i know a bunch of you are gunna say negative things about it...

but ive been handed a ss autochrome **ebay special** turbo kit for my 94 LS.

i dunno if i should keep it or resell it..

i want to hear replies from those who personally experienced these kits.......


i was thinking about putting it on for ***** and giggles...but if its seriously not worth my time..then i wont waste my time...

PLEASE....REPLY IF YOU HAVE HAD ANY EXPERIENCE WITH THIS KIT!

 

y take a chance> NO i havent had experience but i personally know people who have and lets just say it could have gone smoother.

 

I have had experience with this kit. A friend of mine had me install one on his car. It was fine for about a week then the manifold started to crack. He rewelded it and braced it and it kept cracking. There manifolds are junk imo, but its hit or miss with them. You could have one that doesn’t crack. There are people on HT that have had them and haven’t had any problems. But there are more people who have had problems with them.

It’s all in what you want to do with it. I think if you want to do it for ***** and giggles then go for it. But all in all it’s up to you. It’s your car and your money.

 

Turf the manifold as it will break.The turbo if you use a restrictor has a %75-80 chance of being good.The oil line stuff they show in there pictures looks terrible and im sure the charge piping will need at least some minor work to fit right.Other then that if your broke and or cheap at least replace the mani,get a Stealthmode oil line kit and go for it.The BOV's,wastegates[open it and check it] intercoolers are good and work great for the cost.I have never personally seen a SS turbo fail in the past year or two but I here of alot of them packing it in early so who knows.

 

ive had the turbo blow up after like 2000 kms.... blew oil out every section of it

the manifold cracked at least once a week and was the supported/braced model

wastegate had all the bolt back off and boost spiked...

downpipe cracked right in 2

blow off valve has MAD compressor surge....

ALL JUNK... period

 

ssac manifold makes power. but it doesnt hold up to well. if u can get it hold up it'll make power

 

i have heard the manifolds are terrible- but a lot of stories i have "heard" were on the old style manifold- supposedly they fixed the problem- looks like the weld em different now- tubos i hear are decent, i purchased a intercooler/charge pipe kit from their site and it is great quality. id say get a good manifold and you will be fine using all the other stuff. Why replace something that you havnt tried yet. you can always upgrade-

 

too many horror stories why take a chance????

 

why start another SSAC thread when there are hundreds already? Just search.

 

go to prostreetonline and check out the pics section. look for a 92 integra from a guy named Smoovy and check out his pics. he used some ssautochrome stuff and posted pics of the outcome.

 

sell it and buy some quality stuff instead

 

We are having luck with one of their turbos so far, just have to keep the oil pressure down.
