Re: XS power turbos?
 

haha... but at least you could just replace the compressor housing and go, no?

doesn't look like the center section fell apart.

Re: XS power turbos?
 

What's up with all this new people trying to give SSAC props, is it an insider trying to change thier reputation? or is it really 2 or 3 people that had good luck with them?

We might never know ;) :'( ;)


In another note. maybe if you get one, and before even running it, inspect it, if it's glued together like the one posted before, change the housing, it could be decent!!!!!!!!

Re: XS power turbos?
 

some people have good luck with them. my buddy ordered a kit that consisted of the turbo, manifold, wg, bov, 3" dp with flex, and intercooler (all of this upon a customers request), and said he was actually really impressed with everythign except for the intercooler, i wouldn't buy one though, with my luck, i'd get one of the super glued one's :P

Re: XS power turbos?
 

who cares if they are good now are they reliable 1 year down the road.

Re: XS power turbos?
 

LOL, this is funny. if this were posted before this 11sec claim thread, which has nothing to show for but a video, this guy would have the ---- flamed out of him for considering a ssautochrome kit. I still dont buy that 11sec claim, for the simple fact that there is no pictures. I give the guy all the credit in the world for going 11sec, but i dont buy the fact that it was with ssautochrome. I have yet to see one positive thing about ssautochrome's TURBO's or MANIFOLDS.


so if you want my $.02, i would not buy a ssautochrome kit. a wastegate or a bov, maybe, anything else, no.

Re: XS power turbos?
 

the turbo in the picture is deffinatly diffrent than the one that came unglued. i still wouldent ---- with them. 100 dollars more and you have a rebuilt turbo thats not going to break

Re: XS power turbos?
 

junkyard you are the true cocky military guy, I MEAN HELL YOU RUN YOUR ---- WITH OUT A BOV

Re: XS power turbos?
 

More SSAutoChrome...

Not that I am biased or anything, as I do not yet sell turbochargers. But given the huge volume of negative publicity that SSAutoChrome has received both here and on HondaTech, why would anyone even consider buying their products? It baffles me. Yes, there is something to be said for doing something in the least expensive manner, it's what we are about here at HMT. But to knowingly throw your money away on their products is just ignorant.

If you have the money to buy something new, then buy quality. It's only a few more dollars, and it will last a lot longer than that bargain basement glued-together product, or that thin walled manifold that will fall apart well after you gave the shithead positive feedback. (I'll bet that a large percentage of his customers from a year ago, would love the opportunity to provide feedback on his product now. There would be a few more negatives, and a lot better service I bet.)

SSAutoChrome feeds off of the uninformed buyer. The buyer who has not spent the time on the forums, but stopped off at eBay first, and made an impulse buy because of the price. A year from now, that guy will have learned a lesson and moved on to a better seller/product, and there will be a new buyer to take his place.

Most of us are running used turbos that are 10-20 years old, that is a fine example of quality. Having your product fall apart after a year, is a fine example of commiting crime.

Rant Done.

Re: XS power turbos?
 

you know its funny you talked about the thin- wall ssautocrap manifold


check this link out
http://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1186186
and this one
http://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1184592 - read he made like 570whp on the ssautochrome manifold
and after talking to him the only thing that cracks was the wastegate tube

i am not ssautochrome or sponsered by them, but i like there products they seem to work

thanks
for the space even though i just really wasted my breath


thanks
richie

Re: XS power turbos?
 

I have said nothing but what craig has already said. and not running with a BOV...thats what the pic shows ;) I havent seen any of your pictures....

and look man, you say it yourself, the ---- isnt quality.

I havent seen any other manifold ever do that.

I havent been in the "turbo world" as long as some of these other people have, but one thing is known...to stay away from ssautochrome manifolds and turbos.

you will hear no more from me. good for you running your high 11's. its funny because most people would have bragged about getting kicked out of the track for being to fast (with no cage) than a SSAC kit.

again, and as I have said before...well, craig took the words out of my mouth, he just said it a littlle better. ;)

Re: XS power turbos?
 

YAY, WE GOT KICKED OFF THE TRACK


thats not as cool as saying we did it with ssautochrome kit >:D

Re: XS power turbos?
 

SSautochrome sucks. Period.

Your wonderful SSauto kit might have ran one good run, but give it time. That shitty manifold will crack and that shitty no-name turbo will sieze. It's all ---- and I know you're going to be too proud to post about it and admit it when that ---- breaks, but whatever. You can be all gung-ho about your $500 turbo kit for now. Just wait..........



DO NOT BUY SSAUTOCHROME PRODUCTS
You're supporting a never ending supply of shitty products. The more ---- you buy from him, the longer he will be selling these fucked up parts to innocent people who don't know any better.

Re: XS power turbos?
 

Why? because everyone knows they are crap?

No man really, like I said before, if these are new manifolds stronger than the firsts, great deal, awesome finally good quality, but because he has been selling crap for like 2 years, it's kinda hard to believe it.

Your car is bad ass, it is quick as hell, it's just weird the way you are defending them. Hopefully it will last longer, if it does, keep us posted, I'm sure a lot of people will gladly buy his products, manifolds, if they are better.

Re: XS power turbos?
 

What I don't understand...

Is why is there not a sticky that says SSAC sucks, don't buy them, bad quality. ---- like that, or when you sign up why dosn't it say SSAC Sucks, and don't post gay porn.

I give props to SSAC though, not because they make a good product (because they don't) but because he's making a ------- KILLING selling that garbage on eBay. Let's face it, somebody wants to turbocharge their slow car that nobody makes performance parts for..they get on eBay to find a turbo kit made specifically for their car, and for $500! Wow, sounds great..so they buy it, install it, it breaks....then they buy better stuff or repeatedly send the stuff back to SSAC for a replacement(it does carry a lifetime warranty right?).

Re: XS power turbos?
 

Ive heard all the rumors about SSAC manifolds, and then saw them being sold on ebay with braces. So id imagine after a turbo falling apart theyd try to fix it. I might buy a used T3, but what says that is better then a new SSAC? The used one actually has wear and the SSAC doesnt :confused.



OBX/SSAC exahust mani

Re: XS power turbos?
 

Like somebody said earlier in a different post, there's tons of people using 10-15 year old T3's off of factory cars and still getting very good use out of them, and then there's people who have a brand new SSAC turbo fail on them after a month or less.

Re: XS power turbos?
 

This thread kills me. If you're still considering buying some pile of ---- turbo or manifold from that shitbag, do a search for "SSautoshit" "SSautocrap" and "SSautochrome" on this forum and see what you come up with. This has been beaten to death and I'm sick of hearing about those ------- shitty parts.

THE END
