From my last conversation with Richard:

- Engine cover will not fit.

- he's putting in a new intake so you'll lose the Revi but not sure if the Air Duct will be able to reach the new intake.

 

No.
No.

 

Next is the 4cyl Hyundai Tiburon kit right? lol

 

About that RB intake duct...it works with the stock intake as well....do you (Richard) know yet where your intake will be getting its air supply? I'm having a hard time picturing it, from the pictures recently posted it looks like it would work (I realize that the intake will be different).

The ram air duct might work but the REVi won't.

 

I'm only talking about the ram air duct.

 

Also have to lose the underdrive pulleys.

isn't the outlet of a blower enough of a ram air duct?

 

I was wondering about that... so I'd want to take my agency power pulley off?

 

Only if you don't want your blower spinning slower.

 

why would it spin slower? and does it not come with its own pullies??sorry... noob...

 

it would spin slower becuase the supercharger runs off the A/C belt. And since the AP underdrive underdrives the A/C by 20% you get 20% less supercharger also.

Not including the underdrive is like taking 5 steps forward and 1 step back.

If nothing else but to fight water pump cavitation at high rpms.

 

Too funny !

 

so to have the ap pullies still installed will hurt the performance but not buy a whole lot..~10whp? or more? sorry.. i have the ap pullies,i still have the stock ones somewhere, but would rather not have to change them out... its an easy job now, but still.. im really looking forward to the S/c

 

The pullies will affect the performance and tune of the car with the SC. If you want to keep the pullies you will have to do some other FI to keep the numbers.

 

There are other pulley sets out there that underdrive the water pump and alternator by replacing their pulley out. Then the main engine pulley would remain stock. The problem then would be the belt supplied would be too long and you would need to source one of the proper length.

 

Some plastic surgeons offer a two for one special. You could double your pleasure and have the afsc.

all i want to know is why there are no pics of RP..

 

what about having the UR pulleys with this kit?

 

Lose the underdrive pulleys guys with this setup guys--its that simple. You may also want to invest in a better water pump(there WILL be one available) while you are at it, change out the clutch/throwout bearing(mine has 40K on it now), mop mod-both volumne and pick up(unless you want to continue to run pre mix), do better grounding for the coil packs, BE SURE your fuel pump is ok(especially you track dogs) and get a high flow cat.
RP i was wondering does your strut bar have a master cylinder brace on it?
DO you need a SE beta tester/abuser damn fool to present to this region? Not asking for a freebie.
The Renasis is looking better soon.

Officially RP said "NO PULLEYS"... no pulleys means no pulleys.

The only thing that may work are some that are like what alneilsen was talking about... ones that do not touch the main crank pulley. And this is a MAYBE... asis no warranty, don't call RP asking for help, etc.

Really. Just dump the freaking pulleys people.

 

+1

 

As long as the crank pulley stays the stock size, you'll be fine changing the rest out.

 

richard is doing a great job providing a complete kit that will provide the power you want in a safe manner... why does everyone have the need to "improve" upon it

 

On a similar note, the same could be argued for Mazda's effort on with the RX-8.
