GReddy Turbo System

Price Paid:  $5100.00 from SGP Racing (Houston)

Year / Model Reviewed:
2003 Nissan/350Z

Strengths:
Big power, big torque. No blown belts typically seen with superchargers

Weaknesses:
running out of gas! I have nothing bad to say about the Greddy twin turbo kit for the 350Z. It's just straight up fast right out of the box

Summary:
I went from a Procharger to a Greddy twin turbo and man what a difference! Stomp on the gas at 3K rpm with a supercharger and you get nothing. Do the same with the twin turbo and get into full boost by 3200 rpm! The biggest difference is that now I don't need NOS at all. I"m putting down over 525 at the wheels at 5200rpm and 525rwtq at just 3200rpm's. After having now both the supercharger and turbo I'd never go back to a supercharger ever again. But....don't just buy the kit and expect the Greddy Emange to do all the tuning for you. You have to get it tuned, I recommend SGP Racing in Houston TX. It's not cheap but nothing good ever is.

2000 Honda Civic EX (automatic)

Strengths:
Best bang for your buck. Buy a boost controller to get more power. But be careful!

Weaknesses:
Does not come with these items: intercooler, BOV, turbo timer, boost gauge. Add the price of these items to the turbo kit and that'll be closer to the real money you'll be spending. You'll also want to get a bigger exhaust and testpipe or hiflow cat. Horsepower aint cheap!

Summary:
I love this turbo kit. Can really feel the difference at only 5.5 psi of boost. Easy installation... everything is bolt on. Only welding needed is to get the BOV flange on to the charge pipe. Also need to drill holes in to your oil pan. But that's easy too.

Went the intake/header/exhaust route. What a waste of money.

Strengths:
Quick spool, much more torque, high quality parts, fitment, driving=fun

Weaknesses:
BAD directions

Summary:
Excellent for the street, lots of usable power, very quick to spool. Smooth power curve due to the e-manage fmu included in the kit. I recommend the installation of the GReddy intercooler as well. Overall has made the car lots more fun to drive, not to mention suprising the hell out of most people! Regardless of what people say this kit is a "bolt on" for the most part for 96-00 civics, but is not advertised as such due to emissions and lack of CARB approval on OBD2 vehicles.

Summary:
i purcahsed the greddy turbo kit used from my friend. It took a while to install( about 9-10 hours ) but man it was worth the wait. There was a big notice in hp gains. I was only running 10 psi and my wheels would not stop screaming until the middle of third gear!!! very powerful. Would recommend to anyone how wants thier car to gain hp instantly.

Strengths:
Fit and finish of the kit is almost OEM. Very minimal lag. Perfect for the street. Best intercooler i've ever had, it keeps the pipes ice cold even under heavy boost.

Weaknesses:
Definitely need a BOV. The turbo surges like crazy without one. Lacks a bit of power in the top end. Must purchase smaller battery in order to fit intercooler piping.

Summary:
The kit defenitely gives the car an extra boost in power, more than what an intake header, and exhaust can give. Lag is very minimal, it pulls hard from 2000rpm to about 4000rpm but power levels off a bit until vtec kicks in, then pulls hard until redline. Because of the size of turbo, top end power is limited. An extra few psi would make the kit more desirable to the one's looking for something that will perform on the street as well as the track.

Drag Gen.III on 2000 civic si. The GReddy kit produces more power down low in the revs, but can't touch the power the T3/T4 makes up top.
