I can get a pretty good deal on one, but I keep hearing of the problems people are having with the e-manage and it scares me a bit.
Also, the gains from this turbo kit aren't known yet. Greddy says 50-60hp, but the people that have it already say it seems slower than 190whp(that's what some had before). I know for a fact that it's the lack of cold air since they're not running with intercooler and the messed up e-manage.
Is this worth it? Let's say if it's 50hp gain. It will only put me at around 220whp.
Now I already have 196. But with the intercooler we would see more power for sure.
Let me hear what you guys think

 

It seems that you have spent a good deal of money on bolt-ons and are running good numbers. I wouldnt waste money to get a turbo if i was you. I would continue to build a NA setup or consider supercharging rather than turbo. This way you dont have sell your intake and header.

Greddy kits are nice. I used to have one on my 2000 EX. The people having problems with emanage dont know how to operate the unit. User error is my best guess.

 

I would wait and see what power it actually makes after all the problems are fixed

 

Stay NA and go for the Hytech kit or Toda. Just my .02.

 

i say stay N/A too, ive seen a friend of mine's rsx-s and im not a fan of how the turbo setup would be, i think u'd be better off N/A, ure already putting down some nice numbers

I've read that the blue boxes that come with the greddy kit for civics and integras to control the tuning of everything don't work too well so it's likely that no matter which kit you get you will need some sort of high quality engine management such as hondata or the AEM system(forgot what it's called)

 

WTF are you talking about? we don't know how to use the Greddy e-management? we didn't set the dial to E when it should really be set on D. We didn't mix up the color code on the ecu wiring. Greddy FUCKED UP, not us.......

 

I made up my mind. I'm staying N/a. Thanks guys for the responses. I'm getting dc5-r cams or toda cams + springs wiht hondata k20 flash. After that I might get the Dc5-r intake manifold. I'll be happy with 220whp N/A. Some greddy turbo RSX-S's wont even make that much more over that.

 

Greddy kits are next to useless.

 

Word. GReddy kits ARE next to useless, glad to hear ure staying NA!
