So I searched the forums and couldn't find anything about the Turblown Turbo Kit. Anyone have any info on this thing?

Turblown RX-8 Turbo Kit 04+ RX-8

 

You didn't search hard enough then.
You can read my new build thead in my sig or "Another Top mount" thead in the Major Horsepower Upgrades section.
currently 2 threads below this one.

 

Great research.

There is a member here with one of the Turblown kits right in your neighborhood.

 

Here is another one.

all the weaksauce in teh universe can't account for this epic search fail ...

 

We have also ditched the walbro 255lph in favor of the aeromotive 340LPH pump with our kit, no extra charge...

 

Why ?

 

When we were on the dyno with Jamaal's car fuel pressure would start @ 60psi, and around 5k rpms start to drop down to around 52psi. The walbro isn't enough pump for a top mount making decent power.

 

The Walbro is good out to about 400 at the crank.
The other option might be the Deatschworks pump, which is essentially the same as the Aeromotive unit.

 

/\ good to know . That's about as much as I'll ever need .

BTW changing to the Walbro from stock netted 0.2 richer AFR . Way less than I was expecting .

 

Is g/s of flow a decent in indicator of crank HP? If not then what percentage of WHP are they using to determine crank HP?

 

/\ It should be pretty close - yes . But only if MAF scaling is spot on and there aren't other issues .

 

So you are saying kind of, sort of, could be or perhaps? Got it...

 

as always, it just depends

 

You shouldn't see any change (and .2 AFR is so insignificant that a change in baro or humidity would show more effect) from the "bigger" pump unless your OE pump was failing.

 

I didnt see any change with the Walbro. I just didnt have to worry about whether or not my pump was failing while I was pushing 14psi

 

Pretty sure it was the pump - before and after tests were very consistent .
I read somewhere where you had seen a whole point AFR change going from a bad pump to the Walbro .

Hi...
im the guy in your backyard. PM me and we can get together before i have to go back to Afghanistan.

 

Hmm went to there web site and says out of stock and price is 0.00 so does that mean they no longer produce them or what?

 

We are still producing the kit. In the middle of another one for a forum member currently. I have preferred people to email/call us for the price. Our kits are only slightly more than everyone else, but there is a big difference in what you get. Just shoot me a PM here...
