Turblown complete top mount Turbo kit
 

LOCAL SALE: San Diego CA
The Turbo was custom fitted on a Series 1 manual but fit my automatic just fine. It has a few thousand miles on it but has shaft play. I did not measure it but the car was boosting fine @ 10 lbs before removal. My friend who inspected the turbo said it would need to be rebuilt. Eliot at Turblown.net said a full rebuild with bearings would cost $400 and include a warranty and be basically brand new.

Chris @ Turblown custom fits them to the vehicle before shipping. The attached thumb is my actual turbo fitted on a Series 1 manual. This turbo is legit, unlike the defunct Greddy fiasco, this unit is still in production and a bit more expensive. Turblown Top Mount Rx-8 Turbo System - Turblown Engineering.

It should be everything you need for 425rwp minus black halo coils, fuel pump possibly, colder plugs and upgraded radiator. Click the link for more info. I had my COB AP tuned at MM in Arizona. Vehicle shipping was ~$350. Turbo kit = $6500 + $4000 accessories = $10,000 Total value. $2500 should be fair considering the turbo needs $400 in repair work and the AP is cracked

Are you sure this mounts up on a manual RX8? I recall that you had an auto RX8 and had some transmission/hesitation issues. Also, if the turbo needs repair work it'd be best to specifically state what turbo model it is etc. some more kit details too; don't see an intercooler/piping or any mention of one etc.

I'm contacting turblown@gmail.com however you can go ahead and call the shop for info about the kit. I also provided a link with kit details directly from their site. The transmission is fine. The kit made too much power for the automatic transmission but has no issues now that I converted everything back to stock.

edit:
I was drunk
GLWS

You're asking too much for the Cobb AP however.
And the Supercat is not worth the material it's made out of IMO
(and yes I owned one)

I totally love that manifold.

The price for the entire kit is in the heading. The prices I listed in the thread are the MSRP that I paid. I'd rather sell as a complete kit. And the RP pipe is required as a cat would overheat or put too much back pressure on the engine I'd imagine. I never had a problem with it. It's metal, it bolts on to things. It does its job.

Ahhh so 2500 for the entire kit?
That is fucking awesome

edit
Seriously wow ... if you wanna a good place to start and are willing to learn and upgrade.
Damn ... this is awesome really really awesome opportunity.

Some one buy this!

Posting a link is not the same as actually stating what's included. Even "I may be missing something" is not clear to what exactly you mean or are referring too. Not trying to be difficult, there are some vague points that need clarifying to actually determine the value to cost ratio (regardless of what some drunk guy said without asking any questions ... :p:)

:spank::lol2:

Still a great starting point if you accept it's not plug and play and do some work

I've lived my share of mistakes from making assumptions ...

More like plug and boom. What turbo are you looking at that doesn't require dyno tuning? Did Greddy fix their engine blowing e-manage?

I'm not sure how you put a value on the custom fitted piping because I don't think Turblown provided part numbers or prices for individual items in the kit. Study the kit, call turblown and ask questions. They are hand made when ordered and takes 12 weeks. You can see exactly what you're getting in the picture I provided. It is a complete kit with most the items listed on the link and accessories listed in the thread like the ID2000 injectors, boost a pump etc. The site has been updated since I purchased this unit over a year ago so I don't have some of the items on the link like an EGR and lower radiator hose for instance (I used my original). But if you look at the kit, specs, and accessories I listed with prices, that gives you a really good idea of what I have. Ask me specific questions so I can try and answer them for you.

He charged you 750$ for the heat shield! What a crook. Do you have all the piping?

This should help get things back on topic.

Von,

Please list ALL the items you will be shipping the member (buyer) at the conclusion of this sale.

Anything less leads people to believe they are getting something they are not. Please be as specific as possible.

Thanks

Travis

I may or may not have a few other items not mentioned but they aren't part of the kit so it's just extra anyways.

Oh and local sale only. They can come check everything out themselves.

Where is local??? :dunno:

Confirmed. That picture is a Series 1 manual. It fit on my auto just fine as well.

weekend bump

Still for sale?

What about engine management? Just using the Cobb AP in conjunction with the OEM ECU or is another piggyback management system required?

What turbo is this? What's the compressor? Compressor housing?

I am guessing the hotside is gt35 - a/r would be nice to know...

Also the R designation is used to designate ball bearings - not journals

Inconsistent info. ..

The turbo info is just a copy paste from the Turblown website. I am sure he doesn't really know. So I would contact Turblown.

DRKSYDE, I would do a search for Turblown, or shoot Hoss-05 a private message. Buyer beware

Thanks!

Yes it's still for sale but local sale only. That way there's no confusion and you know what you're buying.

after a nightmare with Paypal and my bank, this kit is now BOUGHT. so anxious!

^--- hope you don't mind losing the OMP.

Pfft. Only an extra 12% more money ($285) for a Turblown Inconel OMP heat shield. ;)

The OMP has to be moved with this kit. Unless it has been modified.

Thermostat housing has to be "modded" as well I believe.

If you want the OMP you need to modify the lower thermostat housing to clear the OMP otherwise it wont fit. My housings looked pretty darn good for a reman with 30k miles boosted 10k of which were on my top mount set up. of coarse mine never saw consistent high rpm or racing conditions. mine was driven like a normal car with a few red lines once or twice a day.

Unfortunately I had to issue a full refund due to an extended business trip. This won't be for sale again until 2016 but I'll give concept first dibs on parting out if he likes.

Regarding the turbo that was thought to be bad, it's as good as new minus a slight bent edge of the compressor wheel fin. Not even a big deal. I'll update the add later.

Edit:
For sale again, but I'm parting out this time. I only have the Turbo, Manifold and some misc piping and accessories

Please come take a look. I'm within the San Diego 92101 area

Thanks,

I'll take the Cobb is it's available

Local sale only for all items.

Thanks

so I am assuming its missing the intercooler, down-pipe, fuel pump, B-off valve + pipe and wastegate? What else is missing from the original kit?

I have the downpipe, wastegate, Turbo and Fuel pump. A COBB with a broken screen. I'm pretty sure I have the mid-pipe from Racing Beat. I have boost a pump and ethanol injection but that's still attached to the car. One would need to bring tools to unscrew it.

I donated all the parts to goodwill

The vehicle is for sale $2000 it's registered and smoged.

Any particular good will location " ;-)

wife will be in town on the 16th ... and I'm sure no one will know what anything is :-D

`

Car was sent to goodwill in good running condition, smoged and registered but I backed out last minute and then sold it to the tow truck driver for a few shillings.

Surprised how bad the market is for a rotary, It's like I can't even give this stuff away. Whatever, this dead weight is off my shoulders and my life has already improved.
