sorry, that's all i know cuz i was looking at the chinese characters (kenji) instead of the japanese

 

ALL HALE U. N. O., HE hit the nail on the head, dont you guys remember at the begining of the thread where I said "Hey look at my turbo kit", "Hey come look at the pictures I took"

If your going to make statements make sure you can back them up.

Just like shawrf1 said we can take it to PMs to keep it clean around here.

Anyway back to the article, I can get it all translated I think. Well the major parts of it, but I need like a day or two.

Showing this turbo kit in no way helps me, this was info for you guys, I dont even have a RX8.. The RX8 guys seemed a little depressed so this is the current info I have. This weekend since I have more time, I plan to talk to TRUST for more pics, and HKS to see if they are in fact making a turbo kit. HKS guy was by the shop I work at in my spare time, but I was in a hurry to get to the gym hehe

 

there isn't an intercooler in there yet. it says that they plan on putting one on though.

 

Moki,

That explains the 50HP. Intercool it and we are talking at least 75HP with slightly more boost. Oh, yeah.

-Mr. Wigggles

 

thanks jt for taking the time to post pics

 

I'm interested in the amount of boost they will run and, more critcally, the amount of boost that becomes detrimental to the engine.

Towards the beginning of this thread there was mention of "0.4 kg" of boost, which is a garbage claim because the units are incorrect. Boost is measured in pressure, requiring a unit of force per unit of area ("pounds per square inch", "Newtons per square meter", "kilograms per square centimeter", etc.).

Does anyone have any expectations of what boost levels are safe? What did the last generation RX7 tuners get away with?

 

mikeB--No problem

Notdeafyet--Well next time I get my computer to make a small 2, I will be sure to put it up there. Everyone else understood but you.

Last generation RX7 would be the FD and safe levels have been about 1.2kg....OOOOO Dont let me forget the "2" so 1.2KG2

 

Still wrong Jt, you're not missing a "small 2" -- you now seem to think that pressure can be measured in square kilograms? Force squared?!

Once again I shall attempt to selflessly pass you a tiny piece of education: you need a unit of FORCE PER UNIT OF AREA (force/distance^2) to express pressure.

Jt -- when you're ignorant, don't flaunt it.

 

Grow the F up people!

 

yeah, no kidding... :o

 

so yeah your turbo kit and u don't even own an 8 .. get a grip man.. be clear not childish



by all means i am all about a turbo, but FACTS is what rules and thats all i was looking for , and still am

 

now, now "mr." wigggles, lets keep it clean here, i too have interest on a turbo as well as other performance parts .. if we are going to get personal and nasty i will tell you to not be jelaous and don't worry, i will safe you some of my s***t for dessert. but i will keep it politically clean and no go off the topic and so now that you have proof to be disrespectful, please keep any futher comments to yourself about me and my opinions and sayings. afterall we are in a gown-ups forum right?

 

U. N. O.----Keep it clean huh? And what do you call what you just posted to MR.W, ??? Is that clean?

Read my post again...

If you dont like the info I give, dont read it. There are plenty more thread to go talk ***** in.

 

Oh. I thought this thread was for turbos. Can anyone suggest a thread about turbos?

 

1stRX8--Yeah I hear you man.

Well this was suppose to be for information, but I think the thread got lost somewhere between how much everyone knows about a car that just came out, and how much boost they are running on this kit.

I figure this thread will die, and we I get the pics and information from Trust about their set-up in more detail and also talk to HKS about if they are doing something then I will post all that up for you guys.

 

JT Imports: Please check your Private Msgs... Thanks.
