Nuke, if you go to the last reply in my pic thread (click my pic) I just told someone that!

Unless you want to "twist" them, you will need a full length mounting bracket to hold all three gauges. You will need to make this yourself.

Basic Greddy kit, bought used.
Greddy blowoff valve, installed by kit owner. (nice job)


Doesn't that say that the previous owner did a nice job?

I certainly don't want to claim that I installed it - just that I was inspecting the weld on the inside as I assembled it, and made a mental note to give an attaboy to the welder.

I'm quite insulted that anyone would think I didn't put this thing together myself.......

thanks for the tips guys. i was pretty sure i had to go custom, just didn't know if there was a way to use any of the supplied parts. i'd still like to see pics if you can get them so it can make it a little easier to figure out what i need.

Good stuff - the dropping of both motor mounts was to allow you to move the engine over to the drivers side. Helps a lot when you get your GT3071R... that thing is tight.

After wrapping all my pipes - I haven't seen anymore carpet singing damage....so I think it works.

+1 on the off-boost characteristics

...more torque at part throttle totally changes for the better the feel of this car.

If the true comes out.....

I'm definitely a turbo-noob.

I was more than 'surprised' by the different feel of the kitted car.
I have never owned a boosted car, never driven a boosted car, I have in fact never even been a passenger in a boosted car.....rotary or other.

I think I may enjoy it.....

Yes - more airflow at almost all engine speeds!!!! WOOT!

How did the MAF screens work for ya? I cannot find mine.... and I am kinda pissed about it.

So have you boosted then???

Is it time for me to update your profile?

Daemos

Boost is awesome...I miss boost...I'm quite jealous, but at least we have someone who can tell us how turbo power is in winter =D

DOMINION

HELL YES! a boosed mod so have you had time to get on it? or is it still to cold out

blackenedwings

I'm pretty unfamiliar with turbo cars too. I have ridden in a couple friends turboed cars over the year, like STis, and driven a Porsche 944 Turbo for about a month, but I've never owned one. I'm really looking forward to seeing how the application of boost affects the car. I know with the Porsche, even though the turbo was quite laggy, I really enjoyed the feel. I'm expecting pleasant things from my turbo 8.

No, for both reasons - it's not tuned, so I have to get the AP ball rolling, plus the roads are murderous lately, even a clumsy gear-change will put you sideways on the highway and under a semi....

Gotta generate some MAF and idle logs and get some tunage. But meanwhile I'll really enjoy the pops and bangs of this rich map!!

So you have never seen positive manifold pressure???? Not even ONE time... come on man.

04RX8man

good install with everyone going turbo I'm desperately looking for a used greddy kit to go for it next month(hopefully) boost is just undescribalbe

DOMINION

Ahh too cool. I think in a year or two I'll go FI. Just having to much fun buying stuff right now.

blackenedwings

If you think buying stuff is fun, then you should definitely go FI... you buy stuff like crazy. You think you are going to buy just like a kit or something and then bang you buy 20 additional purchases to make the kit work and end up selling a spleen to pay Jeff for parts and it just gets better from there!

04RX8man

^haha that is true i'm workin out some prices now and damn the cost of "extras" ends up being about half the cost of the kit haha

blackenedwings

Yeah, a used GReddy kit is cheap, but adding gauges, midpipe, engine management, upgraded turbo, injectors etc etc gets pricey fast not counting any installation costs. It's not a cheap hobby.

DOMINION

Well I'm looking for a beater so thats all I'm saying

04RX8man

yeah hopefully i can find a used greddy for about 1500 or so and not gonna upgrade the turbo to start ust gonna play with it as is but with everything(not installation i'm doing it myself) will run me around 2500 or so not including tuning it on dyno/street! also not injectors now either basically just turbo kit boost, AFR, EGT, Oil Press, Coolant Temp, Boost controller and turbo timer and catch can!

congrats.

Stealth I have a question. How did you fit that screen after the maf, the one on the greddy piping side. Id like to know if that helps any.

StealthTL

iTrader: (1)

It's a stock screen from the old airbox - comes with a nice rim, and as you can see in the first picture, it fits in the MAF tubing but from there on, the tubing is quite a bit smaller, so it stays in place.

That was part of the rationale for putting it there, to counter any turbulence from the abrupt tubing diameter stepchange.
