Hey, ive searched this up already and couldnt find what im asking.

Was looking at GReddy turbo kit for the GSR.
I want a very reliable daily driver with some nice boost. Leaving Internals/Head Stock B18C1. doing Catback first and maybe a AEM FPR/FR or new clutch/flywheel to help for the turbo later. Wondering how reliable the kit is, what power gains to expect and what 1/4 times to expect.

Im aiming for 200-230 whp and consistent mid 14s or lower on street tires. I think the kit would easily do that and still be very reliable, with the proper fuel management and a proper tune of course. I like this kit because from what i know its a quick response small turbo that doesnt lag much, makes good power and is reliable. I know it doesnt make nearly as much as other kits but i think it would make enough power for my needs. How much would this kit cost me with the install and tuning? i think to do this id need 5-7.5K . SUGGESTIONS PLEASE!!!

 

Do it!

 

i have a greddy kit on a gsr with 150k miles on it 15k with the turbo i dyno out at 234hp and 182 pounds of tq. with 440 injectors and a small apex ws 2.36 exhaust i will be putting in cp 9-1 pistons and egale rods and turning up the boost oh yeah that 230 was on 7.8 pounds of boost.

 

also you may dip in the 13s in the q/m i was at 13.8 but have not been able to get there since but i also dont go to the track often.

 

What tires was that 13.8 on?
How is your car for everyday driving?
Is the kit worth all the money and trouble?
Does the turbo spool up quick and at low rpms?
Do you have good throttle response?

I just bought my 96 GSR a month ago with 167,00km on it, bone stock and in great shape. I love it and its got nice power/handling. Im garaging it, with no Ins., until april or may because of our shitty winters up here and i need to save more money and also get my license, lol.
Im undecided on if i want to go all motor or get a turbo kit. In the next year i plan to get some basic bolt ons such as GReddy EVO2 Cat back, some better rims and tires( was thinking 17" Rota subzeros w 205/40/17 tires), new clutch and flywheel, GC coil overs w new shocks. These are some of the things im considering to buy. I am going to buy the EVO2 for sure and might get a AEM CAI, but it would be a waste if i went all motor or turbo. But its cheap anyways.
Thnxs for the help!

 

Well, I can only speak of the b16 (what I have). I've pulled numerous mid 13 second runs and a few 13.3's @10psi. Of course, it wasn't a stock greddy kit though. Uberdata, 3" DP, 3" catback (no cat), BFG 225/50/15's. The greddy kit will definately get you the mid 14's...I was running 13.8's @ 6.5psi. It's extremely realiable...I've got over 105K on the clock right now and motor looks like it just came out of the factory.

 

that would be a wate to spend 5-7k to only do mid 14's. If that's all your after, stay NA.
Matter of fact, before buying a single power mod, learn how to drive the car when and optimize your suspension/tires for drag racing. With a 2 second 60', you should be able to go 14s stock.

 

Thanks, is that in a Teg with full interior?
I was saying mid 14s to be conservative, my goal is low 14s - high 13s on street tires with full iterior. The ways i think i could get this are with the GReddy turbo kit, or SK2 STG1 cams/valvetrain/bolt ons, or with the JRSC kit. I would like to get the turbo most then stay NA, but what ever is the most cost effective is what i would probaly end up with . It must stay very reliable and be a great daily driver as well.

I can drive the car pretty good now, but i do still have a lot to learn because im a new driver. Never been to the track, but occaionally take my 96 GSR for short bursts on the street. Just got the car last month. Don't have the car Insured or plated and i am in the proces of getting my full license. Going NA isn't cheap either. The SK2 stg1 cams are 1G just for the cams, and then i would need SK2 valvetrain, Type R LMAs,FPR, FMU/ECU,a good dyno tune and that is on top of basic bolt ons (I/H/E). I know i could hit mid 14s easy NA on some street drag tires and some basic bolt ons, but i don't want a drag car. I still want to have the great handling/power band that tegs have and then have some surprising pick up for an Integra. I also do not plan on touching the bottom end. I don't plan on doing anything to my car over the next year or so ,except for AEM CAI, GReddy EVO2, suspension, and some lightweight rims with tires.. Im gonna save up my money for now. I am researching what route would be best for my goals. Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.

 

the teg has full inter. and is on 205 50 15 tire size

 

I say go for it.

