So for the last 2 months I've been teetering and tottering about ditching my GReddy Turbo and going Fuji IRTB. I was REALLY close in going that way then some things came into play.
1) I fixed most of the problems with the GReddy setup I'm running. Namely, Vacuum leaks and oil return line leak. Car is running great now. I even put down 150 hp on the dyno @ 5psi, although we had to abort because the engine was running lean. I can start building up my GReddy kit - essentially spend another 600 or so, and have a GReddy kit which can probably put down 180-200 hp on the dyno.
2) The Fuji IRTB setup seems awesome, but apparently runs overly rich even with the subcon leaned out all the way. If I knew that the 1.6 kit would work without having to spend more money to get a piggyback or some other device then I'd be all over it like white on rice. It'd also cost me about 1k all said and done to go IRTB
So it seems that
GReddy Pros:
cheaper
more HP
bigger knowledge base
quieter
GReddy Cons:
cluttered engine bay
hot engine bay
it's kinda mickey mousey
Fuji Pros:
sexy
leading edge
more response
WAY cleaner engine bay
mecha tune is lovely
Fuji Cons:
more expensive
smaller knowledge base
less HP
potential for it to cost significant to get it running GOOD.
loud
My car will be a daily driver, with the occasional track day.
The more I think about it the more I want to go Fuji. convince me fellas!
