So I posted a thread somedays back wanting to turbo for 2500 lol. Well I accepted the fact of that and moved on. So now my setup goes like this. Used greddy kit with bottom mount turbo and p fab log manifold. Hondata ecm. Act pressure plate stock disc combo. Hopefully ill be pushing 9 psi and in return get 300 ish whp. Is this reseaonable? Will this setup be fairly easy on the engine? Wanna hear your input. Thanks

 

i would look into a used supercharger kit instead

 

Why do you say that? For reliability? Or just my hp range?

 

I used SC will be cost about the same as a used greddy kit, make the same power or more if you desire. Superchargers are very reliable, easy to daily and offer greater updrade potential; the greddy kit is a dead end.

 

I totally agree. I started off with a used Stage 1 Comptech kit for fairly cheap. No aftermarket ECU and little to no tuning required kept the price down. They're really bolt-on and go performance. Made 300 HP at the wheels.

Since then I've been able to upgrade bits a pieces here and there as I freed up more cash. Better heat exchanger, better water pump for the aftercooler, different intake. Then I decided I wanted to up the boost so I slowly acquired the parts for that... upgraded the radiator, ID injectors, standalone ECU... The beauty of it is that my initial investment was low for a huge boost in power over stock, and I was able to upgrade at my own pace as my desire for more boost came on. Now I'm at 400 WHP with basically the same kit that I started with, only with a few more pieces and tuning involved.

You can't really upgrade a Greddy kit like that.

FYI - I was right at $3,200 fully invested for my Stage 1 kit (~6-7 PSI).

 

I agree with coolguy. I too bought a ct sc kit for 3000$ used. And the main reason i like the sc on the S is that it keeps the same feeling as when it was NA. Just crazier !!!

But if you want low torque then turbo is the way to go. But as I have read the greddy kit doesn't give enjoyable power all the way to the redline.
