Hymee does not own a RX8 now. My car is the only one with the Hymee kit running. i purchased my kit off Revolver and was installed by Danny's workshop, Automotive Plus.

Danny has purchased two kits for his cars however, after his engine died due to tuning issues it has not been reinstalled.

This kit still has some flaws. The main problem seems to be with the bypass valve which will need a redesign. Danny, will be attending to this once he finds the time in his busy schedule. I am happy with my kit despite the minor problems.

There are other kits out there so we may hear from other owners over time.

My build thread has all the photos and progress details: https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-major-horsepower-upgrades-93/skc-supercharger-build-218874/

Huh good to see this up..... but may be going a different route with FI now. My kit may be up for sale soon.

haha, the Hymee kits are like ancient art. Only a few and they keep getting sold to new people.

yeah and they are still in boxes never used :rofl:

Best option is to send the kits to Danny of Automotive plus so he can fix the defects and then it is good to install.

However, the bypass valve has not been fixed yet so you will have to wait until Danny has had a chance to address this issue. Once the bypass is sorted the idle issue should be resolved.

did you try running without the spring? worth a shot

Ancient art? Like a 1948 Tucker sedan maybe ... :stickpoke

Thread revival: I sent my kit to Bullet cars in Queensland, Australia to get the system modified. the following items where changed:
Original bypass blocked off
new bypass added just before the intake plenum
Larger oil line added for engine oil lubrication
Machined for larger bolts
Machined for better slow of oil around gears

My new engine is in run in mode for the first 1000km and then the supercharger gets strapped on. Hopefully should be back on and running within a month.

Getting closer to installing the supercharger. I have been in touch with Brettus to help with the tune.

The next steps

1/ reinstall the remote oil filter
2/ purchase new injectors rather than reuse old ones
3/ block off the engine oil feed (plan to use gear oil instead)
4/ Install supercharger
5/ Tune

So it getting very close to installation time

My kit is sitting oiled in a box in the garage. Let me know how the changes go!

Getting close at step 4 now. Probably attempt install the supercharger tomorrow.

I have blocked off the engine oil feed so i will order some gear oil.

Mazdaedit installed with tactrix so I can get it tuned.

What oil can I use? Will gear box oil work?

How do I attach this part? I cannot find where it mounts to, any pictures available. I want to get my supercharger installed and running asap.

it's the air conditioner belt pulley. look for two holes on your sc mounting plate over on the left (.au passenger side) of the engine :dunno:

now that I have seen this

it looks like it uses this mounting stud.

It has two bolts so I was thinking there would have been a mounting block perhaps?

post a pic of the front mounting plate. after looking at the red mounting plate I still think there would be two holes on the bottom left of it for it to bolt on to.

doese look like it is missing a part to bolt to.

this pic below shows the origional mounting point is still available and there is nothing on the sc mounting plate in that area.

Thanks for the picture.

I have an additional pulley could be for the a/c. I may have to use the modified pulley instead to the stock.

Here is another photo

I have the modified pulley. I have printed this photo and tonight I will try to see how I can get it attached

SKC,

based off the photos above that is the AC belt idler. It sucks. I never figured out how to accurately tension it. But it does attach through those front cover bolts
