CHECK this out guys/gals. Just by looking at the low, low prices...it seems to me that this may be the west coast version of SSautochrome.

ebay

 

don't get me wrong...I do buy from ebay, too. I just wouldn't buy "B-grade" quality products such as turbochargers from there. That's just my $.02 on it.

 

looks very promising lol

 

I wonder if the turbine compressor housing will split in half like the SSautoshiets do.

haha that reminds me of a couple years ago when i kid said his friend bought a BRAND NEW ssac turbo and the housing fell off 20 minutes after putting it on the car. The thing was EPOXIED together!!!!!!!!! i thought it was pretty funny. poor kid

 

ok. cheap **** is sold all over ebay all over the world. next shocking discovery?

 

thats not really cheap compare to ssauto kits

ssauto kits are complete on everything you need or at least most of everything

 

Ebay has good ish on it too its just who you buy from because I never had a problem with anything that I ever bought off of there, and it was all original shiet, its funny how when I have my parts in the shop and installing them people sware to god that I didnt get my stuff off of ebay. I just wouldnt buy no ss auto turbos but I have some friends with some ss full setups and they havent had a problem yet and its been months, no im not sticking up for ss auto but I have to say its not whether you spend 2000 or 20,000 dollars its all about how you put your setup together , because I know that there is alot of followers in the import seen today who believe everything that they hear someone else say. Another thing that I find funny is half of these people who talk crap about ss auto probably never even drove a turbo honda in their life or for that matter never even seen a car with an ss auto setup onit , thats one thing that I can say I dont just follow what everybody else says ecspecially for my car . If I put a part on my car for performance and I can say with all honesty its because I experienced it first hand, and it always been like that with me .

Cant no body just walk up to me and say spend 1300 on a gt35r because it s better ,I would tell them to go and expletive theirself because how would I know its better just by seeing a car fly down the street with it or because you heard from your friend that he read that gt35r spool up early, no that would never convince me to buy anything because what might work for you might not work for me and thats what makes me mad about all the honda enthusiasts you guys are all follwers not all but most. Boosting a car cost big bucks, too much money to just buy a kit based on someones opinion or because a few peeople had defective parts,you can get defective parts from even the best manufacturers and it does happen Ive seen it and not off of ebay either . Also boosting a car cast too much to just buy any kit you see do alot of research first then you will be alright trust me then that way you would see exactly what I mean when I talk about the honda followers and the real honda heads who took the time and money to experience things first hand.

I had a ssautochrome manifold and it held up fine for me... but I dont go to the track all the time... car made 256whp and 178wtq... b16a2 turbonetics t3/t4 .63 ar 57 trim @9 psi... shitty dp, 2.36 apexi ws exhaust with dsm injectors tuned with uberdata... they are ****... but its a hit or miss thing with them... either you get a good one or your **** cracks...

 

well i heard they are ok but not above 5 psi. i also remember a while back ago the head guy from ssac said he sells high quality stuff and low quality, but it's the low quality stuff that sells faster on ebay, so that's what he puts out.
i dont understand....... why buy low quality when its going to give you problems and you will end up spending more in the end. a lot of people dont grasp that concept. oh well, to each his own.

 

what arent ok above 5 psi.. the manifolds? the manifolds dont care wether your making 1psi or 80

 

I dont know why people always think that it is the psi that matters when its alot of other shiet that determines how long the parts last . I researched on how honda manifolds crack so much and I was suprised to find out that eventually they will crack no matter what manufacturer you get them from. If you race hard it will crack I am talking about those fancy equal length manifolds they are good for power gains and all but if you have a daily driven turbo honda and want more reliability just stick to thelog type cast manifold. The tubular equal lehgths manifolds will crack one because of thethe equal length primaries the amount of surface area to radiate heat is a lot larger than cast manifolds,also the way the manifolds are made sagments of pipe put togethervariances in the consistency of the material promote cracking and the welds will be stressed through each heat cycle which also promote cracking. so a brace should be used no matter what. another thing its the high as revs that a honda reach too thats what will also rattle a tubular equal lenght manifold apart.

dude, psi does matter when yout talking about how much PRESSURE your putting through your system. obviously pressure can crack manifolds

My old Full-Race exhaust manifold is going on four years now on someone else's car. Has been making over 500whp since then. Has not cracked to this date. Same with the Neukin exhaust manifold. Dunno. Maybe they were just lucky If an exhaust manifold is made right (prepped, welded, etc) it will last as long as the engine itself. Look at Turbo-charged, Tony1, Blown90Hatch, etc. They all make over 500whp, use two steps, etc. and no problems

 

i had a customer drive from seattle to portland so i could tune there cars and the turbo was bad by the time they got in town. The very next day i had another from in town come in and his worked only to boost spike the next day and throw a d16 rod through the block.

No, that's completely wrong. Maybe you should think and/or research a topic before posting. You make yourself look like a complete idiot.

If I were in the market for a cheap(er) turbo, I wouldn't hesitate about buying one of those SSAC turbos. I'd just send it over to BLAAST performance and have them do some preventive maintenance on it.

There's the link for the maintenance rebuild.
