Another One!!! Gin Turbo Available in Journal Bearing + Tuning
Pepsi or Coke? Vanilla or Chocolate? Who doesn’t love options when we are shopping.
Sometimes one size does not fit all and you want to be able to make a choice when presented with some good items to pick from.
Today, we give you guys one more choice when it comes to buying the best turbocharger upgrade for the 11th gen Civic and 5th Gen Acura Integra. Only a few months after the initial release of the Gin Ball Bearing Turbo we are pleased to offer you the power pumping Gin turbo in a Journal Bearing configuration.
First, head back to where this all began and read our entire development process over the entire blog series:
Now, the Ball Bearing version of the Gin is still my favorite and personal recommendation when looking to upgrade your turbocharger. Maybe you’d like all that extra power but want a more wallet friendly approach. If so, you are in luck. We are now offering the Gin turbo in a journal bearing option which is available for purchase today. This is a unit that is capable of making over 320+ horsepower. We spent extra time during R&D to obtain pretty similar spool characteristics as Gin ball bearing and gave up just a little top end to accomplish this. This unit is coming to you at $300 less and is a great step into the big turbo world for many.
We are happy with the amazing results we have seen in the short time Gin has been out in the public and have documented many happy Ball Bearing customers who have all cracked over 300+ with Gin.
Dare I say it this is the best turbocharger we have released to date and truly is an accumulation of everything we have learned over the past 5+ years in Honda turbo performance.
Not only do you now get the choice of a ball bearing or journal bearing at checkout but we have made it easier than ever for you to get tuned. The team here at 27WON has partnered up with Ktuner and Innovative Motorworks to bring you a complete turn key solution when buying your turbocharger upgrade.
When adding the Gin Turbo to your cart you’ll have the option to purchase the turbocharger as a standalone unit or with a Ktuner V2. Next will ask you what kind of optional tune you want. You can pick between 4x options.
91 octane base map
91 octane custom map
E30 base map
E30 custom map
The base maps have been meticulously tuned and tested for months to get a reliable tune for the masses. They have proven horsepower and torque gains and will not trigger any CEL or drivability issues. Your Civic will drive better than from the factory and you will be wondering why the car didn’t come like this from Honda.
For custom tunes, you will work one on one with Derek Robinson at IMW to dial in your Gin turbocharger upgrade for YOU!!!! Basemaps are great but custom maps work for your city, your quality of fuel, your altitude, and all. It will be a tune that will bring all your performance upgrades together. It makes the tune and your purchase uniquely you. Check out the link below to help you make the best choice for your needs at checkout.
Gin is now easier than ever to buy and ready for you in different flavors. Whether it is JB or BB, Ktuner or standalone, basemap or pro tune, we have the solution for you. We have worked to make it easier to install and hit the road with more power.
We are excited to bring you this next evolution in tuning and want to know, do you want us to offer more “packages”? Would you like to see “stages” from us for performance? If so let us know in the comments below and don’t wait to get your turbo today!
