Greddy Turbo
 
I bought myself a RX8 R3 09' and i have had it about a year and i bought myself a Greddy Turbo II and i know i need to get myself a blow off valve but do i really need a boast gauge? I was also curious if you could tell me how much hp i would gain and how fast it would become.

This was originally posted in the TurboXS forum. I have moved it here because he is in some serious need of help.

Read the stickies in the Major Horsepower Upgrades forum. Sounds like you have a lot of work ahead of you...

expect maybe 70-100rwhp improvement. Get a good tune!!!

You're joking right?
Ok, I won't flame .... I'm having a weak moment I guess.

Technically I guess you don't need a boost gauge ... but why the hell wouldn't you?

To save a couple dollars after spending all that cash on a turbo kit?

And how fast will it become ...... I don't understand the question .....

Like quarter mile? Around the block, on a 2 mile super speedway?

Its a 2009, how do you plan to tune it?????

^ a stand alone? Lol, Series IIs have been boosted.. But he needs to read ma hjor horsepower threads

You could run 2-3 psi on the stock tune .....
But he wouldn't know anyway because there is no boost gauge.

Lol oh no i know that S2's have been boosted, I was more curious on how he was planning on tuning it without any significant knowledge on boosting the renny

in all seriousness, I am not too familiar with what comes with the greddy turbo II kit :dunno:

for series 1 cars we have been through countless changes to make the kit reliable and sufficient. Plug and play will not be an option for you.

Major concerns:

- tuning
- understanding what a turbo actually does and how it works (this may require some reading on your part :lol: )


will you need a blow off valve? YES
will you need to recirculate that valve? Yes

to all others, anyone know what the kit comes with?

I'm assuming it comes with an emanage ultimate, not ideal for tuning but will work.
