Question any group buy of RRM +30 wHP kit?

(+30 wHP kit= RRM CAI+RRM exhaust+ RRM ECU, i think they should make such a kit)

Hi guys is anyone want this kit too or is there any group buy? +30 whp sounds real good, if it is +30 whp, the RA will get 200+bhp, so it's gonna kill the celica GTSes or RSXes.

real want this kit badly

162 hp + 30 hp = 192 hp. not quite 200+, but still a great improvement. I wouldn't mind it.. don't think there will be a group buy though.

theres cheaper ways to get that much and more power......i bought an Apex-I SAFC 2 for about 250 (MSRP is 600 i think) and my gtech (unofficial dyno...hehe) showed me a gain of 24.8 horses......i also have the RRM CAI and a Ractive exhaust..... deals on both.....there are better ways to get that much power...but then again i'm just a kid....ask someone here who knows

wow, they say there is a +30 whp, so i guess it might be like a +35 bhp or something. 192 is still a impressive number though still gonna kill celica and rsxes it's a shame RRM doesn't make it a kit

You gained an unoffical 25hp just from SAFC? That sounds out-there.

^^^ 2-3hp (maybe)... not enough to fell any significant power. Throttle response and a bit pickup speed will be noticable, but thats with "any" exhaust.

Just with the Apex-i S-AFC II you can get good gains but prolly around 20HP but not to the wheels...

How much would this "Kit" cost? because things like the exhaust will only get you a net gain of aobut 1-2 HP in real world terms, not company speced results.

You gotta figure that each part by itself may not add that much, but rather each is a component in a system... where the sum of their whole is greater than their parts. Personally, I'd like an exhaust system that's just a bit louder and deeper than stock, even if by itself it only adds in inperceptible amount of horsepower. Coupled with a piggyback & a CAI it should be worthy.

Oh yeah, I'd be in for a group buy.
