I'm not sure, but their phone number and email are located on their contacts page. They are on mountain time US so that gives a basic region.

Still a good find. I'll still wait for a supercharger.

 

it's worth mentioning that this kit is still in the prototype stage. so far we haven't seen any numbers, prices, etc

 

I received a reply from them today.

Will be available within the month and price is around US$6900.

 

this is old news... SSR regularly post in this forum.

 

thanks for that Alex, have you got news for us then mate. Cause obviously if this is old news, then you have something more for us then...... no I didn't think so.

I had not found anything like this before and judging by the couple of responses I have already, I think more than a few people feel the same way.

 

Thanks for the help with finding parts for the 8.

 

oops didn't realize earlier when i looked at this thread that it was about ssr's turbo.

have a look here

 

Zoom 44 swoops in for the kill... Nice pics though. I am probably going to be looking at SSR next year if MazdaSpeed hasn't done anything yet.

 

But the problem with the rotary isn't a lack of top end power or the ability to gain yet more power on the top end, but rather no low end power and difficulty gaining much via N/A only. What we need to be aiming at is beefing up the low to mid-RPM range... which means no centrifugal supercharger.

 

Thanks Zoom, I did not realise it had been discussed before. I only posted it because I know how long I have been looking for mod work that is really going to fix the straight line speed issue.

Even though I have been reading these forums for quite a while, this must have gotten under my radar.

Regardless, I hope that some people in the same boat as me who missed the other thread benefitted from this one.

Sorry for the repost of old data, but you have to admit the pics look good and they are new.

 

There won't be a MazdaSpeed FI RX-8 until probably 2006 ... so if you're waiting for that, you'll be waiting awhile.

Turbo's have way more potential, Superchargers are easier to tune. Personally, I'm all about turbo's. Nothing better than being able to pick and choose every little piece of a turbo to fit your application.

Sunflower Mazda will have their Supercharger kit ready for sale very soon.

 

Well, it seems to me that we have a number of things to consider. First, I keep hearing people say that our rotaries have no low-end torque. It doesn't seem to me that 160+/- lbs.ft. of torque is all that bad for a 1.3L engine. Second, accepting the premise that we DO lack adequate torque, isn't a 4.44:1 axle ratio enough to make up the difference and focus on the rotary's strengths such as rpm capability? I know that I have no problem breaking the tires loose at will in first, second, or third gear! I know that when our supercharger project is done I will then need to seek better ways to gain traction. Or, we could delay the onset of more torque and maybe get some traction early in the rpm range. Pro racers do that with multi-stage boost and nitrous settings. What's the difference in practical applications. Besides, as I have stated before, the system SSR and I are developing will allow the end-user to decide when, where, and how much boost they desire and adjust the system accordingly. Other systems do not allow such flexibility.

Just my thoughts...

oh i wasn't slamming your posting. just linking people to the other thread for more info.

 

I also was not slamming your post, but thanks for the snappy reply, it was humorous reading.

cheers

 

oh, and BTW: Knightsports is coming out with a supercharger for the 8. Great pix of it too...

...but I'll let you guys figure out how to do a SEARCH for it on this forum.

 

Damn..they are located here in Albuquerque!!! I'm going to give them a call and see what they are all about! I'll keep you posted

 

Heard a rumor offline today (while ordering some goodies) that PFS is working on their supercharger and it is beyond just the drawing board stage -- heard they have been doing a little collaboration with a few other well known vendors/developers mentioned on this forum -- hmmm

 

Just a quick update for you....Looks like the Procharger will not be in place for the Kansas City International Auto Show March 4-7 as was planned. But the the car will be there and it looks totally awesome!!!! The rear spoiler and exhaust have been added and they make a big difference. I will try to post some pictures for you soon.

The dealer still plans to have the Procharger operational by the time it goes to the Revolution. The tuners that are working on this project are exploring the possibility of using Canzoomers ECU.

The dealer indicated that any warranty work will be through them and the car will need to be serviced by them after this upgrade has been completed.

Hope to see some of you at the KCIAS next week!!

 

i am speechless when i look at the Blitz S/C

 

Why would that be?

C

 

because its badass!

 

well said lol. the intake is huge and the kit looks clean. just a great machine and can't wait to see it on the market.

 

I guess whatever gets the job done and looks good doing it is worth the expense. I tend to lean toward superchargers(for reasons posted previously) and think the Procharger also looks well-engineered and designed so I can understand your view. In the end, the engine has no idea how a part looks or what brand/type it is. The only issue is how much boost you are getting and if it suits your preferences. As far as one version being objectively better than another, I doubt there is and "real world" difference one from another. Kinda like nitrous kits. The engine has no idea what brand is being used, as long as it is properly designed and installed they should all yield similar results.
