GReddy Kit + D16Y1 SOHC VTec E-manage Untuned = 97.5WKW Not Bad!!

Hey Guys

Just got back from getting my car Dynoed by Adrian at TODA.

I got 97.5KW at the wheels on a very hot day plus Adrian said my tyres were too flat lol and would have gotten more than 100KW.. Well maybe


Bare in mind this is with E-manage pre-tuned to USA petrol that came with the GReddy kit and very very safe tune at that.

PSI = 5 with a bit of a spike round 6
AFR = 11 to 11.2ish

So one day to install and boost that night nothing ells needed.

NOW THAT’S GOOD VALUE

My goal is 130KW and now that seems doable IMO

Cheers Guys

Just to make sure its safe to keep boosting :thumbsup:

Remember its tuned by GReddy at a safe base line.

more than a b16 gets. Less money too

feels wicked but 120 should feel even better.

I'm running 2" seems fine

mate you should increase to 2 1/4" at least or 2 1/2" i'm sure you'll gain a few more kws. ALso now that you fixed the cooling prob you might find you geta few more kw also.

I'm gonna get 2 1/2 when i'm done

i also 2nd 2.5inch.

Plus I only just passed EPA sound test with my 2" so I'm keeping it as is..

you've already got bitten by the boost bug, your up for it now, sooner or later, you will chase for more power.

Who's got stock anyway?

2" is close enough to stock, way to small. You will still past EPA easy with a 2.5".

i meant the d15z1 engine... lol.

i think the car needs to breath more for you to hit 120kw without upping the boost much. If your really worried 2 reasonators and a good muffler on a 2 1/2 will still be quiet especially on a turbo.

my car was so loud when it was na, never knew why but it was insanely loud. now that its turbo'd its pretty quiet. i have a 3'' ehxuast off some car that i can cut and weld at my own risk while my parents are not home lol but i heard it cannot fit under the engine bay =( is this true?

nah 3" should fit, i have 4-1 headers and they are 1.5" each. Just depends on how low your car sits. Hop under and have a look

Couper_Trooper
Who got 123KW at the wheels is running stock Exhaust!

so what do you make of that?

how much boost was he running? I was getting at that you could have some untapped power without having to do much else to the car

I've talking about it for so long but its finaly done :)

Aimre and one of his mates help me install the kit and she went on without a hitch :thumbsup:

I've got 2.5" lined up :p

140 would be nice but I'll be happy with my target of 120 :p

Hi again,

I am just wondering which Greddy turbokit did you purchase??

Does it come with injectors and emanagement plug-in-play?

If so, your set up should have 250hp once the kit has been installed as per its introduction. Right now you only have around 190-200hp( 135hp at the wheels)???

Hey RedVTi

Nope I got the version without injectors and e-management isn't plug-in-play unless you pay heaps more for a plug-in-play Harnesses

I brought the budget version so I could upgrade the exact parts I wanted.

My version didn't come with the following and the upgrade cost was not worth it IMO straight for GReddy..


FMIC ($800+ extra as GReddy upgrade)
injectors (Not sure but there only 310cc extra as GReddy upgrade)
Plug & Play Harnesses ($250+ extra as GReddy upgrade)

I’ve got the done so far

FMIC ($190+150) = $340
injectors (Not as yet but will be getting RC 440cc)
Plug & Play Harnesses (Solders in)

Remember this is not a cheap kit that will brake and you get a good turbo with it, Mitsubishi (Grant)

Cheers bro

is that delivered or plus postage, got a link?

^^^
ditto?

i'll try and find the site i got it about a mth ago and put it inteh corner as i wasn't ready to install. I got it with injectors so didn't pay any shipping

i got quoted $60 postage (seems pretty step to me) for this walbro 255lph pump
ie: total of US$138, which is about AU$165~170

i dunno what they're worth in the first place though?

Yeah they are 165 including shipping of EG5 lol

i brought a set of 4 injectors, i think the postage came to $60 all up including the injectors which worked out well for me

Sorry about the pics there by my phone lol

Shes not really pink...

nice look engine bay! did you have to recondition/rebuild engine before turbo setup? looks like you got new head or you just sprayed it?

Yup I got the engine rebuild about 20.000k's ago but with stock internals..

That's just a red rocker cover I brought off here some time back and finally installed it last week :thumbsup:

Did you get it rebuilt specifically for the turbo setup? or did your engine seize?
Im thinking about turboing my d16 but im not sure if i should rebuild it first or not. Its not on the lowest milage aswell...

Finally get to see your engine bay. Nice one.

Looks neat and you still got the air-cond. Cool.

I think you can definitely squeeze more power out of your turbo kit.

I am still waiting for mine to finish...feels like eternity...

very tidy setup mate well done!

looks awsome luke... two things id change tho lolll 1. that air filter looks ghey and 2, would look nicer if u put mesh or something in the sides of the front bar

sweeeeet, narh that heat sheild looks choice man!

Adria Said I should again 15kw after retune without touching the psi so I'm guessing if I also up the boost 120-130 should be reachable :)

I can't stand waiting for anything lol so i can imagine how you feel

Yeh id love too, but my engine is in perfect condition ... and i heard his gearbox is crunching... But im still considering it as it will be perfect for a spare

When are you getting it tuned mate? let us know how it goes!

for dat price, who cares if the box is crunching.... it cheaper than a turbo kit

its all just bolt 100% for eg no more to pay ..

and the motor in the package has been rebuilt abt 20,000km ago i think ... and its got the reciept for it

it ends up cheaper than crappy ebay turbo kits and minus the hassles

should read red vti's thread on ebay turbo kit in a ek

what i suggest is use his motor and wind the boost up :D
and have fun with it .. who cares if it blow lol

If I had the spare cash I'd buy it in a hart beat but I'm broke now after all my moding lol

Great deal though... shame

if i had a stock engine ill snap it up with a big smile :D

How did you know your rings was gone Luke? And how much was it to get your engine rebuilt? The reason I ask is because I think I have the same problem...

hey man, 7db is more than you think. for every 3db increase in sound - its twice as loud....

you have lots of space

Burning heaps of oil and white smoke is a dead give away...

I got a compression test 170 a cross the board, way to low.. I'm about 200 pis now after ring's being replaced..

Rob @ Hannys hooked me up he dose all my work those its not always the best its the cheaps round :thumbsup:

$1200 for the rebuild..

Yeah cool man

I'll be looking into bigger that's for sure as long as its legal in the end...

Just a quick update

After a long day with Adrian at TODA due to unforeseen compliations I’m now at 116.5kw minus VTec :thumbsup: Plus new RC440C injectors

That's on 9 to 7 PSI as the 5 bound spring can't hold the boost to well lol

So as the power goes up the boost goes down making for real nice torque but not so good high end power...

I'll need a good boost controller as some point.

I'm quite happy with the results considering VTec's not working and I only have 2" press bent exhaust..

Adrian and I were able to trigger VTec manually so there must be something wrong somewhere but we run out of time to diagnose the problem and will have to go back for a final tune..

Cheers Guys

Luke

PS big thanks to Adrian for putting in the long hours :thumbsup:

wow pretty good number man
out of curiosity how big is the dump pipe on greddy kit. is it only 2 inch?
