Found a guy selling a greddy kit that comes with everything including ecu and injectors, I was wondering would it be okay to throw that same setup into my z6 without a tune? It came off the same engine.

Depends if the turbo is in good shape and if the manifolds in good shape and I would still get a tune it probably comes with a base map

it comes with the ecu set at 10psi, sounds like it's fully setup plug and play

you'll still need to get it tuned if you want it to last at all..

put the kit on and get it tuned.
i bought a used greddy kit and had to rebuild the turbo.
its worked out pretty well.

You can always send Greddy Turbos out to Forced Preforance. and they can rebuild then and up grade then a little bit.

IDK if anyone has heard of it, they are big in the Evo/DSM/Subi community might do honda work, but they build turbos such as FP Green, FB Black good stuff when you dont wanna spend a arm and a leg.

Yeah I was thinking I'd probably need a proper tune, I just don't want to pay for a tune yet, it's so costly, and the guy had it on his d16z6 too

Running a car with a turbo with out a tune = very risky! I do not recomend! It could turn out to be pretty bad!

you know what's even more costly?
blowing up motors

if its too much for a tune, maybe you shouldn't bother with the turbo.

This


But really Throwing a turbo and bigger injectors on is just asking for trouble with no tune.

Yeah I think I might hold off on turbo, or maybe even just not go boost, in fact I think it's cheaper to go b18. I don't need a lot of horsepower, just good enough to go up a hill. Around my area d16z6s are 600-800 so replacing one isn't much of a problem if anything does go wrong. But I understand how important it is to tune, I was just really curious about how reliable it is to use someone else's tune on the same motor with the same set up.

The GSr motor (b18c1) is the best engine to boost haha

how about moates ostrich or deamon on a b20b 10 12 psi with a 15g

those are tuning tools to connect a laptop to the ecu, you still need a bin, and you should have a wideband for monitoring.
and a fundamental understanding for using them.
