Wow nice and shinny......in for some #'s

Who makes this and how much $ is you dont mind me asking

[mike1970]

The kit is being imported from japan. There are only a few right now i have the first one.the price omg i hate to say $1600.00 for everything

that manifold is not fitting where that wastegate location is. this is what happens when you buy an Ebay kit. i wish you all of luck though, but you should of did a ton of research on here before jumping into buying something

[skunk2civic]

Yeah, personally. I wouldnt use this kit. But good luck and keep us updated.

[mike1970]

Not a ebay kit but when its put on we will see. I seen all the kits for 8thgens this one looks and feels just as good with out the big price. When its put on and dyno we will see

what brand turbo is that? ebay kit..

you get what you pay for, we just looking out

[I Vtec, do you?]

$4000 kits dont cost that much because the makers feel like overcharging the hell out of their stuff, they charge that much because that's what it costs to design and fabricate quality parts. That manifold looks like a cheap knockoff of a fr mani. Not trying to be a jerk, but you get what you paid for. A turbo setup isnt something you should cheap-out on

it looks nothing like the full race one. i GUARANTEE no wastegate is fitting on that in our chassis. it will be pinned up against the firewall

you have to think, the wastegate has to sit like this on that flange, not happening

[I Vtec, do you?]

Looks fr-ish to me, from what I can remember. Just more of a ramhorn design and not angled like the fr mani. And yeah, that wg port isn't going to work, I thought everyone knew that from those crappy cast ebay manis.

id plan on buying a new manifold and downpipe right away. no offense but it looks like that ss autochrome ebay crap. and check the manifold after it gets here from "japan" numerous people where i live bought these "super rare" kits, every manifold has cracked and a wasregate actually fell off one of these, and yeah id be very suprised if the gate even fit.

also, notice the surface rust where the wastegate bolts on, i doubt a reputable manufacturer wouldve used that picture to sell a product.

the turbos from these cheap kits can make power no doubt, its the reliability and length of use that gives them the bad rap. good luck though

[c_bongo]

and what makes the couplers JDM? or am i reading them wrong

[skunk2civic]

yeah like 300 hp lol

[Str8JDM]

im just telling you dude. from a person who has a turbo setup, ive taken out my manifold and downpipe like 20 times already. i am always under the car messing with these parts and working with VERY minimal room. i have a sense of how much clearance things have and this is just a straight no-go. i would stop it before it comes and gives you headaches

[skunk2civic]

+1 .. Listen to us man.

[Dblock3089]

agreed.. no name brand turbo= something taking a $hit on you... and there is no way that wastegate will fit.. like they said it will go right into the firewall.. if you look back behind the motor there isnt room for much.. it was a pain just to install a race header in my shop

[drivelikeyoustoleit]

that manifold goes to a B series motor.....




^^^^ are B18 motors - the exhaust manifolds are on the front and Intake Manifolds are on the back.... the K seires motors are the other way around... Hope they have a good return policy.

[c_bongo]

the intercooler is jdm also

[slow07fa1]

looks like OP is going to 'facepalm' himself for buying a crappy unknown turbo.
good luck with trying to even put it on, let alone take a $1,600 hit in your wallet.

[Str8JDM]

i wish people would understand that the cheap way out is NOT the way to go. it just means its the cheap way out...
