tdiddy has installed the ptp turbo this winter and is currently working on getting it going. He has an upgraded over the turbo over the base kit though.

 

funny,

i have followed his stuff, i did not recall that it was a ptp..

great to know.. thx

now if we can just find a sfr and a procharger.

beers

 

how is that possible? the stock coils are proven to only be able to hold around 330 whp.

 

that's metric whp. So about +15 whp over stock.

 

im looking pretty seriously into the mazsport or the ptp turbo kits, both come out to around the same price so im just trying 2 figure out which one makes more hp. it doesnt look like anyone has had a really good dyno run with the mazsport turbo yet

 

mazsport currently dynos the highest of any FI kit for the rx-8.

If you're looking at something that costs the same as the mazsport, it's a no brainer which you should pick.

 

Does anyone no about the reliability of the mazsport kit?...am i just gonna end up blowing the stock seals with the power added from the kit?

 

no turbo kit is going to gain you reliability, however if you run the base 7-10 psi range, you should be fine.

 

it is in the tune, and life is a risk. if you cant afford the risk dont do it..

A wise man once said to me that it is the "Endless pursuit of the perfect explosion."

 

hahaha that wise man is scott. one of the founding fathers of rx8 performance next to mazdamaniac, Rotarygod,and Swoope maybe be one as well. swoopes posts are just sometimes confusing.... or im just not smart enough to know what hes saying.

no but seriously, the mazsport kit comes with everything and saves you the hassle of picking bits and pieces from various shops.(thats why my lazy *** went with it). another reason is mazsport is making the most power but it doesn't mean other kits cant. i just went with what has already made it.

 

Yes, and I can 100% confirm that Scott does stand behind his products and work. I got some of the first production runs of some of their products, and Scott has been Johnny on the Spot about replacing those with newer pieces.

That, and I think Scott said he is flying out for free and retuning my car for CA gas!

 

leaving the short midget asian out now are we? hahaha im jk. that would be awesome.

we can take scott to a strip club.(hahaha now his wife will never let him come...)

 

I already paid to have Scott tune my car and shipped it to his front door to make it happen =)

Short Midget asian guy guy still needs to pay up for tuning =)

 

Double Post

 

Maybe I need to fly him up here on his way home to do mine

Things being a PIA right now

 

Drive down? You can stay at my pad.

 

yeah i'd rather not ship my car but i would most definately pay for a tune. at this point from anyone that can is nice but from scott would be better.

 

When is he coming??

 

lets hope soooonnnnn

 

I'm on holidays May12-18

 

I think we are shooting for the end of the month.

 

Story of my life.....too far away...and a little too early..

 

you never know dan. we'll see how it goes when scott makes up his mind.

 

Tommy, you want to set this up? I am super busy with setting up my new business. Post a thread in the west forum probably.
