Im looking for 200 whp too
|
I need to crank up the boost on my Greddy
|
Well I would say ditch the vortech, get some injectors and MS and a wide band, and you should be good to go. There are many people on here making more than 200whp with the Greddy turbo, I was one of them but I just sold mine and am cooking something else up. I just cant stand having parts on my car that I didn't make.
|
Nice, Thanks for the info.

My sig will get you around 240-250 with aroun. 18 deg at 15psi
|
Count me in the "Greddy over 200hp club" too. If I had it to do all over again I'd have taken a different path, but the Greddy is a good learning experience since you end up replacing everything anyway.
|
i enjoy the fact that my greddy turbo hasn't shit itself, probably would have gone though a couple fancy BB GT turbos by now. 200whp is easy to get
|
Honestly we are making more whp with our greddy than 90% of the people here. I don't know why people talk so badly about the greddy kit.
If you buy a greddy mani, greddy turbo, a 2 1/2 dp, new hardware and oil lines and IC you could have a pretty cheap and good set up |
I got rid of my Greddy because I wanted more power, I wanted to fab up a turbo manifold for a miata and I had a bigger turbo sitting around. So that coupled with the fact that a friend wanted my Greddy all made to much sense to ignore the fact that it was time to build a new set up. Anyways enjoy!

Not only is it a decent turbo attached to a nearly worthless kit which you can find cheap every other week...but that turbo with some decent management, an IC, and a real downpipe and exhaust is the perfect power level.
I'm sitting at a little over 200whp now...and every time I think about turning it up a little I think of everything else I'd need to replace. I can envision tranny exploding, rods bending, the works. 200-225 is a real comfortable power level. Get the kit, upgrade it, be happy. |

Rods bending always crossed my mind but with a 1.6 I'll just buy a used motor for $100 and call it a day
Every time I think about a motor swap I know I'll get carried away with it. I'll start with a refresh...then start porting/polishing...and end up forged. Water injection is just easier than the prospects of another garage motor swap (did one last Nov). |
Don't forget you'll eventually blow up your 1.6 differential at that power level. My VLSD blew up after only 2 autocross events.

Problem is that a lot of n00bs get the Greddy new (like my dumbass did) and then end up paying $1300 for, once everything's been replaced, a journal-bearing turbo and a log manifold. So basically it's ok as a setup but sucks as a kit, IMHO.

I wouldn't call it a mistake more of a good learning experience.

Exactly what I thought when I had my 1.6 FM2.

I'm getting a Greddy kit soon as payment for doing some website work. I like the fact that it's CARB legal. But.. i don't like the fact that it's only 150hp. I would like to make 200hp to the wheels.
But.. i'm a noob, and this is all just me asking stupid questions and learning from you guys. So.. tell me if this is what i need to make 200hp. 1. Greddy kit 2. Intercooler + piping 3. 1.8 injectors 4. AEM FIC + harness. I plan on using the AEM instead of megasquirt cuz this will be just a daily driver with no track plans. I think in my situation, a MS would be overkill. What else would i need? and how much psi should i be pushing to get 200hp? |
