in January greddy will be coming out with a turbo kit for the integra ls/rs/gs. i saving my money for ether the jrsc or the greddy turbo kit. if i get the jrsc i will be running at 6psi but if i get the greddy turbo kit it will be running at 8-9psi. my question is what would you get the greddy kit or the jrsc?
Thanks for all your help.....

 

If I were you and had a B18B motor... I'd get the Greddy Turbo.

I bet people are gonna chime in and yell at you and tell you get the DRAG or the FMAX turbo kits now... hahhahaa.

 

the reason why i want greddy's turbo kit is beacuse i was told by my dealer that it was an easy install....

 

Drag 3

 

what does a drag 3 cost?

 

its actually a lil tougher if you dont have electronics knowledge to splice and solder the blue box

 

drag3-complete turbo kit with intercooler,inline fuel pump,fmu,BOV,etc. from importparts.com for 3200 plus extras check the thread in the f/i forum

greddy-turbo kit WITHOUT intercooler or BOV list price is around 3k

 

greddy is easier install cause of the stuff that you DONT get.
with greddy you have to add intercooler and BOV and your price is in the ball park of a drag3/w extras.

 

what kind of hp gain's will i get out of drag3? and what kind of 1/4 times will i get?

 

I ran a 13.6 @ 102 two weeks ago on my 17" DTM's wrapped with nankang NS-1(anyone heard of these before? they work great!) , however I have more then just the drag 3. That run was at 7psi btw.

edit: let me also add this was on the stock clutch, which I know will start slippin soon if I do any more hard launches.

No JRSC bashers have chimed in yet. I'm amazed.

Greddy's turbo kit will give you more of an OEM-like installation, minus the blowoff valve and intercooler, which are two components that aren't absolutely necessary, but highly recommended. The turbo is smaller than DRAG's, so it is more suitable for a fast street-car than a 1/4mi dragster.

DRAG's kit is less OEM-like due to its method of fuel control. However, it includes the BOV and intercooler. If you keep a low level of boost, everything will work together nicely without having to buy extra parts.

 

I read in the Forced Induction Board that a guy with a JRSC LS ran a 15.2 No one seemed amazed by his times, in a good or bad way, so I'm guessing those are expected times out of an supercharged LS.

 

well, everybody has their own opinion and goals...it's important to specify your future goals for your car, that way you can narrow down the things you need...

 

is the drag3 an easy install, like could i do it myself or do i have to bring it to a shop?

 

has anyone installed one?

 

All kits should be just as involved. It takes time. The jrsc might be installed faster, but it is very cramped..

 

Muhahahahahahahaha!!!! Well since you complained.


I hate the Fuggin JRSC, piece of crap roots type overheating non-intercooled detonating 30 whp giving pos.

 

if i order the drag3 kit, is there anything i'm going to need? or is everything Supplied?

and i want to thank all of you that helped with this topic....

 

does anyone know how much hp increase the drag3 will give? According to greddy with the intercooler their kit will go from 168hp to 270hp.

It says 240 @ the wheels, doesent make **** until 6500 rpms though.

Does anyone know if any of these turbo kits are smog legal in California?

 

With an LS motor, a turbo makes a better affect than a JSC.

 

if power is only made at 6500 rpm's then i have no use for it. my red line is at 6800-6900 rpm's. or is there any other way around it?

 

JRSC install fairly simple,
with a greddy turbo kit its also not that hard also, since you don't need the intercooler...but it all depends...if you like in CA...smog regulations...
greddy smaller turbine, faster spool up...but what most people forget to mention is that the freaking drag turbo manifold cracks too often....can't really handle the boost

 

freaking drag turbo manifold cracks too often !!!!!!

how often does the manifold crack?
