What the HELL did i just watch?

 

Best laugh I had in a while!

 

Lmao, best thread hijack ever.

 

The point is not to make a turbo dyno queen, the point is to make a turbo queen with enough horsepower that could last for say 50,000 miles at least. Make a 300whp turbo kit tested for 50,000 miles and then we can talk about it.

 

Yea definitely, but funny *** video!

 

It's about time I got me a hijack. It makes me feel like I'm actually contributing...thank you all for your appreciation...

My suit soo tight!! Don't you see how tight my outfit is!!

 

/\

your supposed to get rid of the jumpsuit once you break out of prison!

 

Thank you ... Dude i second that . How long did that 410WHP lasted 3 days or is it still running?

 

50k??? Come on, I want something I can drive for 100k after I spend 5-10 grand for the system. I want RX-7 speed, with RX-8 reliability...(If there is such a thing).

 

The most current dyno is 326WHP at 9psi.

This was done on a Dyno Dynamics dyno which tends to read lower then a Dynojet.We are not switching set-ups every six months.We are only changing turbocharger configurations as well as upgrading the intercooler to match the higher output turbo.Everything else remains the same.The turbo system has been available for quite some time now.

 

I dont know if i consider 400WHP a dyno queen. 1000hp yes but 400... no. That is an controllable amount and could be daily driven without too much trouble. It may have more lag then a greddy kit but that not hard to do considering the greddy kit has nearly no lag. And ask for reliability, no one knows how reliable it is on the higher horsepower because no one has tested these higher horsepower setups that long yet. It seems to be pretty stout so far. Infact we dont know for sure if the renesis in N/A will last to a guarenteed 100k trouble free miles. Why would you think you will get that much from a high horsepower kit? Even 300whp is over 33%+ more power too the wheels then in N/A form, which is significantly more wear and tear then stock power. No one is going to come out with a kit that makes 400hp and promises 100k miles of no trouble what so ever. So quit whining about it. If you want 200k mile reliability then go buy a honda. High horsepower kits are for the people who want that much power and the fun that goes with it and if you get a few less miles and worse gas mileage, then thats the price you pay for the fun. You knowingly except that fact when you buy the kit so if you dont like it then dont buy it.

 

Amen!

We are not making any claims except that right now you can buy a 326WHP turbo kit for your RX-8.That is the only claim we are making.Now we do believe we have the combination to make 400WHP at a modest boost level(11 psi or less) on these cars and I just wanted to let people know about some things we are working on.Thats it.No hype or BS.It is just like someone posting that Petitt is releasing a supercharger kit.People want to know this stuff.Ofcourse we could keep everything a secret.As a matter of fact I guess I will from now on.

I just find it f***ing amazing how certain threads have more then 100,000 views for a span of 2-3 years and the companies still get congratulated,patted on the back, heralded as heros and still not even have a product available. Yet the whole time we have been on these boards we have been bashed, scrutinized and insulted! And we do have a product available that has been tested and does work.

 

Can't argue with that post

 

i agree because, for fact i kno its not easy to tune rx8's
and if thier building a turbo kit thats going to reach
400whp; there has to be reliability and credibility.

but still i guess sfr guys are still in the process of experimenting.
so i hope eveything works out fine.

 

I agree ..Preach it brother..preach it.

Do you have an engine management solution (EC)U) yet for your current kit?

 

I wasnt implying that you were insulting in anyway.Sorry if it came off that way.What I was trying to get across is that for the most part, some people have taken it upon themselves to make all sorts of derogatory statements over the last couple of years.

 

If I am correct Tim has been running cars over 2 years on his kit now. It hasn't been for sale that long but they have been running around with them. For all the haters, go to his shop and see his work. He is a very upfront guy who has always done work on the drop of a dime for me, albeit not the craziest of projects. He has helped me out a few times with my wife's turbo MX-5 and his product speakes volumes. I am going to use his kit as soon as I can save up the $$ (1/2 way there) and am exstatic at the idea of a gt35r on there. I want a gt28r for my wife's car too and I will likely use his shop to make a manifold/dp setup for the MX-5 too. You all should be more supportive that people/shops are willing to spend so much r and d time on our cars not whine and snivel. Just my $.02

How many of you people who are complaining about not having the perfect turbo kit have tried to make one for yourself. Its no easy feat. Im sick and tired of hearing people bash tim, PTP, RP and hymee about this that and the other. They have gone out on a limb and are trying to make products to satisfy the demand for more power. None of them have had all day every day to work on these kits. They work on it when they can. Not to mention it costs money to make a kit. To get a quality product its gonna take time and money. So until you make a kit of your own that makes 300whp and does 100k miles without trouble then shut up. No one wants to hear you bitch and moan. If you have a problem with the product selection then make one of your own and market it.

 

The point im trying to make is that bitching and moaning does nothing to solve the problem at hand. People want more power and they have to go to the experts. Like they have to go to the experts to get out their tumors. So if you have a problem with the available products then become an expert and do it yourself.

 

thats because its hard maintian turbos on rx8
as to other cars such as, sti, evo and etc etc..

 

You have got to be kidding. To make it in this world, you have to stick your head out and try someting different. SFR has allready done this and is making greater gains with their kit that the Greedy has. I say 3 Chears for Them and may you make the 400 you are looking for.
Competition improves the breed.

 

In general the guys at SFR have been pretty cool, and their posts are insightful, and have never been derogatory. The guys at SSR, that's a different story. I'm glad they are doing what they are doing. In the market you have a low end (Greddy) & a high end (SFR, PTP, etc.). Don't think these two will overlap too much. If they had a viable working unit a year ago (and it wasn't $7500 w the FMU) I definitely would have considered it.

 

What some of these guys on this site complain about is the price of your kit. Personally, I don't see a problem, if you can't afford it then shut up, sell your car. I have never seen anyone complain on this site that there was anything wrong with your kit. I have seen however that there has been plenty of complaints about the greddy. So where are all of you coming from? Are you guys just cheap? Inflation ladies and gentlemen!

 

Yes we do.We have had it for awhile.It is very similiar to Interceptor -X in the way it works.It is as expensive too.So we priced the kit as a tuner kit and you get everything you need to bolt on a turbo.You just need to handle your own tuning,fuel,etc..........Then we have a complete kit that comes with the ECU,fuel enrichment,boost control,etc...........
