Complete Turbo Kit for under a Grand

[91-accord]

YES, no kidding. But does anyone know if it's any good? here the link for check it out

[10thcb7]

this actually loosks kinda cheap. For the most part I think its kinda ok, non realy eperiance tho

[AllWhiteCoupe]

I almost bought that same kit last month, but couldnt find and info about it, or anyone who had tried a similar e-bay kit. My dad talked me out of it though, couse he knows cars. I dont really know how bad i want a turbo thats made in china controling my boost, or risking my engine.

[91-accord]

If I get this kit:

I have a short block f22b (The orginal head was ruin by the cam shaft that broke near the cam gear. The broken cam shaft then took out along with it a chunck of the head (don't know the technical term)), can I put a f22a6 head on along with the intake manifolds as well? Also, does one klnow if the short block may be effected by the broken cam shaft? The motor has about 88k on it. How much max can I boost for stock engine?


Please be patient I'm hoping to take some pictures of the short block and the ruined head by tonight.

re

Well I am curious as well. By picture it appears to be decent in quality. But Not really sure. Price seemd really low for all that you are getting. Anyone know anything about this? My main concern with it would be more about the brand of BOV-is it a real SSQV?, and who makes the turbo?-Turbonetics,Precision,etc. Because unfortunately you usually get what you pay for.

do your research dude. purchase any ebay kit from a company on ebay, and your asking for trouble. the manifolds and the turbos themeselves are the lamest parts. so have had success though. use at your own risk. most of us don't have the money to do repairs if the turbo blows out something like your motor or tranny.

aww. that sucks!

that's why i keep my shit stock

[91-accord]

I think that motor was running on stock when I got though. A customer had their 96 accord tolled to my buddies shop. And he and his dad found the broken cam shaft along with the wreck head. They said the block is still good. So they replaced the motor. What do you guys think? If the head is wrecked, do you think that the block and pistons are effected?

re

Well my thinking after researching a bit is that it is mostly knock off. Probably like they said use at your own risk. I mean if the BOV is a real HKS SSQV, they run about $260 by themselves alone. And a decent T3/T4 is probably around the $450 range. That alone makes a little over $700 already. I have to admit though it looks decent. But looks can be very deceiving on ebay

YOU get what u paid for. Stay away from the cheap ebay turbos. IF u goign to turbo your car, do it right the first time. Safe your money.Do research, find how much Hp u want and what u trying to do and go from there. Cutting corners always come back to bit u on the ass.I almost went for the cheat ebay turbo kit. But after doing research, they said, the turbos are made from cheap material, the manifolds crack. I dont think u want to go to a car meet, and your engine, and turbo fall apart in front of everyone, while your girl is in the car

You can build your own kit for less than that, if you know what you're doing.

[91-accord]

DSM turbo would probably be the cheapest way out.

[deevergote]

For sure... only if you know what you're doing as well...

The commonly used DSM 14b is fairly small for our engines. It'll work, but it's not the best (small turbos create more heat).



Turbo CAN be done cheaply, but you really do get what you pay for. Spending $2000 on wisely-purchased GOOD components is better than spending $800 on cheap used crap, or uber-cheap "new" crap.

i would def

i would recomend piece together your own shit, i know its a little more complicated, but you will get better parts that you enjoy a lot more

on top of that I dont know where you would mount that gi-normous IC. on top of the roof? anyways good luck that is my opinion.
