DD or no?

[asianskater91]

jus get the habi si and if it breaks be prepared to pay EVERYTHING out of your own pocket.

"supa ninja" was prob the smartess one with turbos and such that posted in your thread, but you got all pissy and now he wont help you

jus get a stock si and go to college dude, why buy an already fixed up car, thats lame IMO...but its also better to learn about the car you are about to get

you wont know anything about the car you jus bought when it breaks and you will be taking it to the shop after every little thing because you dont know this motor or how it even works...get what im saying?

I'm done with this thread.

Learn to ******* read and don't get bitchy when you are wrong? I read the first post once and easily understood that the OP is asking about a car for sale on this site with a turbo, then asking if it would be reliable if he were to purchase it or stick to a stock NA car.

He never said he was going to buy it. He only asked if it would be as reliable as an NA civic and the answer is no. Drop thread.

3. I wasn't trying to come off as an *******, i was simply taking up for myself, he was acting like i was an idiot, if i had meant srt-4 i would have said srt-4, not srt boosted sedan, which i know is not the best way to say it, i should have said 2008 Honda Civic Si Sedan with a Swift Racing Technology turbo kit installed on it. Sry.
4. Someone please close this thread i don't understand how asking for peoples opinions has somehow turned around to me being an *******, jesus...some people these days.

you come off as an ******* because if you knew the answer you wouldn't be asking the question. people are trying to help and you take it as a personal attack. if you are unsure if someone knows what they are talking about, I think it would be best to look at their profile and their builds, or just do the research yourself.

that being said, since our cars don't come with a stock turbo, it will only be smart to be weary of someone selling a car with a turbo on it. not that it's not done right, but i don't know if anyone ever put a turbo kit on and not had problems. now if you were mechanically inclined to fix find and fix the problems yourself, go ahead and get the car, but if not, which one can assume is the reason you made the thread, just know that when things go wrong, its going to cost alot of money to fix.

[blackonblack]

Ya dude I recomend if your want more power go s/c I have had zero probs and love it

[ek2fg]

Dont ask for people's opinions if your gonna get all bent outta shape if they say something you don't like. Close this thread make another useless thread like this one and instead we can all post up positive advice n give u what u wants to hear, you'll buy the car, b!tch about it cause u took everyones opinionated bs. Instead of doing research...

[barrett4bama]

wow i tried dropping this like a freakin week ago, i have already bought a s2k why would you ppl bring this back up and start bitchin at me more, damn i said sorry, this forum has such immature ppl on it, i was tryin to be lazy and NOT research, dont ***** at me for it, just read it and go away if you dont like it, it took longer for you to complain about me bein lazy than it would for you to hit the back button and just not type ANYTHING. PLEASE SOMEBODY CLOSE THIS THREAD, JESUS.

Idk how to explain it, GO TEST DRIVE NE NOW...well maybe in the morning considering all dealers are closed because its 12:27 in the morning. Anyway thanks guys for everyones help.

Yes. S2K's are the ****. Just not very practical.

how can you say that?

sc your always under boost...


both applications can do damage and can greatly reduce the value of your car and void the warranty...

turbo and sc setups are a dime a dozen dude if you do it right you will have minimal issues its not something you want to cheap out on..

the way i see it if you got plenty of money and have someone (or if you are completely confident in yourself) you can do it the right way but it takes some serious dough for our cars...

I bought an Si because I wanted a sedan. I'm sure you get more torque with a rwd but they are impractical. I haven't driven one because they are pretty hard to find, just like the Si is apparently now. but i like to be able to put stuff in my car if need be. Did you get a hard top for your car yet?

yeah i rly wasnt worried about that lol, i dont carry many passengers

I think its funny how n/a guys come in here and give advice about turbo's/blowers, first off dude, you need to do some research, insulting SUPA, who is a turbo guru, wasnt a smart move. Dont just impulse buy, do all the researching you can, it helps alot.

Also, whoever said that your always in "boost" when your supercharged, is completely wrong, you need to do some research as well my friend..

wow ONCE AGAIN, why bring this back up again, i give up on this forum, people have seriously got to learn how to read, seriously. This was how long ago? I never insulted his expertise, he was acting like a smart ass imo and i basically said i didnt like that, if you can go read his posts and tell me he didnt sound like he was being a smart ass i will drive to wherever he lives and apologize in person (not really, i dont rly give a crap, im sure it didnt RLY hurt the guys feelings, im sure he knows there are plenty of ass hole ppl on the internet). Anyway i personally thought he sounded like a smart ass which is one of the downfalls of text and internet because you cant hear the tone of ppls voices, anyway if you read about 10 posts up i asked for ppl to leave it alone and yet you bring it right back up again, wow DUDE, wow.

its mostly upfront costs. Overall for the power you get with a turbo you would pay a whole lot more to try and get NA. Also boost is an addiction so you'll continually be upgrading stuff to get more. The cost of the kit is just a drop in the bucket, there are a bunch of supposting mods that must be installed to keep a margin of safety and reliability. research before you commit, that is the best advice I can give you. Making pointless threads asking for opinioins is not research guy.

So I reread your op, you want to buy a srt-4 and your curious if its a reliable car. aside from it being a crappy american car(froget about reliability) and if you don't beat the snot out of it you should be fine.

I read these first few posts going wtf...

[tehcodeman]

OP, not being a jerk here....just being blunt:

If you don't know enough about turbo mechanics and what a build involves, then forget purchasing a car with a custom kit already installed. If something goes wrong, you'll likely not know how to fix it in a reasonable amount of time without a professional's help. And labor costs to repair such things can add up to an astronomical amount. Stick with a stock or minor bolt-on Si, and upgrade to a boosted project car when you can afford to maintain one.
