Series II Turbo Kit Question
After searching around about the series 2 turbo kits I have only ever heard of the esmeril and turblown kits. Are there any other kits except these ones for the series 2?

Turblown is the only company I have heard of producing a kit for the S2. Did you see their recent thread?

It will also fit S2 Rx-8s, in which an adaptronic ECU is a must. We are currently building a kit for an S2 car also.

Boostin'
Our turbo system makes more power than any of our competitors at considerable less boost. Rotaries don't make a lot of torque unless the boost is turned way up, and even then its far less than their piston counterparts.

Turblown as far as tuning I think I read you guys have a tuning option for the series 2 that is a standalone system. Are we still required to bring our cars into your shop to make this work because last that I saw was that you said in another post that it wasn't plus and play yet and we were required to bring our car in. Also is the garret hybrid still the standard Turbo on your kits?

Its just a Rx-8 Select that is NOT plug and play, and requires wiring in series with the stock wiring harness. We will sell the ECU outright now, with or without a purchase of our turbo system.
It is $1200 + freight.
Yes the Garrett hybrid is the standard for our top mount kit, we use a CompTurbo for our low mount kits;

im not really good with cars so I was just wondering why does the turblown kit requires premixing and the esmeril kit doesnt? I read on the turblown website its because of fitment constraint but I still dont really understand. Also as the esmeril kit states it can achieve 414 hp out of the box with ignition and clutch upgrades can the turblown kit achive 400 hp out of the box also?

I have some questions on the turblown kit? So tier 1 top mount cost 6800? So what is tier 2 than? It also says you have to cut the sheet metal to make the kit fit, but on another page I found that you said you don't have to cut the sheet metal. So do you have to cut it For figment? Also what is included in the top mount turbo kit?

rev it up
We have a turbo series 2 turbo running built by Mazfix in Brisbane. It has been running for over a year now. They have not revealed the ecu that is being used.
As the car is a R3 model they had certain teething issues however the standard model is apparently easier to install and tune.

Somewhat on topic, but has anyone had any success running the Adaptronics piggyback offered by Turblown?

I am rezzing this thread instead of creating a new one. As far as I remember that is less frowned upon in these forums :/
Might be picking up a 2nd gen, wondering if the turbo options have changed? Very sparse amounts of information in this section, only one I have seen that is up to date is the Puerto Rican build with a Greddy and some custom work done.

Sounds like it's pretty much go custom or go home then. Damn. Was hoping after a 7 year hiatus from rotaries they would have cracked the renny a little better. How is the series 1 fairing?

I am on 20,000 miles boosted on a Pineapple built engine on my 04'. I think a turbo S2 would fare well (so long as the tuner is capable) with the engine improvements. You could use a S1 greddy kit pretty easily, the only real modification needed is to the oil pan.

It does and it is a two piece setup that extends out on the exhaust side. It is not the easiest modification but The guy with R3 turbo did it and It was not the cleanest work but did the job.
