anyone have experiance with any of those? i was lookin at the one for like $900. ary they any good? i will post a link if that is allowed here.... ?

 

show us what your looking at

 

what you guys think of this ..... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...wItem

 

keep saving

 

research, youre gonna need Fuel injectors, Remapped Ecu, Gauges Etc. check out Homemadeturbo and search SSautochrome or XSpower. I woulnt use the mani.

 

the mani's that they sell suck. my uncle bought a pretty big size t3/t4 turbo off of them and they shipped him the wrong one. the one he paid for is all the way in austria. he paid alot for it. he tried to contact xs power and ssautochrome but would never answer his email. so he paid alot of money and didn't get the one he ordered. xs power/ssautochrome they messed up and they won't answer my uncles email that he sends to them that says they shipped the wrong turbo to him. the one he paid for i sall the way in Austria. wouldn't trust them at all. thats my opinion/point of view of how that company does business. they been recently getting bad feedbacks, did you know about that.

 

do it right or do it twice. im warning you

 

I have never had one of these kits but I have read up on them alot. Do a search on them in the archived topic and confirm. From what I have read it seems like they are good till about a week after installed. Then things go wrong after that. Just save up and buy a rev hard kit or better yet, there is a used kit for sale for 1200 shipped here on honda-tech somewhere.

 

My gf's sister's bf (long line, i know) got ripped off outta $2000 buying a turbo off of e-bay. they did an investigation and got his $ back, but it's sumthing to think about...

 

you get what u pay for.

 

ive never heard anything good about xsengeniering or ssautochrome...
from what i hear there both complete garbage

 

well i think that awnsers all that i had to know about those..... and with that out of the way what are your top choice turbo brands and y?

 

yes the both are the same company. stuff they sell is worthless. seriously

 

I've heard good things about the JStoneStang kits. XSPower/SSAC are terrible Honda-wise. I've got a Nissan friend that says it is common for KA-T people to use an SSAC manifold. He is using one and it has held up well. I wouldn't trust them though, save some more.

 

Besides some crappy products,they have real bad customer service and like to send out the wrong parts..(SSautochrome,xs power,stoneracing)

Check out the feedback. http://www.toolhaus.org/cgi-bi...e.com

for a couple hundred more you could have gotten a peakboost kit or a used full race. or a fab-work or ccfab..............................the list goes on and on

 

my experience with ebay:

 

From what i see the only problem with the ssauto manifold is they crack from all the weight just hanging there. I can weld pretty good and for the cost savings i'd be willing to cut every runner off and re-weld and brace the **** out of it. I've got a friend with the manifold, T3/T4 turbo and wastegate all from ssauto on an built LS/vtec that did like 467hp to the wheels. and its been on there for a little over a year. For $150, i'd try one for a while.

 

Turboing a car is not cheap. I 've seen many examples in the forced induction section of cracked manifolds and blown engines due to boost creep.

ive been building cars for a long time, i wondered the same thing you wondered,

i finally bought a ebay kit for $900, the only parts that worked were the manifold, turbo, wastegate, and blowoff valve. i had to fabricate all the piping, exhaust ect. spent $1000 over that.

the car makes good power, but alot of headache...

Go to Homemadeturbo.com and read up. YOu'll save yourself alot of money.
