Turblown complete top mount Turbo kit
Category: Engine - Power Adders
Price: $2500
Private or Vendor Listing: Private Listing
Part Fits (you may select multiples): Series I
Location (US State/Canada/Int): CA
Item Condition: Used
The Turbo was custom fitted on a Series 1 manual but fit my automatic just fine. It has a few thousand miles on it but has shaft play. I did not measure it but the car was boosting fine @ 10 lbs before removal. My friend who inspected the turbo said it would need to be rebuilt. Eliot at Turblown.net said a full rebuild with bearings would cost $400 and include a warranty and be basically brand new.
Chris @ Turblown custom fits them to the vehicle before shipping. The attached thumb is my actual turbo fitted on a Series 1 manual. This turbo is legit, unlike the defunct Greddy fiasco, this unit is still in production and a bit more expensive. Turblown Top Mount Rx-8 Turbo System - Turblown Engineering.
It should be everything you need for 425rwp minus black halo coils, fuel pump possibly, colder plugs and upgraded radiator. Click the link for more info. I had my COB AP tuned at MM in Arizona. Vehicle shipping was ~$350. Turbo kit = $6500 + $4000 accessories = $10,000 Total value. $2500 should be fair considering the turbo needs $400 in repair work and the AP is cracked

10) A protective 3M Gentex wiring harness thermal sleeve.
11) A custom aluminum thermostat upper and lower hard line assembly is included
12) An ambient air intake system featuring a recirculated blow off valve

Are you sure this mounts up on a manual RX8? I recall that you had an auto RX8 and had some transmission/hesitation issues. Also, if the turbo needs repair work it'd be best to specifically state what turbo model it is etc. some more kit details too; don't see an intercooler/piping or any mention of one etc.

The price for the entire kit is in the heading. The prices I listed in the thread are the MSRP that I paid. I'd rather sell as a complete kit. And the RP pipe is required as a cat would overheat or put too much back pressure on the engine I'd imagine. I never had a problem with it. It's metal, it bolts on to things. It does its job.

Posting a link is not the same as actually stating what's included. Even "I may be missing something" is not clear to what exactly you mean or are referring too. Not trying to be difficult, there are some vague points that need clarifying to actually determine the value to cost ratio (regardless of what some drunk guy said without asking any questions ... )

Still a great starting point if you accept it's not plug and play and do some work

Oh and local sale only. They can come check everything out themselves.
