so i'm thinking of this setup as my first boost setup.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...QrdZ1

almost a complete kit. then i'll get:
- an oil restrictor (a must w/ the SSAC turbos)
- IC piping
- DSM injectors
- a different manifold cuz H22's wont work on H23's and cuz SSAC manifolds are craappppppppppp
- walbro 255lph
- and chipped ECU w/ crome.

hopefully i can get a smaller IC, something like 27x6x3, cuz i only wanna push 6-7psi @ first, and that one pictured seems a lil excessive and i dont wanna hafta butcher my bumper support.

seems pretty legit, right? any comments?

Uh, I think you might catch a lot of flack for this.

All I can say is that you've changed the weakpoints and you obviously know about these kits/what you're getting into. I say go for it.. be a pioneer.. do this kit the right way. If someone says why don't you wait and get a Garrett turbo I'm going to e-slap the **** out of them.

Keep us updated.

maybe i will, maybe i wont.

cuz there's a thread 15 pages long of ALOTTA people who have had no problems w/ their SSAC turbos, as long as their using the oil restrictor.

and if the turbo happens to take a ****... send it to blaast for a full garrett rebuild for 250

wrong. costs 350 for the ssac cuz he has to change all the shitty bearings and shafts to real garrett counterparts.

This is like the exorcism of HT to get SSAC to go away..... no mater what we do or say it ALWAYS comes back... its like a bad rash or something

They are WAY too many bad things about these kits...... I don’t understand why someone says "well if it takes a **** on me I will just spend $350 to get it rebuild" or pay someone XX amount every time it cracks or pay someone or spend XXX amount to get it braced right (since they cant do it right from china)

By the time you invest all this time and money in it you could have gotten something allot better

ok up to you. i guess you got a lot of time to remove yoru turbo all the time or take it off to get welded. or replace stripped bolts etcc everytime you take it out. or paying for the multiple towing fees. i guess it comes down to . how much you value your time.

chasemyhonda

all these people come on here and bash something they always hear about.. and the people say that they did this and this..

Ive installed 4 SSAC turbo setups. and all i did was
1. brace the manifold.
2 braced the turbo the the motor.
3. Oil Restrictor
4. paid $55 to have the wastegate welded and secured. also welded the turbo flange.

Not one of the turbo kits have failed.
2 motors were blown because of lack of tuning and the stupid owners didnt think that added 4 psi would affect there tune.

So go ahead and do it. Its your money, your car.. expletive everyone else

BoostedEG6

Right,not saying that you're wrong.Here's my gripe with SSAC shitty turbo's.I have personally had a T3 SSAC turbo take a **** on me TODAY!!!!! It's still on the car now.I need the car for work so I will have to drive it like that in the morning.The seals have failed.That's after having the thing rebuilt TWICE now.Yes my car is tuned correctly.Yes I'm using an oil restrictor on it.That ******* thing is going to get a hammer to it when I take the thing off.I'm going to replace it with a Turbonetics or similar which wont fail on me like this pile of garbage! DO NOT WHATEVER BuY SSAC PRODUCTS!!!! THEY ARE A PILE OF CHEAP GARBAGE.The only thing that has worked correctly is the BOV.Even the wastegate diaphragm split!
Please learn by mine & other peoples mistakes.I bought mine not knowing it was crap quality(I had never heard of SSAC or XSPOWER).
Buy a quality name brand or you will end up paying twice!

Ahhahah, That sucks man.. Dont listen to people that back up this pile of crap turbo..I did the same thing like this guy who created this thread.. Asking all this bull **** about obx ramhorn.. Hella people said it was good on h-t.. man, I got that bitch on for 2 weeks... that **** cracked well i was driving home... fucked up my tial wastegate.. Lucky i was like two blocks away from home..


If u want to do something, Do it legit.. Believe me, its not ******* fun working on your car everyday. it's cool the first month, but later it gets ******* annoying..

Believe me I'm pissed off I have built the motor too,I had never heard of SSAC or XSpower until I unknowingly bought this pile of crap.The guy assured me it had Garrett internals.Turbocharged Honda's are very rare here in the UK,so bits are really hard to come by.I'm now going to have to put the car back to standard & run around without a turbo on a built motor.******* SSAC pile of ****,there's no way I'm getting new seals & bearings fitted to that pile of **** again.If I wanted new wheels,seals,bearings & a shaft it's cheaper to import a Turbonetics T3/4 from the good old USA

Love it when u get Honda-tech sponsors in here bashing SS stuff.(you really think they would give people the thumbs up for these kits, how much more biased can they get seriosuly, u guys think people are that gullable.)

Anyways on to the SS Kit

My buddy has been running one of there full b series kits(in his teg) for 2 years, now, he runs low 11's, without any problems, except axles snapping.........

BoostedEG6

well no one would bash them if they wherent compleat ****.......

There are WAY to many people that have had problems with them then there are people who havent had any problems......

Hondacivicnut

Well my PERSONAL EXPERIENCE is that the turbo I have is a pile of ****, end of.

esedulerp5tenin

yep, i did 0 research on this.
i didn't read all 15 pages of the "SSAC turbo" thread. and i didn't read about 100+ people having 0 problems with them.
i haven't been researching since june.

yep

esedulerp5tenin

alright alright - i see what your saying.
the ratio of pleased vs pissed SSAC customers is wayy too bad to gamble my engine on.

not to be obnoxious or anything, but do you guys approve of this kit?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...ZWDVW
turbonetics t3/t4 and mani, tial wg, hks ssqv, IC + piping... EVERYTHING for 1500.
i would just needa diff mani cuz its for an H22

DfwBB6

Quit it! Just get a Revhard stage 2 and ditch the FMU if you do go with Revhard other than that those other kits are bogus......$1500 for bogus kit vs $2500 for quality u decide

Runnerdown

let the cheapskates run their crap, and learn the hard way......you get what you pay for.

mikesta21

thought u wanted a kit for an h23? thats a h22, although it says a 23 kit will be available soon.
