Why not invest. So he can produce the SC in mass scale not only to the AT but to the MT as well?

I'm really committed to delivering my kit to the Auto/4-port owners as well! It is just a matter of time. One of my main barriers locally is finding one to do it on. I am even considering selling my 6-port and getting a 4 port specifically for this! Oh well - I'm leaving my day job to concentrate on this Hymee stuff, so things might go quicker from now on!

Cheers,
Hymee.

Oh nice. Well you know what that means? If you relase this kit it a timely manner, I'll buy a hymee exhaust instead of a borla to help you support your new day job

there were a couple of volunteers providing their ATs for Hymee to test...

how much $$$ would be needed to fly from down under to US to make this happen - would there be enough sponsors reading this thread ?

^___ That would very much depend on the price that the kit will be sold at. Rumors put it way too high, but those are just rumors, and I won't spread them here.

Awhile ago I talked about ways we could help Hymee get this kit out. I don't know about all of you, but I'm in the US, and I don't have a vast amount of technical knowledge. Shipping cars overseas or doing R&D over here are both expensive. It seems like there isn't really any way to help Hymee out, but there IS.

I know it may sound obvious, but buying Hymee products helps out. Money can help speed up R&D, and helps make sure Hymee isn't on the street begging for change when he could be developing the kit :D

So I'm going to buy a Hymee exhaust. If you all really want to make a difference with this kit, buy a Hymee product! Besides, the exhaust sounds great.

If you want something done...do something about it!

This will be a real godsend for the auto owners out there, and the 5-speed manual ones in other parts of the world.
can i start cheering and raising hymee flags around the house in anticipation of it?

I want this kit to come out like yesterday.!!!
Well I just finished reading 10 pages of post's about this and I am excited and discouraged. Excited because I hear SC is awsome in a Rotary and I've heard from several friends that SC is more reliable (could be wrong but again what I have heard) than turbo. Discouraged because they have yet to find a A/T test subject.

Only solution I personaly can think of is.. kidnap hymee bring 'em to CA lock 'em up in a shop with someone's Rx8 A/T from our board and let 'em out once it is done. Over the top maybe but I'd love this kit to be out sooner rather than later hehe.. Just so I can start saving $$$ for it.

Please keep us updated though.

Well, our first test subject will be a 4-port motor on the engine dyno. I guess that helps?

Just something worth mentioning, cause I haven't made much of an announcement, but all this stuff will move quicker now that I have left my full time employment to chase this dream. I have a lot of passion behind this!

Cheers,
Hymee.

I hope it all works out for you (and us)!!

I've thought up a good question. What sort of setup would be ideal for the car before installing this kit? I know you want it to be able to turn anyone's 8 into a tourque monster, but will any mods get in the way of the installation of the kit? ie: certain intakes, etc.

Only thing I would do is an exhaust system--most intakes will probably not be compatible.
