I was looking into buying the Greddy turbo kit but I wanted to get some feedback from you guys. If you are running this system and have some feedback or pics please reply to the post. Thanks guys.

 

Hey if you from SoCal there is a TURBOCHARED XB running in tomorrows event "BATTLE OF THE IMPORTS" Pomona.

I hear it's going to be pretty fast. About the Greddy I hear thier having problems with the E Manage. So they can't make any power.. but you never know it might just be a Greddy kit.

Well n e ways if any one shows up there please take pix of the turbo kit and post... I want to get one but I can't make it to the event tomorrow.

Thanks in advanced!

 

my buddy works at greddy here in south county they were just putting a supercharged xb on the dyno.

 

Duey is running the Greddy kit, and one more is about to break out in the next couple of months.

 

i wonder what the difference in management is for the turbo compared to the super. cause it seems people are having better reliability luck with the super than the turbo....

 

I dont seem to be having a problem with my turbo...... Its reliable and power delivery is exceptional.

 

Im real curious to see what everyones A/F ratio at time of failure on these motors was...are any of thse people running management systems, upgrading fuel delivery?? It seems like people are just slapping on a turbo and praying for the best...its obvious you cant do that to these motors. Would anyone like to jump in that blew a rod or caused failure due to f/i and give us their side of the story?

 

i'm pretty sure in el prototypes write up, that they said they were using engine management. dunno though, lastlook, how long have you had your turbo on? and what boost lvl are you running? oh, and is it a custom kit? barrage of questions...sorry

 

My kit has been on for about a month with daily driving. I drive about 40 miles each way to work with half being highway and half being back country roads which are still taken at highway speeds...shhhh dont tell the cops... I am running between 5-7psi. I am staying fairly conservative as it is daily driven and I want to keep the reliability. Once I get my second motor that is being built, we will push the boost up and see what the stock motor can take. The kit started life as the TSI kit. I basically only used the manifold, Garrett turbo and the intercooler. Everything else was done by me. I am running the Perrin fuel rail, Power Enterprise 130lp/h fuel pump, Power Enterprise CamCon, Aeromotive adj regulator, lots of stainless braided line and the Power Enterprise 410cc injectors if they ever show....

I dont mind the questions...Keep them coming... I love to help out

 

cool, thanks for the answers

 

greddy has a scion supercharger ? what ? where? who ? when? how much. lol

 

just a heads up the greddy kit has been know to heat the firewall so much that the dash would start to melt a little so if you do get it make sure you make a good heat sheild
