What do you think of this turbo kit:

And this intercooler kit:

on '99 Civic EX Sedan D16Y8 engine with all stock internals.

Also, about the intercooler, is this good size for running 8psi boost?

 

that is bad news man...there's a reason it's so cheap, it sucks.

 

Feedback please, what sucks about it?

 

Thier manifolds have a high change of cracking and the turbo are known to easily blow their seals. Just search for ssautochrome (there is even a sticky about it on here) and see for yourself if you want to buy one.

 

What do you think about the turbo itself though? Or the intercooler kit?

 

bad news don't buy it. Look at the turbo charger. It looks like it should used for my tractor. Junk turbo kit. if your not spending 1100 dollars for the entire kit there is something wrong. research. double check. triple check and ask lots of questions

 

Thanks for the feedback guys :-). Do you have any suggested turbo kits or brands you know are good?

Also which is more expensive, brebought kit, or a kit you piece together yourself?

 

their intercooler are pretty good for low boost set ups.

try searching for an used greddy or edelbrock kit. I found a complete edelbrock turbo kit for 1,200 locally.... just the turbo alone that comes in that kit is around 800, so pretty much i got it for a freaking sweeet deal [8D]

 

Avoid that turbo for sure, however, my friend has an Ebay intercooler (I think it's the same one) and he's been running 7psi on his d16z6 CRX with it for a long time, works great.

 

i havent heard anything bad about the intercooler....but look into a quality name brand kit.
