good question. i know that this is off topic. But somebody PLEASE

 

I have upgraded Goodridge Stainless Steel Brakelines & Hawk Brake pads. You can go to the upgraded Brembo calipers (www.mazdatrix.com). Or if you are tracking it, you can upgrade the rotors (slotted or slotted & cross drilled).

 

One of our customer who bought a tuner kit gave me an update this week.He is picking up his car on Monday and the shop that did the install and tuning is saying they made about 400WHP with some race fuel on a stock motor Apparently they have blitzed passed the 300WHP mark as we already have too.

Our test car is still at the dyno.I need to check out a boost leak.I think one of the pipes came off so I need to get it back on so we can finish the car which should be this week.

 

well. great 400whp. but, hay, how much did those people boost it. like 20PSI. :p
i think most of us here do trust your result of getting it over to 300whp. however, what we would like to know is that how long can the engine last.

 

did u say race fuel?? what octane and how much per gallon ???

 

How great would it be to have an RX-8 with 350-400rwhp. Then, I think the 8 should be changed to a 5 speed car since our 6th gear is mostly used only to get the revs lower. Not take out 6th gear, just change 6th gear so that we can cruise at 70-80mph around 3k-3.5k to save on gas.

I thought I read something on the forums where someone is making the gear ratio like that?

That's be pretty nice, speed in the first 3-4 gears and then 5-6 just to cruise

 

lol, i would prefer to have a STREET car that doesnt need RACE fuel.

 

****, I can barely afford the premium now days...I'm not even trying to think about race fuel. Good gains though, but I still wanna see the dyno sheets.

 

what type of racing fuel is SFR talking about and what would be the cost? and can the SFR turbo kit run w/o racing fuel????

 

We are not sure of the details on this customers car yet.He just sent me an email with an update.We use 91 octane gas for all of our tuning so yes the SFR kit works with pump gas.We have eclipsed the 300WHP mark on 91 but we are not finished yet. Those who have access to 93 or better would have better gaisn then what we are abel to accomplish on the 91 octabe crap fuel out here in Cali.

 

Thats awsome. Post some dynos for us!

 

ya

other subject

what do u guys think of PTP motorsport's turbo they are coming out with soon?

 

that there is another thread for it for a reason?

 

What does Speed force racing think about think about the ptp kit is the real question. Do they feel they have a superior product? why or why not?

 

What proof can we get. Im not tring to bash either kit im just trying to get the best kit for my car :D

 

Well, each company obviously feels that they have the superior product, or they would have worked on it together.

 

I know. I was looking for tangible evidence from SFR, or atleast a good reasonable arguement from them.

 

good luck with that, i seem to remember them taking like 4 weeks to dyno a car after the turbo was installed......

 

wow.... im not discrediting there kit or here to bash SFR. I like their kits for the z and the supra so im just wanting something to back up their claims. but wow......4 weeks!?!

 

hey, im just telling you what I recall, which might be waaaaaaaaaay off base, personally I would wait to see dynos and price points from both and make an intelligent decision.

 

Oh i know, thats what im doing. Im just looking for the best kit i can get.

 

To me theres nothing really to compare greddy is a low budget kit and ssr is top quality.from what I seen on the forums theres been like 6 greddy kit sold after they been installed because they were not happy and god knows how many other that are not on the forum.I personally know someone with one and the car runs like crap dont get me wrong it pulls but not a car for a daily driver. Right now this kit is going for 2800 and believe me it will keep dropping in price.

 

The PTP and SFR kit are by far superior to the greddy kit. But that superiority comes with a premium price.

 

Sure does i still cant see myself putting 7000 grand to my car

 

7000 grand = $7 million???
