Greddy Turbo Kits?
-
god damn kid, you say shit that i dont even say. The greddy kit is one of the most reliable kits out ther on a stock motor. SLS's kit would be harder on my motor because i would push it more. Plus the greddy kit is one of the most reliable, streetable, carb legal kits out there. I would love to have SLS's kit, but its not really what im looking for. If i was building a strict race car yes, but i wouldnt spend that much to turbo a more show car that race car, also because i have to do alot of body work too, bodykit and paint. the money i would save going the greddy way i would spend on my body kit.

I'm gonna have to stick up for Harwood here. I also have no doubt that nick could build a more powerful kit than this and still be reliable, but I think what he's saying is that for the money HE FEELS THIS IS HIS BEST OPTION. Unless you're financing his build you shouldn't care what he does. Enough of the e-fighting, this shit gets old. Good luck on you car Harwood I hope your car turns out the way YOU want it to.

As far as show goes, the Greddy is far from a flashy kit. Harwood you got a lot of things to learn about forced induction. The Greddy kit is not going to net you better than low 15's on 5.5 psi. To get that thing into the 12's your gonna need 200+whp. W/ that TD04/5 you're gonna need to push 12+ psi. Boost is not what kills motors, amateurs w/ poor tuning blow motors. I got my hatch right now between 12-14 psi and its going strong. Lastly my car gets 40mpg on the highway!!

BTW: hell ya on the 40mpg

the main reason why i am going for the greddy kit is so i have money to do the body work i am going to do. I personally think the greddy kit looks good under the hood. Plus i wouldnt need to upgrade the fuel system right away and all that other stuff. running 12's would be close to the end of the summer.
BTW: who can tune emanage around here?

ANY kit can look good under the hood of a car harwood....did you ever see nicks white integra....that engine was clean as hell!!.........and knowing you once you get this greddy kit...you car still wont be fast enough for you...you can run 5.5 psi on a SLS kit...its called a MBC.....have it tuned at that for however long you want...then turn the boost up and get it tuned again!!!....because your never gonna break 12's with a greddy kit unless you buy the most expensive one that comes with everything and cost around 5-6k.

ur all wasting your time. I can almost guarantee that there will be no turbo under the hood of that car. Harwood is so undecisive, his plans change every week.i know my plans have been changing alot, but this is actually going down. I have the money and i will definatelly do this if everyone keeps saying its not going to happen.
also my plans were not to turbo this civic because i was going to get troys hatch, but when my rents just give me one of their old cars to use as a winter car plans change.
Nick what can you set up for a turbo kit for around 2000-2500?

i am just wondering what he can set up for a kit, if i will need to be other shit too than i wont go with the sls kit. I can get the greddy kit for my civic(they only make one for it) for $1500 shipped plus $500 for the PRofec E-01 Programmer & Boost controller. and than eventually upgrade the fuel system and get a FMIC and BOV.
