I have an 05 rx8 Whitewater pearl GT6spd fully loaded with carPC

I finally got the ***** (and money) to call Scott @ mazsport back today and order the type 3 turbo kit, all ceramic coated with the ignition solution and some new plugs. (i gotta order that resonated midpipe now too)
I cant wait till i get this kit and install it. im looking into getting a methanol injection, possibly from SNOW performance. seems to be the company everyones talking about. anyway.
I almost decided to sell the car in the aspect of its hopeless to get power.
I just love the car and the way its layed out and all the nice features.
After spending money on mazdaspeed exhaust, revi intake, act clutch and mazdaspeed flywheel. I dynoed a whopping 183 rwhp. quite pathetic and i believe lower than stock. ifigured at least 200. but whatever, it will all be over as soon as scott send me a nice (expensive) package i believe it will be worth the wait.

Im thanking Scott @ Mazsport from now.

180 is about average.

congrats, and be sure to post pics.

 

Sweet!!!!!!!!

I am curious why you decided on the Mazsport Turbo3.

 

The Mazsport kit got almost everything you need, the most power, and i dont have to piece out products from multiple vendors. i picked the type 3 over the type 1 basically because i want it to be as visually amazing as it does perform. and im already in the hole for a buttload of cash, whats another $500! so yeah. I also splurged for the extra ceramic coating of all the components for the extra bling. Im gonna be in the poor house for a lil bit. WORTH IT.

 

Yeah, it's definately a complete kit.

Did you order some gauges and a boost controller?

 

Just bought the new dual resonated midpipe from Scott.

Still gotta get those. Gonna get Defi's or AM Nexus, then i still gotta get the boost controller, turbo timer, Scanalyzer software for my carPC. Meth kit, drag radials, MS supension?, sway bars, .......... I went over budget by so much. I think im gonna cry if i continue.!!!

Nice choice. No better turbo kit on the market than Mazsport's, imo.

 

 

Haha...I guess, but with that you also get what you paid for.

 

Hmm.. keep us updated.

 

why not the type 2?

 

Does anyone on here already have the Type 3 yet?

 

check the type 3 thread and look at Blue Monsters

 

I`m waiting for the type 2 and some extensive body work...

 

I'm wondering why you didn't go Type 2. Would have saved ya quite a bit of money (to spend on boost controller, gauges, pod, etc )

 

HOW WOULD THE TYPE 2 SAVE MONEY OVER THE 3?? ITS $1500 MORE

 

but its badass. air to water I/C

 

oops, I always forget the type 2 is more.
But yeah...the air to water IC is pretty slick.

 

Dont feel bad I dynoed bone stock 174whp and 126tq.

Of course it was in the summer here in Dallas and I think it was 98 degrees that day.

 

Good luck and good purchase!

 

The ATW intercooler doesn't have as much capacity as the FM. I almost wish I had a type 3, but at the same time, I can pass a visual inspection if necessary with my type I. It is a tough battle. Good luck. Who is doing the install?

 

Yeah I suggest never dynoing another rx8 without getting forced induction. It makes you wanna sell it! I was so close to purchasing an rx7 (the black one from phoenix on ebay RHD) but the guy wanted 5 grand on top of a flat trade with my 8! HELLS NO! he was gonna trade me his for mine straight up (we figured the cars @ 25grand. (plus he wanted an extra 5). now hes down to 14,000 on ebay and nobody is bidding - oops never mind, it hit 15k and sold.
Anyway.
I sprung for the type 3 because i was already over budget, i figured i may as well dig my hole a tiny bit deeper.
My Step brother will be doing the install. hes been workin on rotaries and turbos for a long long time, and seems to know more then these local rotary guys ive spoken to. He owns a first gen and 2nd gen along with a 13b corolla that are insane- nice looking and fast! I dint just pick him, he showed me his work and how clean his installs/conversions are.I have 100% faith in him... I even had him to talk to scott @ mazsport and he said he would definitely recommend him doing the install from their conversation. The only thing im waiting for know is the actual product!!! LETS GO SCOTT!!!!!!!

 

Congrats man!!!

Be sure to post pictures!!

 

wow, congrats man. kit3 was the one i wanted too but i just couldn't afford it. when are you expected to receive the kit and have the installs done? which clutch are you gonna choose

 

If you will utilize the meth injection, make sure whatever you get comes with the failsafe.

If for any reason , meth line or the pump fails, you can say good bye to your engine.

Aquamist is also a viable option.

Good luck with the build.
