Default is this worth getting?

Hey, I currently have a 92 DB integra rs...bone stock except the AEM short ram intake I recently put in... I would like to know if this would be a decent enough upgrade to the stock pieces I have. I would much rather a skunk2 or greddy but being a full time student working part time hours... it's kinda hard to rack up that money for that!

Thanks for any comments

no

on another note. there's not much you can going n/a in a da. just save $$ and either

1. get a home made turbo kit
2. go lsvtec
3. swap in a gsr/itr/b16/k20/b20/etc.

if you really want power. other then that, you're just making yourself a target for your local police enforcement

the track record on those manifolds has not been a good one, see that pipe with the wastegate on it, those are known from becoming brittle and snapping off, and the wastegates are also iffy too. but i know about 5 people with ebay turbos and other things off ebay and have not had one problem.

personally i think those manifolds are plain

i disagree. i have IHE some crower cams waiting to be isntalled a b16 tranny. and that is a decent amount of power to roll around with for a da. it isnt big numbers but its decent compared to stock.

also that turbo kit isnt a full kit. no intercooler/piping/bov

If your asking that question, I would suggest you do somemore research but there are various online dealers and prob even some on this site that sell pieces of kits..

Ebay + turbo kit....that's never a good combo

if you're going to boost your DA, look in the Sponsor's classifieds
