It's just an intercooler in the radiator intake, that doesn't go anywhere!
There is no turbo, and no plumbing. How sad is that? Especially for a company of their level. Why even bother to show it?

What do you guys think?

 

Somebody call the authorities!

Do you have any pics to prove your point? Of course there's a turbo in development, it probably just wasn't ready to be shown yet.

 

Well it takes a lot of time to SAFELY develop a bolt-on turbo kit. greddy probably just wanted to water our mouths and get us to anticipate a turbo kit that is in development by them that will be sold in the future.

 

I think hes just a point *****.

 

Newsflash: points don't mean anything.

 

are you sure it's fake? I saw the picture at overboost.com with the hood opened, and it has intake pipe going to the bottom of the car. But I didn't see the pipe actually connected to the intercooler. It sure looks good though.

 

I will be in touch with Greddy as soon as they are back from SEMA. I will let you guys know what they tell me. Our shop installed one of the first Civic Si kits, one of the first Prelude kits, and hopefully one of the first 350Z kits.

 

I don;t know if it's fake or not, but I'm sure that they don't intend it to be fake... just in development. If there are no turbos on there, they probably just haven't finished it in time.

 

My boss just got off the phone with someone at Greddy. The kit is absolutely real. It was completed a week before SEMA. It is a "bolt-on" kit, no internal modifications. It purrs like a kitten, and has no CEL codes. Details will be released after it is approved by the CARB. I asked when I can start taking orders, and was told, once we get a press release from Greddy with details. I had their bolt-on kit on my Civic Si, and the only complaint I had was the poor fuel management. This kit comes with the Emanage system, which means you will be able to tune it when you make changes. That is all the information I have now. I will keep everyone informed.

 

...according to this, the Twin Turbo settup is real:

 

...they are TD05h 1GB turbos....the car also has a full TEIN suspension settup.

 

But whatever happened to the front strut tower brace?

 

The turbos are 18G turbos. And just to give you an idea. On my 1.6L engine, an 18G produced 100 whp @10psi. I will let you guys know as soon as I get some numbers from Greddy on this setup.

I've got about 4 motor pics of the Greddy 350Z TT.

The story on the car is as follows. It is a TT with all the parts. The car on display was running zero boost. The kit will be out early next year with some final testing/tuning for reliability.

I'll get the pics up when I'm back home, right now I'm still in Vegas and this dialup is connect around 12kps.

 

Since when is a turbo 350Z considered "greedy?"

I dont know where this guy is getting his info, I was there and reached my hand down there and put it right on the turbo manifold! You cant see it from this pic, but they left the hood open so anyone could look and feel in there at the turbos

 

If I am remembering correctly, the Greddy Prelude kit was first shown at SEMA, and then took about 8 months to reach market. It seems that the CARB certification is the biggest holdup, according to Greddy. I don't understand why they don't go ahead and sell the kit in the other 49 states which don't have CARB, while waiting on California.
