I liked your line about being on campus somewhere. I understand what you are saying. It really needs to under load, like on a dyno to see the real boost story.
Like I said, the video was just a bit of a teaser. It was not meant to portray a dyno run or anything like that. Just a bit of fun to get you revved up
I'll do some logging for real when we get it all together on the engine dyno Then we can stop playing hypotheticals.
Cheers,
Hymee.
PS - I'll probably not be in the best of moods after sitting on a plane for 12 hours
!!

It give me a great deal of pleasure to announce that Omicron will be having one of these kits fitted in the US for his enjoyment, once we get our components sorted, and something up and running here.
I also have another keen US forum member lined up, but he wishes to remain anonymous at this stage. So things are looking positive.
Thanks Omicron!! I'm sure you can't wait for instant boost
Progress... Happening slowly. To keep you fed, here are some CAD solid models I have been working on. Not finished yet, but these are some bits related to the water jackets for the air-water intercooler, or after-cooler if you prefer. The aim here is to be able to get these parts CNC milled.
Cheers,
Hymee.

And I'd be happy to test and adapt (if needed) your kit for Std Power and EU RX8!
I guess you'll be using a separate water cooling system for the charge intercooler. Will you use an electric water pump?

Rasputin,
The std power will be interesting !!! I need some justification for it though... Lets just get the 6 port done!!!
Yes - separate water cooling system for the charge intercooler, and a 12V electric pump.
I can post some photo's of the pump perhaps over the weekend.

You may not have to come to Colorado... although that'd be cool... as I'm really going to try to make it to Seven Stock next year.

In the mean time, Breckenridge is a ski town in Colorado that was founded during the gold mining era. It also happens to be where they shot part of Dumb and Dumber, and where the troop in Cannibal, The Musical (from creators of Southpark) were headed.

Hymee is his own boss for all things RX-8.
Hymee has a real boss in terms of my profession. Hence anything I do/sell for the RX-8 community is not clouded by a greedy desire for profits. But it does give me a good feeling to be able to get something of quality and undisputed benefit to other like minded car enthusiasts. I didn't by my RX-8 as a means to enter a market segment for performance products. Things have just fallen into place that way, and I have managed to team up with some very experienced individuals in a mutually beneficial way.
BTW - Birmingham AL, is not that far from where I am right now

If I were still there, I would drive up and visit. Huntsville's only about 2 hrs. I went to university at UAH for a year.
But as it is, it's about a 30 hr drive from where I am now...
