I have a question for you.
310whp out of the greddy turbo is a such nice number and no one expected it.
That is quite an acheivement, but it is working out of its efficiency range.
What was your boost level when you dynoed it?
And I assume it was on the dynojet uncorrected?

Either way, the turbo is blowing hot *** air!!!
Are you planning to keep the greddy turbo for a long time?

Thanks for your compliment. The Interceptors data logger was showing 13psi and the correction factor was set to "standard" Uncorrected it was 314rwhp.

Have you looked at the compressor map?

At 13 PSI, the turbo is just starting to go outside its 75% efficiency region.
That is the end of its effective range, but still not in the "hot ***" range.

Man, are you kidding. I wish. In Los Angeles it is 91 octane at that high end.

I believe it was Manuel that said that he was running his Greddy turbo at around 12-13 psi. At 14+ psi it became a big heat unit.

I think they are referring to the compressor map of the very similar 18g.

Correct. The Greddy turbo is an 18g cold side hooked up to a TD06 hot side.

13psi at what flow? Does that match the ren's flow at that speed?

Nice results hybrid !! Let's hope you are still happy in two years when my lease is up. If you are, then I may have to reconsider getting rid of the 8 for a more powerful car. Good luck and enjoy the new power.

Tell me what makes an evo a 'rice' car. While you are at it, tell me one performance category rx8 is superior to evo.

I have experience with both cars so talking smack just because you don't like it will only make YOU look bad.

I came to this thread to praise how awesome hybrid's car was. I didnt' come here to hear your bs. I could go on and on about bashing rx8 but I don't do that because I respect both cars.

Back onto topic. IMO, all greddy owners should go buy the interceptor-x and get custom tuned. 310whp is the real power I'm talking about. Frankly, I dont' see 220whp-240whp such an achievement. THIS is an achievement.

At the same time you can't apply your opinion to everyone--some just want that extra kick versus that 'real power' as you say. Because honestly while I usually subscribe to the more power is better mantra--but most of the RX8 owners here could have easily afforded an EVO, STI, Mustang or many 'faster' cars. With that said I'd prefer just a modest increase in power without sacrificing driveability. I've had a modded FD before and right now I'm just not interested in getting back into that game.

OK guys. Take the arguments to PM's. I've gone and cleaned up the last page. Let's keep it that way.
