |
We have contacted mwall and taken care of the missing item. His emails were not getting through for some reason.
A MAF pipe will be shipped out today. Best regards, Chris |
why dont you guys change your email provider already, was that so hard? how many years do you need to have continual issues before someone thinks of this? Of course it can and will always still happen occasionally, but when its a pattern, even a thin one, it would be in your best interest as a business to address that I would think

do not buy anything from esmeril racing or mazdaparts.com!!! I gave them $3,500 through pay pal, had a family emergency and needed a refund, and it took them 2 months to get me $1,500. I am still waiting for my $2,000 and the money was transferred in april of this year!!! Please do not make the same mistake i did, and do not buy from them! I am currently in the process of getting my money back through the legal system.

As for the guy who received one box...there is two boxes for each turbo kit! Please PM me as they were in the same shipment and should have arrived together! As for one of our retailers (MP.com) they receive thousands of emails a day and are in the process of switching owners who plan on overhauling the site to prevent communication delays (like a customer management system built in instead of just email comm.). I will have the new owner introduce herself once all the changes are made as she wants the site to have a presence on the forum. Best Regards, Chris |
