Greddy Turbo Kit F.A.Q's. post them here
#376
Upgrading the wires alone won't make a difference, we usually swap for better coils and wires altogether.
Wonder who makes them? Bhr!
May I ask you where are you from? You say that you have an EUDM rx8 and from your nick i guess that you're from spain ort portugal... am I right?

The coils are those 4 boxes that give the spark to spark plugs, I don't speak portuguese so I don't know how to put it in a simpler way!
Here's the link for the upgraded ones
Nice to see a fellow european member here though!

Does anyone know if Greddy has sorted the problems that came with the kit originally? I know for example that now the kits come with the e-manage ultimate, but does that mean that they now also control ignition as well as fuel?
Have they sorted the problem with the turbo over spinning?
I ask because i'm looking at getting the kit but no plans on modifying it unless it's unsafe out of the box. The only thing i would plan on doing is having it re-mapped. Can the e-manage ultimate control ignition with the harness Greddy provides or would i have to look into other forms of engine management?

Hi Brettus. I know how important is is to do your own research, and i think i have done quite a bit on the renesis engine, although i know there is always a lot more to learn. I only asked about the greddy kits problems being resolved because i haven't actually found anything about it. I know that there are fixes for it, i was just wondering if greddy has done anything about it. I also ask about the e-manage ultimate controlling ignition, because if it doesn't, then i was going to go with the AP, although i might even go with the AP anyway because i know the EMU isn't the greatest out there.

I actually read all 16 pages(was actually a good read to be honest), but I have a question myself. Is there anything you have to do to the engine before you can add a turbo to it? Can the engine handle a greddy turbo stock? Sorry if I worded this weird.

1. What is included?
2. What additional items are recommended?
3. What additional items are nice to have?
4. What problems have people experienced? What are the probable causes and remedies?
The manifold ofen develops cracks, especially if the boost level is elevated above the preset target. The intercooler blocks air flow to the radiator, which can cause overheating in warmer climates. Boost control can be problematic because the wasegate flap is small as is the actuator. The gasket between the turbo and the discharge elbow is often distored. The oil drain is problematic in that it is very difficult to install it correctly, causing leaks.
5. What has been done to the eManage to make it work with our cars? How many versions and when were they released?
6. Can't you reprogram the eManage map?
7. What software do you need to use to load/tune maps?
8. What are the different maps available? What do they do and how were they changed from previous versions?

Ultimately (no pun intended), the e-Manage was not a particularly effective way to control the PCM, especially if the kit was modified in any manner.
There are far better solutions available today then there were 6 ears ago.
9. What's a typical install time?
10. What are typical installation labor rates?
11. What else should I know about this kit or turbos in general?
12. What type of turbo does the kit use?
13. How much boost does it provide?
14. Will my gas mileage be effected by the turbo?
15. How much boost can the base kit handle?
16. Will adding a turbo affect the long term reliability of the car?
17. Do I need to build up the internals of the engine to handle the boost?
18. What air/fuel ratios does the kit run?
19.What is the safest/most reliable afr that gets the best HP?
20. What octane fuel is recommended with forced induction?
21. Can I use a high flow cat or straight pipe with forced induction?
22. Will forced induction void my vehicle's factory warranty?

Thank you sir!! Searching through these threads is murder. Brettus, RG posted those questions in the OP but only a couple were ever answered. I just found it odd to have a FAQ and the questions posted years ago but little answers. I am surprised it took this long for someone to ask

sorry for bumping an old thread, just couldn't find answers anywhere. Will this turbo kit work on a 2011 rx8? I thought it was a carry-over model of the 2010 but I read somewhere that the ECU has been changed therefore can no longer take the turbo?

There is no tuning solution available for a 2011 that is readily available. No, this kit will not work out of the box on a series II RX-8.
However, with enough money a stand alone is always a solution.

You cannot "reprogram" the existing MAP because it is password locked. However, you can replace it outright with one of the above-mentioned MAPs.
You need the Greddy Support Tool and its included cable which is NOT a regular serial to USB cable.
