[Gambino]

bump for pictures

 

[Gambino]

everyone asks for pictures and doesnt post once I put them up(eekfu) haha

 

[curacer1]

price tag yet, any whp numbers?????

 

[dbzeag]

I hope he lines the firewall and trim with some heat shield. He will melt that and the seal around the windows if he isnt' careful.

Thanks for the pics, though.

 

[ZoomVT]

those pictures without number are worthless.
cmon Phil get us all the info.
it looks good, but its gonna have to provide some very good numbers (price and/or power) to compete with HiBoost.
Talk to me goose

goose?? well, he doesnt have the EMS yet, so he isnt even running boost in the car yet. He is shooting for about 250-270 whp at 7psi. I will post numbers as soon as he gets the thing on the dyno
and like I said, he doesnt know the final price yet as the kit is not 100% complete, his email to me said somewhere near $4k

hah, if only it was that simple. I am getting a pretty sweet deal for helping him promote this thing and for getting him on mazda3online.com though!

I want to say by the end of may, but I dont see that happening since my hours at work have been sucking!!!! if anyone wants to offer a SMALL interest free loan.....(wiggle)

 

[Jeph]

Get a new job?

 

[Gambino]

yeah, that too

 

[Jeph]

Yay for boost.

 

[ZoomVT]

Thanks goldwing.... these kids....
so how sweet is your deal?
anything over 3800k would be a little too rich for my blood, as i can get the hiboost for that much.
When do you think he will have the EMS working?

I think it will be more than hiboost, but the EMS on this kit will be tons better. He is expecting the same/more power at less psi

there's no way it would be enough power to make it worth a bigger cost really. so far ~270 @ 7psi is about the top i've seen with the HiBoost. that's with a 3" exhaust and the smaller DP. only way to really get more would be to open up the DP as part of the kit like Hass. would net a few ponies for sure, but comes at a cost too.

will be interesting to see what comes of the EMS though.

the cost wont be MUCH more than hiboost. his target price is $4k, and I think if he is making his goal, it will be worth the cost

 

[SilMaz3]

how much will the cost be without the 3 inch exhaust and the intercooler? because frankly you can still run boost without the intercooler will this be like some stages you can perhaps do... i love the thought of doing a turbo kit, but i would like some stages... if not its all good...

 

[Gambino]

not too sure about the stages and cost. The kit should be ready around the first of may. He will be organizing a GB about that time. I am also going to try to get a parts list from him for like the BOV and everything
