Probably a age old question 'round here but i am about to take the FI plunge and i wanna get the most i can. I am aiming for a sic street car with some strip action on the weekends. So whats the verdict??...Do i get the turbonetics or the greddy twin kit??

 

Greddy twins. I was going to purchase the turbonetics ST, but for some reason i feel like i was going to get the greddy twins later so i'm just waiting for now. You will need a substantial amount of money for the greddy setup if you want it done right.

 

most people will prob say greddy twins, check out the FI forum and read there

 

more turbos, more mass air flow, more POWER (at lower boost levels too!). it all depends on your horsepower goal really

 

Stillen S/C without a doubt...edit, this is Alberto BTW Im over a friends house.

 

the main question will be are you going to stick with a stock turbo install or upgrading it? Will you get addicted to the boost and want to keep cranking it up or just install it and forget it? How much are you willing to spend?

Answers to each of these questions will point you in the general direction you should go. Basicly, a ST is a good place to start, but if you want "almost' unlimited potential for power growth... Greddy TT is a good choice. BUT... I think the upgraded JWT setup will produce even more power
Just my .02 cents of course.

 

Turbonator... 4 of them.

 

Depends on your budget really.

 

Have you looked into the Jim Wolf kit?

 

I believe he's looking for an affordable 5-6k turbo option. The only single turbo you should ever buy for your car is the APS, other kits (as most have experienced) have "issues" but i can let others elaborate. However, if you are limited to those two choices, Greddy TT FTW!

 

dude go turbonetics so you can show everyone the big shiny turbo sitting right in your engine bay...who cares if it doesn't work as well!

you don't really see any posts of people regretting going greddy

 

Go GReddy, be happy now (and later if you ever decide to build your engine and realize you don't have to buy another kit).

 

+1 for the greddy, after changing my mind multiple times I have found that it's prob gonna be the best possible kit for the $$ but APS does make a very nice single turbo kit. I am only two months away from bost!!!

 

From someone that has experianced all the kits from both a drivability, install, and reliability standpoint the Greddy is the best "Bang for the Buck" when it comes to meeting all of those standards. It also has a ton of headroom when you decide to build the motor. Is you're not looking for a rediculous amount of power then the APS Single w/ upgraded extrenal wastegate pipe is a great choice. Its at about the same price point of the Greddy but there is less labor involved in the install.

Shameless Plug Time! Remember we also have our 1 Year Unlimited Mile Stock Motor FI Warranty!

 

Damn you charles cause thats what i have and i thought i was the only one.

 

Thats a good one dan.

 

My pervious turbonetics had problems

-melted the modified ac line
-wastegate downpipe (flex-pipe) cracked twice
-exhaust leak from one of the brackets bolted down- it broke off leaving a hole
-previously, turbonetics's T3/T4-60 had oil seals going out... but they have addressed that problem i believe.

Power Enterprise, from my experience, required no fixes-as is, runs great and spools fast !

 

damn....guess its the greddy kit!!!! I am looking to spend5-6k and have headroom left for when i build the bottom end.... Thanx alot for all your imput and have led me to get the greddy....

 

Good luck getting a greddy installed and tuned for that price...do some research. 5-6k and you wont get more than a turbonetics or APS ST and thats not including upgrading teh emanage, or exhaust. Full twins you are looking at between 10-13 and thats without doing any internals to the engine.
Unless of course you are going to run teh greddy kit, without the intercooler, wihtout any gages, with the stock clutch, without an exhaust, on the emanage blue, without a tune...
You my friend seem like a good candidate for the turbonater/interfooler combo.

 

hahaha.

or instead of a Stillen , he could take my ATI off my hands.
