Default Greddy TT kit on Ebay? good or no good

I spotted this TT kit on ebay. its priced way better than any other greddy kit i've seen only i don't think it comes with the intercooler. I was wondering if anyone knew anything about this kit from this company and would i just be setting myself up for failure?

You still need the intercooler and to make the kit run right about 1000.00 more

yep, if it comes with an intercooler it's a good deal. If not, then you'll need to add 1k for an intercooler.

According to their feedback they seem legit. However, when you add an intercooler to that price you will get pretty much the same price that almost any vendor can offer here.

Sorry to hijack that is a pretty common price range for the kit. If you are looking for a great deal look in the private classified or see my thread titled goodbye F I. Thanks oh and pm me if u have any questions even ones not concerning my specific kit.

i bought my kit from them, cant cant boost more than 6psi safetly with the emanage, now with the emanage ultimate, you can boost alot, Im using the emanage ultimate right now making 411hp on 8psi. I have seen 450hp made at 10.5psi with a 11.5 air/fuel ratio, car runs perfect! was done about a year ago, his ecu was a HKS vpro

Its not neccessarily how much boost you're running, but how much power you're making. Depending on the mods, some people make the same power at lets say 7 psi, as other people make at 8 or 8.5 psi. Assuming that you go with the Greddy TT (since ur looking at buying that one), if you get all the neccessary parts to make it safe, and with the proper engine management (such as the E-manage ultimate) and a proper fuel system (such as the AAM or CJM Fuel Return System), I have come to believe that 450rwhp can be achieved safely. There are a lot of people with a couple different kits pushing over 450rwhp right now, but only time will tell if its safe for long-term at that power level. So far there have been a lot of people pushing about 400rwhp or a little more, for more than a year, so I'm pretty sure that thats pretty safe.

I was running my setup for about 6 months at 8.5 psi map tuned and putting 411 hp down to the wheels with zero problems. Its all in the tune

Yeah I saw the kit on ebay that was selling with the intercooler and piping for the same price as the vendors on here, so thanks for the heads up. I think it would be easier to buy a Z with the TT kit already done as long as it was installed right.

I have nothing against those that sell on EBAY, but just an FYI to everyone. We have more experience with the Greddy kit on the 350Z than most shops. And our prices are nearly the same as this guys, once you factor in shipping and a FMIC.

Hope we can help!
