Yeah, I know I know... eBay + turbo kit is not always good..

BUT

I see there are *suposely* authentic Turbonetics turbo kits for sale for like 1599$ on eBay for D-Serie engines...

Are those good enough for a daily driven civic with a 7-8psi setup (properly tuned) ? Or are they total crap...

What are my other options for a low budget turbo build for my D-serie ?

Thanks!

@ pimp_mike: this is my beater, i don't want to spend too much money on it, plus I'm back in school now so i'm trying not to spend too much on "useless" stuff.
 
If its a beater don't do it. Its a waste of money. The word beater automatically implies that its not worth spending money on. I would consider it "useless" spending. Now if i was in ur position and going back to school, keep saving up and turbo the tl instead. Or else u just spent 1600 on a "beater"
 
sa lair dun kit cheap avec un bon turbo. tant qua sa jacheterais un no name pi jupgraderai le turbo quand lautre brisera pi sa taura pas couter plus cher

J'me trouve ridicule par bout moi-même, mais lorsque mon TL sera bel et bien vendu, ce sera mon véhicule principal, et les 106hp d'origine m'exaspèrent! :run:


Je vais y réfléchir encore. :D
 
Lol its not worth it man. Keep the money.

This is coming from someone who is spending a lot of money on his car.

I wouldn't say anything if it was a full fledged project. But for a beater its personnally a waste.

But that's just my 0.02!
 
This actually doesn't look too bad if the car is not a beater. Probably alot easyer to get everything at once than to go all over the place and put together a turbo kit.
 
You need to know that even after you've paid the 1560$ US means almost 2k canadian taxes included shipped to your home. But your not done yet, your pump gaz will not be enough powerfull + the injectors + i wouldnt have a turbo kit on a 1 inch 3/4 exhaust and your car is not even tuned so need a ''chip'' and tuning you gon see that the bill increase very quickly.

Like others said, i think this aint worth the money , after you will sell your TL you will probably have another car in mind, just wait and see, this wasnt tht much a DEAL this type of deals happens everyday but when u will have the money in your pocket and you spot YOUR almost dream car for ''cheap'' you will be happy that u kept your money instead of putting it in your car.
I didnt say that turbo car doesnt worth it , but it cost money and almost never stop.
