Super Street Magazine's Week 2 Wicked S2000 Build Up



Just last week the GReddy team participated in Super Street Magazine's first FB live "Week 2 Wicked" build up of a 2001 AP1 Honda S2000. The main power-adder selected was a prototype of our newly revised and updated GReddy S2000 Bolt-on Turbo Kit, GPP RS-Race 3" exhaust and Profec, electronic boost controller.

The end goal is to release a GTX-R Tuner Kit by Sept.-Oct. and complete CARB testing in the coming months... stay tuned for future updates!

For a SUPER STREET recap of the build please see:
Day 2   Day 3   /   Day 5 




 Day 2 at the Super Street garage, the GReddy team installed the GReddy S2000 AP1 prototype bolt-on turbo kit featuring a Garrett GTX2867R Gen 2 Turbo... see SUPER STREET Online for more!

Day 3 the GReddy team returned to complete the turbo kit install with injectors and the fuel management.  To optimize the performance a GPP 3" RS Race exhaust with optional Titanium tip and Profec electronic boost controller was added.


On Day 5, the final day, Super Street and Week 2 Wicked S2000 made their way down to the GPP headquarters in Irvine, CA to dyno and verify all the performance modification.  The 120hours, Week 2 Wicked, GPP turbocharged S2000 produced a conservative 260whp @ 10psi on standard 91 octane gas.  Thank you to Super Street crew for including us in your build!

Look for more updates on our new AP1, AP2 and AP2 drive by wire,  S2000 Turbo Kits coming soon...

Happy New Year! 2018

We are back from our Greddy-GPP Winter break and we are excited for 2018!  Let's start off the new year with some new GPP exhaust additions:  the Greddy Performance Products RS-RACE and RS-Titanium to our existing GReddy EVOlution GT, Supreme SP and Revolution RS exhaust lines...





http://greddy.com/products/exhausts/gpp-rs-ti/

For the ultimate in ultra-high performance racing sport exhaust, Greddy Performance Products is proud to introduce the RS-Ti exhaust line. GPP RS-Ti systems feature premium ultra-lightweight Titanium piping, muffler and tip in extra large 80mm and 76mm piping diameters. By utilizing intricate precision ‘inch-welding” and titanium mandrel bends to follow proven purposeful designs, creates super light-weight pieces of exhaust art. Improve performance comes through weight-saving and freeing up torque and horsepower through the high-flow, straight through design. High quality 2-bolt titanium flanges and sturdy stainless muffler-ring-mounts are used to improve connections and fitment. Each system is beautifully accented with a burnt-Titanium finish on the GPP-embossed muffler canister and removable RS-Ti tip. The secure tri-bolt tip mounting feature also adds the ability to take advantage of optional RS muffler silencers and different RS tip options.

Designed to target competitive racers, but also offer an economical option for budget-mined tuners, the Greddy Performance Products RS-RACE exhaust line is engineered for absolute performance at a minimal price point. GPP engineers utilize proven, compact, high-flow straight-through, Racing Sport muffler canister and extra large 304 stainless-steel mandrel-bent tubing; 80mm (3.14”) diameters for turbocharged vehicles and 76mm (3.0”) normally-aspirated race applications. The RS-RACE systems offer our most aggressive sound quality. To further maximize performance enhancements, weight-saving details, like: simplifying the layout and lightening-up the exhaust flanges and mounting hangers are also considered. The RS-RACE even features our proven removable Tri-bolt tip mounting system to allow for customizing the systems with a variety of optional Titanium or Stainless-steel tips and unique large diameter RS silencers to further control sound emissions.

GReddy to support the Scion Racing Mackin Industuries FR-S

For the past 3 years the GReddy Racing Team has challenged the infamous Pikes Peak International Hill Climb2014 with Ken Gushi and the GReddy Racing FR-S, and 2013-12 with Takeshi Aizawa in the GReddy tC2.



The PPIHC is America's 2nd oldest race. And this epic high altitude competition only takes place once a year, when the full 12.42 mile course is open to race on it's 156 treacherous turns.  Our racing team will be in New Jersey for Formula D Round 4. With our commitment to the Formula Drift schedule, we will be unable to field our own challenger in the hill climb, but we are proud to lend our experience and support to our Scion Racing teammates, with the Scion Racing - Mackin Industries FR-S (supported by Evasive Motorsports) in the Time Attack 1 category.
