hmmmm.


pettite is also making a SC.
Hymee is making a SC.


The news gets better every week for AT owners :D

I wonder how much $$ we are gonna be looking at for each SC.

And I can't wait to see what the test dynos look like. :D

hopefully, they won't be too much. price on greddy turbo is kinda going down, but power from the start and bolt on reliability(hopefully) make an SC more much appealing.

I dont understand why a supercharger that will fit on a manual wont fit in an automatic as well, will it give the same performance?

It is more about sizing it right and the management than about "fit"

Cheers,
Hymee.

That is the idea. Rasputin would be the first one of them in the queue I would suggest.

Cheers,

Any thoughts on the bigger secondaries being needed? I'm thinking they will be at the same airflow as the 6 port unit. It'll take some of the "bolt-on" out of the kit, but honestly lesser increases than what the 6 port gets would be undesireable to me.

i have seen on the japan auto turbo the kits comes with larger injectors! not a terribly expensive item in my eyes so even if the nice people at hymee dont include them i will be getting some anyway if....sorry when i go for this amazing toy!

i kow time scales are never good but any idea?

oh slightly odd question who much does the 6 port kit weigh? as i guess they will be about the same? just in case i need a holiday in oz ......for a bit of shoping!

Well, I hope there is a SC soon for the AT. I want one yesterday.....lol.....ok I'll settle for soon. I love the backseat and with kids I had limited options with a sports car but where is the speed they had with the last rx7. Now that AT had speed, just no back seat. I want both, but I still love my 8. I just have a need for speed up front.

Im really excited about this, Hymee, and want to thank you for including AT owners in your TC development! I'm VERY interested in buying this if it becomes available for purchase, and if it's available in the USA. Any updates on the progress of this project?

We are doing some refinements to the 6-port at the moment. I have no dates to be able to make promises for the auto. Sorry.

Cheers,
Hymee.

By the time a supercharger actually makes it to market, I'm gonna have 100k miles on the car. I don't know if I'd want to stress the engine at that point... . Is this going to be a 2006 thing at least?
