I just saw a pic of it in the new SCC.....doesn't say much about it tho....jus a pic and one sentence saying that hks has a turbo kit coming out....i assume it is for the jdm 8......

things are looking up guys.... :D

No mention as to when, or the most important question for us in CA...IS IT CARB APPROVED???

DreRX8

I saw that two--it had a signature HKS air intake, but it was the smallest blurb ever.

rotarygod

I seriously doubt it's carb approved. That approval process costs alot of money. It wouldn't be worth it. The best way to avoid it is to not live in California.

but isn't HKS located in Cali? they HAVE to have it CA carb legal. plus, CA gets everything before everyone else.

rotarygod

They don't have to do anything. They can just sell it as an "off road use only" product. The buyers uses it at their own risk.

gotcha. guess you guys gotta move outta CA :D

Razz1

Or buy RP's Super Charger.

It will pass the test even with out a Cert.

rotarygod

It won't pass a visual test in California. Here in Texas (a part of that state that does test), they just plug into the OBDII port under the dash. If they see no codes, you pass. Simple enough. No visual inspection or anything.

^^^ Does that mean we're good to go in TX? D

rotarygod

If you are in a county that doesn't have emissions then definitely. If you are in one that does, as long as you don't throw an CEL's, you're good to go.

Fanman

So is Greddy, & it's turbo kit is not CARB approved (yet).

mikeb

anyone got a pic or hp numbers?

Hybrid-RX8

It's not coming soon guys...it was only in prototype stage @ Tokyo Auto Salon...... at least a year if not more..

takahashi

Prototype in Tokyo AC is the supercharger... where did you get the tubro kit from?

Is there another RX- 8 from HKS that I missed?

DreRX8

SCC states it as a turbo--I need to get out a magnifying glass to see if I can see the engine internals.

DARKMAZ8

I know.....It is very true when ppl say that SCC shows no rotary love....

takahashi

I heard and read Japanese magazine that blue car was a supercharged RX-8. Anyway, no further info yet so we just have to wait until they announce anything lor.

I dont remember where I remember hearing this, but I think they blew the engine in that car.

Im not positive on that though.

They must have gone over 13 PSI if it did...

RX-Hachi

I'm with Takahashi on this one. I think SCC got it WRONG. I also read in Option magazine, a jdm tuner mag, that the blue car shown from the Tokyo Auto Salon (same car shown in SCC mag) had the new HKS Supercharger.

takahashi

Well thanks Hachi.

The HKS is advertising their new supercharger (centrifuge type or something?! ). There are many models of car had one put on. The 3 series BMW won a prize too!

No data on the Supercharger on the RX-8 yet. I have not even seen the data on the Z yet?!

This Is Driving Me Nuts. I Know Theres A Pic Of This Somewhere On The Forum... Looks Like The Sickest Kit All Shinny And Purple Pieces Where Is This Pic!!
