Greddy ?'s

Why does everyone hate on greddy kits? I just aquired a brand new one non intercooled with an 18g. How much should I have paid for it?

Re: Greddy ?'s

People hate on them because they are overpriced. You can make more power for less money with a homemade kit.

And generally kids who don't know much about working on cars buy them due to their lack of skill, and ask retarded questions that make themselves appear dumb.

They aren't bad at all if you got it for a good price and get proper engine management. The turbo is small IMO but I like a bit of lag and then a hard pull.

It's not too small for an A6, you might love it.

That's just my personal opinion, I don't like really fast spooling turbos.

Re: Greddy ?'s

You wont believe this but, I paid $150. I was thinking about buying another civic si or using it on my newly aquired subaru loyale 4wd wagon that i bought for $300. Either way will need to sell off the other stuff that came with the kit since it's for a B16 and fab a manifold and some kind of Fuel management for the subie? What can I use on the subie besides a FMU?

Hey man I'll buy the manifold, turbo and downpipe from you so you can use the money to pick up something that will fit your car. I have a b16 and really need something that fits with my a/c. You can triple your money and get something you can use. LMK!

Re: Greddy ?'s

For the Subie Mega Squirt would be good or if you are not comfortable setting it up etc then you can use a universal hack like the SAFC,Split Second etc etc.Go find a Subie board and see what most of them use.I would really recommend MegaSquirt as it will provide full complete tunability.Take lots of pics as it sounds like cool project.
