any word about whether this will work over here in the left side drivers? I asked japanparts.com a few weeks ago. They said they'd get back to me about a remap or what, and I haven't heard anything.

It's taken time, but:

I've talked to BLITZ about their Supercharger conversion; they suggest this hasn't been done to a Left hand drive Unit and their concern is compatability of the "piggyback Unit" with the US models ECU; which likely differs to JDM or other export models

The guy that posted about the conversion he has done here in earlier postings is in NZ; that means he will have a Right hand drive ( possibly Japanese domestic ) model RX-8

BLITZ assure us there is *no* issue with a Right Hand Drive model, and we have sold the Supercharger conversion for RHD models, and can confirm that installation wasn't an issue ( Part links below )

http://www.japanparts.com/db/partsli...y=135-037-SE3P

This is what BLITZ has used as a testbed for their Supercharger

We have made the offer several times to RX8 Club members that we will provide a Kit at Cost to an RX8 Club member with a LHD RX-8 provided:

(1) they have access to a professional install shop and/or competent mechanic/engineer who will do the install
(2) we are provided with a decent quality install *blog* as the install happens ( pictures/description )
(3) we are provided with torque/hp dyno figures once the Kits installed

What we will provide is:

The Kit at Cost
Technical support from the manufacturer + translation of the install instructions

What we *won't do* is:

Provide the Kit for Free
Make the offer available to anyone who can't fulfill (1), (2) and (3)
Make the offer to more than one RX8Club member

PM me if you want to followup

Best!

Well the Blitz kit is bling and adds 50-60hp and cheaper than the Pettit kit. I would do it if I had the cash.
