Not the best way to say "hi." Do you talk to your Mom like that? Show a little courtesy please.

I predict that either RP (AFE) will be picked up by a larger firm to continue work for other platforms, or AFE will need to add a few thousand ft^2 of production and a few hundred employees.

I think RP has made himself a millionare with this product, its just gonna take time to recieve all that money.
And I hope you dont sell out RP!

I did not look on this thread for a while. I just browse through and look for Richard and stop there to read. But yes, I think that is a good suggestion also.

This one must have been sold at one time:

and if you buy it, it'll be sold again.

haa...I've been watching for a while...I *just* joined so I could be pinged when something was posted...I fought the urge to join for a bit...at first it was curiosity...the geek in me...wanting to know the who/what/how/why...
So basically...its because of this thread that I even joined the forum...and now I'm getting sucked in and "knowing" lots of the older posters cause I've read thru them and stuff and seem them scattered everywhere...
Mazda Maniac for example...he was cool back in the MX-3 days...he didnt have much of a life back then either...but man he was hardcore for the supercharger project...
Hes been around for a while...he's still as cocky and smug as always...but man as annoying as he is...he knows his stuff...I think he put it best one time himself on this forum somewhere...
Hes an "impatient idiot savant" or something to that extent...haa...
Long story short...I went thru 2 MX-3's...straight to the RX...and while I will miss it....cause you DO grow to love that little gnat...I'm totally at home in the RX...
So...while I may have joined just a little bit ago...judge me not lest yee be called the judge...or something...
Back to your regularly scheduled bitchfest in session...
pantsey...antsey..blah blah...out??!?! ohhhh....sooo..sad....
heh...

My guess is that when the kit is finalized he will find 3-5 beta testers to test it out. Using feedback from them he will do last minor(hopefully) adjustments before he goes into major production. This is what he did with the AxialFlow shifter and it would only make sense that he did it with the supercharger as well.
With that said part of beta testing would be testing the whole kit including whatever EMS system he will be using. If he were to beta test the supercharger on someone with an EMS solution already it would not be much of a beta test and would not help get the final product out quicker. Mechanically it should be mostly fine. Tuning on a variety of RX-8s is what probably needs the most testing.

It allow you to make custom ECU reflashes, so there would not be any problem with talking to the ECU because it would be the ECU controlling the SC.

Mmm, they say in their page Mazda forum that they're intested in working with RX-8 turbo a SC providers. Maybe they first want to have a usable generic product before starting to tune it for different providers?
