New Turbo Kit!
 

As some of you know we have been working on a "Major Horsepower Upgrade" and here are the results from the latest dyno runs. All runs were performed in fifth gear using 93 pump gas and of course our Interceptor-X E.M.S. We have been asked for an upgrade to the GReddy Turbo Kit, so these results are using the GReddy intercooler and up-tube for customers that don't want to remove the bumper cover for a fresh install. I will have a complete component list, cost and ETA soon. thanks,Scott

1. 5 psi boost controller off
2. 7.5 psi
3. 9 psi
4. Shooting for 12 psi but the ignition system is giving up.

300WHP on 5psi? Holy Crap!!!

Now that is impressive stuff.

nice.. I may hold off on the idea of getting higher gearing on my NA car.

Wow, nice numbers.

Looks Good.......More particulars would be appreciated.........

ditto

BTW at the shop this is what we refer to as a torque shelf, the term curve would indicate a noticable drop in performance:rock:

wow...

Is this going to be only an upgrade, or a full kit?

Well now I know were my money is going when I get back from the desert.

We will offer it in both versions. I expect better results with our Intercooler,ductwork and intake system. Scott

Ahh, then comes the age old question.....

4 port support? :)

WOW... 300 whp at 5psi!!!!!!! CRAZY STUFF! now I have to think

YES! We actually have an Interceptor-X equipped turbo car testing right now.

Very interesting Scott. Just curious though, Manuel from Puerto Rico used to run his Greddy unit all the way up past 12 psi, but stated that it rapidly loses it's efficiency at above 12-13 psi & becomes a heat unit. Were you able to bypass that...new housing on the turbo ? Can't wait to see the components of this one.

Yeah Scott! You really have my attention on this one! I want to know a price (ballpark). I really want to see pics and vids! This looks very good. nice job!

a consistent 200 ft / lbs of torque from 5 psi. That's fuckin great. Shit that alone will make a world of a difference.

Does it make me gay if I'm being turned on by this?

yes it does. :mdrmed:

He's using a different, larger turbo than the GReddy T618Z.

Great numbers. I believe this now rivals the PTP kit. Can't wait to see some more details about the kit.

I have a few questions:

1. Are these Dynos to-the-wheels or have they been adjusted to be at-the-crank? 300HP on 5PSI is very impressive.

2. The 7.5 PSI and 12 PSI curves have glitches in them, but not the 9PSI. Is there a good reason for this or is there a fuel management issue your guys are still working out?

3. You mentioned "Shooting for 12 psi but the ignition system is giving up." Did you mean full system? It seems a little odd that the igniton would give out early. Why would it care about what boost you were running?

I have many standard questions that I'm sure will be answered in your official product announcement.

Sounds promissing.

Thank you sir, I appreciate your honesty.

great job again,

i cant wait to hear / see more, my ? is so it drops off at higher rpm and it is directly related to boost??? and you got the cc working with the turbo??


just an observation.. you are going to cost me money!!!

beers :beer:

btw, linky no worky

I wouldn't mind a good 100 ponies or so. Show us a reasonable price.

so..... hows that 4 porter coming along?

:mdrmed:

Any info on that in regards to hp/tq numbers?

Nice work, Scott.
That curve is so linear, it looks stock, lol.

I look forward to more details :)

really nice


I like it ...

so if you've got a bundle price ...??



before I didn't like the greddy urbo kit cause you've got more power between 7000-7500 rpm than 7500-8000 : it was not more rpm more hp ...


now with the dyno I can see this ... so you keep the spirit of the rx8 more rpm ... more hp

alright scott, i think all of us socal people need to pitch in for a group buy plane ticket for you to install and tune our cars. haha how about that. =)

Hey Scott, SWEET job. Very sweet. You bested Greddy on their own product I'd say.

Question: on the 7.5 psi, what's that sharp dip at 8K RPMs? Why is 7.5 psi dip like that and 5 psi stays so smooth? Is that fuel starvation problem or something?

The more pressure a combustable mixture is under, the more energy it takes to ignite that mix. The stock system is not designed to ignite a compressed mix and simply gets "blown-out" or rather, by-passed. Typical problem on boosted cars.

Hmmm, wish I'd heard about this a week ago, then I wouldn't have gotten my bike.. :/ Oh well. I got 71 horses extra horses.

Too bad, I'm only 20 minutes away!

Great results Scott, temps me further to stay turbo.

AWESOME !!!!

And I only have three years, nine months to go. By then you should have everything worked out, the price will be lower than it will be initially and the numbers will be even more impressive !!!!!

Way to go Scott.. finally we are getting somewhere...

Now if you can pull it off for ~ $5K I'd drive down from Vero and buy it tomorrow...

Same here but I have less than two years. Was thinking about staying NA, but with this system I would deffinatly have a lot of fun with 5 psi.

How much for the complete kit and where do I sign up????

you could build a house on that torque shelf!!! delicious!

i'll bet that was with some pretty warm and humid intake air as well..i'll be interested to see what it runs when temps are in the 60's

is it worth losing 1000rpms of available rev-range? Any way to tune the system to 8400?

You need to just not think that an absolute high redline is always necessary. It isn't I'd rather have an engine that only revs to 7500 rpm and makes the power I need rather than one that revs to 9000 rpm and makes the power I need. Higher RPM's shorten an engine's lifespan. Just keep it low. I'm sure he can still go higher yet as it appears that the ignition is preventing him from doing so but power is power no matter where you have it.

This is a complete slap in the face to all the people who say a Renesis can't handle boost. Basically 350 hp and counting on pump gas and high compression.

But truthfully - we won't know if the Renesis can handle 350hp until months or years from now. 350hp 'might' be a temporary thing. I know Miatas can handle 230-250whp for years because of FlyinMiata. Has anyone had even 300whp in an RX8 for more than a few months? Test of time is important; I'm sure you'd agree.

:)

Not all pump gas is created equal. I think they get 93.5 or 94 in Florida.

looks awesome, sounds expensive. Very expensive.

Just as I convinced myself to stay NA. Must fight temptation. :tear:

Sweet...and I'm moving right next to y'all in three days! I'll have to stop by the shop?! I've been waiting with baited breath ever since I decided I was going to FL to see what y'all would come up with!

I know how you feel! I was about to buy a turbo 2 FC rx7 for about $5000 but i dont know anymore! I dont know what i want, this kit or the turbo'd 7... :dunno: Hopefully the kit is reliable enough. I guess i'll wait it out and see the long term effects of the turbo on the 8.

There is no reason why this can't be reliable. the engine can handle it. What it can't handle is most people's right foots.

I constantly see excuses from all parts of the country. Their gas is better than ours. Their gas is higher octane, etc, etc... I don't belive this as a valid excuse for a second.

I hope that's the case...goes for the tranny and axles and rear end, too :)

How much is the Interceptor? And what exactly is it? help a n00b out

The interceptor thread is about 51 pages long, so don't even try it. I just want a synopsis.

Congrats Scott. These numbers are looking really good.

-hS

That torque SHELF is too crazy, what a change from the Greddy turbo curves, i am amazed you can still retain the NA torque shelf in a turbo-ed renesis. Good tuning Scott! + linear power delivery too!! omg, i want that car, its a crazy machine. I am satisfied with 5psi!
