Bullshit....


GReddy is about the best you will get for the money. I had a GReddy kit on my Eclipse when I bought it. Held boost very well, produced boost all the way up past 2800.And the build wuality is uncomparable. Welds are seamless. Quality build materials. Plus you have EManage, which is the best for my car in particular over anything. But don't get it twisted, I will be going with KPro when I swap a boosted k24a2 frankenstein in mine.

Dont get me wrong, I upgraded to the HKS T04Z when it came out, simply because I needed a larger turbo when I troked my motor and added stage 4 turbo cams. HKS is good as well. I'm just partial to GReddy.

lol, you can call greddy junk if you want, but dont say that cybernation is better :/

full-race ftw

 

Greddy is far from a piece of crap, its actually an almost perfect fit, and requires few minor modifications to work perfectly day in day out. The major one being the cheap *** oil lines.

I also completely disagree that HKS is a good kit. There is a major problem that people have been having w/ the cheap *** internal gate. It creeps at around 12 psi and needs modification to the actuator arm to work even decenlty. Not what I would expect from a 4000+ dollar kit. Not to mention the log cast iron manifold that we all know is not efficient.

For that price range why would you not go w/ Full Race. Quality welds, equal length manifolds, Tial parts, etc. Proven time and time again.

And don't even bother with Cybernation, I could go on and on about them.

Depending on your power goals, Greddy should be perfect. If you want more power than low 300's, go Full Race, Custom, or wait for Peakboost to release their kit.

 

greddy is not junk but by far not the best kit on the market. I don't think Greddy has the potential as other kits out there as well, but to each, his own. IMO, piece out a kit. Find a great turbo, Something with an A/r .60 or bigger for the K20a3, Tial wastegate, you can find IC piping and Intercoolers on Ebay and they are just fine, find a decent turbo manifold or have Full Race make you one, as well as a downpipe. You should spend about $2,500-$3,000 on a decent setup. Don't forget injectors and some sort of managment. Kpro is awesome and so is Hondata.

I will never buy a Turbo Manifold from an Ebay store ever again. If you plan on purchasing a kit like that, be prepared to take that Turbo manifold off every weekend to have it rewelded. Make sure you have a net underneath ur wastegate, cuz it will fall off and you'll prolly end up running it over a few times too

 

ok well since you guys made decent points i will revise what i said ,they arent junk, i mean yes they can make some power and its easy to install and fits fine, but its not the highest power maker in the turbo kit industry.if i was gonna go turbo i wouldnt do it though. i would probably make a custom kit like the fellow before me was mentioning.but hey give me a nicely built head ,k-pro, and a 75-shot and that will suffice

 

hey thanks guys for the responses. ive seen some good numbers posted for the greddy kit. i may look into a custom kit tho if i could get everything for around 2500-3000.

 

I have a Complete Full-Race Stage 1 Turbo Kit for sale if interested ... see link below!

damn, nice *** kit man. How much do one of those turbo manifolds run?

 

Full-Race K-Series Turbo Manifolds will run you about 1300-1400 dollars ... amazing quality ... it is really a work of art ... been sitting above the fireplace

 

the Rsx greddy kit is made with a STOCK k20 in mind, so they werent aiming to be the highest horsepower kit. On top of that, do you really think you can hook up anything past 300whp on the streets comfortably? Think about all the stop signs and the red lights and the traffic you have to stop at, its not going to feel like your NA rsx. Dont get me wrong, people do drive 300+whp honda on the street, but Iv Heard ALOT of people say that anything past 300whp on a fwd honda is too much for a daily driven street car. On top of that you dont even have LSD. Sure some people will sacrafice drivability for power, but its not worth it unless you want to go and buy a LSD, get getter tires, traction bar, and clutch
