Wait, now I'm confused. I thought Greddy made the Turbo kit for an AT only? I may have been living under a rock for not catching up that they made it for MT now. Geez, the things I miss out on...

 

u will probably never see a turbo for an AT on this car. i dont plan on counting on one. instead im gonna hook up a 5.0 mustang with a turbo and spank out 500hp after dyno tunes and engine work.

 

well RE Amemiya has one for the auto, but I'm currently unwilling to pay nearly $6000 for it and have to deal directly with a Japanese company if I have problems.

 

Nah, I have a stick not auto. I'm just confused now because the whole this Greddy turbo was still under development, they kept showing an RX-8 that uses 4-port Renesis (AT only in US). I'm happy that it's ultimately for the M/T now, but what about that AT thing they were working at before?

 

dunno, that was just the response I recieved when I emailed them.

 

NO welding required form the looks of things. Looks like it come with a hose barb that attaches to your oil pan drainplug. Kinda of a pain to have to remove that to drain the oil, but oh well, if it keeps me from having to buy a new pan to cut a hole in and weld a bung to (stil desiring to keep the "stock" pan if need be) i don't care. Getting too late to think, have the kit assembled on my floor (mock up i was bored). Might be putting this on this weekend if i can find the time (installing new springs in my bro in law's z. mmmmm turbo

 

Them? Them who?

My understanding from my mags was the the RE Amemiya kit was an experimental joint venture between Greddy and RE Amemiya, with Greddy doing a large part of the work. There were concerns about the AT being about to handle all the extra power and no word about actually releasing it. A more recent mag article showed an install on a couple cars done by Greddy at Greddy for owners. I think theirs came with an oil pan, so I don't know what happened to it...

 

Them being info@greddy.com

 

Oh I see. :D Thanks.

 

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWE that greddy oil pan looked really nice)...damn them i say..gimmie the oil pan too ah well....if you can hook up teh return line to the drain plug at least you don't have to drill and weld:D

 

Yeah, I was mistaken, it looks like a "t" fitting that goes into the oil pan drain plug that the return line connects to. At least that's what the picture on the instructions looks like.. Must have been tired when I stated it needed to be drilled and welded

 

Can you scan the instructions? I think we'd all like to see how complete they are. Also, would you consider spreading out the actual contents and taking pictures?

(EDIT: Duh...I just found the instruction PDF...)

 

I've uploaded the Greddy instructions that philodox emailed me to my site.
It's a 1MB .pdf file with pictures of the complete kit.

The mazdatrix site has the kit laid out, that is exactly what is included in the kit.

I've emailed greddy usa on the oil pan issue, i'll post up what they give back to me....

 

Please do. Even if it's not part of the kit, I'd like to think I could buy one from them.

 

Thanks Silver.

I wish the pictures were a little clearer. I'd really like to see where the oil return setup better. Are they returning the oil to a level which is normally above the engine-running level in the pan? I presume they're not...but I dunno.

 

back to this thread's topic....here is another vendor selling the kit for under $3000. I don't know if they charge tax and how much is shipping:

I just noticed they finally listed the RX8 kit on the Greddy site.
Only $4195.00 from them. Looks like $2950 is the cheapest so far.
