Cess's Greddy turbo kit

[shiro]

I'll be installing my Greddy kit mid next month and having FullBlown tune her. Was it difficult to remove the front bumper? I've only removed the fenders before on the FR-S. Thanks.

I'm soon going with the Full blown turbo kit, and on my BRZ I am planning on cutting the moustache/mouthpiece completely out to open up the front grill area for more airflow.

I found this part that I am planning on replacing the front cross beam with.

Not sure if it is as strong as the OEM brace, but it's something.

The pros: Short piping, Easy to install, Spool quickly, and feels great when I'm in third gear.

I just need to hit the Dyno.

I guess that's not much of a con at all after the install, but the pros definitely outweigh it. Definitely interested in seeing the dynos, since the avdertised seem to be good. What gas are you running?

Congrats!

Hopefully you can find a trusted local tuner as these cars really need to be tuned live and on the dyno. I know we're a hike for you, but if you can't find one, we're here and fully capable of tuning any FI'ed FR-S/BRZ.

was there any install issues with this kit? or direct fit?

a proper etune can still be well dialed. considering i etuned 13 cars ahead of time before flying to arizona then dyno tuning all of the in 2 days. i didnt have to make too many major changes. in fact the FI cars we the ato get on and off the dyno i spent more time on the NA just fine tuning random things i felt would make the most ideal power deliver on their 91 octance fuel.

you 'll have space for the Koyorad Radiator.

I'm quite uncomfortable about how much I have to notch mine so am considering options.

I didn't feel comfortable it. That's why I try to cut little as I can.

No. It wasn't difficult.

I was looking at that too. I'm still thinking about getting it.

You tuned my best friend's 2005 turbo tC a few years ago. His car was fast. Now he is back with a 2013 turbo tC pushing 320whp.

Toni I sent you some updates this morning. Once again. Thank you.


I made some videos last night. It's not the best quality cause I used my cell phone. I might post them up today.

It's just a quick video of the car running with the turbo kit. You want a video of me speeding in the city or something like that lol? I'm pretty sure you can make your own speeding video in a public area and post it online. Not me.

I might take my car to the track this weekend and maybe I will make a video there and post it up.
