How come the Aussies and the Kiwi's get all the cool toys!!! Awesome work Hymee. I'm wondering if all of the supercharger parts will clear in the engine bay of a left hand drive car though?

Ok slowly for our east pacific cousins...

"Cred"....credibility

Panmure...place where large pacific island brothers hang out...."bro's" who like hot cars...particularly of the Nissan GT and Rx variety. (What your hawaiian's turned into with an all white meat diet :eek:")

Hymee's little concoction could be worns as bling by some of those big boy's and personally I reckon looks good enough too.

"once were warriors"...famous movie about south auckland. (temuera morrison - star wars dude...)

And the "too many sleeps" refers to the Nat's in Aus which I'm off too in about 5 days!.....where we hope His Hymeeness will have the bling back under the bonnet for all to aclaim.

Looks Awsome Hymee!

Bloody awsome indeed!

ILIV48 10-14-2005 07:14 AM

A thing of beauty my friend... A true thing of beauty indeed ;)

Although you are spending my money way faster than I can earn it.

Lets look at the quote:

Twin Screw Supercharger
Motec engine management
Extractors
Highflow Cat

Total cost: :eek: :eek: :eek:

I am afraid it is bread and water for me from now on! :o

Tudor 10-14-2005 07:20 AM

Hi Hymee,
Great job!
Would you please tell me dimensions of the package? From front pulley to flywheel, side to side, bottom to very top?

Thank You
Ted

The stainless steel high-flow cat with stainless steel catalyst is "50 State Legal" CARB and EPA approved ;)

Wow Hymee, everything looks great! I'm glad to see all the progress you've made. Keep up the good work, this kit is going to be a huge success! :)

Red Devil 10-14-2005 09:00 AM

I keep getting more and more excited!!!

Nemesis8 10-14-2005 09:16 AM

I just wet myself

brillo 10-14-2005 09:21 AM

my god man, that is AWESOME.

How much lighter is the midpipe than stock? Does the center pipe in the header keep the air split? Hows the sound on the midpipe?

MadDog 10-14-2005 10:41 AM

Hymee, did you find that you really needed to upgrade the exhaust with the S/C, or is that just a little decoration on the cake? Any proven gains with the exhaust upgrades when super charging?

spoolage 10-14-2005 11:21 AM

When does this setup go up for sale? How much?

QBallz 10-14-2005 11:40 AM

I get giddy everytime I hear CARB. There is virtually nothing that is CARB approved for the RX8. Please Please Please persue the sticker for your Supercharger kit. I'm trying to keep the car 100% legal in California.

BTW it looks sexay :D

Absolument fantastique, Monsieur Hymee!

Hymeeeeee!!! u da man!

So... seeing any improvements with your header design? (looks beautiful by the way)

How does flow on your cat compare to the competition... RotaryPerformance, SR motorsports and Canzoomer? Yours has a silencer on it as well, right? And this bad boy is CARB and EPA cleared for the 04-05 RX-8? Hot damn...

Good work!


Oh... looking at those S/C pics... how does the intake setup work on it?

jax8 10-15-2005 07:05 PM

some of us will get to see (maybe drive/be driven) in four sleeps, en route to the nats.

rotarygod 10-15-2005 11:43 PM

I would seriously doubt he would get carb approval seeing as how he doesn't live in the U.S. Carb approval is too expensive and a pain in the butt anyways.

salituro64 10-16-2005 08:23 AM

I have been reading various threads that always mention CARB. What exactly is that? I know it has to do with Califronia, but what the heck does it do for the exhaust?

lurch519 10-16-2005 08:54 AM

California Air Resources Board. they regulate anything having to do with vehicle emissions, and you need either an approval or exemption on the product to be able to use it on your vehicle and keep it legal in california.

Cheers,
Hymee.

I noticed the internal surface is a bit rough..
Would some extruded honing help with flow?? or would it be considered anal..?

Btw, Hymee, are you thinking of selling a complete package?? ie SC, right back to the exhaust tips? inc grill kit etc etc?
