Very complicated piping arrangement, that makes for difficulty in installing an upgraded radiator (see my thread on AMS radiator + JWT TT kit = PITA)

Pricey.

Lackluster engine management (I, and many others, don't like the split second box, which is why I have a UTEC instead)

Limited purchasing places (you have to go to an authorized dealer, authorized by JWT, who has to install it. In other words, no self installs, unless you know someone who will work a deal for you)

 

We've been working hard on getting the kit off and making all of the fixtures/jigs for our kit, so we are ready to roll. I already have 3 kits sold, with about 7 or so people interested. We've been quiet lately as we did the testing on the stock block and then dismantled so we coule put into to production.

On a side note, our stock motor had 1 ever so slightly bent rod from our dozens of pulls at 500rwhp and a few track runs.

Our kit offers your choice of turbos, ball bearing, journal, etc.. turbo's ranging in power all the way up to 625hp each All the fittings, water/oil lines, coated headers, downpipes, open wastegates, recirculated wastegates, etc.. You have lots of options with our kit. We intend to have a couple of kits on the shelf at all times so there is no downtime or wait for anyone buying.

If you have any questions just let me know

Out of the box seems as:

Greddy kit is always missing pieces when we first receive the kits. Hard to get them replaced quickly.

As GTM posted, APS' customer service is horrible. We have had two main instances in the past month where they have not helped us out with warranty issues. Costs are continuing to rise with their products as well as shipping costs are outrageous. APS does have very nice quality except for the two warranty issues we have had due to failure. Oh, and as far I know APS does not take care of their dealers at all.

 

sorry about the delay..............my build: wiseco 8.5:1 pistons, BC Rods, Cogsworth racing main, rod, and thurst bearings, ARP main and head studs, Cometic head gaskets, 750cc injectors, large fuel rails, custom fuel system w/return, walbro 255 pump along w/stock fuel pump, aeromotive 1000 fuel pressure regulator, Greddy TT w/intercooler, nitrous, RPS stage 3 clutch, RPS cyner-g flywheel, AEM dual wideband kit, dual EGT sensors, Greddy Spec II Profec B boost controller, E-manage Ultimate w/updates and engine expansion harness, custom exhaust w/no cats & open dumps(awaiting install), HKS SSQ blow-off valve...........i think thats about it except for guages and small stuff, if i remember anything else i'll post it

i agree my kit was missing little small stuff that was a pain to get and i ended up paying for them again, Cuz who wants to wait 3 months for a claim on a air filter hose adaptor or exhaust manifold studs

 

thats why its good to install a bunch of greddy kits and keep all the extra pieces. then you always have small ones when you need them.

big single is where its at!!!


to the OP, you ever run that thing?? numbers?? what kinda shot you running??

 

Missing pieces have been pretty rare with greddy lately. If you buy from a Greddy authorized dealer, it is relatively easy for us to get replacement parts when parts are missing from the kit. Most authorized dealers usually have spares laying around too.

 

exactly, not only does the greddy miss a couple few small things but it usually comes with 10Xs as many extra pieces!!






i think they are extra hehehe

 

Thanks for the reply.. What is your numbers?? Nice build.. Who did it??

 

i was suppose to get it back last monday but had a couple of set backs..........so i'm gettin it back on wednesday.........then i gotta brake it in............but the plan is a 50 shot (give or take a couple...jk)............ Rob at S&S speedshop is doing the build

 

i'll post the #'s when its time to turn her loose

 

what engine management??



Fcon Vpro is going to be nasty with TT and nitrous!!

 

an E-manage Ultimate w/engine expansion harness

 

i wanted to go stand-alone, but there was no room left in the budget

 

no biggie..u can always upgrade if you feel like in the future

 

I'll put on my flame suit and throw in my and say from my point of view the Speed Force Racing twin 60-1 kit is the best all around. It makes excellent power on low boost for the stock block and has potential for 1000 HP of air out of the same compressors which far exceeds the Greddy or APS Extreme kit. Of course you will want a good EMS with it so I would compare it to the APS Extreme kit if any. An HKS Fcon or my preference the upcoming Haltech EMS with the SFR twin kit would be my choice if I was going to go twin turbo.

 

yeap...sounds like you will need it

 

JWT TT HAS MY VOTE-i know 2 other guys with aps not having that good of luck-possible relation to install-but in my personal experience with aps not good customer service and that means alot to me!!!thats just me though

 

We would like to think it has the most potential. There are two big builds being finished right now. One with a 3.6L with the works and the other is a 4.2L with the works. We should be seeing some numbers pretty soon

 

How much did they pay your for that?? lol..................
