The injectors that come with the kit are 370's. A couple have gotten 300hp crank....this is not advisable for long. You will need larger injectors.

The manifold the kit comes with can not be trusted over 10psi. You will getcreep and inconsistent boost numbers. You will need to switch to another manifold and external wg. The only off the shelf manifold that will work with the kit is the ETD manifold.

Injectors, manifold, wg will set you back $1000 on top of the kit.

You may not want to use the greddy kit for your power goals.

Why are you buying a tb spacer...junk.

Why are you buying a fuel pressure regulator? The stock DE fpr is just fine. This is not a honda.

Nice copy and paste. Think outside the box (crate) and build your own setup.

[frsh13]

1 week to post pics or else we are gona you for life!

seriously, sounds like a nice build. I cant wait for the pics

[480sx]

The greddy kit isnt considered to be even a good way to go. It actually has quite a few draw backs, including a ridiculous price tag that make it a perfect example of what not to get. You can spend 3+ grand wayy better than the stuff greddy gives you in that kit.

I dont know what that other guy is talking about, but the AMS crate motor is a great way to go if you have the cash.

Also, the stock FPR is not designed for the amount of fuel a high flow pump will move. An aftermarket FPR is a great buy on a turbocharged car, added insurance to your fueling system, as well as adjustability.

[ShionS14]

just curious, why cant the manifold be trusted over 10psi? do you own the kit?

[joenismos15]

Yes all the parts listed i do own, The TBS was a gift, Dont know if im gonna use it but ill see,I got the FPR Beacause my stock one is leaking. I went with the Greddy kit beacause at the time it was mainly for the stock engine i still have it Right now and in the future i do plan to change out the Turbo manifold Turbo DP and i am looking at getting some new injectors for the Greddy fuel rail. The Stock Engine is Dead Thats why i went with the AMS motor plus they do great work i have no complaints only one issue with them but thats not a big deal (Used an S13 head instead of a S14 head NO biggie). Like i said in the First Post i Only have pictures of Piles of parts But if you want those ill throw them up. These parts will be Going in in the next week or two so ill post pics of the car as it sits right now too (Exhaust, Greddy Turbo Kit, Blown Engine).

[ShionS14]

looks like you had clearence issues with the heat shield and master cylinder too.

[joenismos15]

Yeah thats the only problem i really had with the Greddy Kit, it actually doesnt touch but it is Very Close and if the engine Moves it scrapes it.

[ShionS14]

ya my motor mounts are worn and every now and then the you can feel the shield tap against the master cylinder through the brake pedal. freaked me the f*** out the first couple of times it happened. but ya that is the only fitment issue i had too. i had heard so many people complain about getting the manifold on because of the clearances but it really wasn't bad at all.

[joenismos15]

yeah there was nothing else that really came to mind about the kit other than that, I hate when people just dislike something so they talk **** about it even though they have never owned it or used it. but as they say there is always someone with a good experience and some one with a bad one.

[480sx]

Your taking this the wrong way man. You didnt make it clear that you already had the list of parts. To us, it looked like a wish list of stuff.

Its not simply that we dont like it so were talking **** either. Most of us know our stuff, and we know the products that are available for our cars. We know which are the good buys, and which to stay away from. This knowledge was gained here from first hand experiences, and discussions about specifically that kit that you have.

Sorry if we(or I) offended you, that was not my intention. Good luck with your build.

It's all good man, you'll get to know us as you hang out and post some more. We're all a bunch of pretty good dudes. Anybody with a KAT is ok in my book.

[joenismos15]

Uh, i think i need to use more punctuation or grammar in my posts. I was not offended by the remarks to the greddy kit. But maybe the snide honda comment *which wasnt you so No worries*

[WDRacing]

Cmon...you know you secretly want a Civic so you can install a big ole wing and use some rain gutter for a diy body kit

[joenismos15]

ohh then i can get some indiglo H emblems that add 10hp and some 50 hp Type Rice Floor mats !!!!!!!!! excuse me while i go take shower to wash the shame off

[joenismos15]

Any who i have been looking for more info on the greddy turbo i cant find a map for it or find a solid answer on what PSI it can goup to without becomming a detonation cannon.

[480sx]

Theres a ton of factors that can cause detonation. Most of its just in the tune. I cant stress it enough. You can get away with cheaping out on most anything EXCEPT the tune. Your best option would be to call up local tuners and find out who knows the Emanage, then take it to them to be dyno tuned.

[joenismos15]

i meant a compressor map im getting it tuned by JE import performance they are pretty darn good with the e-manage.

[480sx]

Plenty of maps available for the TD06. Google --> compressor map TD06

[B-rad Smizzel]

get those spark plug wires away from the turbo or else you will you will be buying new ones every week

[joenismos15]

car is not running did a compresson test and didnt really put everything back neatly but i will get them off of thre when it is running again.

[ShionS14]

here ya go

Hey if you don't mind me asking, do you have any more info on this racing series.I live right down the road in Bel Air, and this seems very interesting.

[joenismos15]

yeap once i get another flyer for it ill scan it in and post it up its run by the Vette club next one is supposed to be at Ripken stadium in aberdeen.

[joenismos15]

**UPDATE**

Work has started!!

Got some new injectors too

780cc (Precision Turbo brand)

using them on the Greddy Fuel Rail

[jbenz]

i'm looking forward to seeing the complete car!

[240sxinlv]

**UPDATE**

Work has started!!

Got some new injectors too

780cc (Precision Turbo brand)

using them on the Greddy Fuel Rail

Do the new injectors pop right in to the rail and clip right into the harness?

Can I get the part number?

Thinking of using these.

Thanks!

[joenismos15]

Pops Right into the Greddy fuel rail needs new harnesses get a set of 4 for 279.. from:

http://www.jeimportperformance.com/items/185

part number: SC1O780

[joenismos15]

Going well just need to get the clutch to arrive then get it all buttoned up tuned and broken in.

With all the mods done it will be nice to see where the Greddy kit tops out at guess ill be the guinea pig too see get some dyno numbers posted as soon as its tuned.
