Greddy kit is a nice kit if you just want a small turbo system in your car, just for a bit of sound and performance. The bad thing with the kit is the hack and of course, no intercooler. The turbo will not allow you to run high boost either.
I haven't check to see what my friend can get them for, but for $2,800.00 that's sounds very cheap.
You have to remember having a turbo is like a drug, you'll be wanting more and more power when you're hooked.

Weq: what do u mean use ure ABN number? can u get around customs that way :S
and as for sending it in bits of 800 dollars worth u will still get hit with customs. I ordered engine mounts which were alot less than that and still had to pay duty. Also the $800 bundles wouldnt be really worth it as shipping is fairly expensive. Cost 65 bucks US or something just for a small box containing three engine mounts.

Ive heard u can get around customs by having the shipment declared as a gift. Just make a deal witht he supplier who's giving ur buying off. As far as sendingit over individually, it would be cheaper in some cases as customs + gst on say my purchse would equal over $500 ontop of the other costs. U are only supposed to be charged import duty on shipments worth over $1000. (purchase+shipment price). My gf is going to the US at the end of the year also, so hopefully i can get something worked out..
The gift thing often doesnt work, and if they find you trying to dodge them they could fine you. Also the $1000 thing isnt correct, i've been charged duty on items under that a number of times.Quote:

I spose the only real way i will be able to tell is if i ring them up and ask...
If you turbo a honda on the cheap, be prepared to turbo it again. dont waste your time and money on cheap turbo setup's honda engines were not designed to be boosted, boost them and they well break eventually. build it properly and it will last you forever not to mention you'll have a extremely fast car.
as for bringing in a turbo kit from os be prepared to pay over 1k in customs charges, gift or no gift. customs are tightarses.
if you want a turbo kit p.m me. we've turbo'd many honda's before. we currently have the 2nd fastest fwd in Victoria
And it's running a D16A8 1.6Ltr DOHC non-vtec as well :D
Not completely tru about having a cheap = crap system. 6 to 8 psi can be had on a cheap turbo setup, and boosted reliably if the engine management is done properly. All engines from normal wear and tear will breakdown, turbos speed this up, but it aint going to happen for ages and ages unless u get boost happy and say run 20psi when ur ssytem can only take 6psi...
Greddy for 2,200 aud? good luck bro, but i fink ur mistaken. TAxes custom, frieght etc will own that price. however i did see a kit on hikariperformance.com the other day, itsa greddy kit. Check that out, its already in adelaide.
Andy, greddy kits use fuel reg and richen the fuel mixtures, to me thats not good engine management.
id go microtech as a a minimum, but then there goes up the price.
The greddy blue box is well known for its hard handed tactics, as soon as it see's 50% throttle it pushes injectors to 100% squirt :) The e-manage will help fix that up somebit..
re greddy price, i never said $2200. Without tax and shipping ur looking $2550 from 90% greddy retailers with our dollars current state. How u get it here is ur buisness.. i emailed the guys at hilkari about the kit, and its already sold unfortunatly.. The aussie distrubuters of greddy still havnt gotten back to me! god damn.
