Im looking at betting a COMPLETE turbo kit off ebay from ssautochrome for a b16a and i was wundering if $1200 is just to good to be true. Gimme sum actual reasons i understand u get wut u pay for but im not a man of money

 

the welds will break, its a worthless kit

 

Do yourself a favor ,,save up some money and buy proven products..You can buy used stuff if the wallets empty..

 

its TOTALLY too good to be true.

the manifolds break, the turbos fall apart, so yeah, dont waste your money.

 

Yeah thats wut i thought.... well what is the cheapest proven to work kit you gut know of?? or wut is the cheapest way to go because i can bend up my own aluminum piping for the intercooler

 

hell go totally homemade, people post good numbers using a HF manifold with a welded adapter, and just get a turbo from a junkyard , just make sure thiers no shaft play.

 

my buddy joe says it's total ****...<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by veggiemaster &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">the manifolds break, the turbos fall apart</TD></TR></TABLE>
he built his own manifold and it is cheaper and much better quality than the ss crap.

 

yeah ok.... so wut wood the biggest cost be going homemade? turbo, intercooler, wastegate, bov, turbo timer anything else?

 

ask quickwhips how bad they suck

i've seen his car and it runs fast vids are up of her to ss kit and she flys no probs with it either.

granted i've been told flex pipe it or you see the problems listed

 

search search search

One of Honda-Tech's greatest resources is the search feature. Unlike many sites... HT's actually works and works well.

 

manifolds are crap.....my buddy had one..it broke on every runner

 

what about the turbos? it says its a turbonetics charger? im looking at the kit too and will most likely just refource the welds to the mani. but how is everything else? turbo? wastegate? etc etc thanks

 

you can do that but the runners will still crack...so its worthless to even have that manifold

 

i've seen one of the turbos fall apart on here. The compressor side housing split in 2 after about 40 miles or something. And that was on a "turbonetics" turbocharger.

Search.

 

Turbos are worthless. I'd rather have a T3 from a Volvo thats in a yard for a few years... with 140k+ on the clock than one of those rebuilt POS's.

Why do people INSIST on not searching.

 

ssautochrome is very poor quality. you get what you pay for

 

You can get an hf manifold for about $40 on ebay. Then there is a guy in the forced induction area that has adapters to fit a t3 or t25 to them for $50. $90 later you have a reliable cast manifold.
