XS Engineering Kit?
 
Does anyone have this kit or have you seen it? Good or bad?

Hey check out Super Street Mag. of October 2000. They did an installation of this kit. I'm quoting staight from page 126:
"XS claims that the bolt on single turbo kit is good for 370hp @ 12 pounds of boost with no sacrifice in low power or throttle response."
You won't pass emissions and the wastegate empties to the atmostphere making it a bit loud. I was considering it but ended with HKS TO4E instead. Get the Mag it has 2 other rotary articles that you will enjoy.

Hey Red, have you dynoed your car yet? What other mods do you have on it?

The XS kit is a nice kit for the price. Comparable to the HKS T04E kit.

I thought XS had several different kits. Which one are we talking about?

Also 370hp (I'm assuming to the wheels)- that isn't much more than the stock twins can do is it? Probably at better effiencies though. Just that if I were to go single I'd want to get a significant increase in HP for the amount of money it costs (without much sacrifice in low-rpm power).

They claim 370hp? No dyno plots?

Yeah I was thinking of getting the same kit but I havent heard any good or bad about it. I wish I can get the OCT Mag of super street but its to late now. I was wondering does anyone has this on their car. By upgrading to this turbo do you have to remap the ecu? How good is the kit?

Oh Yeah I dont care about emmisions I dont need it where I live. https://www.rx7club.com/ubb/cwmsmilies/cwm11.gif

why waste your money on XS kit when you can pay $1000 more for T-78?

X S Engineering rocks!!!

If you have or considering a PowerFC, this is the place to go. The guys there are great and knowledgeable. Pete eats and sleeps RX-7 - he has one that he proceeds to blowup just for more practice - just kidding. They do all the right things to make your ride special, special and fast!

Check out mine!

Thank you. It is actually my wife's - seriously. I got the '99 stuff from Dynamic Performance in Lake Forest. Talk to Lloyd. They are at 714-457-1234. They are great and have excellent prices and support. The Se-37s were somewhere north of $400 I think. Call them and get the exact pricing as I got the wheels and tires there also. By the way, the Nexus 265/18 and Nexus 225/18 fit great!!! This is a great setup. If you lower the car, make sure you roll those fenders!

take care!
