Thinking about a turbo for my 1.8 non vtec and looking at these kits from a ss auto chrome (stone racing) on ebay. Anybody running these kits? If so, how's the quality? Fit & finish? Issues with installition? or any other info would be much appreachated.

 

from reading posts about them when I was searching

 

One of the turbos were actually GLUED together. Stay far far away from them.

 

You get what you pay for when it comes to turbo kits.

 

basically DO NOT buy those XS power turbo kits.

 

That is what I have herd also, nothing but bad things. I build my own, This way I know where I am getting my parts from.

 

They look kinda cheap to me!

 

Set that money aside, save some more and buy a real kit. Those "Stone Racing" kits are 110% junk.

 

Not a good idea

I don't see anything wrong with SSautochrome turbos, but I don't know about the kits.

 

whats it with people and buying prefab kits..they suck ****!...do your research...and piece together your own kit...you can make a real nice one for way cheaper than buying a kit..also you will learn alot whole more...and for pieces that you need to be customized there are alot of people who will help you fabricate for a fraction of the price

and stay away from SSAC

 

Yes, SSAC is not the greatest and you do get what you pay for. revhard is a decent kit on ebay but its est to put your own together

 

Garrett is a very good turbo on the market for a while now. I only trust them. When it come to force induction, you must be wise at choose mods. What's your power goal? you want a turbo that laggy but killer in the top end or something that have good low end power for daily driving. Most Honda go through VAFC-hack. Here's a list of what you will probably need. 1. DSM 450cc injector 2. VAFC 3. 255 Walbro fuel pump 4. Fuel Pressure Regulator 5. old honda Resistor box 6. boost gauge 7. boost controller 8. turbo,manifold,intercooler, wastegate 9. custom piping(if needed) 10. BOV 11. turbo clamp 12. etc. that I forgot. Most of this stuff is pretty cheap to get just do the research. I've seen someone go through this way for about $2000. Save some money (ohh yeah, get the car tune after every is done&gt;&gt;&gt;very important)

 

NO NO NO, dont get those cheap turbos, SS AC suck, like most of the ppl said save ur money and buy a real kit, i bought my kit off rev hard, running good as hell. plus ive heard alot of crappy things bout them, you get what u pay for man

 

Thanks for the input. Looks like I will be passing on those stone racing systems. cburke, you have the right advice. I will put my own system together as the funds permit.

 

Here this will end all discussion on how good of an idea this would be.

 

Let's look a little closer shall we...

 

The turbo is junk, save you money and buy somthing worth it
