Turbo Motor Idea

What Up ClubCivic!

I just wanted to run this past you all as well, Sorry about linking to another site but I did not want to type all that stuff again. I got a cramp and this is killing me.

I think this idea is sound but lets hear what you guys think.

Hit me back,

I don't want to sound mean, but...

Valves from ebay - no good
Ebay rods - no good
A6 pistons - Just go for Vitara? (stick with 75.5mm rings, they'll expand under compression)
Timing belt kit - If it's ebay like others say... Please stay away
Gasket kit/bearings - Cometic/ACL/OEM
Ebay cam gears - Slip!

You can find these name brand RELIABLE parts for a almost the same price or a few bucks more. When you say you want to build it right the first time, DO IT right. Don't cheap out a built turbo motor with ebay parts!

^ x2...i would suggest getting Vitara Pistons. i think the record on those pistons is like 480 or something close and they are like 100 bucks. Also if you want cheap rods. Get tuner toy H beam rods. Pretty close to eagle and they hold up. as far as gasket see the link i posted. its cheaper and better.

And do not get that white intake hondata knock off. they switched to the blue ones cause the white ones started to melt. Thats what mine did and sprung a coolant leak and hondata replaced it for free. When yours melts, your ebay supplier isnt going to replace it.
