so im almost ready to bite the bullet and purchase my first turbo.

its a heads up between APS TT or Greddy TT

im not looking for crazy HP..

around 400whp is good enough.

but i always hear bad stuff about aps.......

opions on which turbo kit is better. more solid would be great!

thanks!

 

Well someone people say build now or build later to!!! I would go with greddy or gtm, but that is just me.

 

E-turbo they are the most reliable

 

Greddy, they are the most popular and have been around long enough to know the in's and out of them.

 

Leaf blower. Black and Decker has been in business a long time, you can trust them.

 

vortech, piece of cake install, make exact same power curve as any other TT kit at 400 whp.

 

i agree with str8dum1 that you should get a vortech kit. i had one. installed it myself, tuned it, never touched it again. maintenance free, essentially. but now that i have my greddy tt kit, the power curve is totally different. so i disagree with that. i would go with a vortech unless you are mechanically inclined and dont mind having your car not run for various amounts of time. and hey, what do ya know?! str8dum1 has one for sale!!! get it.

 

Bro...if it's between APS and GReddy. Get the GReddy man. Gezz, your in Lynnwood man. I was in the same boat but it was between GTM vs. GReddy for me.

Have fun.

 

Everyone says same thing. " i only need 400whp ". I call that BS.
If i have to choose between APS or greddy, i will go with greddy.

 

One thing to keep in mind about the Greddy's, they are NOT water-cooled. They are great for street and 1/4 mi. use, but some people have had issues with them when using them for road racing. So, as long as you do not plan on doing any road course events, you should be fine. If you think you might want to get into road racing, maybe look for one of the older APS kits with the water-cooled/ball bearing turbos (or any of the other kits that use water-cooled/ball bearing turbos).

 

i have not see any dynos with a significant difference in curves from a TT kit to my vortech kit with similar power.
I posted a comparison of my vortech kit vs the greddy kit in the shop build post that Decker@forged made. Also have the same kinda graph in another greddy build that Forged did as well.

The only difference I see is the huge difference in price.

wasnt tryin to plug my for sale, i honestly think on a stock block, vortech is the deal since you are conrod limited anyhow.

 

it's ridiculous to claim that the dyno charts and power band of a vortech compared to greddy tt is very similar. fwiw, ive had both. the dyno charts and power band are insanely different.

 

show me dyno thats differnt? check that thread in the shop builds. exact same

Heres the link.

And if you think that Greddy build is not typical of a stock block 18g dyno, then look thru the shop builds of greddy kits and find one thats much different than that. Good luck!

 

as opposed to an "internet racer" like you seem to be, i have done things first hand. i dont need to look online and read dyno charts. its simple, open your eyes. explain to me how my current dyno chart of 408 lbs of tq and 385 whp looks anywhere exact as my old vortech set up which made 348 lbs of tq and 405 whp. everybody knows the vortech set ups power band is extremely linear and lacking tq numbers like tt kits provide. why you dont understand that.... is beyond me.

 

i dont understand what. Open my eyes to what? That your trq curve must drop like a stone to make more trq than hp? That I made 405 ft-lbs of trq on a Dyno Dynamics? Thats almost 450 ft-lbs on a dynojet. Show me lack of trq. You can see my dyno in the post above, or can find the video and actual screen shot in one of my threads.

Just because you repeat everything you hear, doesnt mean its correct. Same powered TT's on stock blocks do not make better area under the curve than a properly setup vortech.

I completely understand that you did not want to put the effort into maximizing your vortech setup, but to say they dont make the same power as a greddy on a stock block is stupid. I've already proved you incorrect on at least 3 TT builds.

The only thing you did 1st hand was swap out an under-utilized Vortech kit.

I am not an internet racer. I had 100+ pass down the strip in the past 2 months nad probably close to 160 for the year. How many times you been out racing?

 

Let's keep this civil. This post is getting awfully close to violating rule 10 of the Forum's Terms of Use.

 

im not even going to read what he posted. but the point is; vortech s/c power band is totally different than a greddy TT set up PERIOD. theres no need to argue about it. its fact. dont agree still? oh well.

 

Deanfootlong,

If he was running stock blower, it isn't that good case to compare with TT guys. But he is runing Si trim. Which is pretty good to compare with stock build TT. I bet his blower makes more power than some of other turbo guys. It isn't really internet racer tho, dyno is good to compare the power band to other power vehicle. ( since we all can not meet up at one open high way or track and try each of people's car...) Just my two cents.
