I just wetted my panties...

I saw an article in Modified magazine today on the RE Amemiya RX8 w/Trust turbo kit it put out 256 whp & 325 lb.-ft. torque. Either that was a typo (it should be 225 lb.-ft., not 325 lb.-ft.) throughout the article or holy Jesus that is a huge jump in torque !!! Isn't Trust in Japan = Greddy in America ? They had an upgraded tranny system.

davefzr 10-28-2004 05:33 PM

Yeah it's probably a typo.. I would take those numbers for a MT car even... very nice.

titaniumgrey 10-29-2004 06:10 AM

awesome work dude! , got any pics of it without the engine covers?

Yes, I use to know why they have the two names but I don't recall.


This kit looks nice. I'm not a huge fan of GReddy, but they do make quality parts however. I'm interested to hear more when more people start using it.

256 whp .... thats pretty damn good! lol , anyone have any idea what turbo is included in this kit and what is that greddy replaced in the last pic ? Is that a upgraded transmission or oilpan ?

I think its an upgraded sump (oilpan) to hold the additional oil required for the turbo.

Let me clear something up, in case there was some confusion...

The kit for the US-Spec kit has not been tuned nor dyno'd and won't be for sometime. I am currently serving in Korea and left the car in the expert hands of GReddy for SEMA preparation. Expect HP/torque numbers in the December timeframe.

The two undercar photos include the replacement oilpan that will be supplied with the kit (no drilling into the stock pan necessary).

That is one sweet looking kit. I hope the numbers are good because this kit looks like the one I will be getting. I was looking into the SFR kit but I think they are having a stupid outer body experience with thier pricing. All I can hope is that Greddy doesn't do the same, which I'm pretty sure they won't, because Greddy actually wants to sell some kits.

punishr 10-31-2004 03:39 PM

One more thing.

Hey Shawrf1, does this kit include a front mount intercooler? And does it include upgraded fuel injectors?

GrRx8MaZdA 11-01-2004 06:41 AM

Hey Rob i think you will left as behind with this turbo :D.....Your car is far better i think with this turbo.Look+hp!!!The best compination

Finally a turbo kit from a reliable company!

Feras 11-01-2004 09:12 AM

this will be awesome the aftermarket is beginning to blossom

murix 11-01-2004 10:16 AM

One interesting question. It is supposed to be all bolt in, but how exactly do you bolt the turbo and manifold in? Looks like a tight fit down low. Almost like you would have to pull the motor but I doubt Greddy would make anyone do that. I need to go look at my car at the clearance.

army_rx8 11-02-2004 01:13 PM

shawrf1 hey sorry it took me so long to respond...iwas out of touch for a while. I just moved back home after getting my honorable discharge :D Fort Stewart Sucked big time... i'd say it's one of the worest posts be be posted. But all in all it asnt' all that bad. Fort irwin huh? have fun playing in the dust bowel....haha I'm sure it can't be too bad to be stationed there..visiting wasnt' too fun...but it had its' moments.

Hmmm doesn't Sema start today? or do i have the dates messed up? I was never good at keep track of things like that.
