ok i got a 97ls b18b
and of course i plan on going to the dark side and getting a turbo for it. my orignal plan was to peice togther my own kit, and hopefully do everything myself. i plan to keep the internals stock for now, and probibly the injecters as well, so i plan to push about maybe 8psi.
i was checking ebay out and came across this.

what do you guys think..shitty??..
should i even waste my money and a kit like this?

and what else should i get to complete this kit if i get it?

 

wish I could knowledgeably (is that even a word) answer this question......I hope one day I could, but if you don't get any answers, I would try the Forced Induction forum, since this a turbo specific question. Good luck

 

yea i was thinking about putting this in the forced induction forums.
but i figured i would try here first..

yea hopefully one day i would be able to "knowledgeably" answer this question also.
lol

 

i've read those manifold's are sometimes prone to cracking

 

i've got a manifold for sale. I can have it sent out to have a wastegate flange put on it. it's a log style cast iron for b series and t3

 

ss autochrome ive seen those manifolds break off

 

ya those ss autochrome manifold suc they are prone to cracking so you would have to get it re-welded so i would go for a differnet one but it you know someone who can re-do the wells than its all you man

 

o ya my brother had it done or re-welded because he got the manifold for really cheap n he put it on a b18b and it hasnt cracked of anything you just need to make sure the welds that are on are redone to keep it strong

 

yea thanks for the help..i guess you pay for what you get..
and i just noticed that this turbo is a little too big for me..it will spool way to slow anyways.

 

Ya that deal is too good to be true. The turbo is the greatest for a honda, despite what the site says, it wont spool fast and hard. Id recomend getting good stuff right away, because u dont wanna have to replace your stuff if it breaks right away. I was gonna go w/ a cheap turbo and such off ebay but now Im just gonna do it right the first time.
