Re: fucking outragious price for an assembled turbo kit....
 
You can get a brand new never used turbo kit for that much.......

Some include bigger injectors, piggy back for fuel, and other odds and ends that almost make it worth it.

---- that. I wouldn't even sell my 420a kit for that much.

$500 max.


If somebody buys it for that much, their loss. Really. It doesn't take alot of homework to peice a kit together for $500-1200 but i guess maybe that is what the buyer would be paying for. The time invested to save the og owner money......

Still, that's insane.

i'm not going to peice key peices of the kit out. this kit is very specific to the car, the turbo, the wastegate, the bov, pretty much every damn thing...

The intercooler does not leak. I dunno exactly what happened, maybe someone started jacking the car up on it... but it was the intercooler used on Kerry Keiser's del sol and Billy Freemans Si if you need references.

The ecu currently has eCtune on it. Its THE most comprehensive honda tunning software on the market and it just went on the market like a month ago. Check it out at ectune.com

Gotta pay for what you want.

I did spend more than $3500 on every peice plus labor for welding.

Its mine to sale and if you don't like the price the try negotiating. Never have I seen bitching about it, fix the price.

Its complete and I didn't want to sell it. I didn't build it thinking that one day I would have to sale it. But now my plans change and I'm in a pinch. So I looked at the project I've been working on for almost a year now and whacked off somewhere in the range of 5-8 hundred dollars of the dollar amount thrown at it. Fair in my book since I only drove across the city 2 good times getting into boost only a couple of times. The wastegate never even opened.

Do me and the viewing public a favor if you think its sooooo outrageous, buy each of these parts in the same or better condition using the same or better quality parts, then pay a tig welder who knows what he is doing to make it all fit in the engine bay of a CRX. Show us the final price tags for review. Until then suck my cock.

I've got a B16 head I'm looking to sell for $5k. How about a trade?

if you do your shopping around not buy the first thing you see, you should be able to assemble the same kit for half that amount

less than 2 grand. go ahead and rock it at an even 2000 for a T3/T4 .63

my bad 80 bucks for dSM 450's (most pay 50 or so)

and 200 for a chip'ed ECU, Xfer harness (in case) chips and a healthy tip. = 500 less than your failure and all brand new and not previously failed upon. ..and dented to ----.
