VRSF or Greddy?

[johnovision27]

Short and sweet, just like the title.
VRSF or Greddy 24V? I currently have the VRSF on there, but I miss the foglights, replacing my powerade bottle is becoming a hassle (haha), and I can get a 24v kit for cheap.
I'm not concerned about the cost, so please lets skip the lectures on that matter. My concern is performance (long vs short route piping), quality of heat transfer, etc.

Powerwise, I'm not looking to make much over 400whp. Also, I've made a housing for the front bumper which directs all the air through the VRSF core, so does the 24V fill the whole opening?

Cheers.

This is easy, considering the GReddy is a worthless piece of crap with 82 miles of piping and a junk core.

I have a Greddy long route.. I hate it.

 

[D's GS-T]

Vrsf.

 

[JAX2Ganey]

Greddy is crap. If youre not worried about pricing, there are plenty of options. VRSF.

ill pay for you to ship it to me

 

[phunny]

VRSF easily.

 

[dsmpat95]

Vrsf is a good short route also.

I liked my Greddy when I had it. You might loose a little, won't matter unless you're chasing the 1/4 mile everyday. If you're talking about the one on DSM.org I'd get it, it's minty new, and for that price it's a steal. Won't last long.

If your worried about the fogs, why not a Punishment Racing IC?

Just my .02.

^^ Agreed.

^^ Agreed.

+2. A friend of mine has a punishment FMIC. His intake temps stay about 10* under ambient temperature usually. Unless he's racing of course.

Insanely expensive but it's a great choice if you got money...however with the size of the endtanks I don't think it solves the foglights problem

To the op I say stick with the vrsf. Fab up some brackets for the foglights

 

[Boomdeeze]

The PR is a good kit, I run it right now. Only reason I am wanting to switch to the VRSF is the super short piping route. I am trying to quicken the 1/4 mile time or else I would stay with the PR kit.

 

[bradselph]

Punishment FTW!

Fit perfect and is a short route, oh and did i mention you keep your fogs.

Exactly the one I was talking about. Haha.
I'll sleep on it and see what happens.

 

[jrohner]

Greddy = ricer brand

 

[volkerding95GSX]

VRSF or Punishment. Research both and chose one.

 

[TJCTalon]

Switched my PR FMIC to the VRSF FMIC.

The VRSF is the best imo. Easily change BOV, larger core, and short route.

Only complaint thus far, which isnt really the intercoolers fault, is the throttle body elbow flange is aluminum. So if you take your elbow or TB off often, the flange gets warped, and not flat. Wish it was made out of SS but oh well.

VRSF FTW

 

[johnovision27]

Thanks for all the input. I'll be sticking with my VRSF one as it seems to be a popular item.
Only issue down the line is installing the magnus intake manifold, I'll have to cut and reweld the TB elbow.

Also, by sticking with the VRSF, I'll be able to install some form of cold air routing for the air filter through the stock piping hole.

Ok..

Really? I'd like to see this.

Your understanding of heat transfer = null.

I have a Greddy long route.. I hate it.

i hate the greddy long route as well.... HATE IT ALSO.... if cost isnt an issue i know this is off topic, but how about an ETS FMIC? if cost isnt an issue... i was gonna go with that but im going with VRSF because its cheaper and raited for more CFM's

anyone know the heat transfer and pressure drop of the VRSF? and anything to back that up?

Thread has been resolved already.... Didn't you have a thread on intercoolers already discussing FMICs? ETS is a great intercooler if you want to spend the money.
