Greddy Turbo Kits?

[harwood39]

ok, I am wondering if Greddy Turbo kits are worth it for my civic? Are they any good? Is E-manage any good? Does anything have to be modded computer wise if i peice together a kit?

greddy turbo kits are way to expensive for what you get IMO

[seanjohn]

Yeah man, you can get something far better for the same price or even cheaper. Check out peak boost or drag turbo kits. Are you on the d-series motor still???

piece it together to suite your needs and have money left over for a dyno tune

[weshole]

Talk to Tufte. He's done his homework and will be ALOT cheaper than a Greddy kit.

Word this is the best choice, but if your new to world of FI talk to Nick. We all know he likes d-series.

[harwood39]

I am still running the d-series. I can get the greddy kit for 1400. But i also thought of peicing together a kit for the same amount, maybe less. Here is the kit i was thinking of peicing together.

Turbonetics T3 60 trim .48 A/R turbo
Turbonetics 35mm Wastegate
All the piping and clamps
All the lines and fittings
304 Stainless tubular header
3" intake w/filter
BOV
Stainless Downpipe

the only thing i like about the greddy kit more is that it comes with fuel management

[STiSchucky]

Thought you were selling your car like a week ago

[Bryce]

Don't forget you need a fuel pump.

[PSiedTSi]

and injectors

[harwood39]

i know i need injectors and fuel pump. I priced out a much better deal on a kit. $850 for the following. Everything is new in the box.

Stainless mani
t3/t4 t04e .50 .63 turbo
24"x12"x76mm FMIC
38mm Tial wastegate
3" down pipe
BOV
all flanges
all lines
all gaskets
all fittings

All i would need is IC piping, Intake Pipe, Fuel pump, Injectors, and some sort of fuel management.

hector just came in to harrys today...and he is gonna be running 3 honda spoon engines with T66 turbos and a motec system exhaust! and you know i cant lose again

[harwood39]

wow, now we are quoting f & f. Nice, but lets keep this on track. I really need to know this stuff.

[seanjohn]

Check H-T forced induction classifieds, you can find some pretty sweet deals on d-series stuff.

[bluejays]

seriously take it to tufte and talk to him. i bet he could hook you up with a nice pieced together system. or at least point you in the right direction. he has played with the d series engine already

[PSI2HI]

You need a IC and a BOV there as well. The Greddy kit does come w/ their oh so famous "blue box". It's a joke. If anything run a AFC and 450's.

By the time you get the Greddy kit and their FMIC you get well over $2000 into it, and it wont make any power anyways especially not w/ their "blue box". Most commonly on the stock boost Greddy kits bang out around 150whp

[Guest]

overall everyone is saying if you go with greddy...your gonna get raped....their cheapest fmic is like 700 bucks.

[PSI2HI]

Its not necessarily raped. $2000-2500 is a pretty damn good deal for a complete turbo kit. $700 is a pretty good deal as well for a complete FMIC setup although once again the Greddy uses small and very long routed piping. But the point being is the Greddy kit is built very conservative to suite everybody. In which case its not gonna make big power, its not gonna give you good times @ the track, but it will make the car a lot more fun to drive. In most cases people are turboing the cars for the power. The Greddy kit just wont give you that w/o running a lot of boost.

harwood your plans change like every day
