Because he will still need every other part that comes with the IP kit; all the parts in the IP kit are quality plus he won't have to fab up intercooler piping and other things.

 

[QUOTE=TRBOKEV,Aug 13 2008, 10:22 AM] I thought of this already..
I started putting the pieces together that I found on one site on the web that sold inline stuff separate. After adding the price for a manifold, down pipe, turbo and even priced their charge pipe etc price I was blown away at how they sell their kit for 3900 or 4000 when if you buy everything separate its more than 1K less than the kit price is.

 

These are all inline parts (exactly what is in their kit just bought separately from an inline supplier)
Inline kits dont come with injectors or a fuel pump...

I dont think you understood my original post....

 

the point is CARB legality for those of us in cali

every post I read of yours you are just bashing the greddy kit and trying to prove to owners who are trying to mod it that we should have all just gone inline pro from the start and essentially condescending us while doing so.

instead of trying to prove you are right, maybe just realize that some people wish to try to mod what they have and whether or not it is the most cost effective or efficient is opinion of course. I know for me I just want to try to push the greddy kit a little more than most people have and see what kind of numbers I put down. Obviously, the IP would have given me more power for the same money, but if me and others like me want to spend xx dollars on our 300whp greddy kits then let us do it without criticism.

with joey I do agree with you that yes he should have just gone inline since he is in NJ.


Please don't think i'm starting some kind of argument, just merely stating my own opinion.

 

as soon as Jon gets in my kit he will be doing the install and tune.

he is pretty optimisitic as far as my numbers and performance goes.

gains could be great, or they could be crappy, we'll see!

either way, I wanted to give it a shot.

 

I was referring to joey specifically, he does not have to worry about carb here so i didnt even bring that point up.

Again I was refering to ONLY the OP, I encourage people who must use greddy to mod their kits but for people who want 500+ out of a 300hp unit its called being realistic.

 

I will say I love, and I mean love the quick spool of the Greddy, I would eventually like to auto-X and/or track the car and I think Greddy is perfect for this.

I basically want it all, the quick spool of the Greddy and the 500 ponies of the inline............

 

ahh ok thanks for clarifying.

yeah, for now I just want to see if I can get around 340whp. Which compared to my 290 is a big jump.

 

slimjim had nearly the same spool up of the greddy kit (gt30r+inline mani+3mm) and made about 410hp on a restrictive exhaust and conservative tune. Others have reached 450rwhp with a GT30 on the inline manifold and still fully spool by 4k rpms.

 

very big
