3g's isn't bad for a greddy kit. i will have better performance though, and have only spent 1500.

Isn't the Nsport putting down 240hp @ 7psi? You get alot with the Greddy kit though. Injectors, fuel rail...

Minus the IC.

3Gs ISN'T bad for the GReddy kit, it'll make it easy for people who don't want to deal with either sourcing parts, or who can't manufacture their own.

Yes, if you have manufacturing skills you can do it for cheaper, but not everyone has that luxery, I'm glad I do

Throw an I/C on that baby and you'll be skootin'

[TurboKA37]

yea, thats a really good kit. comes with the e-manage, injectors, fuel rail..... once u get a intercooler on that it could really put down some numbers. im only really familiar with the T3/T4 series turbos, hows the turbo in that kit?

[TrunkMonkey]

i'm not impressed.

Not bad. The emange itself is like 400 isnt it. I have heard good things about that piggyback. Looks like a decent alternative to a swap. I would cop it if I had a S14 and didnt want to do a swap. Would this kit be usable on S13 DOHC??

[Projex240]

everybody probably saw my post about how much i hate the bolt on turbo kits....but i think that this greddy kit is a good buy for those who want 200-250 hp with minimal headache. True it doesnt have an intercooler....but for the horsepower this kit offers...you could go cheap and get one of those starion intercoolers modded to fit and it would be more than sufficient for those numbers. I think the price is a little steep for a non-intercooled turbo kit though....and about the turbo...20g's are good turbos capable of good power. demetrius-do you have anything positive to say? ever?

[Structure240sx]

mother****er as soon as i get my nsport kit in greddy lets their kit out. with an intercooler it would have cost the same as my nsport could make more power with a much much better fuel system. i really dont like my FMU. oh and its availbe in 1-2weeks instead of the 4 months i had to wait, damn. people better jump on this, but that might make it take longer to get also

[TrunkMonkey]

demetrius-do you have anything positive to say? ever?

sure. why i just said something nice just yeste...uh...i mean...last uh...

nevermind.

for the wait that the 240 community had to endure for this kit, you'd think that it would at least come intercooled. compared to the other turbo kits that they offer, this one in my opinion, was just tossed together. i mean, c'mon. how much r&d do you think really went into this thing. the kit seems to be as basic as they come. i believe they made it just to keep the people that kept nagging them about it quiet, and to feed the demand of the newfound popularity the 240 has come into.

is this thing even carb approved? i thought that was the big thing everyone was drooling for.

-demetrius

[Structure240sx]

tru but do any of greddy's kits come with an intercooler?

[TrunkMonkey]

no, but most of greddy's turbo kits are upgrades for oem turbo systems.

-demetrius

[Xero]

the Honda turbo kits don't come intercooled, and that's what they sell the most of on these shores...they have intercooler kits, which are usually made and released a couple months later,

[C-Kwik]

They were pretty adamant about getting the CARB EO numbers for it. And if you think about it, other kits that are out start and around $3500. Add in an E-Manage and injectors and it will put you up and over $4000. You can get the Greddy Kit for $3K then an I/C for less than $1000 and you've already come out better. And if you are in Cali, and it is indeed CARB legal, then it is certainly not a bad deal.

[Structure240sx]

yea what Xero said was exactly what i was thinkin of also the miata kit

[JESTER]

210 hp, two to three years development, no intercooler....

No I dont think I will go with Greddy. We need someone to put together a detailed list of componets and write up of installation for home made kits.

I wouldn't buy Greddy just for the amount of time they jerked off while designing this kit. It couldn't have taken that long to design.

[TurboKA37]

yes i agree that this kit was thrown together but by no means does that make it a bad kit. it comes with larger injectors and a emanage which allows u to upgrade ur turbo kit easily. just add a intercooler and a few other components and u could be putting down some good numbers. can u get better performance for less money by parting a kit together yourself? yes. does everybody have the capability to part a kit together? no.

[cnichols]

I think it looks like a decent deal because I would imagine you will have almost zero hassle putting this thing on and that manifold doesn't look too shabby either. I had a hell of a time getting a custom manifold and downpipe fabbed up. I am really considering this kit for my daily driver. If you're looking to make BIG power, it may not be the best option, but definitley a good starting point IMO.

[KApwr]

Wow!! I thought this was an urban legend but I called Greddy and they did confirm it. For the money it is not a bad kit if :

1. It retains stock-like driveability while making good power (210-220whp)

2. Greddy makes available the e-Manage support tool to users and not just authorized Greddy dealers

The kit comes w/ a TD06 which has the same footprint as a T3 which you can prolly upgrade later to a Garrett t3/t4 if your turbo craps out but you will need to modify the downpipe. The e-manage support tool will be the most important because of the ability to alter the fuel and ignition timing maps. We'll see what happens in a month when they start shipping these puppies

[cnichols]

At least it gives one more option to buy a manifold...if they'll sell it separate that is.

The emanage support tool IS available to anyone now. It's been available for a while now.

WHat about a 3" downpipe, add that also.

[240sxCompton?]

CARB Legal Yes or NO?

[I am Technoman]

Well at least you can tune this kit. This kit is the only one I know that can really be tuned other than what an FMU could do for you. For 600 dollars more.:rolleyes

[I am Technoman]

C kwick is right. as much "time" as greddy put into the "research" in this kit im not so impressed but I would like to know what that turbo can do for a KA???? I think it's a 20G?

[TurboKA37]

yea im planning on WDRacing's kits which should come out round jan.-feb. but if something goes wrong with his kits or he takes too long to make them i think ill go with this kit. im only lookin for about 250rwhp in the end so it should be decent.

[Projex240]

the 20gs on eclipses usually run right about 350 or so when maxed out- possibly more. Theyre pretty good turbos from what ive seen in the past. Id like to know what the turbine wheel trim and specs are on the turbo.

According to someone's post here(about the middle of the page) the TD06-20G puts out 430-450 at 22psi. Not bad. Not sure what the S(TD06'S'-20G in the Greddy Kit) adds or removes from this figure but I wouldn't imagine it would affect this too much. If power is that much of a concern though, I believe there are kits out there that modify or replace mitsubishi turbos with gerrett components. DSM guys might be a good resource here.

But if I didn't have a turbo already and I was looking to put one on, I'd go for the Greddy kit. I'm in cali so it would just be sweet to get rolled by an officer and show him that the kit is 100%LEGAL. I'd even love for him to cite me anyways just so I can make him look like an *** in court. But that's just me. Maybe I will get the kit after all....haha

[creophus]

Just to clarify, this kit makes 210rwhp, WITHOUT an I/C and at 6psi?

edit:

And is anyone trying to get a group buy going on this? Might be difficult since its brand new and they may not be willing to lower their price.
