Hi,

I have a relatively stock 98 gs-r and thinking of going turbo. What do you guys think of this turbo kit for 930$.

everything else looks OK. I mean, IMO, piping doesn't matter, it's just a mandrel bent tube. The BOV looks fine, but I would ask about that turbo, and the wastegate. That looks like a master power turbo. And if that thing next to the BOV is a wastegate, I'm not too sure. Just find out what kind of wastegate and turbo you will be getting. Don't just ask for the brand, make sure he gives you a part number and the specs on the turbo and wastegate. Also, I don't know about that manifold. And I don't see any fuel management stuff in there. How are you going to get more fuel when your motor start making boost? What size injectors are you running? That is a very bad pic of the kit. I would be careful.

 

thats a 600 dollar ebay turbo kit they are seling for a grand. Its no wonder shops keep going under. Stick with name brand parts man trust us

 

Yup, it's another eBay kit right there. What a terrible picture too, shaddy is what you have to be thinking. Stay far away from these 'kits'.

 

well i had a customer who told me about this thread. so i thought id come on here and see whats going on.

i sell these turbo kits here at my shop, and have never had any complaints or issues with the kits or with my customers. ive actually gotten a lot of referrals by customers to friends and family members for my kits.

these kits i dont get from ebay or any company affiliated with selling on ebay. but i deal with a direct supplier who imports them.

just like any brand name and non brand name products they are all sold on ebay just like many of you know.

well im not an ebay seller. i sell locally and ship all over the US with our products. and our turbo kits like the one pictured comes with a cast iron manifold which no worry about it cracking. even comes with warranty. and with our kit you can keep ps and ac. like i said i havent had any issues with our kits. if i did i wouldnt sell them because i would sell a crappy product that would come back to bit me in the a**.


if you have any questions about our kits or any products that we sell please feel free to contact us at any time. thanks


the kit does not come with a any fuel management or injectors. just comes in with the basic bolt on kit. all we need to know is what motor you have and car. so that we know what piping to send you. its a basic bolt kit but does come complete with everything your going to need, need to clamps hoses gaskets and bolts.

also you can see one of our customers cars. was a civic ek hatch with a stock gsr motor with our turbo kit boosting 9 psi.

well just let me know if anyone here is interested. also price includes shipping to your door just so you know.

 

soooo...what brand are these parts?...

 

So you purchase these for less then what the average joe can pick them up for on ebay, and then sell them for 400 bucks more then that?

??

Enlighten me with the warranty process? Do you personally install the new product for the customer? Or do you have them deal with your supplier? Are you going to be in business 6 months down the road when the turbo blows up?

It is so hard to understand what you are typing, but from this I gather that you claim its a 100% bolt on with everything needed? I see a few things that are missing there...


OP just spend 700 on here for a used drag kit and call it a day. trust me

 

from where?

everything you need to blow your motor...

That is a flat out lie. There is no way anybody can make 292 HP with that turbo "kit", and here is why:

1. GSR injectors are not capable of supporting that much HP. GSR injectors flow at a max rate of 235cc/min. That equals about 50 HP (max) per injector. That would be at 100% duty cyle. 4 x 50 = 200.

2. GSR ECUs are not capable of compensating for boost without an aftermarket FMU and MAP sensor bypass valve or some other type of fuel management system.


3. Do not come onto HT and try to manipulate our readers by making the implication that your turbo "kit" is a 150 WHP increase bolt-on "kit"

I'm thinking that your turbo "kit" and business is about as bad as your grammar and spelling, so thanks, but no one here is interested in your bolt-on motor blowing kit.

One last thing, you might want to find a new tuner, because that HP curve looks about as good as Britney Spears a few years back...

 

Those kits are crap and the people who sell them are scammers in my book. Stay away from them if you want something reliable. If you read the FI FAQ at the top of the forum, there are several threads about the lack of quality of these parts. They're under $1000 for a reason...

It's like buying a shopping cart instead of a car...just because they both have 4 wheels, doesn't make them the same thing...lol, i love my shitty analogies

 

Same **** as the ebay turbo kits except you mark up the price quite a bit. Your such an idiot for coming on here and trying to justify your kit being better than an ebay kit. Maybe your average MORON kid would fall for your BS but most of us see right through you. There is nothing different about your kit. You can find that EXACT kit on ebay for hundreds less. So what you get it direct, it doesn't make it any better. Also, your warranty doesn't mean **** if you don't install it and even then I am sure you'll find a way to not honor the warranty.

 

Why other sellers start from $4,000? There will be a reason. Manufacturer of garret's and bulleye's turbo in china seels the same product startin from $400 only for the turbo.
How can came with $200 more a complete turbo kit?Importing will be about 20% cost on the value of final product so i think the value of his kit it's around $300+ import + charge=600$. Why a air/air ic starts fro 300$?
There will be a reason for this too low price. The thickness of materials a quality of the casting is very important for a manifold, like the thicknees and the quality of piping and ic.
I don't see oil return line.
In my country we use to say that who more spend less will spend.
compare product from full race, sls, afi with this kit and u will see the difference....

I 'm not a guru's turbo but it's enough looking at kit. I wonder if u need a replacement part, will they have it choosing from part n# list, or it's from the magic box.
i don't belive in this kit once u're planning to use the for a little period....

 

 

That guy isn't going to try to come back here and stand behind his product. It would be like trying to use a piece of cardboard as a bulletproof vest. haha

 

eBay kit FTL. Spend the money and do it right the first time. Sick of seeing cars fail because of cheap parts.
