GReddy GTX-R Tuner Turbo kit

[kbye]

Displayed at SEMA, has anyone seen this yet?



Taken from their blog:

Other big news that we mentioned earlier in the year was GReddy's new partnership with Turbo By Garrett. By adding Garrett GTX-R turbos to our Turbo Kit line-ups, we are able to maintain top quality performance, with more power range options. Our first two GReddy GTX-R Turbo kits will be updates to our R35 GT-R Twin Turbo Upgrade and our FR-S/BRZ Turner Turbo Kits...

Looks like existing greddy kit owners can upgrade easily by swapping the turbo (and maybe downpipe?). Still don't see a BOV though... although if the journal-bearing T518Z could handle the back pressure, the ball-bearing GTXs should be ok I guess.

“Service availability is important to us,” says Quincy Tam, manager of GReddy Performance Products. “Customers who want to have their turbo kits serviced are able to send them in and get tested easily in the U.S. rather than a Japanese manufacturer.”

Now that GReddy is making a change for these kits to be more adaptable to the U.S. market, not only are they switching out their turbochargers, but they are also switching out their Trust wastegates to Tial units. This is will make their kits more cost effective and affordable.

Is there a difference in power? The Garrett GTX3076R is one of the most popular turbo upgrades for the GTR. It has a good balance between response and peak power, and can make up to 1,100 hp, which is ideal for street form.

“From kit to kit, we try to balance out what we used to have,” Tam responds. “We come across gains and sometimes losses, so it comes out to doing more work and testing. With that, every kit we have done thus far, has been getting better gains as far as response and peak power, but we will continue to test.”

These kits will be available for the Nissan GT-R, Scion FR-S, and Subaru BRZ by the first of the year of 2015. Upcoming months, they will continue development for other turbo kits for the Nissan 350Z & 370Z, which will also adapt to the change from the Mitsubishi turbochargers to the Garrett turbochargers.

This will be a great combo. For anyone who'd driven a greddy equipped car you notice the spool is incredibly quick with the short piping. With a gtx garrett and that piping it will be just a bit slower to spool, but hit like a freight train.

LOL I love this part: "and can make up to 1,100 hp, which is ideal for street form."

so other then switching to a garret turbo, is there any other difference between the old and new kit?

Doesn't appear to be. It's about time they did this though.

So it's a gtx3076 for the gtrs but what size turbo for the ft86 kit?

they were testing a gt28 with the greddy stroker kit when I saw it today, they changed the intake system as well to a better position.

Curious of what you know are you looking at trying (the new Greddy setup)?
I know you've had great luck with your existing setup.
