guys look wat i found. Turbo..Turbo !!!!!





the website is Here !! http://www.speedforceracing.com/prod...x8turbokit.php

We got some detail discussion at https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-major-horsepower-upgrades-93/turbo-kit-speed-force-racing-34604/

 

That's awesome but $6250 is a lot of bread

 

Funniest thing I've seen all night. thanks.

 

Is there an ECU upgrade that goes along with this turbo kit? I would imagine tuning is definitely required right?

haha. sure .

 

o man .. i don't know a.. but u can call them for info.
i am going to check it out. when i go to 7stock. on sep 10.
when i check it out. i will tell u man.

 

My favorite lines:

"Now you dont have to worry about being left at the stop light by every econobox that has an intake and exhaust on it.The days of cringing everytime a Mustang or Camaro pulls up and flexes its v-8 muscle are long gone."

Made me laugh out loud. The 350/G35 one was the only one with a dyno chart.

 

THis project, like most other turbo '8 projects, has been discussed in the tech garage or MS/Performance forum. If you want to see why most people aren't enthralled, do a search.

 

ya.. sorry about that.. i just saw it at tech board.

 

Not bitching. just alerting. No worries.

 

what . . . .no strut bar with this turbo?! and would heat be an issue on the belt thats 2" away from glowing red metal? i thank a good turbo system would come standerd with an upgraded ecu or some sort of stand alone. the wait continues........

 

my bad, there is an optional EMS system ... but I wonder why its "optional" and not mandatory as part of the kit. Someone should call them and see how they're testing their install commercial kit .. things like reliability, I wouldn't imagine buying this kit and having the motor croak in a year or so.

I wonder what they did for a EMS system. Piggyback? or complete swap? and if it a complete swap, what things don't work anymore as a result of that swap out.

This turbo has been out for a while ... repost lol ,

"The day is came." ???

Either a very bad typo or very poor English.

 

"The day is came. All your base are belong to us..."

 

haha. . typing mistake..

 

can i have another choice? :p

 

I can't accept the idea of a turbocharger being mounted right in front of the engine. I can see the alternator and accessory belts melting or cracking away real soon. The poor hawker battery probably won't stand much of a chance of keeping a charge with so much heat in close proximity. If you look at the kit laid out, there's eight or so bent pipes that need to snake its way throughout the engine bay. This, in my opinion, is too much.

 

Not the best layout for a turbo kit.... too many bends and not very well thought out.

"attention to detail" my ***, seems the only thing they really paid attention to is how quickly they could get the thing onto the market to increase their profits.

I can guarantee you that having this setup will eventually lead to auxilary component failures inside the engine bay... so yes, it is a "quick bang for your bucks!"

P.S. Not hating, just educating.
