A Greddy T78 (ie, the T78 in the Greddy single kit) is not a normal T78, in the T sense of the word of normal T turbos. Ie. A turbonetics T73 is bigger (much) then a Greddy T78.
Also, for those of you that claim that going single without fuel is stupid... please clarify?
I mean, putting down 550hp to the wheels on stock fuel seems to be like a decent enough thing to do? You arent talking about chump change here either.... an entire fuel system is going to run you about $3300 if you buy it from SP.. thats almost the cost of an RPS single kit.
SP sells their fuel system for $2k (maybee more, i'm not sure) and that does not include any fuel controller. So you'll be adding a VPC -$900, GCC -$250, perhaps a VPC wiring harness -$300.
Saying that just because you go single you are going to blow your motor doesnt make any sense. As with any upgrade (even on stock twins) you need to make sure that you have enough fuel for the job... no different then any other car or any other mod.
For those of you that suggested the NOS.. thats fine, thats a good suggestion. I cant get NOS locally, its a 1.5 hour drive to get it... not to mention the cost. Sure, its INITIAL cost is cheaper, but filling the bottle is expensive. Not to mention, I can drive to the next town and do WOT the whole way if i want.. the turbos not going to run out... but the bottle will. Just something to think about.
I think Cedric put down 550 with a small single and drove the car like that for over a year.... we all know Cedric as well, so we know his word is good. I'm also at high altitude, its harder to produce higher output here... So i would need a rather large single to even eclipse the stock fuel system.
I just ran 120 in the quarter on stock fuel, including stock FUEL CURVE, no GFORCE, no SAFC, no nothing. The EGT's PEAKED at 780 (egt in the collector, pre turbo) -- I think that with a few more tricks I can easily get 125mph out of it... perhaps more. 125mph is no joke in the quarter, and considering that it idles and runs like a factory supra... well, theres something to be said for that.
Anyway, to quote a commercial...
'think outside the box' -- just because its not the norm, doesnt mean it cant be done.