I also only have experience w/ the B16 kit, but its basically the exact same thing. I've had my kit on for almost 2 yrs and not one single problem w/ the kit since. For the majority of the time i was running the blue box, only recently had I switched to Hondata. On Hondata, I made 235whp 190ft/lbs @ 7.5 psi on a stock greddy kit & motor, Apexi N1, test pipe, hondata & 550cc injectors.

 

they key in reliability would be and in no particular order

1. proper installation of aftermarket parts, and checking on bolts/clamps, oil lines every now and then.
2. maintanance, replacing ignition components (i replace spark plugs every oil change)/filters/fluids. running thick enough oil for temps you're going to encounter. not running out of fluids if you have leaks/burning
3. fuel/ignition managment. i had great results with hondata, it can be tuned and run just fine for daily driving. &lt;-- this one is very important because it doesn't take long to do damage from detonation.. so some standalone, larger injectors and intank fuel pump
4. gauges are another precaution, oil pressure, boost, if you have peak-n-hold its even better, oil temps, even narroband a/f meter will tell if you theres major trouble, catch can helps too when installed properly
5. hp goal, because more hp means more wear and shorter life, so 200-230 can be very reliable
6. have some money for rebuild as in backup plan, or have a beater or both, otherwise, dont boost.

 

hell yeah, go for it. i have a greddy kit for my lude and i've had it for about 2 years now. nothing wrong with it. spools really fast. making 280@10 psi. make sure you get hondata for it and have it tuned all at once. i wouldn't run very long with the blue box. it is really rich. also you shouldn't be spending anything over 5500. if you car is stock i'd get this in this order.

greddy kit- 2200
greddy intercooler- 600
greddy type s or rs bov (depending how loud you want it)- 160
turbo timer -100
hondata- 800
exhaust- 500
exedy clutch and fidanza flywheel- 500
(2 for the front)yokohama parada spec 2 tires- 180

all this equals 5040 give or take a couple hundred for tax and shipping. this will easily get you in the high 13's. if you have a proplem finding prices like the one's i stated IM me and i'll help you. most of the sponsors on this board can meet or beat these prices.

 

check out the xs-engineering kit...kind of like the geddy kit on steroids.....and comes with real fuel management...not a blue box or fmu
just got mine and its getting dropped in when the winters over here in nj

Ive only had my greddy kit on for 1900 miles now but i really like it. I wasnt lookin for all of the power like the other kits like yourself so thats why i decided on the greddy, plus i didnt want to pay for the install either. My friend and i put the whole kit on with the type 31 intercooler in 6 hours. As far as 1/4 times with my 98 gsr with the kit and little 2" downpipe that came with the kit and my stock cat and greddy evo cat-back i ran a 13.7 on falken azenis with 2.1(60 ft.). I now have a 3" downpipe and test pipe and 3" kteller piping with n1 muffler waiting in my room to be put on so this should help. Anyway I hope this answered some of your questions...

 

Thanks VtecDC2, some useful info. I think i will do the GReddy kit at some point in time, sounds great and i think it will live up to what i expect it to. I also see Hondata as a must, so id get the S200 with some of the needed options on it.

I live in Canada so this kit with all needed parts, tuning, installation would cost me around 8000, give or take a couple hundred dollars. Its also safe to have more money than needed when going boost. I think i might do a JDM Type R front end Conversion before serious engine stuff. I could get all the parts for 3000. I would add 1000 to that price for any unexpected parts needed/installation and paint. As we all know these things are projects in progress, so im going to have to see how things go and how the moneys coming, but i am for sure going to do 1 major upgrade to my car.
All the info/suggestions have been really helpful, thxs!!

 

Thxs for the help. I've decided if im going to do anything big under the hood it will be the GReddy kit. I'm gonna get the EVO2 exhaust first, then save for the turbo. You guys have helped me out a lot, thxs.

 

Hey vtecgsr98, how do you like your EVO2 Cat Back Exhaust?

 

kits are a waste go custom you will spend less and have a way nicer setup

 

don`t waste money make sure you get a good 3" exhaust

you're going need more than 5k.....you forgot gauges/pods.....boost controller if you want power.....tunning.....and the best of all.......labor when something goes wrong especially oil leaks. good luck with your project.

 

Hey Betncort, The greddy evo i have on right now is just the first evo not the evo 2. If your going to be lookin for a catback im gonna be selling if as soon as i get me 3" stuff put on. Its only 6 months and was bought brand new....

 

Can u post some pics on here of it on ur car?

no, they are not a waste. I like mine because it's carb exempt and i like it to stay that way. I don't don't want to have to lie with a fake carb number if i get pulled over.
