Most of Greddy's good parts and kits are for 90s cars. Their 350Z and Rx-8 turbo kits aren't so great either.

^^This is exactly what I thought of when I heard the news. Most of the people on RX8 club that still have their cars do NOT own, or recommend Greddy for almost anything.

I guess it's time for me to start selling turbo kits on eBay for all the yod00ds on this forum:

500whp capability! No forged internals or ECU tuning needed! Yours for just $799 plus shipping from Taiwan!*

I don't see this happening at all. Seems to me like people are speaking from experience or personal exposure to Greddy products. And I have to agree with the nay-sayers. Greddy has an abundance of capital and engineering talent, is first to the market every time, and yet somehow they end up being outshone by smaller, more passionate organizations offering much better value and performance. My money is on history repeating itself with the advent of the FT86 platform.

It's not just the supercharger though, it's supercharger + exhaust + who knows what.

like this GReddy argument, I hope someone like KraftWerks comes out with a Rotrex supercharger kit that makes more power and costs less than the HKS kit. But hey, gotta start somewhere, right?

At least they are supporting the platform

All these ej swaps is making me sad

This is so true. No matter how any of us feel about Greddy this is good news for the 86.

I agree completely. I'd wait on the specialists to come to market. At 3MI Racing, I do internals for Subaru's and that's it. I've been talking with my buddies at Full Race, Cobb, Deatchwerks, Turn In Concepts, Kartboy, etc...we're all just waiting for the ball to drop. We don't have our respective cars yet to whore out our products ;)

Give it time.
