If you check their website, it says something along the lines of all their turbos are designed to bolt on to completely stock motors, and to be 50 state carb legal.

I'd love to see the kit go into production, but the engine needs work not the FI the small amount of boost we use is directly related to the amount of boost the engine can withstand which is bairly nothing which only relates to a few overstock at the flywheel, I read on their site the made 250 at the flywheel on JDM AT and 256 at the flywheel after they added the turbo we need more PSI for the kit to be worth the money to buy it. But hey I'll buy it if it's the right price and that's 302 rwhp.

I thought I'd seen the CARB statement somewhere, but wasn't sure...thanks.

Comparitively, anything upwards of 250whp isn't too bad as Pettit has only been discussing around 220 for their twin screw set-up. Also, it appears to be a small turbo, so lag shouldn't be much of an issue.

This is what they advertised at SEMA. Looks worth it to me.

Regardless, I still think we should e-mail them and get more support for the car. Other manufacturers will see this and follow suit, and in turn, we will get a larger aftermarket.

Sound fun guys. Sorry my leasing co. won't allow it ...

so.. 300hp at crack probably without having to change any transmission parts?

ps: email sent

My exprience with Greddy in the past leads me to believe that emails are not much of a priority for them; so call them too! That's what I did!

we will c.. but what about the price?! did they talk about it?!
count me in... if it's not over 6k.

e-mail sent, would love to have it.

Yeah got another one here

I wonder if they will respond after a flood of emails.. how funny.

This is killing me.. I wonder who will get my money :) Someone come out with it.

I guess the more difficult part will be knowing a kit is out and having to wait for feedback/results/product usage/etc.... before I buy it...

Sent one just now...I hope manufacturers don't give up on our car. Here's to having a FI kit by 2006.

Here's the kicker though, the guys said that IF they go into production, it'll be available in the first quarter of 2005. That's a big "IF." See, they said they're not sure if there's interest or profit to be made from the kit. They said they're still fine tuning it but they're making around 300 whp from it. We just gotta make sure we show them interest.

Here's what I propose. We should all take the time to e-mail greddy and tell them just how interested we are in their turbo kit for the renesis. The guy sounded very iffy, but I kid you not, we cannot miss out on this kit. WE MUST SHOW INTEREST.

MAYBE THE MODS SHOULD STICKY THIS???

Just talked to the guys at the Greddy booth today and they told me the "kit will sell for $3,000 to $5,000 and will be late Jan or Fer of 05. No plans for a auto kit right now they are tuning the 6S/MT kit with 300whp. But that depends on how much HP the tranny can take on this car."

The I went over to the Protech booth and the guy that owns the shop and the silver RX-8 told me: "MY kit puts out 350whp right now and we are going to do final tuning around 320whp. With a full exhoust system from our shop and a custom 3 way pod where the NAV system gos on the dash."

Great information thankx... Did they give you websites or anything where we can get more information?
