cool to learn there is another turbo kit manufacturer for our cars. Nice ride.

^^^ummm, where've you been??? i've seen/heard people telling horror stories about obx manifolds for at least a year now....and longer for the tsi kit. I haven't had the pleasure of eoxperiencing either of them, but i hope to get the dezod kit soon...*praying*...

both kits/manufacturers have been around for a while, but the arguments for both sides are about 50/50...seems like a hit and miss to me..

I saw that picture and the first thought that goes through my head is.... "NOOOOOO OBBBXXXXX RUNNNNNN." Looks good bro, but as everyone said before.. keep an eye on that thing 24/7

This thread is hilarious.... its so evident who knows what they're doing and who's running short a few cylinders.


subscribing for the impending carnage.....

damn guys leave him alone. its a nice setup. if it breaks its his problem. there is a difference between warning, and flaming. if he didn't do his research its only his fault.
nice pics. good luck with it.

It looks very nice BUT as others have stated nicely and others a bit rude. Please when you get the money invest in a new manifold and wastegate you can get a good quality manifold made with quality metal for not too much and you can always get it coated with I cant remember what its called but a heat resistant coating that will give you that chrome plated look. I havent had any experiences with this brand of wastegate but remember you get what you pay for.

ur right.....but...lol like u said it still looks good and well we will have to wait and see how his turbo ends up on a couple or months or days its cute tho

to check to see if your wastegate is failing, you will have to take the cap off the wastegate (normally held on by 8 hex key bolts) and check the diaphragm. If you see any discoloration in it or any lines, it is probably going to fail within a short period of time.

WOW, 7thgencivic.com doing what its best at....................HATING

That's O' sooooo true

 
Rep Power: 327

I dont agree, most of the post were realistic and not hating. They were factual post that the manifold is of lesser quality and will most likely fail prematurely. LOTS said looks GOOD, but the manifold is junk. Thats not hating thats being honest! It does look VERY nice.. BUT it most likely wont last

I wonder what type of fist fighting would happen if every one is this forum was so meet each other. Especially the boy with the OBX turbo manifold.

 
Rep Power: 396

Well, most of us here joke with each other and know we don't really mean it.

Goes to show that ppl i'll buy wtv looks good without research. Has anyone seen the thread on Honda-tech where the "XS power" turbo's compressor just fell off. You'll definitely need to brace the turbo if you plan to keep it. With all the custom manifolds out there I don't see why ppl even resort to obx, with the price of logs manifolds @ 250$ how much more do you wanna save.

Boost it, break it, fix it... repeat

 
Rep Power: 396

LOL, race it break it fix it repeat

This goes true for anything with a motor... If you wanna play you gotta pay Im already on motor #2

Well built and properly tunned, do it right once and you'll be ahead in the end. Maybe it's cuz I see more broken dseries at 250whp then most dohc at 350-400whp. Dseries boost and fix, dime a dozen motors FTW

 
Rep Power: 285

Im on motor number 3.

I broke the first one (several pistons, scored cylinder walls, trashed bearings)
2nd one was a temporary replacement
And the 3rd one just went in today and is fully built.
