I have a stock RX 8 and want a turbo system. I saw some systems out there and Im new so I was wondering what you all thought of about the BEST MOD PAKAGE AND BRAND OUT THERE! Im not the big balla that can spend 10 g's though but if its an awesome package Ill spend some dalla's. Thanks

 

how much are you willing to spend, Richdawg?
My boost has ended up nearing 10k.

You could get the greddy turbo kit, and tuning session for under $3500 - if you can install the kit yourself.
For less, You could also just get NOS and tuning for under $1500

Yeah, with fuel management the current high end kits (SFR, and PTP turbo kits) will be $6K+ just for the kits with the fuel management units. After install, gauges, gauge pods, etc you are probably getting closer to the $10K area. The Greddy kit will cost about $3K, another $500 in other equipment, install and you are looking at around $5K for about 240-250 whp. If you want more hp you can get other fuel management.

Depends, if you are looking to spend $8K-$10K eventually anyways I would say save up for the big turbo kits. If you are looking to spend $5K-$6K in total then the Greddy will probably be a better choice.

 

For 10k what kit is out there and is it 300hp. The more I hear about the GReddy turbo the less I like it because I hear its not all that.

 

Fanman just said that in his post.

 

The kits FanMan just metioned, SFR and PTP, will get you above 300 hp, for under 10k

 

More like over 300 whp and the ability to go even higher then that. THe greddy kit is pretty maxed out a 300whp and there isnt much options to put bigger turbos in the space that its located. The PTP/SFR kits both have their turbos located upfront and have alot of room to to upgrade and put much larger turbos on. the greddy kit is the cheaper option but really caps out around 300whp while the PTP/SFR kits are only starting at 350/320whp respectively.

 

There will be some more options for the location soon!

 

i still suggest going with NOS,
it's faster and more furious

For 10K these high end kits (PTP & SFR) you're looking at 325 whp+. Just decide what you are really looking for :

$5K = Greddy kit + install, + tuning + misc. equipment = 240-250 whp
$6K-$7K = Greddy kit + upgraded fuel management (+upgraded turbo)+ install, + tuning + misc. equipment = 300-325 whp
$9K-$10K = PTP/SFR unit + install + tuning + misc. eqipment = 325 whp+ (PTP I expect to be 350 whp+).

The 2nd option of getting get an upgraded fuel management unit & upgraded turbo for the Greddy kit, but by then you are looking at almost the price of the other high end kits. Might as well start with a T4/GT35R kit to begin with. Just depends on how much you are willing to spend. Like in life, you have to pay to play.

The Greddy kit, is what it is, an inexpensive turbo kit. Show me another kit that will give you 60-80 whp for $3K.

 

Please elaborate!

I am very close to pulling the trigger on the ptp/sfr kit. I'd like to know what you do

 

Sorry to butt in but has anybody heard anything about this package?

Yeah, that's the Blitz supercharger unit. Way pricey, and rather small. Stated at 40 hp, even with smaller pully you are probably maxed out at 50-60 hp. Not really worth it for $7K. Better alternatives.

 

Oh i thought it would be more upgradeable than that, not worried about the cost because i can get at cost from the company, but i dont need to bother if it maxes at 60hp.....thanks

 

you gotta be kidding me right?? Nos is just a name brand,, sorry... but its nitrous, going to a track and saying "you got nos in that" will prolly get you laughed at.... one of my pet peeves... sorry

 

the only kit out and being used is the greedy...... nobody other that sfr or ptp has posted crap!!!!!! i mean users of sfr or ptp...

sorry, but the greedy + the intercepter + other notes on this site works...

greedy + maddogs emanage mods works....

right now i see only one option for fi....

prove me wrong.. in usa.

beers

 

and mm did it his way... brilliant!!!!

boy am i glad i got that!!!


beers

 

your right... at the moment greddy is the main option, but the other kits are not far off. Would i recommend them, or buy them? I didn't say i would or wouldn't. I was just letting the guy know that he has options.

-hS

 

sorry,
but the check has been in the mail for ptp and sfr for way way to long.....

i mean someone could have stepped up and got a management system that works and then sold a tunner kit...

did not happen.... lots of lame excusess like we could not get a new o2 sensor...

the proof is in the pudding..... so far no one has made a turn key fi soloution....

beers
