So I just got my car back from getting my greddy turbo installed on my gsr 2000 and I wasn't very impressed with its performance. The mechanic who installed it said the reason it wasnt producing enough power is because i needed to get an aftermarket exhaust and an intercooler. I thought if you bolt on a turbo you should at least gain 50 hp at stock boost. Am I wrong?

Turbo's like to breath...
get yourself a good exhaust and you'll see a world of difference.

You dont have an intercooler?? Please get one! You will see a big difference after a 3" exhaust and an intercooler is installed.

The staff of Honda-Tech.com has become aware that you, oh timid newbie, may be wary of posting your musings on our little corner of the Internet. But, young fragile newbie, we want to make you feel welcome and answer your questions. To ease the process we suggest you heed the following advice:
First, research our topics to see if your question has already been answered. The site is equipped with a search function that allows you to browse past discussions. Not only might you find an answer to your question, you will also find a great archive of accumulated knowledge that you may wish to read at any time.

Be patient. The simplest questions are often answered last. Many people here have been on Internet discussion boards for quite some time and are reluctant to draft answers to questions that they may have posted several times before. Most all questions receive at least some sort of response by the end of each day.

Most importantly, be clear and objective. State the specifics of your situation, as each situation demands a different answer. List your modifications, your intended purpose for the car, and specifically what characteristics you would like to change. The more information you can give us, the better answer you will receive.

If you have a question, make sure it’s a question. Most victims of flame wars post answers in the forms of questions. They have their mind made up, they are not impartial, and all too often they have not done their own research.

Discussions are sometimes better than answers. If you don’t feel as though you are 100% sure of your answer, let your uncertainty be known or don’t answer at all. You will not be flamed for posting your thoughts, theories, opinions, or even wild guesses as long as you don’t represent them as fact. You’ll have done no wrong by making an incorrect assumption as long as you remain open to its discussion and dissection. Keep in mind there is probably someone else out there that can provide a 100% answer.

Try not to **** off the big meany-head Administrators or Moderators.


Enjoy yourself.

I have a question for you. Sinse your 2000 GSR is OBD ( 2½ or 3,) not sure
Did you plug the FCU ( blue box) supplied with the Greddy kit?

Andrew 825SM

Yea I used the blue box that was supplied with the kit, but the shop had to do some rewiring and also had to flash my OBD in order to make it compatible.
