Can I really safely run a greddy turbo kit for the 99-00 si on my 00si on stock internals safely???? BTW this is my daily driver?

Is the greddy turbo really that good? Compared to like the Drag and the Garretts? I'm talkin about Boost Wise, and Reliability wise..?

 

[DOHCterCivic]

The Greddy kit is nice - well made and supported by lots of good R&D. Kit quality aside, you should have NO problems running the kit on your stock internals, as long as you keep the boost under control. You get everything you need to run well and run reliably with the Greddy kit. IIRC, the boost level is set at 6psi which is enough to be fun, but not so much that you'll have to go build your engine.

It is safe to run on stock internals, just don't turn up the boost past around 7 or 8 lbs then who knows what could happen.

Hey i have an Si and it runs safely with the GReddy kit and internals. I have it set for 6.5psi but i can increase it to 8 which makes the car feel REAL fast. sometimes though when i set it at 8 it reaches 9.5 at times but it stays around 8 & 8.5 most of the time. I just recently ordered a clutch and some spark plugs and wires. So now it should really be crazy.

!Holla!

Ok thanks everyone....6-7 pounds is plenty for me. I just want some extra power. Once it gets a little bit closer I will post back with some more questions...
Thanks

If your fuel and spark is tuned well, you can boost more than 15psi and still be fine. Stock B-series motors can make over 350hp with the right tuning. Don't even worry about the low boost GReddy kit, you'll be fine.

 

[PSIKOTICsi]

tuning and fuel are a key to runnin more boost........greddy makes a very great kit that supports up to 15lbs of boost(its street legal too)

 

[TCivicEX]

i am running 7 lbs of boost in my car. As what Matt3t4 said. Proper tuning will do the trick. Just make sure that you have an upgraded fuel and ignition setup.

I have the GReddy kit on my Si..everything stock pretty much...it's fun. Plus, my car is a daily driver...

 

[Mr Sleeper]

Not running stock internals with my d16y8 anymore but I remember when I was, proper tuning, ample spark and fuel did the trick. 12 psi and was running high 13's low 14's with gutted interior 195-55-15 size Kumho supra tires. Now pushing 15 psi daily because gas can get expensive.

how much hp/tq

how much hp/tq have u guys pulled from the greddy turbo because i was thinking of the same kit for my SI.

 

[Rx7T2Boi]

hey matt your back!!!! my friend FINALLY got the stuff to build his accord and were thinking of maybe 18psi on the track with pistons and rods..... can the stock sleeves handle if they can handle the much how much can they take tops

 

[blueSI]

gas gas gas

what kind of mileage you getting , does the kit affect the mileage

 

[Rx7T2Boi]

maybe a 25% decrease when we drove it hard maybe a lil more but in street driving we still got like 18-23mpg freeway got 25

thats an awful lot of boost for that small greddy turbo, its gonna be pumping out hella heat, imo the greddy is a nice kit, but doesnt make the power a drag kit or any t3/t4 kit makes. but again tuning is the key.

 

[Rx7T2Boi]

ya from what i heard at 15psi the greddy turbo cooks itself todeath..... i dunno we got a T3 not sure on the housings and what not.... but im wondering if its up to the 18+ of boost at the track
its from the drag gen 2 kit

 

[honda115]

theb 16 has a good bore to stroke ratio so that it is incredibly strong and allows itself to rev high. Thus making it a strong engine.... greddy would be a great kit to use on your car unless you plan to run more than 14 psi. i believe that is the cut off point for the greddy... 14 or 17... forgot which one... that kit (to the best of my knowledge) is lagless so it would make a great daily driver... spend an hour or less on a dyno tuning it with a vafc (hondata fms would be better but most of us don't have that much cash to blow) and you should be set

The drag or fmax kit utilize a t3/t4 hybrid compressor which is good for large amounts of boost but they do have lag... i would say get the greddy kit, according to them you can upgrade the turbo and still keep that exhaust manifold and downpipe...

hope i helped

 

[cdoome2]

yes they do have lag, but i reach full boost at about 3900 rpm, not bad id say for t3/t4

need help

i have a 99 si. want to turbo but it is used for my daily driver. i was thinking of stroking the engine to a 1.8 from crower. then do a complete valvetrain redo, turbocams,valves,springs, and retainers,all from crower, then i was going to buy the greddy si turbo kit. im new at turbos and dont know alot about them,but i know alot about all motor. got a freind with a stroked gsr engine making 290 to the wheels without the juice. any input on my combination would be appreciated..
