turbocharger is the heart of an FI system, get something you'de be proud of and know it'll last, do not get OBX.

It's the same Chinese stuff that's all over eBay.

Some people have had luck with those turbo's, but IMO, i would just get a nice $800 turbo and a cast mani from a reputable company or save up and get something nicer.

The inlinepro cast looks nice.

Drag Race Spec. Axle/Hub Kit for Honda B-Series








OBX Drag Race Spec Axles are a definite must for any enthusiast that is putting up SERIOUS horsepower numbers. The CV design on this axle is built to handle 1000+ horsepower.
Our axles are compatible with the standard spline size on the differential end for easy installation and are compatible with OEM or aftermarket drop-in differentials as well as differential spools. Along with the axles are new hubs that fit the stock bearing sizes as well as new extended studs for installation. New ABS rings have already been installed on the axles.

Please note: The hubs are made for 94+ Integra and 92+ Civic with ABS or 99-00 Civic Si knuckles. If you are using these for a Civic that did not have ABS, you must change the knuckles to one of the above due to the wheel bearing size.

Everyone is pretty much going to give you the same answers as they already have. OBX is more or less hit or miss just like anything on eBay.

In the world of FI you get what you pay for. So would you want to pay 900 for a mani and turbo that will crack and start smoking out of the seals after maybe a couple of months and then buy another known good turbo brand for 600 bucks? I know you can check out the Marketplace and get a used good mani and t3/t4 for ~800 if you shop around.

Do it right the first time or don't do it at all, it's just a gamble, if you are second guessing it, more than likely it is not a good idea.

According to that Ebay post it says it's running a 1.01 AR...wow
