Dezod. Over priced?
WOW excuse my language admins but what the ****.....6 thousand dolllars for a turbo kit. http://www.dezod.com/pd_dezod_motorsports_version_3.cfm
I mean jesus guys our cars are only 1.7L sohc. These turbo kits max would get us maybe 280-300's. For 6 thousand dollars is it really worth it. I mean think about it. You can prob go to a junkyard and buy a wrecked rsx or civic si buy the motor for cheap and then turbo it out for around 6 grand. So is this turbo kit over priced. Well yes. Reason beeing it is one of the few 7th gen civic turbo kits. I mean if u wanna go greddy go for it. Just keep in mind their company is know for welding issues. ON my friends 6th gen his piping was welded horrible. later the pipes bursths and screwed up his ride. Anyways I hope I can get some feed back. It would be muchly appreciated
Thanks once again

Read my previous post where one of the other members points out the point of why it costs so much more than the other. Also, GReddy does not make a kit for the 7thgen. They never have, nor will. Finally, I don't think you where referring to us when you said welding issues on a 6thgen because we have never done anything for a 6thgen production wise.

Rep Power: 0 NO NO dezod I stated that my friend had a greddy turbo kit for his 6th gen. Read my post carefully. DUDE my friends turbo kits welds like burtested or something. OMG dont pin something on me like FINALLY i dont think u referr to us. Next time if ur gonna make me look like an *** plz get the facts straight. Im new to this site and dont wanna make any enemys. I just wanna meet other cool people with 7th gens. Im sorry to all if it sounded like i put down dezod. I did not do any of this. I just said paying close to 6,000 dollars for a turbo kit is a bit steep. I would pay 1,000-2,000 but 6k. yikes. Once again I didnt mean to offend anyone. If u have any further complants or appoligies post or message me. Have a good rest of the day

Rep Power: 511 I've been saying that he is overpriced since day one, and no one seems to listen because everone is all over his nuts for making a turbo kit of which he outsources the manifolds among other parts for and jacks up the prices for the end consumer, being you, but hey, w/e buy his stuff if you like paying an arm and a leg.
No offense of course, just throwing the facts out there.

Rep Power: 0 Hey ab thanks for backing me up. Dude i totally agree. Im not trying to bring down the dezod corp but here is how to make ur own turbo kit.
1) Buy all the parts seperetly. IE: Turbo, Intercooler, wastegate,bov,controllers.
2) Take it 2 a cutom auto place and have them get all the lines/weld the piping/install it
3) Get ur ecu and stuff re mapped
4) Get ur car dynoed and checked for performance
5) You saved urself thousands and ur civic goes vroom....PSHHHHTTTTT. and little kids and teens next to u driving with their mommies say HOLY **** like the f&F LOL! Seriously thou custom is tha way to go. if anyone disagrees plz lemme know

Rep Power: 273 so he thinks he can get a k20 and turbo it for 6k? WOW. i dont know where he's getting his k20 from but if its from a junk yard i highly doubt that it's gonna run great. i think that the kit is priced some what well... not the greatest but well enough.

Rep Power: 256 well, look at it this way. the 7th gen is not turbo friendly, nor performance friendly for that matter and dezod has put a lot of r&d into their turbo kits to squeeze every pony out of them they can. you have to upgrade so much **** on the 7th gen to make it withstand the power and dezod includes all the parts. you said you would pay 1-2 grand for a turbo KIT, that will barely cover a good turbo and leave you with money for dinner. you source all the parts and get a price list for seperate parts and come back and post.

the base dezod turbo kit costs about $3200, but does not include injectors, upgraded clutch, an ecu, a boost controller, turbo timer, gauges, vacuum manifold, among may other NECESSARY parts. now, add in the cost of say an e-manage with all the harnesses, rsx-s injectors, an electronic boost controller, act clutch, turbo timer, golden eagle vacuum manifold, and all necessary gauges and you are looking at a bare minimium total cost (before tuning) of around $4250-4400 and that is being extremely generous.
now if you take a look at a custom kit, mine for example, i have spent approximately $3800 on it and have everything listed above in my kit, all of which are name brand, and quality products. On top of what was listed above, i also have the crower stage 2 turbo cam and valvetrain kit along with a strong tune that results in my car having around 225whp and 204wtq and have yet to have any major problems.
now, please explain to me how buying a production kit is a wise economical decision and come back when you actually have some factual information to present besides what everyone tells you must be true.

Rep Power: 273 i will say that i am making myself a custom kit but it is tru that dezod does have a lot of r&d into the 7thgen, so i can see some things being a LIL over priced but they do have somethings that i plan on getting at other sites...but dezod is a great company with great customer service!

Rep Power: 331 youd end up spending about 6k if you did a full motor build anyways. ams, pistons, rods. It IS a kit after all, it may not be suitable for you, but for someone who actually wants all that stuff to begin with, atleast they have an option to do so. YES it is expensive, but thats the price you pay for the convinience. it's called mark up and it's how businesses make profit. If you don't want it, don't buy it.

Rep Power: 413 you sir are uneducated about what the market currently supplies.
Matt, et all, if you don't like the price of the kit, then don't buy it.
The ignorance of some people drives me crazy
This is being closed in respect to the only vendor that has supported development of go-fast parts for D17 EM2s and NOT screwed people out of money (ahemstaffordahem)
