I know you've had great luck with your existing setup.

yes I will most likely be upgrading to it once it is available or if I can get my hands on a prototype, they were testing on e85 so i'll have a good idea of how different these turbos perform.

They only changed the intake on the Mackin FR-S because they were able to. With the Greddy kit (updated), the intake will most likely remain the same. The issue is with the lack of space. What Midnight was looking at was a custom Suction tube that took the air filter to where the windshield sprayer tank sits. The Mackin car doesn't have that anymore, nor does it have a front crash beam. So this allows them to put the air filter there.

Greddy will have updates very soon. Stay tuned!

I was already planning on my setup with the Greddy kit when i get back from deployment. Cant wait for this updated kit now!

if i ever do go turbo, this is how i would do it.
especially if it gets CARB exemption! (i know, "dream on")

i had the T518Z on my silvia while stationed in japan. it was a GREAT little snail, nearly instant boost and had no problems holding 400hp at 16 lbs all day long.
oh i had some other goodies too but the turbo showed no sign of strain to keep up.
so if this garret is even better? badical.

It will not due to deleting one of the OEM catalytic converters.

well there goes that, then.

Shinchu, I noticed you are from Team Hinga. I am a friend of Booney. and of Ernie Fixmar.

I am also originally from Okinawa.



Also, good to hear this little 518 (or TD0518G) can hold 400ps!

Any updates??? Anoxious awaiting. I'm in the market for a kit...so far I'm leaning ptuning but word of this greddy kit is intriguing.

Primeraman 11-20-2014 04:20 AM

When I get back in country Im going with the Greddy. I stopped by Dynosty before I left for deployment and the highly reccomended the Greddy kit. I imagine its going to be even better with the GTXr turbo.
