I am seriously looking for a turbo kit to be completely installed and done by early-mid Augest. So far I have a company who wants to be working on my Z, but we haven't talked in about 2 weeks, so I'm not 100% if they are still interested..

Anyways, does anyone here know the estimated price on the Greddy Kit? I heard 4,500, 6,000, and 10,000?

Any other companies releasing kits by Augest time? If so, which?/power?/price?

Thanks.

Sorry if this thread is a re-post.. I searched and couldn't find exactly what I was looking for.

 

Is Greedy making a songle turbo kit application as well?

I'm not looking for 400whp

Just a little boost.

Anyone know of any single turbo apps. being built?

 

Why are they doing twin anyway?

 

A turbo doesn't have to run off all cylinders.

 

Wouldnt one side have lass backpressure than the next though? One side would be running a normal header and the other spooling the turbo?

Never really thought about this before...

 

I was thinking they would do it something like this, and just include a hood with a hump in it, like a lot of other turbo cars.

The ever popular 3.8L Buick V-6 turbo.

 

I speak from experience though, putting turbo on a car that was not turbo from the factory isn't really a good idea. I've had two cars that were factory turbo, upgraded them, and had a pleasurable experience. I've also turbo'd two car that were not originally turbo, maybe it was installation, but both were a nightmare! They were fast, but definitely not reliable.

 

So back to MY question.... haha... anyone know prices?

 

The $6,000 amount sounds about right...

 

It is going to cost around $6500.00. They are still working on the intake and don't have the cost for this piece yet.

 

I can vouch to that statement. When you put turbo on car that was not meant for turbo, you better be prepared to spend time and money to get it right..(if it gets right).

Just my 2cent.

Back to the question, Greddy Turbo is around $6k I believe..
Power Enterprise has turbo setup but not sure how much.

You may also look into supercharger...I think it will be better simply because it has LESSER parts to setup than turbo.

 

when do you guys think greddy will come out with there turbo?
The guy at sema told me by the end of this year..? But it didnt look like the guy knew what he was talking.

 

hmmm....for those who turboed n/a cars in the past, did you try putting low compression pistons instead? this might be a good approach for those who decide to put turbos on a 350.

 

I don't think they are talking about blowing motors with turbos. But more that the kits that they had were not reliable. If you get a GOOD kit with lots of R&D, you should have no problem turboing a normally N/A car. Furthermore, tuning is EVERYTHING. Once you get the kit working, it needs to be tuned correctly.

 

Hmmmm.....

GReddy Turbo kit - $3,700 in parts, plus labor

Plus it should be reliable with only 5.6 lbs of boost.

I'm sure they have put tons of R&D into it. I can't wait.......
