Turbo kit pics
 

Auto Salon..

Yes already out.... for those that dont believe.....

Turbo kits were 4 different companies.

POWER, TRUST, RE-AMEMIYA, and PHOENIX POWER!

Well anyway....

Here is powers... Im a little slow, computer problems, but this is a sample for for too come.

Don't be shy.... Numbers please.

Performance, price, availability.

My salesman quit just this year, so I didnt just run up and ask. I will get the info on them all of course..

awaiting the info in excitement of course...

that looks like ours, except smaller.

how do the intercoolers mount? any shots? How many PSI?

Anyone have a supercharger kit? I feel like superchaging this car is the way to go, but open to the idea of a turbo.

Jason;

Thanks for update. I noticed the Power Enterprises kit is using a Mitsubishi turbo? I thought Power was an IHI company. Can you please update us on any new development on the "kits."

INFO!!! WE NEED INFO!!! :D

Too cool, How about some stuff on the kits from the other 3 manufacturers?

Due to the time difference I just woke up it was a long day yesterday. I have the pics and info coming, but I still need to shrink them and such.

These other 3 kits are a surprise... They gave no forth info before the show, so I guess it was a secret.

Info is coming.

Too cool, can't wait to see it. :D

KNIGHTSPORT RX8

Here are their stats, well some of them, still working with pics and info.

285ps @ 7800rpms
They are running their own computer rom.

Thats it for them for right now. More coming as it comes..

is that to the wheels? and what do you mean by their own rom? did they replace the ecu or added a piggyback fuel controller?

If there were some re-arranging of the location of the battery, ecu, etc... there will be some major room for a HUGe Turbo are Supercharger.... Just a comment!

The first kit, by POWER, shows just this kind of rearrangement. The one from KNIGHT SPORT looks to have been smushed into the existing space, and like it uses the factory acordian intake tube and MAF.

Can't wait to see some dyno charts, pricing, etc...

And pardon my memory, but could someone remind me what "PS" is as related to HP? :) Thanks...

250ps = 247hp do the math :p

1hp = 1.01ps. They are close enough for it to be a wash.

285ps = 281hp

Thanks. Now I know why I couldn't remember it... it was too simple! :D

I always go 1-1 hehe easier to remmeber and not so big of a DIF..

Ok the knightsports one is the TRUST kit.

According to TRUST and RE-Amemiya (buddy mechanic that did the tunning) he said you can boost much out of it or it blows. Right now they are looking into other parts maybe to get the best HP out of your kit.

The POWER one does look nice. I just have a had a little problem in my head about the distance between the Turbo exhaust and turbo intake. I mean they are suppose to be on the same wavelength sort of speak.

Either way---Its turbos. Of course time will tell..........

Question.... Was the 285ps made on a otherwise stock car... or did it already have exhaust and intake upgrades and such?

Just a wonderin...

Cuz if it made those numbers on a stock engine... we should be able to get it over 300 with other mods.

Thanks

Anything to back it?

As for the Knightsports set-up. They have an exhaust, the computer rom and turbo kit that I can see.

They do have that tiny intercooler too.

any idea when or how much money?

The computer is out. I think they are still holding back on the turbo. I have to order some more parts from them today or tomorrow so I will ask.

Im a dork. I read the JP wrong at the AUTO SALON. They had it all cramped in there, so I assumed turbo kit.

Its a Supercharger..... DAMN sorry about that guys..... Here is a pic.
