ok the greddy kit doesnt LOSE power/tq at 6 grand... its the FEELING that your refering to that gives you the illusion of losing it... dont get it twisted..

For wat your looking for... and for the cost... you want the greddy...

hell, i'll even hook u up on a godspeed kit that gives your more potential for later down the road.

But the sooner you realize, that the tune is the most important thing, and what you use to tune it with, the more you'll realize this isnt gonna be cheap.

I had the AEM EMS 1052 U. i have friends that had stuff done at INLINE, and i have inline doing stuff.

having that said... because i want emmissions passing ability.. and full stand alone ability.. i bought a hondata kpro...

its all wat you put into it..and beleive me.. the cheaper you go with it at first... it will catch up in costs in the long run.

I am getting the SOT kit myself, but if cost is a main concern and going used is fine, then the Greddy might be for you.

 

OK, there aren't any tuners here in the area. So I am out of luck. I understand the importance of the tune, but from what I have read the standard that Greddy sends is fine/safe/rich. I can run this an think I will be happy. If I can find a tuner, then great, I will spend the money if they are good at what they do. I just don't see much available complete around 3k with TQ other than a used Greddy.....

I think you are not looking at the plot correctly


there is 200ft of tq at the wheels from idle (granted the plot starts at 2.7k) up to 4k and then goes up from there because of vtec.

tell me what turbo (single) is capable of giving you 200ft.lbs instantly and still have enough air at redline to result in a decent HP number.

 

[QUOTE=paulzale,Mar 12 2009, 12:55 PM] Boosted TQ cross NA TQ and same for Boosted HP v. NA HP.

 

Ahhh, yes I see now! OK how do I get one for less than 3k?

 

I think you are a little confused by the SOT kit. It is a supercharger, yes, but it is completely different than the centrifugal superchargers from CTSC, VTSC, KW, SOS. This is a roots type blower that will give you instant torque as low as 2000rpm.

Just look @ the powerband its pretty flat all the way from 3000rpm to redline over 200tq all the way through! Look @ any of the centrifugal dyno's and NONE of them will hit 200tq @ 3000rpms, well except maybe John_Z or Sideways, but they are in the 500whp arena!

I believe for what the OP wants, the SOT is best if he has any desire to go over 300whp (300-400whp) If he will be fine with 300whp or less, then I would go with the greddy kit based on cost and a bit easier to install!

If they were both the same price. then without a doubt I would go with the SOT kit for anything under 400whp if I wanted more low-end torque.

But enjoy whichever kit you go with, because they are all great imho in their own ways!

Just my .02

 

I think you may be reading the dyno chart wrong.
