Wink SEMA GReddy Turbo RX-8

What I do know:

1. The GReddy turbo kit is installed on my 6M/T, the kit is to be released early next year (don't hold me to it).
2. A/T turbo kit is still being test-fitted in Japan, no ETA yet.
3. Engine cover and air filter cover were custom-fabbed w/lexan by GReddy.
4. Strut tower bars are to be released Dec/Jan.
5. Car will be tuned/dyno'd after it's appearance at SEMA, Nov. 2-5 and is expected to have an output ~303 hp (flywheel) at 7psi.

o0o0o nice install but i'll wait for some specs before i praise Greddy some more, also please tell me they used something other then their emanage.

Also very nice that they hooked up that rear chasis brace to the shocks/springs under the trunk carpet.

They did a hell of a job hiding the turbo down there eh? Look how short the oil feed and return line are. Very cool and in the spirit of keeping the weight down low as Mazda intended. I think it is a TD06-18G. Nicely sized for a low boost street setup like they are looking to acheive. They use the e-manange on everything and it was listed previously unless something changed. From what I remember the boost was set to 0.4kg. This is all old information based on the Trust setup.

Nice to see this year ending with a raft of various forced induction options. Next year looks to be a good one. It would be even better if any of them become CARB legal.

I keep looking at it and keep thinking to myself how easy that would be to pass off as stock.

I like the rear strut brace as well. Keeps the trunk usable.

wow! that is awesome. that install looks like it's gonna be pricey on top of the kit itself. I also hope it doesnt use the emanage unless they have a new version of it.
