I have pictures of the Pettit Racing AT and MT Superchargers from when they atteded the Brotherhood Of the Dragon RX8 rally

 

Why not just post them then!?

 

wut kinda question is this?

 

Here is a teaser for all you skeptics out there

 

Show em if you're going to show them. A poll is stupid.

 

why not post it?

RRx8

 

Come on, i'm just having a little fun with it

here are the rest of the final Protoytpe on a MT

 

Here is the original Prototype on an AT

 

May I ask what type of numbers your putting to the ground?
Do you see a drastic decrease in fuel economy?
What did it cost you to drop that in? part + Labour?

Thanks in advance,

RRx8

 

saw it a year ago

 

this is not my vehicle, but the guys from pettit said they were dyno'ing around 260 whp off of 6-8 psi of boost

the fuel economy drop wasn't too bad, he said he was getting roughly 22mpg driving up to North Carolina from Florida

the kit will cost roughly $4,000 but the advantage as that even the earliest prototype has well over 19,000 miles of FI on it with out a problem.

it will be a bolt on DIY kit so it can be swaped out if need be, so labor is only a factor if you pay to have it put on

 

So is it going to be released in 2009 or '10?

 

Are they using the stock intake, or is that just the box??

 

they are using the stock air box as a housing. He didn't open it, so i can't tell you really what's inside, but it's no longer OEM

 

This is like asking if we want to see hot chicks naked. (For guys, and girls who dig that sorta thing.)

 

I thought I would here something a bit more impressive then 260whp you can get a greedy to do that for $3100 brand new. I know its a super charger and it has the whole cool factor but the whole point is to make power.

 

I feel ya. But I guess we have to wait for a dyno to see the differences. Supposedly, this kit offers quite a bit of low end torque.

Also, don't forget, the Greddy kit is a bit more involved as far as install is concerned AND you still have to consider additional parts (BOVs, boost controller, etc). This kit was supposedly built as an easy DIY 'er.

We'll just have to see when it comes out. I'm liking what this kit is offering. I mean the freakin prototype has got 19K on it, without a problem, already. And I'm sure those 19K miles weren't grocery getting miles.

 

2011?

 

this is old news. I spoke with Bindon from Pettit about it, and there's been changes.


(17:51:14) Bindon@Pettit Racing: its gonna be more like $3,250 now
(17:51:19) Bindon@Pettit Racing: with the INt x
(17:51:27) Bindon@Pettit Racing: pretty good power
(17:51:33) Jason@Home: uhh
(17:51:36) Jason@Home: you said 60 hp
(17:51:38) Jason@Home: and 4000
(17:51:41) Bindon@Pettit Racing: also going to throw in 3 gauges and a gauge pod
(17:51:44) Bindon@Pettit Racing: yeah, we got 250
(17:51:48) Jason@Home: now it's 400hp?
(17:51:50) Bindon@Pettit Racing: yup
(17:51:54) Bindon@Pettit Racing: 500 lb ft of torque
(17:51:56) Bindon@Pettit Racing: at 6 psi

 

Part 2:

(17:52:07) Bindon@Pettit Racing: new hood comes with it
(17:52:14) Bindon@Pettit Racing: top mount ram air intercooler
(17:52:19) Jason@Home: how come you didn't tell me to hold off on the turbo kit
(17:52:25) Bindon@Pettit Racing: also we are including a wide band o2
(17:52:32) Bindon@Pettit Racing: and also new 19" volk wheels
(17:52:36) Jason@Home: lol
(17:52:37) Jason@Home: f#$ker
(17:52:41) Bindon@Pettit Racing: HAHAHA

 

B is always getting you, lol.

 

go bindon!

 

SO WHEN THE HELL CAN JOHN Q PUBLIC BUY THE THING????? I'm tired of waiting for these toys

 

at least the final prototype looks nothing like the gigantic mess on the AT car

 

Looks like ***, but as long as its funtional.
