In and around Minneapolis, MN. About a month from now but if it is later we'll manage.

4sp or 6sp...we haven't decided but probably we'll get setup for both.

Please contact me by PM and I'll have you chat with one of our engineers.

I won't respond to any questions regarding what we have in mind...if we work something out you will hear about it, trust me.

Best Regards,

Too bad I live in Az and have a turbo..

Good luck on the proto.

 

Yeah, its kinda been done already.
Repeatedly.
On at least 3 continents.

 

We know M&M...but competition is healthy. Plus you are constantly innovating with your setup...we would like to do the same for the AT crowd.

 

If I had a beater car and lived near you I'd drop mine off in a heart beat I still have about 18k left on my drive train warrenty so... lol.

Competition is healthy and a obviously a good thing. Hell if not for it Mazsport would of said "oh well Greddy came out with a Turbo first guess we'll not do ours.". I'm just mad cause I dont have the loot atm to splurge for anything atm. But soon though oh so soon hehe.

 

I would totally do this, but I don't have an RX-8, I live on the east coast, and tend to make inflammatory remarks when I sleep.

But honestly, if I knew I had a shop that would take care of my car I would void my warranty in a minute to get a turbo.

 

Well you could purchase as used one in the area and have it dropped off at our location...then when it is done fly in and drive it back . Although that is probably not going to be an easy thing to do.

 

PM'd you. Thanks.

 

Too bad you're so far. =/

Let us know how it works out. I've been researching turbos for A/T and very interested in learning about it from different perspectives. Best of luck.

 

hey, i think i just found the link for your prototype...

^is that it?

just one question though - nothing technical about the turbo...just wanna know will this be on showcase at sevenstock? - figure i'll just ask questions there if you are...hehe...

 

Yes that is the MT version but the future AT version will look the same with some mostly hidden modifications.

As for Sevenstock I am planning on going. I will most likely bring the head Engineer along but he may be in Puerto Rico visiting family...we are working it out.

We may...

1. Show up with one of our own cars complete.

2. Have a California customer show up with a complete kit.

3. Show up early with a kit for a customer and install the kit for them.

If we can get an AT prototype and finish it we can install the future AT or the MT kit at Sevenstock...but right now it would just be MT.

We will keep you guys updated.

 

good deal...

i'll be there with my camera, note pad and printed out dyno chart from the other thread
