civic_turbo_wannabe

I dont know, its just a cheap kit. I know i shouldnt by cheap but im dieing to get boosted!

well your really going to die if you can't afford to keep a cheep kit running with all the problems that it MIGHT have. I'm going hm turbo so I'm one to talk cheep but by piecing my kit together at least i KNOW what's going on the car and it's conditions. my kit will be under $1700 and that's with tuning!! shop around for the deals if your on a budget or take your time and buy it in pieces. that's what i have done
good luck

where did you find that pic?
if i had even the slightest hand in the production of that mani i would make sure all pics with that angle were burned to the ground.

I traced the image URL back to an open directory:

Scroll to the "22bseries" pics.

At least the seller is showing brutally honest pictures. That's commendable. It even looks like he ported out the bad spots a bit.

I'd take that over that shiny ****, any day.. Old School Rev Hard.. Back when boosted hondas were a rarity.

tekturbo

At least you dont have to worry about cracking.

civic_turbo_wannabe

Yeah that rev hard looks quality. Ive sorted it now, hes found me a shitty brand cast one instead. So i'll just see how long it holds.

And also boosted civics are still a rarity where i come from!

Do it right the first time and you'll end up saving money, and you'll be much happier with the final state of your car.

lol, you havent dealt with revhard that much have you? i used to be one of there dealers until so many of there manis cracked and i got so sick of sending them back i just stopped dealing with them, oh yeah that and the last kit they sent me came with an ebay bov and half the time they dont even have turbos in stock so i cant sell anything! very frustrating company to deal with, they used to be great, unfortunatelly thats all in the past...

Don't buy a cheap tubular manifold, the good ones start at around $3xx usually. If you just want a 300whp and less budget setup then there is nothing wrong with a cast log manifold. Central wastegate position is optimal, but my drag3 manifold controls boost perfectly fine with my tial 38mm WG.

civic_turbo_wannabe

Yeah, ive ordered the cast log style now. Al just have to see how long it lasts *fingers crossed* ey

Good lord. I think its safe to say POS in this instance. I'm currently piecing together my kit aswell, and as much as I want to be boosted, I am not going to sacrafice my reliabilty for money. Do it right the first time, and you will have a lot more fun over a longer period of time


PS- Stay away from cheap, crappy looking, shiny ****
