doh you had a trap in your line and it was freezing... good catch jon. at least it was a simple fix

 

Yeah, I noticed it this morning when I started the car up. Glad it was a simple fix. Not sure what I would have had done if the actual turbo was leaky and I had to send it to GReddy for replacement.

 

Thanks Jon. Glad you found your problem

 

Has anyone else installed the Greddy Kit yet? Just wondering if you saw any issues that haven't been covered yet.

 

It looks like the price is going up. Everyone seems to be over 3550 for this kit now. (Hopup, Mazdatrix and RX8 Store)

 

Take a look at city-speed. I got mine there and they were $2900. Also Intense Motorsports (AZ) has it for $2999.

 

^^^ response to dave's post....vividracing is usually way overpriced and they have it for $3099.99. not bad.

i-m-racing.com has it for $2,999

these are just a few vendors....need to look in the right places grasshoppa

 

Oh thats good to hear. I didnt even think that Vivid had it up on their website yet. I have a 160 dollar credit with them too.. Hmm

 

I think most vendors are out of the units. Next wave is the late Feb.-early march timeframe. Another vendor that has a few units in stock is Ratary Extreme. They have it on special this month for $3295. I got mine at City Speed for $2929 + $90 shipping. They were super fast in delivering the product. I know they started with 3 kits but I think they are sold out until Feb.

 

I am with mazdamaniac on this one and that can shoudl then go into the intake side of the turbo. That is how mine will look once i get it. For now i have a small "breather filter" on the oil neck over the nipple. (yeah i know)

 

i think greddy is trying to set a price floor on the kits...someone mentioned greddy bitching at them for pricing that was too low. if you call these vendors, they may be able to work you a better deal.

i'd recommend hopupracing.com (~$2900). i bought my exhaust from them and they were great through the whole process.

 

Yeah, I think it was Jason over at the RX8 Store that said that. If you call them he may work with you on pricing. Actually Hopup racing is listing it at : $3565, but you should call and they can work something out with you. I got my gauges from them, and I agree with epitrochoid, they shipped super fast.

 

Blowoff valve..... Milky dipstick.... two nipples..... This post has gone down the toilet!


Next thing you know, someone is going to talk about where they've been "laying pipe" for the turbo system.

 

Well... it's confirmed... 7deg F cold startup today with zero issues. Thank goodness.. I had dreams last night about a puff of exhaust smoke chasing me all over town.

 

Just make sure that puff of smoke does not have little red lights in it...

 

Can this be used on an AT?

 

No

 

you can make it work. take it to PFS.

 

WOW. Now im really impressed. This is the first time since you guys have gotten boosted that ive gone to sleep and woken up and there were NO NEW POSTS! By the way, congrats on you guys great accomplishments. Lots of prestige being the guinea pigs!

 

^ Because of rotten weather. Everyone is off the road.

 

Yeah, where I live another inch of snow fell last night.. the only bright side is I can head to the parking lot down the road and practice my "fishtail" recoveries

 

We got an inch of snow with a layer of ice below it and above it.
Hard enough to walk let alone drive.

 

location, location, location. not boosted, but 76deg right now.

beers

 

^ I can do without all the year-long rain. Thanks anyway.

Now Arizona is another story...

 

Jeff you're a mind reader.. I was thinking of moving out that way after I am finished getting the rest of my pilot certs.
