Okay this guy is offering a Greddy turbo kit for a 99-00 Si with RC 330cc injectors and a Greddy intercooler, all brand new for $3,000. I think its a good deal (am i right?) i would like to buy it but i dunno if it will fit. I e-mail greddy but thoes bastards never e-mailed me back. I dont wanna lose the deal so will it fit and will that "blue box" its that fuel management unit, think its called E-manage or sumtin work on the ECU for a B16a1? Thanks guys for any help!

personally i think thats too much money for a turbo kit that you wont be seeing any huge performance gains. you can get the same result with a bottle of nitrous. but if your going to get that kit atleast invest in a good engine management system like hondata and not those AFC hack type things.

oh and when you post something make the suject more then just '?'

For an extra $500 you can get a Full Race kit. The 'blue box' basically richens up the a/f mixture so it's a little safer. If you have that kind of money, you can piece together a much better kit.

gunmetal : the only reason you should be super interested in greddy would be if you live in cali and need to be able to have it carb legal.
otherwise having greddys name on a few pieces of metal is not worth the 3k in performance that other turbo kits can offer you.
if you are looking to spend that much money there are better kits out there.

I didn't know that hondata made a FMU?  You mean ECU!  :mrgreen:

What do you hook that up to, to limit the boost like that? the BOV? wastegate?

I heard installation is kind of a pain in the ass. Try to look for a manual for it. There's some vacuum line/wiring involved.
