Well firstly I need one of two things...

An auto RX-8 locally who wants to be the first,

Or relocate to the US where I'm sure I'll get plenty of offers.

Cheers,
Hymee.

Throttle Body Adaptor (Billet CNC Aluminum) *
Discharge adaptor (Billet CNC Aluminum) *
Intake manifold adaptor (Billet CNC Aluminum) *
Bypass valve & acutator (Billet CNC Aluminum)
Upgraded Injectors
Blower drive system: Pulleys, idler, belt, tenstioner *
Intake ducting *
Water-Air intercooler and frount mount radiator *
Electric thermo fan
Electric water pump
CNC billet water filler
Vacuum hoses
Water hoses

So about $1,500. Sounds good to me!

Hymee, are you saying that nobody wants to be the test car for your AT supercharger project in your neck of the woods? That certainly wouldn't be the case over here.

That doesnt really seem to add up even if its in USD cause i think the motec alone will cost at least US$2500

I'm standing in line for the SC too. I have a feeling we probably won't see this until the end of the year, if not later. It's already going to be March before you know it.

Auto's are reasonable rare in this part of the world. We do however have a 4-port engine we could set up on the engine dyno.

Cheers,
Hymee.

We are going to do some work on the engine dyno soon with the 6-port engine. Perhaps some tests on the 4-port could follow, since we don't have a car to test on.

Wonder what it'll do to my current 11mpg?
Maybe it'll get better!

I want to go the FI route, and I'd do it with this kit if it were available.

I really hope you find a test car!

Oh yeah, and if you were serious about relocating to the US I would definitely be up for supplying a test car.
