the ssac manifolds are notorious for using extremeley thin stainless for the runners, and mild steel for the flanges. A bad combo. Also, if the turbo you're refering to is the one that comes in the little kits they sell, they're not actually garrett turbos, are notorious for being very poorly balanced, and some even seem to be different sizes than what they claim to be(I've seen "t3/t4" turbos from ssac that look more like a t25, etc).Quote:

GReddy
It takes a tremendous amount of money and time to successfully increase the power of a naturally aspirated engine. With a GReddy bolt-on turbocharger kit you can obtain instant horsepower gains with less time and money while still having the potential for upgrading. Unlike most turbo kits on the market today, GReddy kits are designed specifically for driveability and reliability, as well as performance. Since they are based completely on stock engines, these kits come with all the necessary basics, including fuel enrichment. Many of the kits are covered under CARB E.O. numbers which make them 50-state street legal. If competition use is your goal, there are many GReddy upgrades (intercoolers, blow-off valves, fuel management and boost controllers) to boost the power output even further.
Ok best thing is price, deliverd to Perth $3328.26 if I ever decide to go forced induction this would be the way, keep the boost at max 7psi and it will run like a angel ;)

Yeah but you have a shitty E-Manage, 310cc injectors arent good enough. Intercooler isnt included in those cheaper prices. Plus the air filter is a horrible colour!
This is bolt on kit and all you need is there including intercooler, for normal boost you don't need anything else or anything bigger, go as recomended and it will be driveable and reliabile with good power increase, you wont get 200Kw at wheels but you will get good power and performance, of course you need to install and tune everything good in order for everything to run smoothly.

I use my nice one for racing. People here would see it and want me to make them one and then get mad at the price they would have to pay. Damn Americans want shit for free!!
~ well, if you can get me one without an e-manage, with bigger injectors, and an intercooler kit, including piping, for that price, I might actually buy it.Quote:

Which, as people like BLKCRX, saxman, PRO-ECU etc etc, all say, it's best to do it yourself, save some cash and make better results.
3400 bucks is a lot. I hope that's AUD because for about 1500-2k USD you can build your own kit and it would have better parts. Sure Greddy is nice and all but it's overpriced and over rated. Most big name kits are. By the time you hit that price you're looking at a T-60 water cooled turbo with a custom manifold, big fmic, pipes, 440+ injectors, basic Hondata or AEM EMS, and all the other parts. Not to mention ones you want and will work best for the application. Maybe some internal parts. Everything you can install yourself but I would have a pro do the tuning. All you need is a basic know how and some tools. Hardest part is finding oil and water hook-ups.
There's mroe than enough threads started here and on other forums to get you started and I am sure there are so DIY's here on installing it yourself. If you are really wanting to get a big name kit and you want the best bang for your buck try the Edelbrock kits. They are for the D16Y8, B16A2, and D16Z6. Comes with the Intake manifold, secondary fuel rail and injectors. Best kit I've seen for a while. It does have a T28 water cooled ball bearing turbo. Not big but it's a good entry turbo. I think they have a few new options coming out for 06 so keep an eye open.

edelbrock uses a gt28r as far as I'm aware... little bit of a step above a t28 ;)
hey type-r617, ive got a custom built turbo setup in my dc2r which should be tuned and running on 8/3/06. im thinking about selling it because of finances at the moment but im running standard internals.
quick specs on the setup are : gt3040 turbo 480hp, ignition system, bosch fuel pump, gtr injectors, power fc, intercooler, manifold, braided lines.
private msg me if ur interested. note: it should produce over 200kw@wheels easily but ill let u know after its tuned if ur interested.
oops, forgot to mention its high mounted and its using a 44mm tial wastegate.
your going to achieve that 200kw with stock internals?
