So, with the wastegate that comes with the Greddy kit, I would be able to adjust the boost levels right? or would I need a boost controller?

 

No, you need to get a boost controller. He runs the Greddy Profec B-Spec

I run the Greddy Profec B-Spec2. Very good BCs.

 

sold it already, just need to take it off the car...tuesday is dooms day

 

So about the intercooler and bov though, what would you recommend I do? Just do what I mentioned on my first post? Or get an already fabricated Greddy Intercooler kit?

 

The prefab would work well as the piping is already bent for your car and the kit. If you've already got a Greddy kit, why not get the FMIC that fits it?

BOV is really up to you. You can have any shop weld on a flange to your charge pipe. It's a simple install really. I though it was hard before I did it, but I look at it now and there's really nothing to it...

 

I guess that would work...but Im just trying to avoid spending the $700 if I dont have to.

 

aren't we all. Sometimes you have to spend money to get something that's going to last. As I said, sleeper has had his kit on with the Greddy Type 31 FMIC for over 3 years now and it runs great. He goes to the track and races the piss out of it just about every Friday night and still no problems. A couple of cooling issues, but that can be expected when it's ran so often. We think it's just his water pump taking a poop.

Save the money and get the good stuff.

hih

 

Alright, so tell me how this parts list sounds:

Greddy Turbo Kit - Gonna just use the Blue Box for now.
Greddy Intercooler Kit
Greddy BOV - How do I put this on the charge pipe? a flange?
Greddy Profec B-Spec Boost Controller - Is this really needed?

Is there anything else I should get? Better injectors? anything?

 

The kit comes with bigger injectors so those will work fine with the blue box for now.

Which FMIC? 31? 24? I recommend 31 for that kit.

Honestly, I don't like the Greddy Type-S BOV. I think the HKS SS is very nice! You may like the Greddy though. :dunno:

The flange will need to be welded to the charge pipe and you bolt the BOV onto that.

That really should do it.

:edit: OH, and a boost gauge. :goodjob:

 

Just a side note, the Apex'i kit is no longer available for resale because it's discontinued by Apex'i. If you can find a new one, it will probably bet going for close to retail (which is > $200).

The Greddy 92-95 kit can be used without problems, but the primary O2 sensor wiring needs to be extended. It comes with a 15G Mitsu turbo and maxes out in efficiency around 15psi.

The new kit for the 99-00 EX models has been released. WestCoast and myself are the only people I know of that can get these kits as of now. It comes with a 19T Mitsu turbo that's just larger than the 15G and should put out a lot more power and have a higher efficiency range, but I haven't been able to get a clear answer from Greddy on this. Someone dyno'd it and gained about 50whp at either 8 or 10psi.

The blue box that comes with the 92-95 kits can now be sent to Greddy and traded for a base-map E-Manage. The new kits come with the E-Manage and additional injectors.

These turbos have actuator style wastegates and boost can be adjusted by turning a nut on the actuator arm, but I highly suggest using an electronic boost controller so that you don't run into boost spike. An EBC will also ensure that your boost level stays the same throughout the RPM range.

Let us know if you have any other questions! SOHC POWER!!!
