GReddy Street tC - Willow Springs Shakedown

Late last week we took out the #11 GReddy Street tC for it's 1st trip to the race track.  With the new GReddy Type-S suspension, Turbo Ti-C Exhaust and Tuner Turbo Kit installed, we got a chance to shake down our new 265 Proxes R1R Toyo Tires at Willow Springs International Raceway.


Check out this quick clip of our R&D / Driver Takeshi at the wheel, putting the turbo tC's suspension to work on the Big Willow Course...

Look for our 2011 tC in the FWD Street Tire Class at Rd. 1 of the Redline Time Attack season opener at the Willow Springs International Raceway on March 5th-6th.

Top Secret / GReddy CRZ Turbo Kit Collaboration

     TOP SECRET X GReddy TD04H Turbo System for CR-Z


Over the past few months the famous Japanese Tuning Magazine "Option Magazine" has been running some CR-Z Tsukuba Battles between two Tuned CR-Z to see the potential for aftermarket performance.  GReddy/TRUST Japan, was happy to work along side the legendary Smoky Nagata's TOP SECRET team with a GReddy TD04H Turbocharged challenger (tuned with e-Manage Ultimate) against a Supercharged opponent.


We are pleasantly surprised of how well matched the TD04H matches with the Hybrid CRZ engine for both overall torque, power and response for performance driving.


Here are a few pages from the articles (Option 12/2010, 01/2011. & 02/2011) :

Round #1 -  200hp Battle around Tsukuba Circuit
                         The Turbo CR-Z was boosted to 0.45kg/cm2 for 204.0ps (+70ps over stock)
                         The test driver loved how well the power-band matched well with the car
                         Best Time of 1:08.364 (2.264sec quicker then the other CRZ)

Round #2 - 300hp Battle around Tsukuba Circuit
                        The Turbo CR-Z was fitted with a strengthen engine and boosted to 1.3kg/cm2
                        for 306ps (+172ps over stock)
                        Best Time of 1:06.368 (0.672sec quicker then the other CRZ)

 

Round #3 - 300hp "All-out" Battle around Tsukuba Circuit

                       The same power setting, with more suspension, tuning, & custom modifications

                       Incredible Best Time of 1:05.795 (within 0.172sec of the other CRZ)

Stay tuned for more info regarding our up and coming CR-Z Turbo Kit.  Coming Soon...

Turbo tC build up update

From the start this GReddy tC Project's concept was to build a streetcar for the track, using components anyone can purchase. Or develop and offer products we need to make this achievable.  (Not a ultimate Time Attack specialist with one-off custom components, but a realistic fwd car customers could actually build themselves)

Although our Project #11 tC might not look too different on the outside, from when it debut at the SEMA Show in Nov., it has change quite a bit during our R&D testing.  Over the winter, we tested many turbo and intercooler combination and refined the production turbo kit, that we'll be offering and racing with.  We also upgraded the fuel system and tuned in the e-Manage Ultimate "piggy-back ECU." The Type-S Coil-over Suspension Kit was developed further, as well.   And for added safety, while on the track, we opt'ed for a 6pt Roll-bar with 5pt racing harness and bucket seats.

We'll have more details on each of these upgrades soon, but for now here is a little preview, to what's to come...

Next time we'll go a little more in depth with the new GReddy 2011-on tC TD05SH-18G Tuner Turbo Kit at it's base boost of  just 0.4kg/cm2  (5.6psi) and 288whp (that's a 118hp increase! so far!)

GReddy, Set, G0! for the GReddy tC

After building our GReddy 2011 Scion tC SEMA project, we were impressed by the potential of the new model.  ( especially, the more aggressive looks, the sporty engine and the room for some wide tires!)  So much, in fact, we decide to build ourselves something we can have some real fun with.   Our Total Tune-Up concept is to build an accessible 2011 street-able track car.  To do this, we plan on developing a host of new GReddy products like a Intercooled-Turbo Kit, Suspension, Exhaust and more for the new tC.  We will test and prove them at the track.  And then, produce them for customers to purchase and hopefully build similar cars for themselves. 

And what’s the perfect setting for our project?  2011 Red Line Time Attack Series - FWD Street Class!  So we also happy to announce, with some support from our friends at Toyo Tires, Ray’s Engineering, Sparco, OS Giken, Five:AD and Scion Racing will be challenging in the majority of the 2011 RTA events with our turbocharged tC, and our very own, GReddy Performance Products R&D team (with Crew Chef/tuner Shuji Komesho and test driver/technician Takeshi Aizawa)

So please continue to follow our GReddy USA blog for more on the development, testing and progress of the Number #11 GReddy Street tC and the GReddy Racing Team…
