Three dots (...) is known as an ellipsis. I do not think it means what you think it means. :)
|
hahaha its just how im always use to typing dont mind me
|
yeah i just hope i can tell you guys everything thats good about this kit....... so i wont be the only one here that'll experiece it.....
|
I'm amazed that it's taken them so long, and for like $2k more that the greddy kit, I would thnk that the for the same price you could get more out of the greddy. IMHO
|
not really the kit has allready been out for half the year now....... 2 people got it but their not on the boards..... ill be the first to tell you guys my experience's with it
|
What engine management are they using for it, TSI?
|
I'm more interested in how your car will be running 10,000 miles after the install, than how it runs on the drive home. ;)
:D |
I agree with dmp, greddy has a much more proven track record of things not blowing up
|
Musta had heaps of dramas to finally get the kit ready ... Bit suspect
Greddy's tried and tested and can get the same HP figures with only minor tweaking Just my 2cents |
To be fair guys none of these kits, GReddy included, are really tried and tested. There simply hasn't been enough time.

id let my engine take the heat if i didnt have to pay the hefty fee to install a ssr turbo.
i just cant afford a turbo, but i crave hearing the whistle of a turbocharger under my hood.... |
All I have to say about this is: FUCKIN FINALLY!
|
^ me too...
when you get it installed try to put about 20k miles on your car in like 2 months..then we can all see how it holds up :D |
LoL you lucky bastard
|
Why did u pick this unit over ptp's ? Close to same peak power plus boost kicks in sooner...

jds but it doesn't take science or long-term tests to know a system adding 50whp is going to stress the drivetrain much less than one adding 150...etc...numbers for example only. Plus - I think those were the guys who were kinda shady...I hope it works out, however! :) |
they are using ric shaw tsi unit ......
and the reason why i picked SPEED FORCE over PTP is because the shop is much closer to me... i can report problems to them easier... they can fix problem easier....it take like 15 mins from my house to get to the shop.... and plus TIM and the guys from SPEEDFORCE are really cool.... plus the previous work impressed me.... remember keith tah lil supra making ridiculous horsepower... thier 944... and the g35 that they have in the shop |

Ciao Dave |
Also...what makes you think the owner with the Greddy who has had it for 12,000 miles guns it from every stoplight like I would? :D

yeah i mean its not really tested in miles yet but then again 12000 mile isnt really good miles to tell.... give it about 3 to 4 years then we can tell.... as far as a reason i picked this is also the power output that its giving out..... and if your comparing it to greedy.... how about if HKS puts out a system.... can you compare them also.... no because off course HKS will win because of their quality and performance...... how about if ACOSTA motorsports... put out a system for the renesis.... knowing the previous success with their 3 rotor..... will you trust ACOSTA over greddy.... my conclusion you cant really tell how smooth our car will go... everything in our car is so new that we just cant tell.... how did greddy become so trusted because of time....... now why not be the first to trust SFR/SSR like the first to trust greddy when they were new and let their company grow.....

huh? those ...'s are killing me.
|
Good luck and post pics and info as soon as the install is complete.
|
im just excited... cant wait 12 more days..... by the way any questions you guys have for me to ask them
|
My friend called SSR a couple months ago in reference to the turbo. He said they wanted him to take his car to thier main shop in Pheonix (is that where you are going for your install?). He also said the reason he didnt go ahead with the install is because they lied to him about it being emmisions friendly. I wish you the best of luck with the install, but be wary.
When you post the dyno sheet, also post a copy of the receipt ;) |

waaaaaaiiiit. ssr has a shop in phoenix? grrr maybe ill sell all my worldly possessions to have them install a turbo on my baby.
hey ssr you wouldnt be willing to help a poor boy out would ya? howabout for a donor car? i promise i will drive like crazy with your product on my car and report the results.... sound like a deal? yea i didnt think so....... |
i have never spoken to SSR i mainly dealt wy SPEED FORCE RACING. SSR is in pheonix , and SFR is in sandiego.plus I knew that it wasnt gonna be street legal. and i sure will post dyno sheets but as far as reciept, i cant really discuss the price.

ok what do you guys think keep the piping polished.... ir get it powder coated gold. ive been debating this for a while now. so now i need your help
|
I haven't been watching this thread lately until I noticed it was already June 16th. Where the hell have those last few days gone? It's like just yesterday I was congratulating him for having balls...and next thing you know it's 4 days till the install. Sigh...
|
four more days.... any question you guys want me to ask them....oh yeah and should i go with a polished look or powder coat the pipings gold
|
Gold would look ghetto fabulous, stick with polished.
|
Congrats man!! 1 more day. I hope one day I can save some cash and put a turbo in my 8. The time will come and it'll be sweet. Good luck. vegas.

Please Post Pics Of The Final Product!! Nice!! I'm Excited For You.
|
So whats up?!?
|
Hopefully he doesn't hold back on us for days like SSR would. Announce something and not come through for another 3 - 4 weeks afterwards
|
hahah you guys are already talking sh*t. well unfortunately.SFR was short staffed, and it was really understandable. as one of my friends recently died by a fatal gunshot wound. it turned out that 2 of their mechanics was a friend with the same guy.plus two extra cars came in a black ferrari, and the original rx8 with the sfr turbo came in to get the turbo taken off because he was gonna take it to the dealership for some warranty issues. so tim rescheduled my install for next monday. but he told me to give him a call saturday to see if they were fine. i know you guys was really excited. so was i. but next week guys.,if everything goes well at the shop. it should be in.
|
Jip!.....
