I would like opinions on the GReady turbo

Yes, there is no BOV. There is also no digital boost controller. I was told the reason that there is no BOV is due to CARB exemption rules. Something about intake air venting into the atmosphere. I wonder why GReddy doesn't include a re-circulating BOV?

I was re-reading the GReddy catalog that has the RX-8 listing in it and they discuss how their turbo kits are designed to be a good start for stock engines with plenty of room for future performance increases. Perhaps they figure oil pans and BOV's are for those who are truly serious about their performance and can be included in the kit for a slight upcharge? What about those who already have the E-manage? Does/Will/Should GReddy offer a kit w/o the E-Man at a discount with the capability to download the proper maps?

Just looked at the e-manage that came with my turbo kit. There are only 3 ports on it, 2 to connect it to the cars ECU, and a smaller port labled "boost".. I'm guessing that one is for a boost controller?

Jeff, underneath your E-Man you have what appears to be an ignition box. I have been preparing to upgrade with an ignition amp/coils when I go with a turbo and/or more nitrous. If that is, indeed, an ignition related item what is it and how well does it work for you? Might I find that you have authored a thread on that topic already? Thanks.

yeah, it went over the OTHER side, not the side with the inputs for the computer harnes. Looks like some rotary switches. Don't have a pic of it but i might by tonight. Install is going well, im a little farther along than philodox, but i have been working on it in my garage at home for 3 days as time allows. Also, be careful with the o2 sensor (you have to remove the front one, there are two), mine was friction welded in and i stripped the threads, 300 bux, OUCH....

The box under the E-Manage was an MSD DIS ignition box. I have removed it because it only controlled two plugs and I intend to replace it with an AEM C2DI.
That front (and rear, for that matter) O2 sensor are always "friction-welded" as you put it, If you work them out and back in a few threads at a time, it is possible to get it out without completely destroying the threads. Just clean them up with a die afterwards.

I'm not sure of the spelling and I'll look tomorrow but there is a product on the market called Kroyal, not spelled that way. It is amazing for loosining things. I think you have to buy it direct, I've never seen it sold anywhere. It smells though, I mean really smells. When you walk into the shop you know someone has used it. This may be the answer to the O2 sensor problem.
