Hi im looking to buy a turbo kit for my honda civic d16 and the kit im looking at now it has ramhorns and some people tell me that there shity and they crack easly and some people tell me there good so im not to sure now
can somme one help me out please ??

and its ebay ramhorns


thanks !!

 

50/50 chance. Do you want to take it?

 

Also, Ebay does not sell ramhorn turbo manifolds. There is no Ebay brand. Vendors ON Ebay sell no-name ramhorn turbo manifolds. And the problem is that they can be made anywhere and can use crappy materials and substandard welds. There is no way to tell if you get a decent one or a purely crap one.

 

i dont want to buy them if its crap you no its a daily drive to

 

Again. There is no way to tell. It's like rolling dice. Get what you pay for. Go cheap. Get cheap. That's it's a daily driver makes no difference.

 

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/88-00...ories....there are the ramhorns it this kit

 

Don't risk it.

My buddy's manifold alone cost more then that. That's saying something.

 

And? How are you supposed to be able to tell from a picture? Do you really think that kit is quality for less than $1,000?

 

Exactly. Good quality ramhorns are pretty damn expensive.

 

ok so i better go cast manifold :p

 

Or just do some homework and buy good products instead of cheap nonsense catered to teenie boppers with part-time minimum wage jobs.

 

and is there a diferance in between stanless and cast manifold in performance ??

 

Are you still talking about Ebay junk?

 

yeah lol

 

Nothing funny about wanting to install garbage on your car.
Those are still crap.
Here's a real kit. And after that you STILL have to get your fuel system upgraded AND engine management taken care of AND a tune PLUS an upgraded clutch and maybe even an oil pump depending on the engine.

If you are stuck on cheap no-name Ebay crap because you're being cheap you shouldn't even bother posting.

 

im just asking man .

and for eagle rod h beam i herd theres not enough clearance is that true so we have to do somthing with the block ?

 

You might have to notch it. Do you know what that entails?
I hope you don't plan on building this from "what you heard". It makes no sense to spend that kind of money to build the block and then cheap out on the turbo kit itself.

DO SOME REAL RESEARCH!!!

 

yeah like i said im just asking im new to this :p

and are srp piston good to hold up alot of hp like 400hp ? because i went to a local performance shop and they dint no aout it :p

 

I have no clue. Did you try Google? 'Cause that's what I would do for every single question you asked and are going to ask. Does your performance shop even do turbo on Civics builds? If not, why are you even talking to them? Where did you get 400 horsepower from?

 

Before you ask another question you need to go here
https://honda-tech.com/forums/forced-induction-16/
and read every part of the FAQ. THEN go look at all the build threads in that forum.
If you do your homework the ONLY questions you should be asking should happen if you run into a snag which shouldn't happen if you did.

 

Fast
Reliable
Cheap

Pick 2 and the 3rd is what its not.

 

ok tanks guys !

 

holy crap...why do people read horror stories online about products on eBay, but still wanna be convinced that they're good?

Get on eBay, get a turbo kit for $600, it will be better than a Turbo Kit worth more than $3000. Don't pay more for better, pay less for the absolute best!
