Random GReddy SEMA pics

Here are a few shots I took in the GReddy booth at SEMA of the RX turbo kit. They say it drops right in, no problems...

I did notice the extra oil cooler, but didn't notice the filter relocation. I wonder if they are going to be coming out with that, or are trying to tell us something.

the really wierd thing is that still use the tee fitting for the turbo oil supply. They could have added a nice port to that filter relocation kit. Also, I don't see any advantage to moving the filter. I think they must have done that to make room for the fitting that taps for the cooler. Maybe the filter was too high after they added that spacer and there was interference with the firewall. It is tight in there...

The silicone hose couplers look to be better quality on there display model. Also, the pipes are polished up much nicer then they actually come.

No shizzle! I have one of the earlier kits, but I was wondering if they ship that way now!

Flyboi: I added a third oil cooler. I don't think it can hurt. With all the questions about hot climates and oil breakdown, I didn't want to take chances. Plus, the extra 1.25qts of oil will help keep the oil in good condition. Maybe GReddy is just advertising their wares, but maybe they think oil cooling is a fine idea, too.

Better oil and coolant cooling are always good mods to consider when increasing the power output of an engine.

Increased reliability and reduced temps are your friend!

Where did you mount the 3rd oil cooler?

Looks much different than I imagined it, but after seeing it, I understand how it could fit. Thanks Adrian.
