did u decide where were going to race? i also have a race with rythmnsmoke so lets go down to kentucky and tape it...

 

You can always go get yourself a GReddy kit...

 

Wife's car... no need.

 

^^then why are you making things so difficult, and being all "Nose in the air" type dude. You don't even plan on going turbo? Then what's your vested interest in this thread besides trying to past doubt?

 

im on your side travis...

 

I am in this thread because I am very seriously considering purchasing a turbo if/when I get my own xB. As of right now, I am not sure if I am buying a current generation, or waiting for an '08.

And let me just say that I have no need to defend the statements I have made in this thread, or any other. What I have stated in the past stands on its own. It isn't my fault that a couple of ZPI "fanboys" hijack a thread and try to make it their own.

I have NO PROBLEM with ZPI, their employees, or their customers, except... There has been a certain level of... well... dishonesty in the way they have gone about marketing the turbo kit for the xB. I really don't know any other way to put it. If you, or anyone else can't see that, I feel sorry for you.

I do hope they work out all of the kinks, and get their kits into production. I do hope they get valid dyno numbers for the kit they actually producing. I do hope they find a solution to the transmission weak links they are finding.

I admire what ZPI (and many others) are trying to do with the xB. I don't necessarily admire how they are going about it.

 

you do have the option to go with another kit. maybe ZPI just isn't for you. other options out there consise of GReddy, Blitz (S/C'er), and I don't know any others besides those.

 

I'm with RTon20s on this one. How can ZPI be an option for anyone if they are selling the product but not shipping it out??? I don't have anything against ZPI. I do commend them for trying to push the limits on the XB. But, if ZPI has such a great kit, howcome no one is coming out to say that - except the ones that are sponsored by ZPI???

 

There is no need to try and educate me Rythm. I know exactly what kits are available for the xB. I know approximately where they are at in development, and or their track record. I have kept myself informed on the subject.

Contrary to some opinion stated in here, I'm not just in here bashing ZPI. And I am certainly not in here trying to prop up some company that can't stand on their own merit. (And no, that was not a shot at ZPI.)

I am in here doing what I can to get educated, and help educate others when it comes to owning and customizing an xB in any and every sense.

When ZPI gets themselves and their products to a place where I could in good conscience recommend them, trust me you'll know.

 

At what point does it dawn on a person that maybe they should contact the sellar to ask sellar specific questions?

 

Your previous post just sounded like you were spreading doubt, like they can't pull it off. All I'm saying is, do some research to see what they have done with the tC. They are going to push the xB as hard. Their moto is "When someone tells you it can't be done, I go do it".

And I think that's all I have to say on that matter.

 

Touchy are we...what seller specific question was I asking???
I understand that you, being a DISCIPLE of ZPI , must uphold the integrity of thier name. But why should I ask them if the kit is available when it is already advertised on thier site that it is? This has been stated on thier site for a couple months now.
My question is:

Who received an actual production kit for the XB???
How about the pre-ordered kits, has anyone receive theirs (since the kit has been available for a couple months as per the ZPI site)???
How well does it perform out-of-the-box with just having the mass produced ZPI-tuned E-manage?

I've been looking for unbiased/independent reviews for the XB kit...but have yet to find one. You drive a TC - and I'm not looking for a review on a TC kit. Plus, your sponsored - so I don't need your opinion. Like I said - unbiased.
The way I see it - you have to be sponsored in order to get a kit, or buy one from someone that's selling thiers (I tried this route, but got beat to it). I just want to know, like others out there, what to expect if I should actually purchase a kit from ZPI that is mass produced and not tuned specifically for my XB.

 

Me a Disciple. ....Naaa, I just enjoy hard working people. Maybe you should start a thread to see who has actually ordered/pre-ordered one. Or does one exists already, I don't know as I don't lurk around these parts much often?

What is the general performance expectations out of the other F/I options for the xB? I don't know what kind of power they put out, as I've only seen one dyno run on a boosted xB.

 

 

I did start a thread, but only fuscion replied - sponsored with a customed tune.

 

Ok, so all total how much does it typically run to put the supercharger in your car, and have all the req'd extras as well? Is it worth the money versus the hp output?

 

If a SCer cost about $1500-1700, then it would be worth the hp/$ ratio.. But past that no it is not... Save your money and get a turbo kit, that will take your box to it's max..

 

Great. Thats what I needed to hear. Thanks

 

Wow how did this go from a thread about Killerxromances and his 12:1 N/A then Boosted and back to N/A xb ... to an arguement about Zero Point? In a short time, I will be running a ZPI made kit. I will make it a point to take it to the track, to hit a dyno with it and no it won't be installed by anyone in KY. So please, lets stop the bash and trash and get back to the matter at hand.... BOOOOOOOOOOOOOST!

 

Great! Love to see what it can do.

What ZPI bashing are you talking about???
