So this weekend I stopped by Car Nutz in Bellevue, WA to visit Joel, an xB owner that works there. I ended up spending the rest of the day Saturday there and a little time on Sunday, but in the end we (Joel, Sean 'anxb2nv', and myself) had a lot of fun pretending to know Japanese and installing a Greddy turbo kit on his RS2.0 xB.

As of right now:
-the turbo kit install is complete
-the car runs
-we have not tuned the car, nor do we have any feedback to provide about performance until it is tuned
But all in all we're very happy with how things went together. We learned a lot about where everything is on the 1nzfe motor.

Sorry some of the pictures are fuzzy...

Intercooler mounting



Heat wrapping




Exhaust manifold and turbo install



All done!





This is actually an older picture of Joel's xB, now he's rolling on some deep dish Axis 18's. This car has a nice stereo setup too, I'll have to get some pictures of that too.

More to come once the car goes to the dyno shop.

Wow! This looks great! I'm tempted to order one now, haha.

 

Greddy kits are junk IMO...only good thing is that most of the kits are Carb legal

 

i've always liked greddy kits but that's me.


i hope this kit becomes carb approved but since it's been out for awhile and it isn't approved yet so it probably never will be.

screw all these companies not making theyre stuff carb approved !!!!

 

Hmm, I sense a disturbance in the Force. I may have a waited a few more months. But then again, what the heck do I know? Nothing!

 

Oops.

Nice pics dave!

The install looks pretty straight forward!

 

whatsup brad??...check out the F/I mini forum we got goin on at the top of the page .. It will hafta do for now till we get what we really want(our own forum). At least its gonna happen sooner or later

 

Hey Vito! Ok.

 

you said it was an RS2.0L xb ?? is this correct? but then later you mention the 1nZFe...... which is correct?

 

No, he meant Release Series 2.0...its the limited edition yellow for 2005...its still a 1nz

Post up more pics and ALSO, post up some videos!! If you need hosting, i can host.

 

oh, joel got it in? ill have to stop by and check it out. i bought his airbagged 04 when he got his RS2.0. he told me all about his soon to come turbo kit.

oh, and his sound system is pretty nice. sounds clean.

thats a work of art man, post up some dyno #'s and more pics

 

ahh the sweet sound of turbo on a box it was music to my ears. now i want to drive the dang thing lets get it tuned already!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

What are you using for engine management? The greddy stuff?

 

sorry for my ignorance

 

The kit came with a Greedy E-manage, its running with that for now. We've heard some problems with the setup, but we havn't encountered any yet. Its scheduled to go to the dyno shop late next week. I'll get some updates as soon as we have something.

So far we know that it spins the tires freely in wet a bit easier
