i just did a search in recent topics and archives and didnt find what i was looking for. i have a y2k itr and i think i want a turbo kit. i have had two turbo eclipses and this is my second itr. i used many greddy and apexi parts on my two eclipses. i am very happy with their fit and quality. i have had first hand experience with drag turbo kits and think the quality and fit could be a lot better. i would like to go with the greddy kit because of the quality of their product. which kit should i use? the gsr kit or si kit. all out power is not what i am looking for, i am looking for quality and fitment. power comes with a boost controller and fuel enrichment. thanks for anyones time on this subject.

 

Dont get a greddy kit,. piece together a turbo kit of pieces that suit your need. You will save $ and have a turbo kit/specs that you want. My suggestion post this in FI forum and you will get alot better response. There are quite a few succesful Turbo R's on the board. High compression/tuned, short geared tranny/lsd, high rev limit, I love turbo R's, but could never afford one.

greddy kit is internaly wastegated + small turbo, i'd recommend t3/t4 for itr..

here's an idea:

if you can find some used intercooler piping for ls/itr, i'd go for drag piping, you will need to modify pretty much every charge piping where it connects to compressor, at least get drag upper charge pipe, all other can be fabricated..
- then your choice of turbo (t3/t4), bov, tial wastegate.
- if you get inline pro manifold, you could use, revhard downpipe. or you could use maxrev manifold with their downpipe - i've heard some complaints about fitment of downpipe, but that dowpipe is more complete than revhard.
- next, return/send lines - dont go cheap on that one, get stainless steel return/send.. search through FI, several places offer that or you can make your own.
- you'll also need to replace passenger radiator - most likely you'll have clearance problem with stock
- air filter with diy or drag intake
- oil catch can

- now, important part, i highly recommend good fuel managment, in my case hondata

for hondata: you'll need obd1 ecu chipped for hondata, hondata s200b, obd2-1 harness, larger injectors, high pressure intank fuel pump, possibly f.p.r.

for aem: same stuff except you won't need to convert to obd1

can't think of much else right now..
