Stop by the GReddy Performance Products booth #21613 at the 2019 SEMA Show in Las Vegas.
Nov. 5th - Nov.8th You can find our 30'x30' display in the Central Hall (where Lexus was last year.)
Any guesses on what kind of car we will be displaying in our GReddy booth this year?
Here are just a few of our recent SEMA Show builds to look back on...
The Results are in the Oct. 2018 Dsport, Issue 198
With a winning overall score of 239pts, the Greddy Performance Products GTX2867R Gen 2 Tuner Turbo Kit FRS Challenger takes Win over the other Forced Induction challengers...
The GTX2867R Gen2 Turbocharger in the GPP Tuner Turbo Kit is rated for 550hp and is easily able to make even more power by increasing the boost level (additional engine strengthening required)
NOTE: For reliability reasons, GPP doe not recommend boosting
more then 12psi on a stock FA20 engine. Overboosting can lead to
premature engine failure.
To equalize all competitors, each car used the stock oem FA20 engine with the same: engine oil, radiator, oil cooler, coil-overs, anti-sway bars, brake pads, brake rotors, wheels, tires. They were also tuned by the same tuner on 91 octane.
THE GPP RESULTS
The GPP Turbocharged FR-S had the quickest track lap, the second highest dyno numbers(at a 4.5psi lower base boost level) and second highest overall Editor's Driving Impression score.
