Default Guess what greddy just got in?

They just received their supercharger kits. The superchargers aren't available yet but I have a buddy that works there and he said they came in a few days ago. No word on the cost of them yet. I would say probably 3500 bucks for the kit, which would include injectors and emanage. Probably won't be worth it imo.

I know for sure the kit is for the XB. I keep asking him for more information but from what I understand, they are working out pricing. When they were prototyping I don't think it made much WHP at all. I don't know we will see what happens. Someone needs to make an affordable kit, or offer the proper internals to boost 16+lbs

you could do all the internalls in the world, the problem is the engine management...unless its a standalone or a reflash, nobody has figured it out yet.

I heard the Ultimate has a few bugs they are still working out but its such a new unit that its expected. I would wait a lil bit so they could work out the kinks.

According to my contact at Greddy, they will not be persuing a US Spec turbo kit for the xB. They CAN however, now import the JDM bB turbo kit, you just have to have the eManage programmed for a US Spec instead of the JDM. (Reputable shop should be able to do this). It retails in the catalog for (approximately) $2300. It's listed in yen, so that's a rough guestamate. Should take about 5 weeks to ship. Hope this helps.

here's a question, if you could get an imported bB engine, with the japanese ecu, could you then swap that into the xB and then put the japanese greddy turbo on it?
