Pos / Neg Of A Turbo + Requirements

[gleaminrimz]

Hey dudes, i have been checking out some turbo kits and i'm in need of your help again. here are the two kits that i have been checking out, plz tell me if they are any good, if not tell me where i can get something a lot better but around the same price:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/96-00-CIVIC-B16-B18-B20-T3T4-REV-SPEED-FULL-TURBO-KIT_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33742QQitemZ120095741484QQrdZ1

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/JDM-SPORTs-90-01-Integra-99-00-Civic-SI-Turbo-Kit_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33742QQitemZ180096009909QQrdZ1

which kit is better and why?


What are the ADVANTAGES and DISADVANTAGES of getting a turbo kit? will it cost more to service cars with turbo's? will i have to upgrade any other parts on the car to be able to use this turbo kit? how much HP wil i gain (estimate)?

My car currently has a Stage 1 exedy racing clutch and a modified exhaust along with other minor mods (all dun by the previous owner).

What other upgrades are cheap and effective?


Thanks in advance for any replies.
Matt.

hello im just gonna answer a few of your questions and be on my way lol
advantages to turbo more hp and torque lol
disadvantages less reliability unless done right

turbo cars do require more maitinence and i highly recomend doing it yourself i wouldnt trust any mechanic to do regular maitinence on my boosted car

also i wouldnt turst ebay tubos/turbo kits. getting something like a turbo is not something you want to go cheap with try and find a nice used kit from somebody on the site or chip in that extra cash to get a new turbo kit from a reputable site

Personally... I don't like either kit.. I would rec. spending the extra money on a garett Ball bearing turbo... maybe a GT30R.. somene else chime in on not familiar with BB turbo size for B16s... you might as well spend the extra money and buy the best kit possible...

Unless you wanna run really low boost.. the I suppose those kits look alright.. t3/t4 from what ive heard is a good turbo just not that good for high hp number... and if you want to see higher numbers you need to buy a garrett turbo and build your motor some.

ebay is not such a good idea ... check out turbod16.com for more turbo single cam info - but yeah in the end you gotta pay to play ...
