Hey, I gotta question about the Greddy turbo kit for GSRs. Greddy lists the kit only for the 96-99 gsr models, and they dont have one for the 00-01(at least i havent seen one, correct me if im wrong). I just wanted to know if the 96-99 kit would bolt right up to my 2000 Gsr if i was to get one. I want to know if everything will fit correctly and if it will be compatible with my ecu.

Second, I was thinking about getting a Greddy evo 2 to go along with it. I Know they have an Evo2 for the 94-99 models and the 00-01 models. I was wondering if I were to get the Greddy turbo kit (96-99), would I need to get the 94-99 Evo2 exhaust or could I still use the 00-01 Evo2. Thanks in advance.

*Also, can anyone post a pic of their Greddy evo on their 98+ gsr? I would like to see how it looks, thanks

 

no u cannot use a greddy kit on ur 00-01 unless you get the new kit that comes with e-manage and also ur year gsr cat is differant so look for the downpipe not matching up aswell...if u get a kit with the "little blue box" then dont count on it it only werks on obd2a not obd2b

 

I have it on my 01 GSR. You just gotta drive it to a muffler shop after you install it and have them make an exension, so the downpipe and the cat meet up. It'll run with the blue box too, just find a pin out of an OBDII ECU and cross reference it to the instructions.
I upgraded to a Hondata S200B and P28, but it ran fine with the blue box.

 

Thanks for the info. I think the new kits come with an E-manage instead of the "little blue box" so it shouldnt be too different. I am planning on getting the kit this spring/summer, so hopefully they might start advertising the kit as being compatible with the 00-01. So as long as I get the kit with the E-manage it should work?

Also, with the Greddy evo 2 exhaust, instead of me buying the 00-01 catback, would it work if i just bout a 94-99 evo 2 instead?

Ps. Is this kit a true "bolt on" kit and bolt rite into place, or will i eventually need to get parts fabricated? And with the E-manage, will I be able to tune that up myself or do i need a professional tuner?

Thanks again for the help

 

The only fabriction is tapping the oil pan. You just take the oil pan to a machine or muffler shop and have them weld on the oil return flange. The instructions say you can secure the flange with only sealant, but I'd get it welded personally. Other than that its definitely a bolt on. Its basically installing a header and an intake,with a few extra pipes. If you give yourself a day or two you'll be good.

 

Thas cool that its all bolt on, what about the Evo 2 exhaust? Since the turbo kit is made for a 96-99, would i need to get an Evo 2 for a 94-99 Gsr or can i still get the 00-01 Evo 2 exhaust? My car is a 2000 Gsr, I just wanna make sure everything will work out right. Also, how is the kit, what do you think about it (good, bad, problems, opinions?). Thanks again for the help

 

i'd get the 00-01 evo2, and get the downpipe modified. its not hard, i had a greddy gsr kit on a 00 si just take it to a muffler shop

 

Would the 94-99 Greddy evo 2 fit better on the 96-99 greddy turbo kit, considering I have a 2000 gsr? Would the 94-99 evo 2 catback work on my car, and not require any extra piping fabrication by a muffler shop? Or is it mandatory that I have a 00-01 Evo 2 and get it extended by a muffler shop?

Also, is it true/definite that the new greddy turbo kits come with an E-manage system instead of the old "little blue box"?

 

Not all greddy kits come with the e-manage. Just some of the new revisions do. If you want to use the 96-99 kit you will have to use the 94-99 exhause. The difference is in the down pipe length. With the rest of the exhaust for the 94-99 you will have no problem. If you use the 00-01 exhaust you will need to modify the down pipe.

 

Cool, so if I end up going with the Greddy turbo kit(96-99) for a GSR, I would basically have to do a 94-99 exhaust convertion(get a 94-99 greddy evo2) and get the kit with a greddy e-manage and everything would work perfect? Thanks

Also, for the people with the greddy turbo kit on their gsr, how is the kit overall? Do you get any check engine lights, and can you still pass an inspection?

 

Do you guys even know if there is? or if theres a turbo kit coming out for the 00-01 GSR?

 

I dont kno if they are releasing a 00-01 kit, hopefully they do, but right now they dont have one.

 

i wish they did..

 

I don't see them having any plans for an 01 kit. I've had mines now for 7 months and I love it more than words can describe. Its a whole different car after the install. I'm making 208HP and about 190 lbs/torque to the wheels, and I have a stock exhaust. Its definitly a cool kit.
Keep in mind though the way the car ran with the blue box doesn't even compare to how it runs with Hondata. So that should be your first upgrade if you do get the kit.
I/M me if you have any more questions.

 

how many lbs of boost are you pushing, and what type of computer management are you running, hondata s100 or s200. Also, do you have a 1/4 mile time w/ that? Also, what about a greddy e-manage, would that work instead?

 

 

I'm only pushing 8 lbs. till I get bigger injectors. I run the Hondata S200B with a OBD I P28 ECU. I'm positive my numbers would've been higher if I had an exhaust. I'll be back in the dyno after my tax return with bigger injectors, a high flow cat, and a Kteller cat back exhaust. I think I'll get around 230WHP. The car's pretty damn quick with just 208WHP, can't imagine 230
I giggle like a school girl every time I hear that blow off.

 

I live in new york and they do a obd2 scan, so I cant get an obd1 p72 ecu. I cannot use hondata or uberdata unless i have the obd1, which i cant get. The only way that i can think of to tune my car with a turbo kit would be to use the greddy emanage. I know alotta ppl prefer hondata and uberdata above it, but I cant get them on my 2000 gsr ecu. So I was wondering if greddy emanage is really as bad as people say it is, or is it just that people strongly prefer hondata/uberdata. As long as the emanage works well and will keep the car running strong, i dont mind. I would definately go with hondata/uberdata if NY wasnt so strict on emissions...i dont want to fail inspection because the ecus dont match up w/ the year of my car. For turbo kits, im thinking of the greddy or the rev hard kit.

so, does anyone have any positive reviews on the greddy emanage instead of referring me to hondata/uberdata? Thanks for the help

 

Bump, I also want to know on reviews for emanage. Cali is supposedly going to do obd2 scans on 00 and newer cars starting this year.

 

All you gotta do is run the blue box when its time for the inspect. Only take 10 minutes to swap. Blue box will work with your OBD II, and pass smog.

 

i thought the greddy "blue box" doesnt work with 00+ GSRs. I was thinking of just getting an emanage instead, that should pass inspection, rite? If i go turbo, ill go for teh whole GSR greddy turbo kit + FMIC, Greddy evo 2, and Greddy emanage. I dont want to have to swap ecus, or fuel management for inspections unless I really needed to. I doubt the greddy emanage would shorten the life of my motor, rite?

hondata is always better. The blue box will work with 00-01 gsr the wiring is a little different. The downpipe probably will not fit either. Greddy kit is NOT smog legal with the intercooler installed IIRC.

 

Thanks for the info. If i do go for the kit, im gonna go for the emanage anyway, so hopefully i wont have a problem with the install. I think everything will work, downpipe and all, but i would need to get a 94-99 catback bc the downpipe is meant for the 96-99 GSRs. Other than that, everything should fit. Does anyone know if i will have any problems with the O2 sensors on the exhaust system? I heard that the 00 GSR has a different O2 setup than the 94-99 GSRs. If so, what would i need to do to correct the problem?

isnt the fmic legal if you get a greddy IC as well? doesnt it come with carb eo plaqus w/ eo #'s?
