Angry Just received my Greddy Kit/FMIC (KA24det) and guess what.....

I just received my Greddy kit and FMIC for my 1995 240sx (the kit is for the 96-98 but will work with some tuning) I spent roughly $3500 for them both and guess what, NO INSTRUCTION MANUALS!!!! WTF!!! The kit is really excellant quality but how could you forget to include manuals!?? So I called Greddy and the shop I bought it from and they both acted surprised when they told me to give them a fax number and I said I didn't have a fax at home (How many people do!!) Plus for $3500 I should get a hard copy. Anyway I just wanted to rant since I cannot start my install. Everything else is perfect as far as the kit goes, few nics here and there from shipping but it is to be expected when dealing with UPS/Mail. I will try and keep anyone interested in the buildup.

Take your jealous opinion somewhere else, I was merely saying for the price you pay they should have been included. If you open your eyes before your mouth you will see that Greddy is a top of the line company and should have included them.

Chernobyl, sorry I was asking for any help on the installation of the kit or the FMIC, I should have been clearer. I have checked the previous stuff and Reds input is really good but was looking for anything else that may be of help.

I was just being a jackass anyway, hehe.

I suggest you just wait the week or so and get the manual from Greddy, then follow instructions. If this isn't your first time doing this sort of thing though, I'm sure there are parts that are self explanatory. Like mountin the turbo onto the exhaust manifold and all that... shouldn't take a manual to tell you how to do that right. Sorry I can't provide specific info.

And installing a turbo kit isn't exactly rocket science, except perhaps for wiring up the emanage. If you lay it all out on your garage floor, you should be able to get a pretty good idea of what goes where.

GReddy pretty much sucks ass at customer service, so I wouldn't expect those instructions to ever show up. Ever.

Follow dude's advice above and download it from their website. But looking it over and trying to figure it out on your own would be a good step towards really understanding the basics of a turbo setup...

www.mohdparts.com has all the emanage instructions in case you need those too.

a kit is a kit. if you know anything about turbocharging a car, you can put a kit on without instructions. its like trying to put a bycicle together from scratch.

I know what your saying I would be pissed also even though I prolly wouldn't read them just look at the pics. But that is very shady of them.

Greddy Includes a Manual. You prolly got yours Grey Market and it was missing it.

Ok, just wanted to say that I did get the instructions from the Greddy site and have started my install. If anyone is interested I am going to post pictures of the install from beginning to end (I know I've heard this from too many people but have yet to see it done) So I am going to do it. It will be in the Tech section, mind you it will be very anal, in case someone without experience would like to learn. This is a forum to help one another so I plan on doing exactly that. Anyway thanks to all those who had something positive to say on this one.

Yea keep us updated I plan on getting this kit some day. I am reading as much as I can on the kit right now and think that I am pretty aware of the problems that it has (mainly fitting the exhaust mani to the block). I am really interested in hearing about how it feels, and please oh please do a dyno with a wideband when you are done, some are saying that the pre-tuned E-Manage is really rich I am curious to see how much.

everyone is bad mouthing greddy on this kit about fitment and missing parts but the kit i got fits perfectly and there are no fitment issues. The manifold might be a tight fit but lines up good. as for the dyno i can care less about a number, but like all turbo kits. they make it a little rich for safety purposes. the only reason mine is running more rich now is because my bov isnt recirculated.

It's a pre-programmed unit folks. What do you expect? Factory ECU driveability? Exhaust size, cam selection, year of the ECU, base timing, etc. all affect the tune. Chit, tune changes depending on how hot or cold out it is.

Deal.
