hey guys i am considering buying a greddy turbo

and this is what it comes with

wastegate
emanage


i know i will still need a blow off value and an intercooler and of coarse good pipin.. i got a custom fabricator for that so thats good. and a boost controller,, turbo timer, exhaust manifold, and im lost after that, i think bigger injectors and not sure after that..

i utilized the search and couldnt find a thread listing every item needed to intall the kit what all do i need.

please help a brotha out..

You're buying a used kit? Because new kits come with all that stuff

If you're buying a used kit with no manifold or downpipe, skip on it, you will have a hard time making a custom to fit the GReddy snail and by the time you do all that you should just deviate from the GReddy path anyways....

well it does come with a manifold but tis for an rsx and it does have a down pipe.. tell me if you would pass on this deal..

turbo
wastegate
emanage
boost gauge
down pipe
and some hoses

200$ bucks..

i got this deal from a friend of mine..

Which turbo is it and is it in good condition? Unless that turbo is a good match for the RX8 you are getting nothing useable out of that deal.

ilovemy8

your probably right im askin now..

and the turbo is reccomended a rebuild...

and if its not there is someone out there who wants one and i can flip it and make more money

model - t517z

and i just looked it up and it shows that, model works with the rx8

ilovemy8

okay and also

what do i need all together for this 8 to work well.. injector upgrades stuff like that..

Dude, nothing in that kit is usable. I would pass on it.

That turbo is even more undersized than the T618Z that comes with OUR kit, you will not make good power with it.

You're going to spends $1,000s getting a manifold, dp, charge piping, etc made.

And the emanage sucks.

Just the fact you're considering this tells me you really have clue what you're getting into, do some more research on turbocharging the 8.

Basically there is nothing in the kit that you can use...maybe the boost controller...but the piping/turbo/e-manage...will all be too small for a rotary anything

Pass on it...and save yourself a lot of headaches

ilovemy8

well i must say i trust your words.. should i buy it and resell it for more??

The boost guage might be useful LOL

There is a reason he is selling it so cheap......

ilovemy8

i told u its a good friend of mine that is why i get it for that price.

If the turbo needs rebuilt then there really isnt anything of value in that kit aside from maybe the guages.
Its like me telling you I'll sell you your favorite candy bar for a penny. Sounds like a great deal! But I'm only gonna give you the wrapper, because I already ate half the bar and the other half I dunked in a toilet.
