“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.
