I am looking at the Greddy...
I haven't heard about this... Any info or links?

A search for greddy in the FI section doesn't bring up anything and I can't see anything on their site

Thanks

They have still been struggling with the RX8. Apparently, the axial supercharger on the RX8 had some issues and the rotary inhailed the compressor's fins which in turn blew the engine. I have also heard that their fuel management has much to be desired and the overall fit and finish is not up to industry standards.

I've heard that the supercharger issues have been solved, but they are still trying to figure out the engine management. The guy I spoke with expressed his concern regarding their ability to get the engine managment solved "in-house" since none of their crew has the skill. He was suggesting that they should hire a competent someone to get those issues resolved.

However, if they get these problems solved and still proceed to make a kit for the S2000, I would not hesitate to make the purchased. I am still really excited about the supercharger design, size, effeciency, and output.

At one point RP did say he wish he would have started with the S because there is multiple proven systems out there for fuel management.

If any one gets in contact with him plz let me know or have him shoot me a pm.
(He has not been on this forum in quite a while)

The reason I want him to get a hold of me is I now work of a performance shop (in my off time form my regular engineering job) designing new parts for any number of vehicles. Mostly custom one off stuff.

Being that this is not my regular job I am very selective about what I take in.
I am willing to design/ build/ and produce the hole mounting kit for the AFSC (most likely a hot side setup or a Comptech/Vortech style mounting setup.

Where is RP?

New RP's office building looks impressively nice!

Rx-8 AFSC seems "almost" done.
When can we see progress for AFSC S2000?

I have to say the "industrial" look isn't very sexy, but the size is amazingly small and the efficiency is supurb. I'd be very interested in seeing the results of an S2000 installation.

I wish this would happen, could easily become the supercharger of choice for automobiles everywhere...

I don't think it will be cheap though
