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

philodox

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)

Fanman

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

davefzr

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

Fanman

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)

epitrochoid

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.

Fanman

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.

philodox

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...

Discman2

Fanman

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