calling turbo gurus. sts turbo system.

i will boosting my da pretty soon and been looking for a kit till this got my attention. i need some feedback on this new style set up (1st time i’ve seen this) vs traditional turbo set up.

setup

Is that the rear end? Wow that has a long way to travel and im sure being that close to the ground doesnt help

that looks like itd give a lot of lag…why would anyone want that anyways

company claim lower temp, great boost response, and so on. i need more info and response from turbo expert.

creative :think:

For a honda this kit makes no sense…v8’s have been doing it for years. Your going to get alot of lag. its not worth it. the only reason v8’s do it is because they dont have alot of room in the engine bay. we have plenty. run a normal kit this wont be worth it.

Those ktis are generally for trucks and and doemstics that have veyr limited space under the hood. The turbo palcement is better where the exhaust gas pressure iis the strongest. By the head

Good luck driving that in the rain!
Oh yeah, and probably shouldn’t lower it either.

I say no go.

There’s just something about a turbo system under my car that I don’t like…I feel bad enough for my $50 oil pan, I couldn’t imagine what a $2500 setup bottoming out would feel like…

thanks guys. i really appreciated your thoughts and opinion on this…i will be going with rev hard kit… the only reason that got me interested on this thing is they claim lower air temp going to the head to minimize detonation and will work just fine with high comp up to 8 lbs.

just use a FMIC and it will be the same thing

i wondnt park that thing in the streets lol That thing will be gone in 5 mins.

that’s alot of piping and oil lines to be run underneith the car. not a good idea in my books.

Make them sign everything in writing that if the kit doesnt do what they claim it will, you get to return it :wink:

Try it…be different :slight_smile:

waste of money unless you are going for the super sleeper look or don’t have any room in your engine bay.

couple of reason that got my attention is gives room on engine bay, wont produce alot of heat, no need for intercooler, sleeper appeal, and seems like it wont attract attention. especially here in l.a. learn my lesson when my civic got jack last year with intercooler in front (yes, i painted it black with high temp and still visible.)

No matter how hard you try, you can’t hide a turbo honda. You can try but you can quickly tell a boosted car when you see one. Plus, word gets around, even with your closest friends being the only ones that know. The only way for no one to ever find out woud be to never drive it. I agree, it does seem pretty unique and interesting, but it just doesn’t seem practical for a daily driver.

Plus you always have the ricer crowd that’s going to notice it.

:gets down behind car:
“yO! What kinda exhaust does dat shiet have man? Dat shit’s hella phat yO!”

lol
