RELIABLE
 

I am planning to go LsTurbo and i wanted to know how reliable it would be to piece a turbo kit together or how reliable it would be to go turbo at all. I am not a high dollar guy so just looking for advice before I start spending money and never stop

if you want straight up reliability....without any headaches or just want to save time...go with a kit....like greddy....ive heard people run that shit for like 10k with no problems...itll be reliable...just eithe rway choose quality parts make sure engine management is fully taken care of......and get a good tune

I have 10 K on my kit that cost $400, never once had a problem with it. So the key is to do your homework, and don't skip or go light in one area. And drive it sensibly.

Yeah my friend has a turbo kit for sale for $800. his oil line feed came off and put a rod through the block thats were the reliablity issue comes in.

Re: RELIABLE (hinds90)
 

if his oil feed line came off, then that turbo is probably fucked due to lack of oil

Re: RELIABLE (hinds90)
 

um.... ok?
like stated before, your best bet for reliability is something along the lines of a greddy kit or something similar.

Re: RELIABLE (wantboost)
 

cheap and turbo do not go in the same sentence....you gotta pay to play

Re: RELIABLE (Deckedlude)
 

no you dont, you can play for cheap, just usually cant play for long

Cant make a junkyard reliable kit for under 1k

go with GReddy kit, put FMIC and BOV if the kit doesn't have these, and don't go more than 8 psi ... &lt;- this is reliable. Oh, and buy it new !!!

if the kit doesnt have these then its not a kit

Re: RELIABLE (miro_gt)
 

No matter what you piece together, the reliability (if mechanically sound to begin with) will be found in the tune. Tune conservative and you won't have any issues. My LS-t was tuned conservatively and pieced togehter (The entire car) for under 4K. It was and probably still is very reliable https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif
