Anyone have updates? It looks like Speed Force Racing has adjusted their prices and options once again...

RX8-Turbo system - $6250
Ball-bearing turbo option - $600
304SS Cat deletion pipe - $399

TSI engine management system option - $1495
Ball-bearing turbo option - $600
304SS Cat deletion pipe - $399

That brings the total cost from $8744 down to $8489, $7879. Mind you thats without tax and assuming installation will be $1000. That brings it back up to $9529 if you take advantage of the intro price....

Still kind of high for my blood thats for sure...

Not really. That's the magic of a turbo kit. It has everything you need, and you don't have to buy extra stuff if you don't. I'm also going the custom method because it happens to be a side project of mine.

ok ok good point. Im just speaking from prior experience(00' prelude). I bought all the parts separate and had my dad fab a manifold(kinda crude). But it was more like 1500 for everything rather than 3500. But I see yur point. Im kinda torn between nitrous and the turbo/ s/c route anyways.

8in Vegas,

the smoke is a wire or wire rap that got to close to the exhaust area.

Has it been two weeks? Apparently you can call them and have it delivered, I guess.

Well I talked to one of the guys at Speed Force Racing shop today and he claims that they are all finished up with the turbo kit and they are using the Ric Shaw ECU, and that they scheduled dyno testing for next week. When I asked about possible expectations of Hp gains he said they are shooting for at least a 40% increase over their "stock figure of 177whp", and that they are keeping the boost between 4 and 6 psi. He also said the car is running good and they should be ready to release the kit to the public after the dyno testing and final tuning are completed. The guy that I spoke with (Ed) said that they will post everything on their website when they are done (pictures, dyno video, driving video, etc..)

I hope this thing can put some real numbers down, say like at least 270whp..

So I guess back to the waiting game. As if we haven't been waiting long enough.

PS- Here is the number I called if anyone wants to check this out. 619-328-4012
