hello guys i new to this so plz help me out, i am about to do a b16a2 swap in my 96 integra ls and my buddy gots this same turbo kit and is selling it to me for 400 let me know what u think is it worth it or no thank u in advance hope its worth it http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...87915

 

a b16 in a 96 integra? why not just stick with the b18? you could just do a ls-vtec and put that turbo kit on if you want, but xspower has mixed reviews. i personally wouldnt run their kit.

by the way, this belongs in the integra forum.

 

no xs

 

a down grade motor with an xs kit

 

y what is so bad with their turbo kits and im putting a b16 cuz the b18 is acting up and i found a b16 with 40k for 2100. what other turbo kits are their out there for around 1000??? sorry about putting it here i thought since the engine is from a civic i can get better help here.

 

there turbo kit is junk thats whats bad

 

for ebay turbo kit.
dont be cheap, get something that will last(quality products)
Ls-vtec if you are going turbo--more tq

 

do they be cracking, or turbo blows, what i just thought about is to buy the kit and then just upgrade turbo itself because i already got teh intercooler and turbo manifold and if the turbo sucks just go get a greddy or hks does that sound like a good plan???

 

dheck my sig i sell these kits..They work great if installed right an tuned..

I would like to inform you all how retarded this young man is. He has posted a sum total of 7 things on H-T, and everyone of them was an ignorent, useless, and uncalled for comment. He's full of misinformation that will do no one any good.

It's been proven time and time again that these sautocrome turbokits are junk. The compressor housings are glued together with lo-heat epoxy, and the manifolds are made of cheap bermese metals. If you search on H-T, you will find countless horror stories about how stuff just fell apart. So please, save you're money and do it right, one time.

And as for rippinitup01, you need to stop posting bad information, and stop bashing people over everything they say. Thus far you've mad an *** of yourself, and I'm sure very few people on this forum have any respect for you at this time.

Good Luck!

that is by far one of the funniest pics ive ever seen
im stealing it

 

Just FYI, ebay doesn't make those.

Once again, "ebay kits" have been proven time and time again to break.

If you have $1000 to spend, piece one together. Spend 2-3 months buying a part or two here and there, all the while researching what you want to do. Buy your turbo last so you have one that fits you. You can decide what turbo you need after you've done said research.

Shaniqua put up a nice list of stuff.

Another $500 for tune and install, and you have a nice setup running 8-12 lbs.

He should be able to find some one in his area to street tune chrome for about what I listed at the bottom. Ran a 13.4 on that setup on an LS motor
