Default R&D for CX Racing

I was inquiring this company about a forced induction kit and this is their reply email below.

"Yes we are interested. What we offer is to use your car as a template, to develop a few parts. When we are done, will give you a set for free. But you will need to pay a little bit money for our mechanic for labors (around $500). We will supply the parts for free. Once we made the kit, we will put your car back to stock and send the parts to manufactures, once they are made, then give you the free set ( the process takes about 8 to 10 weeks to have product).

We will need your car for about 2 weeks.

For sure we can make a downpipe, and exhaust catback. For turbo kit, we don’t know how much room it has, so need to see it first. If it is doable, then we will do it. if not, we will do the simple parts.

Let me know if you are interested".

FYI.

The area code is 626, so I'm guessing somewhere in Riverside county here in California.

My apologies, I've been really busy lately with my new job. Anyways, I haven't contracted with CX Racing myself for any parts or kits, but many people are inquiring me about them. I'm not sure if anyone has jumped on the opportunity, but if I hear anything I'll definitely let you guys know. From its website, it seems that they are located in El Monte, CA.

for what its worth, just got a hold of these guys today, and they WERE interested in making a kit after getting a lot of requests, but when it came time for payment, a lot of people backed out... said to check back early next year and see if hes changed his mind.

Well I don't now anything aboout them making a kit for the xd but heres a link to thier site. www.cxracing.com

I still have my eye on the xb2 kit but I was hopeing someoe would come forward with it and a review on it before taking the plunge. I've heard talk of someone local with it but have yet to see anyne run thier kit. The 240sx boards have decent reviews on thier kits, many people bash em but the people actually runing them have nothing bad to say. G'luck and cant wait to see your setup if you go through with it.

I recently installed the CXR XB2 kit and am very pleased with it for the money. There were no instructions but the fitment was very good and the few parts that were missing from the original shipment were quickly shipped by CXR without any hassle or extra cost. The biggest fitment issues were the MAF mount and the battery. I had to make a MAF adapter plate from 1/8" aluminum bar stock (home depot) and replace the oversized 35 oem battery with a smaller 26R. Considering that most 2x cost XB2 kits have problems with the DP hitting the lower radiator hose, I consider these issues to be minor. The kit works as advertised and customer support was great.

The biggest catch 22 is that there is no technical support to speak of. If you think you can work it all out yourself, have a friend who can or are willing to pay someone to install it, it's a great kit for the money. If you need a perfect fit and someone to walk you through the install and setup, it may not be for you.

A nice manifold would be great. That's the most complicated piece of the kit. The rest can be easily put togeather.

Also, don't forget the Management... The AEM FIC is our best shot, but no one has installed one yet on this car...


If those 2 things can be sorted out... then custom is the way to go.

I don't think we will see a "complete" xD Turbo kit on the market any time soon.


Custom FTW!!!


BTW I adquired an used AEM from a guy who failed installing in on a Yaris. I will give it a shot and see if I can get it to work on my NA car. If it works then I'll start piecing my own kit.
If it doesn't work I also have a NX nitrous kit on the way as a power back up
