Im savin cash right now. About $600 a month for my turbokit. Im looking to have my tC boosted before the end of the year. Is the GReddy kit the best kit in its price range. Its $3300 w/ the fuel option #1 shipped. And, on 8.5psi that 100 more hp. Im thinking this is a good kit since, its GReddy.

 

I wouldn't get it because of the simple fact it uses an internal wastegate. Many of the Greddy owners have had issues with this breaking. Keep on saving and look into the following kits:

Dezod
TurboToyotas
Treadstone
Turbonetics

 

I see in your signiture your on the tradestone kit. how is the kit goin for you. and what are u usin for tuning. would the emanage with the 440s be fine.

 

this would solve your internaly gated problem.

just get yourself a tial 44mm wg and have fun.

 

I'm very happy with the Treadstone set up. It gets a bit of a bad wrap with the amount of bumper cutting necessary to get the piping to fit. But i have had ZERO issues with the kit. 440's and an Emanage would be great for any modest boost set up. If you plan on running more that say 8-9 psi, you might want to opt for 550cc injectors. Dezod offers these with their kits. Just remember, although the prices of some kits appear to be in-expensive, there are a ton of hidden and un-forseen costs with aftermarket boost. Just realize that before you delve into it. I'm not sure of your level of knowledge so sorry if you already know this. Whatever you do, don't ask what kit is the best! LOL!!! Your best bet is to call each company and speak with them and let them sell you on what you SHOULD get and what you shouldn't. Then you get facts and not opinions.

 

HA! Is that the 'snail' your 'crawling' with?

 

no, but its almost as big. it seems that greddy kits are getting some kind of bad name, because a few wastegates broke. this turbo seems like it would be a pretty nice solution, dont ya think? its dsm flanged so it would be a direct replacement, and you could run an external wastegate.

 

Ask Paul from Dezod... He'll give you a nice price for a reliable and at the same time, good lookin custom made kit!

Turbo Toyotas have really powerful kits even at low boost.
And if you want cheap, the Treadstone doesn't need an EManage, but you have to cut your bumper or change it to a custom body kit.

 

you would also need this.

I dont want cheap. I want reliability. Im not gonna cheap out on this. Im looking to spend $3,500 or less. Thats why Im interested in the GReddy since its 3300 from this one site I found.

 

you dont want cheap, but you want to spend 3500 or less???? 3500 is cheap.

 

Yes! 5600+bucks is the price for a reliable water/oil/air cooled turbo kit that looks nice!

Greddy is made for advertisement like ZPI... (You could get the Greddy but you may want to ask them if they'll sell a kit to you without a turbo assembly.)

 

Greddy makes very good turbo kits, im not saying there the best but they have been building turbo kits loonger then most and have sold alot of kits and they to support there products. When the rsx kits were relased the e-manages didnt work properly and they had a tech fly to Ny and around the country fixing maps. they have also replaced my manifold on the tc kit i wish it hadent broke but i belive the turbo inlet gasket may have had to do with it so i suggest everyone use a replacement gasket you can get from your local nissan dealer from a TT 300ZX. my kit has 24k miles on it and i dont regret it. i love the way the turbo spools i dont burn a drop of oil and drive the car a ton. i wont lie i have blown a motor but i have to take account that if i had a boost guage in the car this would have never happend. as far as internal wastgates go a small metal rod can bend in shipping.

 

Does the internal wastegate bother you with breaking down?

 

I agree, I know 2 guys in my car club on a close level, and the greedy kit for them has been problem-free. Another guy who lives near me has the greddy set-up on a fully built motor (sleeved and all), 750cc injectors, boost pressure sensor. Pretty sure he is over 400whp.

You have to be careful what you read on this forum because many people say what the have "heard" happen. One guy might say his friend "heard" a guy had his Greddy turbo wastegate stick, and then 10 people read that, and they all post saying they "heard" that happens, when in reality the story is the idiot left the wastegate vac line off. This is just an example. Like 2 years ago every person on here said anything above 6psi on the 1.5 was impossible, now i laugh.
On the flipside there is valuble info on here to get u pointed in the proper direction, and until you talk to somebody on here that has actually experienced a problem, don't believe everything.

 

by the time you factor in gauges, install, extra tuning if you want a more precise tune, new clutch, etc. etc. you're looking at a LOT more than $3500... keep that in mind

 

just get the RViT monitor for 300bucks instead of 500+ for analog gauges... Clutch upgrade and (opt. flywheel) is a necessity even with stock N/A engines so, that's not included in price. Also you may want a Stiffy torque damper so you can feel you engine and know when to shift right...

Emanage is cheap too, so it's not much of a problem.

 

dude what are you talking about? lol. can the blitz unit read wideband A/F ratios? narrow band are useless now. a clutch upgrade is NOT a necessity with stock N/A engines, so OF COURSE it is included in the price. why wouldn't it be? same goes for flywheel. btw, how is a stiffy tq dampener going to let you "feel" your engine and let you know when to "shift right" lmao. i'd prefer to simply look at my tach. if i was going to get an engine limiter, it would be to stop wheel hop and help anchor my engine under hard acceleration.

edit: emanage is cheap? ok it's not the most expensive thing out there, but i could buy TRD springs and rear sway bar for the price of 1 emanage. plus when you add tuning, installation or dezod harness, it's not too cheap anymore.

 

Okay, he should save 4grand for a nice safe Greddy setup... (not including tune and install)

 

Wow, ForPinks tries to sound like a turbo expert when he was, a week ago, asking about turbos and then S/C, and then back to turbos...
