On another note, here a daytime pic of the MS front bumper. YOu can see the intercooler a bit easier now.

p.s. I know.. I need to adjust the angle on the foglights.. they are pointing too far down.

Oh, sure. We show some compassion for your situation and you flaunt your new FI setup and bodywork. THE NERVE!!!!

Btw, why does most people think that our tranny / drive chain can't handle a "lot" of hps?
If I remember correctly the rx8 was rumored to have around 250hps when it first came out, and one would assume that mazda does like everybody else and work with at least 20% margin of error. That leaves us with roughly 320hps crank which the tranny / drive chain can safely handle. Who knows, maybe they built it bulletproof and we can crank it up like a supera

On another note.......
I talked to Greddy USA's customer service today. They are going to email me the stock emanage map that comes with the RX-8 kit tomorrow. It will not be password protected. I'll post it here on the forum for anyone that wants it. More information on that tomorrow.

Yes it's the e-manage piggy back system. It comes with a custom wiring harness so there is no wire splicing. Next time I suggest using the "search this thread" button. Pretty much every question concerning the Greddy kit has been answered already

but someone mentioned the JIC drift rx8 having a stock 6 speed rx8 gearbox bolted to a 3rd gen 13b with a massive turbo. considering the power that thing must make and the abuse its put through while drifting only says one thing...rx8 transmissions are not as weak as we may think. i know what you're thinking, they gutted the tranny and replaced it with stronger internals, but JIC isn't that large of a company, and i've seen nowhere that they've done such a thing using custom parts, much less OTC parts.
either way, a driver with a handful of brain cells and only 7psi can easily spare the tranny.

I'm getting my Greddy turbo kit installed starting Monday morning. I got the Greddy Type S blow off valve, 2 Greddy 52 mm (Boost & EGT) gauges, Carbo Fiber pillar gauge pod sent out. I have the turbo kit sitting in my living room & the BOV is supposed to be here tomorrow. I actually have a Greddy Profec-A unit that my friend gave me, and I will talk to my mechanic to see what he can do. I have the SR Motorsports hi-flow cat & resonator unit on my car too. I will be dynoing it over at Los Angeles Performance Division after I have the kit installed. I'll take some pictures & let everybody know what happens. Am I the only one on the west coast that has the kit ? It seems like all the info. is coming from the east coast. I will try to have the car done by the 5th. It looks like the RX club might be having a San Fernando Valley event near me, and hopefully I will have the kit installed by then. Also getting some 19" rims put on.
