"The tuning for the RX8 is pretty much done and we have the first set of turbo kits on their way next month. We took the car to a dyno jet for TURBO mag and a stock car usually makes about 169whp; your car made 235whp." - GReddy

Greedy kit available
Guys,
It seems that Greddy is releasing a limited number of the USA spec turbo kits in the next few days, and RN.COM has a special Greddy dealer connection for the kit. If your are serious and interested in buying the kit, please let us know and we'll do our best to get you hooked-up. We might also be installing the kit on the RN.COM RX-8 for testing some time down the line, but for now if you want to get a kit, from a reputable Rotary tuner, drop me a line at:
berny@rotarynews.com
Notes on the final USA kit.
Final #'s look like +50hp @ 5-6psi (can be tuned to make even more power)
Kit Includes:
-T618Z 10cm 2 P380 Turbine
-Custom exhaust manifold and muffler adaptor
-Intercooler and intercooler piping
-E-Manage piggyback fuel controller
-Airinx intake filter
-Clamps, hoses, hardware and everything else necessary for installation
This kit WILL VOID your OEM warranty and is NOT CARB legal. It will be sold as an off-road/racing product only.
Price: shoot me an e-mail
If you are ready to buy and have money burning a hole in your pocket, let me know.
Cheers,
-Bern

What additional costs are associated with a turbo kit? Is it a DIY project, or one that needs a shop to instal. If a shop needs to do it, how many hours does it take to install?

Some members have stated a 25-35 HP increase with the CZ unit at a total cost of the unit plus cost of canscan and tuning .
Why would you pay US $4000 for the possible extra 15-25 HP for a turbo unit with only 6psi , .
As Jeff (Mazda maniac )has shown that you would need to upgrade the fuel injectors to handle any higher boost .

Lock, I don't think the 35 hp number is to the wheels. I'd guess most will see around 20-30 hp at the crank.
The number listed by Greddy shows a 66 hp boost to the wheels, which is quite significant.

Getting extra power will still need the added fuel injectors .

And yes I'm sure that elevated boost levels will require greater fueling capacity.

I am pretty much sold on getting a turbo/supercharger kit for my RX-8. However, I have 2 questions in regard to this:
1. How can I find out who/where to go to install? For something of this nature, I would want someone experienced and knowledgable so I don't blow my engine. I'm in the NorCal/Stockton/Sacramento area.
2. This and the SSR kit are not CARB legal. For those of us who will eventually need to pass smog, how do we go about circumventing this process by getting our cars exempted?
If I can figure out these 2 things (and which kit...) I'm on my way to the bank!
