Like the title says. I'm looking for a turbo;d 8 in Ventura County or the Temecula/Corona area. I would like to see how it feels to see if I can make a desition.

Thanks

I'm in Glendale, but go to the valley occasionally. Can't wait for another canyon run again Keith.

hondasr4kids

Glendale is good, is not that far from me. I could take a trip to Burbank while at it.

poorman

I want to tag along if possible. I would like to feel the power of a turboed 8.

Let me know if you guys ever set up a meeting ill drive out there if im free.

Fanman

No problem. Happy to let everybody get a test drive. My car is over at SP Engineering right now getting some enhancements put in. I'll shoot you guys a PM when I get the car back & we can set something up.

Detrich

i'd like to come too, if that's ok. r u seriously going to mod your 8 rick? burbank/ glendale is not too far for me either.

Fanman

Sure. Well the car does fit 4 people so I guess we are all good. I'll let you guys know when I get my car back. It has the turbo, hi flow cat, cat back exhaust & lightened flywheel (go fast parts) so it might be a little different experience from just a turboed car (FYI).

hondasr4kids

damn we should just meet at the Malibu canyon area then. Fanman you need to put a coin slot in the car and charge people to take a ride.

hondasr4kids

Not sure if I want to Mod it but I'm looking at my options. One of them is putting a turbo on the 8, getting an Evo and sell the 8 or keep the 8 and get a crotch rocket since I'm planning to commute from here to Temecula on the weekends.

I want to tag along! I'll fit in the trunk.

Sp-Engineering you must have deep pockets...their so expensive.

hondasr4kids

My wife is all exited about going to see your car, Ikea is near there.

fanmans car is fun to drive, with all his gauges you would think you are in a airplane...dam i wonder how your BOV sounds now with the hks SSQ...jealous*

kwescott

More like a ATM slot....cause coinage aint going to be enough. .

Fanman came out to one of the Malibu meets I was at. I recalled the turbo smoked a bit when we made those rest/photo stops. Fanman, do you recall that? Was that normal, or were there things that needed to be fixed with your setup at that time? This was a while back though..

XDEEDUBBX

Keith, when you and fanman went at it at the canyons, who came out on top? haha

kwescott

I actually finished ahead of him, but only because we lined up that way

hondasr4kids

I was considering (if I turbo the 8) the SFR turbo kit or the Greddy but I like this though

kwescott

why not just do the Interceptor X? This would be cheaper, and still get you into the higher hp numbers.

hondasr4kids

because they got 348 out of s upgraded greddy kit, I would like to see what kind of # they will get out of their own kit.

Fanman

Yeah, we found out it was it was a leaking oil line. The Greddy lines are different sized from the stock car lines, so it caused a fitment issue. It was squirting oil out of the bottom onto some hot parts, causing the heat issue.

I think what you are looking at will look something like this :

1. Greddy Turbo Kit = $3000 = 250 whp
2. Upgraded Greddy Kit (with upgraded EMS unit) = $4500 = 300 whp (less on Cali. gas)
3. Mazsport Kit = $5000 to $6500 = 320 (in Cali. with lesser gas) to 350 whp
4. PTP Turbo Kit = $7500 = 350+ whp

Pay to play. Have to determine your own pocketbook size.

hondasr4kids

If I go F/I I think I will go with door #3.

yiksing

Keep the 8, get a evo or sti

hondasr4kids

can't do that. only enough room for 2 cars.

XDEEDUBBX
