Is this Turbo on D16z stock engine safe?
 

i was looking at this turbo kit http://www.ssautochrome.com/level.itml/icOid/1291 i have no mods to my car only exhaust. 1994 civic ex, d16z engine with 180000 miles no leaks or anything. really clean engine and runs great. I am scared to install this turbo and screw up my engine. what else would i need to buy to keep my engine safe if i buy this kit. Or is this kit even a good deal? what would be the next critical part to buy? Please give me as much info as possible this is all new to me. thanks

Welcome to the forum!

Don't buy that ----! Do a search for ssautocrap or ssautochrome, his products are ----. Check our classifieds section for something more suitable.

Do some reasearch on what people have done with a similar setup, post some more info about your goals and knowledge.. I'll be back in a couple hours and help you out more.. hopefully I will be drunk.

I would recommend that U have someone w/experience do a compression test on all cylinders 1st. W/that much mileage, U may have some wear.

Do what Im doing, peice everything together over a longer period of time, and make it all worth it in the end. If the car is your daily driver and you wanna rip the ---- out of it (which you will) find another temp motor just to have in case you blow yours. --or get another motor to build???
You can find some really good deals on the classifides section and sometimes a complete turbo set-up for like 400 bucks, and you would have to get a few smaller things. Look around, and check everything out first. Read what other people have done/completed/blew up and why. do it right man.

about SSAUTOCHROME....lots of people have had bad experiences with his products. My theory, you pay for what you get.
