hey guys ive decided on the greddy turbo kit plus the greddy upgraded turbo

i got them down to $4400 shipped and upgraded... is this a good deal? expecting 350whp

im probably looking at 1500 installation which sux ***,

unless anybody in the virginia md dc area wana help install???

 

What on the turbo is upgraded? To be honest I would buy a used GReddy kit for about $1800-$2200 then have BNR upgrade the turbo for you. Alot cheaper.

 

its the fluid motorsports upgrade, ill paste the info below.. but otherwise only with luck i can find a used greddy kit...


description of upgrade:

Greddy Turbo Upgrade!!

To help meet the demand for more power from the Greddy turbo kit we have decided to performing an upgrade and rebuild service!

Upon receipt of your turbocharger we will disassemble, clean and inspect the unit to verify it is a candidate for a rebuild.
The turbine housing:

We start by machining the turbine housing in the area where the downpipe bolts to the turbocharger. There is a restriction in the original casting that makes the turbo flow less and maintain a higher operating temperature. Next we verify the wastegate hole was cast and machined to the maximum size for high flow and reliable operation. If not, we will port the wastegate to allow maximum flow to prevent over-boosting. We will then perform a “clip” process to the turbine wheel to further increase flow and turbo performance.

The compressor:

We have selected a compressor wheel that has excellent flow while still maintaining excellent spool and response (Similar to a 28G Turbonetics flow map characteristics). This requires that we machine the compressor cover to accept the larger compressor wheel and enlarge the inlet diameter to reduce intake restriction and improve flow.
Once all the machine work is completed we balance the new rotating assembly and reassemble the turbocharger using high quality components.

 

^I have that upgrade
it kicks ***

I'm pretty sure the BNR is good too tho. Take your pick. And +1 on finding a used kit.

I had my turbo setup for sale for a bit but no real interest. It's off the car right now. Not sure what I want to do with it yet.

 

If you are looking into buying a turbo kit let me know. I am taking of my kit in the next week, just waiting on something I need to get the car back to stock and I will be selling, I have a greddy kit with the mazdamaniac GT3071R with only 6k miles of use with injectors and everything. If you are interested contact me.

 

05rex8, how do you like the kit and did you get it tuned? im curious on the numbers your getting.. ive heard ranging from 300 to 350 rwhp.. and are you saying your selling ur setup??

alienrx8, i pmed you.. also what numbers have you experienced with your kit as well??

 

well I only ran it at 9psi so we are talking of around 300whp

but you can go way higher, more than 350 should not be hard at all with this kit.

 

$4,400 is way too expensive for that kit used.

Besides you would be a lot better off buying from one of the guys on this forum.

 

no the 4400 is brand new with upgrade.. which i now got down to 4200 shipped..

or how much does one of these setups run used?

 

Good luck getting it run at 350rwhp on stock ignition without problems.

The Greddy kit itself cost about 3.3K I think. and u probably need another 2 K to get it run ok for around 300rwhp.

the police said, used ones go for around <2K.

 

if fluid is offering the entire kit for $4,200 thats a good price for brand new..but alien and o5rex8 have some pretty good deals as well...

 

true dont expect to get good HP out of the e-manage plus you still need to buy gauges etc etc

 

Oh. Looks like I am to late on my pm.

Please disregard!

 

damn installation guys want too much money 1500 installation plus tuning...

ITS cheaper for me to fly one of you who know how to install this thing over to my place for a weekend and help me install and tune it.. haha

ANYONE wana take a trip down to VA??? lol

 

Talk to G3TR3DDY2GR3DDY he will do the install and come to you.
