It's somewhat difficult to get the right info while I'm overseas, but these are the things I do know re: manifold:
1) Trust Japan sent the J-Spec kit to GReddy USA for fitment on the US-Spec '8 a couple months back
2) Everything fit except the manifold. GReddy made measurements and sent the specs back to Japan for fabrication.
3) Once completed, the re-fabbed manifold was sent back to the US for fitment and installed right before SEMA.

Is this kit available for the public to see anywhere for those of us located in so cali? Anything at all that may be coming up in the future? Or do we all have to wait for the unveiling?
I know other companies have have an open door policy and you can drop by to see the kit in action.. this might not be the case though with such a big company.

greddy's kits are often a bit conservative in nature due to their reputation. better to have a bunch of 'quick' customers than ones with blown motors. rest assured that this kit will be as bolt on as possible when it hits the shelves. honestly, i'm a little afraid of 300whp (SFR/SSR kit) with this drivetrain.
you can always up the boost or upgrade the turbo components though

Just saw on Greddy Japan's site they've officially released the Greddy RX-8 turbo kit in Japan -
http://www.trust-power.com/06new/260..._turbokit.html
Looks like it comes with an intercooler and everything. Price is 390,000 yen, which is $3700 or so US. I would guess a US street price of $3000-3500.

but it didn't really tell me much
For $3000, I'd buy that in a second. How much do install fees typically run?

Just now. We're at now, now.
Go back to then.

2. The last update from GReddy was that the tuning was complete, but the car was doing funny things on their 2-wheel dyno; it was adjusting for only two spinning wheels. The solution was to look for a 4-wheel dyno to get an accurate hp/tq measurement.
3. My car will be in the GReddy booth at GT Live! 18-19 Dec. You can do a Q&A with the folks there and then. I'll only be there on Sat.

Cant wait.... Should be able to check out some cool cars too as they are setting up.

Today I got mail from GReddy that told that they have their turbo-kit ready for the 8. Kit includes GReddy T618Z turbine, exhaust manifold, muffler adaptor, intercooler, piping, fuel management (e-manage), Airinx filter and various other bits that are required for installation. I don't have the exact power figures for that, but I assume that it will be something nice
