ss auto on tv!!
 

i just watched some gueer as show on speed channel where they're building a nissan engine for their drift car. And they used an ss auto crap turbo mani!! It's ------- sad that such crap can still be used so wide ------.

More power to him I guess, he seems to be making a killing even though it seems a quite a few people know they're crap. I guess everyone wants to save a dollar, even i'm running an ssauto WG and bov. :P

you get what you pay for, pay less expect less, if it works for you then great.

I got an SSauto mani, I know they are ---- and the flanges are warped that doesnt bother me, I have a machine shop at work to i reground the flanges ground out the ports, if it cracks i'll re weld it and strengthen it

Re: ss auto on tv!!
 

actually the ssauto mani for nissan never breaks/cracks. only honda manifolds. word is he doesn't care for honda so he craps out on them to make u spend more money on buying another one... ive seen 100's of them used on ka24's and not 1 ever cracked. on some cars its recommended just not for honda's. not backin him up, jus from what ive seen.

Re: ss auto on tv!!
 

yeah a local preformance shop sells them for the porsche and a few others

Re: ss auto on tv!!

Re: ss auto on tv!!
 

ive seen the "bad" stuff all over the web, but the one i had a t3/t04b hangin from my z6 wasnt braced and it lasted for at least 4k or so miles. ::) but pictures are worth a thousand words ive seen the damage, i think if he would spend the little amount more of money to back up his ----, maybe he would sell more because people would reccomened them for their price and strengh.

Re: ss auto on tv!!

funny you sould say that....who had the fastest track time when hey ran them?

Re: ss auto on tv!!
 

I posted this awhile ago and actually sent a letter to the host of the show and gave him a piece of my mind. Never heard anything back...big surprise. :P The show is called Sports Car Revolution. I wanna gouge my eyes out with rusty spoons whenever that "Drifting Emergency" section comes on. Those fuckers are nuttier then a squirrel turd.

Re: ss auto on tv!!
 

I concur, and here is a link to the offending website - http://www.sportscarrevolution.com/driftcar/

SCR is a decent show, but the "Drifting Emergency" segment totally sucks ass...as evidenced by them purchasing anything from SSAutoCrap.

that scary man

are ther e wgs any good

Re: ss auto on tv!!
 

(judging only from what i've read)

it's a toss up. Some say it's good for the money, others dont. They seem to rip and blow up engines (as in hotrex's case) but other people have had good luck with them.

Personally I would buy from someone else.

SoapBox ON...

TunerToys began selling parts for turbocharging because of this website and you guys. There is something to be sadi for the guys that want to do it themselves, learn a lot, but not spend a lot.

There is always a trade off between expense, reliability, and difficulty, when completing a DIY turbo project. Guys like us are always trying to get the most bang for the buck and want it to be reliable. It's a constant battle to make something perform, without investing a fortune, and doing it yourself.

There comes a point when reliability becomes so poor, that price can not be the deciding factor when buying the components for your turbo project. You have to choose reliability over a cheap price. Time and time again, SSAutoChrome has proven to be unreliable, yet the rock bottom prices continue to lure people into their trap.

We would love to be able to offer parts with as low of a price point as the SSAutoChrome products, but nobody offers that price level, with any proven reliability. So we chose Tial Wastegates.

The moral to all of this is that you are risking the blowing of your engine, to save a few bucks, on a component from a manufacturer with a horrible record for reliability. It is not worth it. The money you will spend rebuilding the engine, will more than pay for the difference between the SSAutoCrap, and the Tial (or other quality wastegate) you should have bought.

Tivo owns SCR. I just treat the drift segment as a commercial. Sean Hyland is legit, not sure who Kazer is or why he is on there. I guess he is a singer, but how big can he be if I have never heard of him in the states?

i have the wg. no problems at nothing. i don't have a boost controller and i don't see any spike really.
