I think it is because people are scared because we dont have a name like Greddy and because of the price.The kit is worth every penny. We are making a solid 280+ at the wheels with room for improvement.

There is a local guy that has seen the kit and bought it.We will be installing his kit very soon.We did have a customer back out of a kit because he is being shipped to Korea for a year and is selling his car so now we have a system on the shelf.Normally there is a six week wait time for one of our kits.So if anybody is interested, give us a call.

I'll buy it from you when its done. It would be awesome for my rx8 to have more torque than my tercel.

Have you finalized price and shipping?

IMO I think people are not buying due to the price, not the company's name. It's a lot of $ to fork over and then possibly blow your seals some time in the future. If I spend that much it will be with a Mazdaspeed FI (if it ever comes out) and still keep my warranty.

I think people are not buying because as far as we know it hasnt been finished yet, and of course there are still no dyno sheets posted as promised either . . .

Here's the dynochart. And like everyone else I am wondering why you guys didn't dyno it up to 9k rpm.. or was this answered already?

on that run we were dyno'ing on the stock fuel system, at that RPM we ran out of fuel so we had to cut it short.

It's been long finished, our customer has been driving it around for the past few months. Not to mention he moved to utah from santa barbara and had no problems the whole way there.

It's over two years now. How many people do we have out there using this setup? I haven't seen much mention of it on the forum anymore.

there could be alot, its just that none of them are rx8club.com people.

I personally interested in anything (Greddy,Mazsport, SFR, Blitz)but I wanna see more input before I put my bet in.

Hmm, one thing about your website tho,

Rotaries and turbos,You've got to love it.The latest version of Mazdas Renesis 13b supercoupe is the most refined vehicle yet.It has a race car inspired look, great handling and it revs to 10,0000 rpms!
I didnt know that my car can rev up to 100K rpm without killing myself. :P

Now you can have the performance you always wanted out of your RX-8.Turn that anemic performing Renesis motor into a fire-breathing turbocharged 326WHP Rotary that screams to 10,000 rpms with 9 psi of inter cooled boost.
I thought the stock system gave up at 8K RPM ? where did the 325 whp @ 10K rpm @ 9psi came from ?? -_-

The car stops making alot of power at 8000 rpms or so but you can still rev it to 10k and it still makes lot more power then stockat 10k rpms.This is a really old post and as you can see,we have eclipsed the 300WHP mark and even the 325WHP mark

I believe that there was someone else who had it installed. He was in Maryland, but I havent'heard anything from him. He said that he would post results, but never did. Maybe he's just out enjoying the drive and could never make it back to his computer.

The last guy that posted here about his kit(and he is from San Diego) was flamed so bad he said he wasnt going to come on the boards anymore.

What would be the price for certain parts only?

1. header (exhaust manifold)
2. downpipe
3. turbo
4. IC (including piping)

Do you have to make any modifications to existing car setup to install these 4 parts? (like remove battery, remove water tanks, EGR, etc etc?)
