Turbo D16Z6 Kill storys (for anyone looking at Greddy Turbo Kits)

TeamExodusPres · #1 05-02-2006, 04:59 PM

After finally tweaking my car and fixing all the various tubes that had **** the bed in it, I was finally able to race some cars with my new Greddy TD04H-15G turbo kit installed. Still running factory internals and only on the factory set 5PSi, I went on the road.

The first person I tried getting to race was an SVT ford focus. Apparently he just heard the word Turbo, and blocked out the fact that it only has 125 HP stock, and refused to race after repeatedly trying to get him to.

Next was an 05 civic Si. started from first, and he gave 3 honks (my horn doens't work among many other things). Took him through first no problem by half a car, but apparently they have a massivly different gear ratio, because i was halfway through 2nd when he finally shifted to second. In the aftermath, I had him by a good car and a half - 2 cars.

Next was ur classic V8 loving dirty redneck that wanted to race me in his caprice classic police car for slips. I figured itd be more of a race, so i declined....that was a mistake. We were going up hill, and he apparently didn't wait for a start, and floored it by me by about a car length when i finally got on it. by the time i was in third gear I easily had 3 cars on him....easily.

Then a Sentra SE-R Vspec wanted some. I figured this would finally be a good race. My friend from my car club followed behind in his stupid fast 95 5.0 mustang with about everything done to it but a supercharger or turbo. We started from a light, but shortly after there was another light that i stopped at, and he continued through. the mustang pulled up next to me, asked if i wanted to race....Now, of course i said no, but I'm never one to turn down a race, i just love the thrill of it....So, we lined with atleast a 250 HP difference, and of course, he smoked me horribly.

Now Back to the Sentra. He pulled off at a store further up and waited for me to meet up again. We got onto a highway, started from first gear. Took him by about 3/4's a car until mine maxed out....damn his 6th gear....and he beat me in max, but had it been a quarter strip, He would have been handed.

Anyone else got some good stories of there greddy turbo kits on their civics? Or any comments on mine would be great too. More to come soon im sure.

Awesome. Did you tune your car? Whats the dyno and times on it?

Acutally man, the E-manage that comes with the Greddy kit was pre tuned for our engines, its litterally just plug and play. Its bad ass, remaps ur vtec and everything just outta the box. I highly recommend it, plus the easiest install ive ever done. Well worth it. I know its probalby not worth much, but on a couple websites ive seen a factory quarter for the spec V is like 15.6, but im always one to underestimate my own stuff, so id like to think its runnin somewhere round mid 15s. And id very happy with that runnin only 5 PSi on factory internals with nothing else really done to it.

you want to get it tuned. End.

I'd love to see what it dynos at and id like to tune it, but i dont know a good cheap place in western pa/eastern ohio. Any one on here from around our area that knows where i can get it done for like under 400$ that everyone else is askin? I know thats a pretty good price, i just am strickened after takin the hit of the turbo and all the goodies with it for a while. Plus I hardly drive it, ive only put about 300 KM on it since i bought it (JDM SIR gauge cluster) and plan on redoing the engine as soon as possible, so im probably just going to wait until then to get it tuned so i dont blow the cash twice in a short period of time

Not sure where in PA he is, I'm pretty sure he's there though. I also don't know how fair his prices are by comparison, but I know he does great work.

Wow, I've heard alot about him, hes way in the eastern most part from me though, but i may go there when i get it built just because everyone said hes the best around. I've heard hes not cheap, but does a fantastic job. Thanks for the input!

Jeff Evans is one of the best honda tuners in the nation. That E-Manage will be useless to him though. To really see his talent shine let him go with neptune.
