i made a few calls and decided to build turbo kits for our civics and sell them cheaper than turbo performance.....

basically it's the same kit from turbo performance but the manifold is built by my muffler guy....

i'll only make about 10 kits max and sell them for: 2000 - 2500 dollars...

i'm just wondering how many of you would be willing to buy one if i offered it at that price?[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

Does anyone have any info in regards to turbo's and auto lx's? How does that work out? Will the stock tranny be able to handle it?

any kinda warranty on the parts or anything, are you building it outta your garage or are you a buisness. Its not that i dont trust you but i want to cover all bases before spending 2500.00

Agreed. Before I spent that much money I would have to make sure you are representing a company and not just a guy on the internet that can run with that money.

i'm piecing it together with ZN motorsports.... if something is broken and it isn't because of shipping damage, i'll replace it as long as you send the other part back...

my muffler guy is REALLY REALLY GOOD too... he do anything with welding equipment.... he's been featured in super chevy magazine, and has been doing this since like the 60's and 70's.... LOTS of experience.... he builds custom headers and exhausts for Lambo's and gets work from all over the world... so yea... muffler guy rules..

let me know what all comes with this turbo
like to know some numbers too, not just an estimate
im interested though

 
Rep Power: 374

VERY interested you can count me as one of the 10 but what will the numbers be, what kinda boost can we expect on stock internals with the basic boltons? what will the entire kit consist of?

I'd like to know if an Auto LX can handle a turbo too.

 
Rep Power: 0

i would assume that it would depend on the amount of boost... but i'm pretty sure eventually the syncros are gonna blow in the tranny... or dat's what my friend tells me... whatever the hell those things are... heh but yea... turbo charging any auto doesn't seem like too bright of an idea[IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

I think you should list ther components of your kit and like a few others said, what kind of numbers we talkin? Personally, I'd like to see something posted other than just typed in. It's not that I don't trust you, its just, I don't know you from a whole in the wall and $2500 is alot of bank.
How about scanning something?

Outside of what's included in the kit, what else will be needed besides a new clutch?

i dunno but albert's car, the fiber images car, was a turbo'd auto..

 
Rep Power: 374

good point, i was gonna briong that up and yes iot was functional before he parted it out. I think that there is some bulltproofing that would need to be done for high boost on a auto but im not really sure

I have an auto lol but i still want a turbo......post some more info & some pics [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

I suggest a torque converter. BTW I wanna see the boost specs/ parts list / exact price. Then Ill consider it. But 2 grand is definitly a good price range.

 
Rep Power: 0

hell yeah! as long as the quality of he manifold is good, and it comes with good quipment (i.e. Tial wastegate, HKS/GReddy BOV, T3/T04 turbo, etc.). Even better with some type of warranty too. Keep me posted!!

BTW: Isn't it funny how we're all worried if the parts will come with a warranty, but don't give a hoot about our car's warranty?

Guessing 2500 + install yourself or get a shop to install, good price though after the numbers are up I might be interested.

turbo performance doesn't have any numbers and a bunch of you people got the kit... with stock injectors and internals.. max boost is like 4 psi.... which isn't much but add another 450cc injector in there and now you can boost like 8 pounds.... again.. i'm just looking to see how many people would be interested if i could produce a kit similar to the one turbo performance makes..... i'm just trying to help you guys out....

There's no way I'd have a muffler guy put a turbo kit on my car. It's a little more than slapping a turbo on and plumbing in an extra injector. Jotech <Their kit is amazing and trust me, you don't want to go with a cheap kit. I'd call them to find out exactly what it takes to put a successful turbo kit on our cars. BTW, Riceburnrex is putting down around 240FWHP with their kit. He dynoed 197at the wheels with 8psi when he first got it.

I am interested, I would like to make sure the kit is up and running and is safe first because that is a big investment for me. But like you said for 2000 I would definately try to get one. Just gotta get the money together. I would like to see some numbers and everything first too.

If you are trying to help us out....give us the specs then and all that would be included in the kit you would like to sell.

Show some initiative so that people will trust you to buy from you.
So far it does not look good.

Hey bro, Defenitly interested but like the other dude said id have to make sure it was all legit warranty and all.

I live in Riverside County (CA) and I am just curious as to what the name of the muffler shop is.

I am definately interested to find out more info on your offer. I would be willing to pay $2000-$2500 if the kit includes good quality parts and a warranty is offered.

I am very interested please hurry up I am very excited. Hopefully your true to your word and not a BSer

Ok lemme get some things offa my back.
For those who are confused about this turbo or jus want some extra info read some.

As long as the parts are legit this 'muffler guy' can totally do it. Building a turbo is not hard at all. Some people here think you gotta be a freakin superhero. Now obviously a turbo for our cars is totally different, but for a kit that is supposed to spool about 4 psi I wouldn't worry about it as long as, once again the parts are welded installed bolted correctly.
jungleboogie, you have no idea what you're talkin about. An automatic is WAY better for a turbo than a manual transmission. And an LX automatic would be the best default. Why? Lower compression ratio. Forced Induction means higher degree in your internals. A high compression ratio meens that your internals are workin hard as is, without FI. A high compression also meens a higher redline and faster workin engine towards the top end of the RPM band. You won't see a normal s2000 with a 100shot of nitrous, thas jus a deathwish, why? because the pistons and rods will go sky high. Of course this is why people debate FI over NA. Back to the automatic, FI + automatic = Perfect shifting. An automatic shifts right before the redline making it safe for the transmission and easier on the torque converter. Im not saying a manual tranny is bad for FI but it's jus not nearly as safe. With a stick you can possibly hit revlimiter, grind gears, or even totally miss your shift, all of which with FI will mess your car up. For those who missed a shift or what not knows how nasty it feels, imagine with a 50shot sprayin into your throttle body without any fuel to mix in the combustin chamber, not healthy; and try not to even imagine that on a turbo.

Here is what I am worried about. The price you quoted us is obviously not exact. It is way pricey. A Greddy turbo kit for 92-00 Civics run 18-22 grand., warrenty and all.
Im not very interested in this kit but if you can come out with a product list and a ball park price it will totally help. Also, a blue print of this kit installed would be best.
