GReddy in on-deck circle. GReddy turbo for FR-S/BRZ first up.
 

http://blog.roadandtrack.com/the-ae8...-corolla-gt-s/

Kenji Sumino, President of Greddy, revealed his future plans for the FR-S. “The first thing on the agenda is a turbo kit. Placement is going to be tricky with the engine configuration—the FR-S is more of a front midship design so space for a turbo is limited. Now that we have some time, our engineers are going to be busy.” Besides boost, a host of aftermarket parts such as exhaust systems, intake kit, headers, lowering springs, strut bars, control arms, oil cooler kit, radiator, as well as accessories, are all being developed by Greddy. Kenji plans on offering a full engine part catalog to augment the turbo kit down the line.

Nice. I wont have the money for most of this but it will be fun to follow the aftermarket development for this car.

They should do a turbo build like they do on the LSX platforms. Reverse headers so the turbo is upfront, either right behind the intercooler, or to a designated side near a header or something..and then have the DP go down and around.

...will definitely need some sort of shield so water doesn't splash all over it assuming the radiator/intercooler wont shield off all the water during heavy downpours...weakening the turbo over time (hot/cold cycles..kinda like brake warping..)

Well happy someone is onboard already in the game. More competition the better for us as the consumers. Hopefully will bring prices down a little with more competition.

I can only imagine what will happen when this car actually hits the market. Next December we'll be having some crazy mad conversations :w00t:

I knew someone would come out with a turbo kit and curious to see how Greddy would make it fit. If have full TRUST in them... :D

How does a company like GReddy get their own BRZ to work with?

Kind of seems unfair to other companies without the connections with Toyota and Subaru...

They are private companies, they decide what is fair to do with their models.

Are they back in business? I thought Trust went under and it was the US sales/distribution side that was still in business?

That being said, they make good stuff. But $...

I had the old Trust exhaust when the muffler was flat black. I agree, they made some good stuff.

Looks like they went through a re-org in 09

Bankruptcy/Reorganization (Minji-Saisei-Hou)
According to various reports, by 2008 TRUST was approximately $60 million in debt and, after reporting a serious decline in sales since February 2008 and amassing $43 million in loan payments, they filed for Minji-saisei-hou in Tokyo District Court on September 10, 2008, the U.S. equivalent of a Chapter 11 reorganization plan. The U.S. division was unaffected by the bankruptcy.[1]
It wasn't until March 2009 that TRUST Co. LTD had successfully completed reorganization through Minji-saisei-hou

It's probably a matter of volume/brand recognition as much as anything.

Well, and staying off toyota's shitlist.

Just wait until SEMA next year and all the "big" shows they will be all over

Can't wait!

It's probably going to be "vapor" like the IS350 turbo kit that was @ 5 psi and cost way too much

This is good news. So much to look forward to. :w00t:

just wish greddy didnt use mitsu flanged turbo's i just like T3 footed personally.

Agreed. Comptech will make a fortune selling aftercooled centrifugal supercharger kits for these cars. Their advantages in pricing/packaging/installation will likely outway the horsepower advantage of well-sorted turbo kits in this segment.

I would lean more toward TRD (since it is Toyota's tuning partner in crime) so to speak

The greddy kits for the 8th gen civics were terrible, just saying. I'd be more excited about a full race turbo kit than a greddy one...

Most of Greddy's good parts and kits are for 90s cars. Their 350Z and Rx-8 turbo kits aren't so great either.

I too eagerly await a comptech supercharger however I'm not sure it'll happen. They really only specialize in hondas. Maybe if demand is big enough they're do one though.

Interested in the radiator, and oil cooler kit. I'll make my own turbo setup, not worried about that. Just provide me with rods and low comp pistons and I'm good to go. Actually have a turbo sitting in the basement with a Red BRZ's name on it!LOL

Let me guess, a .63 hotsided 3076 ;)

I'll have you covered on the internals...

i think that its going to be way to expensive for the power gains its gonna make :iono:

that depends on the internals and the block.

Open deck block, cast rods, cast pistons, cast crank, 12.5:1 compression ratio + boost = boom.

^^^ All Subarus have forged crankshafts.

+1

Is anyone looking at decompression plates for boosted stock engines, seems less labor intensive then replacing pistons.

The piston bowl guides the fuel spray, I don't know how the timing works exactly but this may not work.

Well the HKS kit has been leaked and it make 250WHP... So greedy has to come out and lay down the pipe... I have heard nothing so far.

Please don't ever do such a silly thing. Sure, it will lower static C/R; however you will completely ruin your combustion chamber efficiency. Quench is a good thing!

why everyone excited for greddy kits, they are usually way to over priced and make half the gains of other alternative companies. For Example Full Race gets an rsx to 450 hp for the price of the greddy kit that gets you to 250-300 at most.

where is this info?

I saw these in the scion drifting FRS video, thought I'd post them up in this thread too

http://www.ft86club.com/forums/attac...1&d=1333546866

That's a purpose built car for drift and from what I recall is 600hp. You don't really think that thing is stock do you?

It's a built EJ257. It has nothing at all to do with a turbo kit for the FA20.

You guys all make me laugh.

For months, this is all I've seen from people on this forum:

Now we have an inkling that there will be a quality turbo kit offered by a reputable manufacturer, and all you can do is bitch?

I guess it's time for me to start selling turbo kits on eBay for all the yod00ds on this forum:

500whp capability! No forged internals or ECU tuning needed! Yours for just $799 plus shipping from Taiwan!*



*buyer assumes all responsibility for installation, voiding of factory warranty, and engine damage as a result of purchasing/installing this kit. No returns accepted. Call 1-800-NOO-HELP for customer support.

I understand your sentiment, but a lot of the complaints are pretty legitimate as far as Greddy is concerned. The only thing they are really good at is product placement, i.e. first to market. Other than that dollar per gain is pretty lackluster compared to offerings from other companies that piece together really good kits.
Most important thing is, Yay! looks like the aftermarket is building up for this car pretty nicely and it isn't even released yet.

I like this guy:laughabove::bellyroll:

I agree completely. I'd wait on the specialists to come to market. At 3MI Racing, I do internals for Subaru's and that's it. I've been talking with my buddies at Full Race, Cobb, Deatchwerks, Turn In Concepts, Kartboy, etc...we're all just waiting for the ball to drop. We don't have our respective cars yet to whore out our products ;)

Give it time.
