Well since you have WWW.SFP.NET under your name, I realize why you are bashing the Greddy kit. Because I am sure SFP makes every part of their turbo kits including the turbos. I think you forgot that Greddy designed the manifolds, piping, and include the eManage system.

Ok actually we never say we make a turbo kit with all of our components so again whats greddy about the turbo kit the intercooler and emanage anyone can make a manifold. Just like we do. And whos bashing did i say anything negative about the kit no it actually happens to be a good kit I was just asking how they can put there name on something if they only make the parts I have said. And how can they say well it comes with greddy turbos if everyone knows greddy turbos are really mitsubishi turbos

Why not, alot of parts on a car is acutally build by different parts supplier instead of the Manufactures.

For example, MBZ's shocks are build by Bilstein. and Toyota's radio are usually build by Nippon Denso. Ferrari's brake are build by Brembo, and seats are from Recaro....etc.

Yeah anyone can make their own turbo kit if you feel like purchasing a bunch of parts and can fabricate your own turbo manifolds and piping. That and engine management is what you are paying for since the eManage is setup for the turbo kit.

The one that comes with the Greddy kit is vehicle specific and is setup for that perticular turbo kit with those injectors.

Well we are actually in the porccess of doing a custom kit we are making custom manifold for My car. we will be using twin gt series turbos. Than after speaking with AEM we were told they have a ems that will be universal so we will be using this on my car combined with twin tial w/g we should be able to mkae just as much power as the greddy kit with less boost

Having a set of manifolds and being able to piece together a TT kit is still going to run you close the the price of a Greddy TT. But what you may make up on price you loose in time, r&d time for fitment, piping, etc...

Either way, best of luck with your custom kit, look foward to seeing the finished product.

Only Nismo USA. NISMO JAPAN has their own intake kit, and it's not CAI, which is totally different than the US version.

The truth comes out. I will go back to my first post in this thread. I knew you were making your own turbo kit and this thread was about slaming the Greddy kit to promote your own SFP kit.

One word for the way Greddy can put their name on other companies parts...MONEY. They pay for the parts. imcool, ever heard of a comma? or period? your grammar is similar to a 10 year old. BTW, good luck with the AEM EMS and trying to figure out the throttle-by-wire...if AEM hasn't got it by now, you won't.

well im sure we will get it considering we have one of the bets tuners for the ems working at our shop. Aem actually calls us up for R&d as well as other companies out there. We do alot with the ems such as duel computers on ford trucks and duel computers on cars like a turbo honda element we are doing. The results with both these jobs have made our customers very very happy so we will just see. Look for MY car in an upcomming magazine with a review on the kit. Prob about april or may the publication will be out
