I am debating on the Greddy Turbo kit for my GSR, I am currenly running 14.8's w/ I/H/E and wanted to hear from you w/ the kit! What gains could I expect? I will keep the stock internals for now so under 10psi and have slicks already. Any info and comments would be appreciated. No intercooler yet, basic kit will break my bank, and I know how important the intercooler is.....so I know 13's and hope for 105mph+ area...let me know!

Thanks!!

I think you will break 13's with no intercooler but dont plan on running it past 6-7psi. If you do get the intercooler and boost it to about say 10psi on stock internals you should see some impressive gains.

 

[MarkGSR]

Thanks for the info..

Thanks man!



Still searching for some GSR owners w/ the kit'


Lates!

What makes you want the GReddy kit over a kit like DRAG or REVHARD?

 

[IntegraXTR]

i want the GReddy kit too..BUT, I have OBDII on my 2000 GSR....which sucks cuz it wont hook up with the GReddy kit.....


damn, 14.8? shit, with my I/H/E I hit 15.1....well..with stock tires...but shit that's quick...

do not expect the engine to last if ur boosting 10 psi

Greddy Kit and Nittos drags..

Ya gotta get some traction man!!! I avg. 2.1's 2.2's in the 60' and that is the whole race, hooking up off the line and good crisp shifts!!! W/ Nitto drags around 25 psi - 30psi most cut a couple tenths off, so you should see 14's hooking up better!!

Lates!

I have just heard good things about the Greddy Kit, the install and quality and so on....just $3k is some break to spend, but I got 4 yrs of payments ahead, so may as well make it fast and enjoy it. I know I could through on a 75 shot and be low 13's , but filling bottles and racing gets spendy and so on....I have heard great info./ power w/ turbos, just hope its reliable and good for me for daily driver, I figure keep it low boost and crank it up to 10psi max intercooled on race days..

 

[IntegraXTR]

ahhhhh!

gotcha...

shit, well, i was runnin' sum shitty tires and all....

hmm, can't seem to find my time slips...was kinda pissed off when some Civic Si blew me outta the water =P

 

[GSRacer]

well a couple things to think about. your running a 10:1 compretion ration so you really should not boost about 8 psi without changing the pistons and getting stronger rods...also interooler is KEY! don't run over 6 psi without one. also the gsr's gearing flat out sucks for turbo, the final drive is way too high, which makes the gears too short. and everyone knows short gears are bad for turboing becaus your not in boos very long. to get the results you want swap out with a ls tranny (most ls/vtec guys will be more than happy to trade you for free) and then you need to get an intercooler and build your motor for a turbo, the b18c1 is desigend for all motor...these are just a few things to think about, also a lsd would be a good idea to put in your tranny along with a very agresive clutch.

Greddy turbo on GSR...

I thought the GSR gears are long personally, well compared to B16 tranny's and Type R's! So low boost w/ out an intercooler around 5psi or so and intercooled little higher huh? I have heard intercooled 10psi is max? Have ya heard of people messing up there motor around 10psi tuned right? A/F is right on and everything? I have heard Great things about ACT clutches my bro' has one on his NX2000 w/ SR20det running 11's and hold great!

Thanks guys!

on h-a there's a dude whose been running 12 psi on a gsr engine on stock internals for 2 years without problems. the key to long engine life is tuning. the #1 reason for blown engines is a lean fuel mixture; the first thing i'd do after installation is go to a dyno and carefully tune the fuel delivery (you'll need higher flow injectors). just to be safe i'd run about 10-11 psi. however, if you have the money, get new rods/pistons and run 15-18 psi. be sure to get an intercooler, otherwise running above 6 psi can blow your engine.

GSRacer: why would you need an ls tranny? the lower the rpms the lower the boost, so you'll be just killing performance. gsr tranny is good for boost because it keeps you in higher rpms, which means higher boost, which means more hp.

no matter how much boost you'll be running be sure to get an aftermarket clutch, your stock one will blow in no time with the added hp. sticky tires will help also.

 

[GSRacer]

just chillin - its a not a matter of low rpms, because once you in the upper rpms when you shift your still up there, the fact of the matter is that for a turboed car you want a lower final drive, because the gears are longer and as im sure you know the longer you are in a gear the longer you will be in your high boost. ask anyone a high final drive on a turboed car is bad, if you don't know this then you should be really be posting on this issue, also no one mention how in vtec you have longer valve over lap, another bad thing for tuboed cars...how about doing your homework...

yeah but then you're also longer in low boost... that's kinda like saying longer gears are better on high-rpm cars because you'll be longer at high rpm's, but it means you'll also be longer at the low rpm's.

i went 14.6 on Firestone tires and stock susp. with i/h/e and butterflies open 24-7, 94 GS-R

go into the turbo forum...they could explain it better than i can as you can probably tell but the ls tranny is better quiped for turbos due to its gears, ive seen a lot of the gsr-turbo guys switch over and gain better times by doing so. lower final drives are better for turbos

 

[97IntegraLST]

Just chillin, Ask anyone who knows their shiet and they will say that the LS Tranny is better.
