Its interesting to me, coming here for the first time, how insulated the markets can get.
Some of the discussion in this thread is straight out of RX-8Club, circa 2005!

You can read about my GReddy upgrade on my site (link is in my SIG - click on Satan's Hairdryer)

As far as output from the various offerings (build quality aside), you can use these graphics for comparison:



Curious as to what your $6200 kit includes. I briefly looked at the website and saw just a garret upgrade kit and the accessport listed. What does the kit you have listed for the dyno stuff at 6200 include.

Also what exactly is the biggest holdback on the engine. I guess I'm more use to the 7's where its almost the sky's the limit (within reason) with turbo size, boost, etc. What exactly is holding the 8 back, is it the exhaust ports, or what. On the 7 its common to see 850cc primarys and 1600cc secondaries yet on the 8 it seems to be 5-600cc injectors. Are we speaking in general terms as a "easy" bolt on without major modifications and thats why leaving the option of new fuel system etc opening alot more doors or is it just the engine itself.

Thanks for chimming in on these posts too, its nice to get some good info for those that are interested.
