I believe I have heard the same horror stories about their turbos as I have about their manifolds. I would stay away from anything that dickhead sells.

Re:SSautocrap turbos, anyone try?
 
yeah, i've heard that he advertises they are ball bearing turbos, when in fact they are not, and he offers a warranty that he doesn't back up, once you get a product and have problems with it (which you will), you can't get back up with him. i've also heard the his turbos are crap and people ALWAYS have problems with them.

Re:SSautocrap turbos, anyone try?
 
it looks like a rebuilt t25 to me... can't be too bad? one point though... this "ssautocrap" stuff is a prime example of people talking out of their ass... "I heard it's crap"... or "I heard they break"... I bet these people don't even have turbo cars, much less have tried the manifold... it's the same ---- with lsvtecs back in the day... "I heard they don't last long"... now they are as common as b16s... I've dealt with these manifolds alot and have only seen one case where one broke (posted on honda-tech)... the point - don't let the crowd influence you... find out if the turbo is good on your own... if you always listen to this "he said, she said, we said" bullshit, you'll always be too scared to try anything...

they say they are "Stone Racing" but i would trust the "birdies" to keep me from the possiblity of buying SSautcrap

projekteg 02-19-2004 08:03 AM

Re:SSautocrap turbos, anyone try?
 
stone racing = ssauto crap

he also has many other alias', but you can usually tell by his adds, they usually follow the same format for description etc. in all of his auctions, this guy is a first class scammer, and he knows it. i email him every now and then out of the blue to tell him he sucks :-\

Re:SSautocrap turbos, anyone try?
 
ssautochrome is crap period, i have their turbo manifold and the flange where it bolts to the cyl head is warped... they must have never torqued it down to the cyl head tight when they were welding it over there in china. i put a straight edge on it, its not even close to being straight. dont even bother

Rebuilt by who? Did they rebuild it? Are they going to give you a refund if the turbo is ----? Are they even going to reply to your email if you have a problem? There wasn't just "that one guy" on Honda-Tech that had problems with him. Read his ------- feedback. He's a piece of ---- and he doesn't back his customer with any kind of after-sale service. ALL of his products are junk and there are plenty of people out there to prove that. Email those poor people in his feedback that got fucked by him. Email the recent people that got fucked by being forced to leave positive feedback. I bet they have a different story to tell you. The facts are all there, if you don't want to listen, then you buy his ---- and see how good it is. :-\

whoa-ho buddy... i could give a ----... all i'm saying is don't go off heresay... check the feedback... if you see people complaining about the turbos, than don't buy it, but don't listen to people that have never tried it... I don't know the guy and could care less... btw Dr. Boost, I have bought his ---- (b-series manifold and t3/t4 turbo) and haven't had a problem yet

Dr.Boost 02-19-2004 08:25 PM

Re:SSautocrap turbos, anyone try?
 
Uhhh...yeah, check his feedback. Did you check his feedback before you bought that ----? I am truely sorry for your unfortunate purchase. Better luck next time. :-\

If you don't listen to other peoples experiences how the hell are you going to know who is good and who is bad? That's what makes the entire feedback system up. Why even have feedback if people like you aren't going to take it seriously? :-\

ebay feedback is different from a group of people on a forum saying something. Don't believe me? Go on honda-tech and look at posts reguarding people asking if they should put a Mitsu T-25 on their cars. Most of the replies are that the turbo is "too small" and "will restrict any motor". I have used the T25, 14b and 16g and I can tell that that's bullshit (I even have a T25 on one of my cars right now). Remember LSVTECS a while back (like late 2000-2001) Everybody and their mom was repeating what they heard/read about bad rod/stroke ratio... it won't last... yata, yata... and I bet not even 1% of these people have actually seen an LSVtec up close, let alone owned one. I didn't listen to the bullshit... Me and my homie built one, and never ever had a problem... and that was revving it to 8500 rpm everyday... my point is to take everything you read (ESPECIALLY ON THE INTERNET) with a grain of salt... I do swaps and install turbos and ---- day in and day out (and make a good bit of money doing it), and meet new people, and it never fails - I always have to correct all the bullshit myths they've heard from their "homeboys" or some guy at a shop or their cousin that works for honda... because people always pass on what they heard instead of what they know. Dr. Boost, people like me are the reason you don't have a nation full of pussies that are scared to do anything cus they "heard" something bad might happen... I'm not saying the ---- is good or bad, I'm just saying don't be affraid to try somethign cus of what you "heard"

what are you talking about??? The ---- fit right and works perfectly (I guess I'm one of the lucky ones right?)... we will be taking it out to the track on febuary 28th...

Re:SSautocrap turbos, anyone try?
 
I will back you on the LS/VTEC as well as the B20-VTEC. Even though many peeps have said B20 have week sleeves for being stock... I think they are pretty damn strong. Handles the 200 shot of nitrous we are running through there fine... ;) oh yea.. CRVTEC of course! =)

What am I talking about? His feedback. I'm sure it was shittty when you bought from him, but you didn't pay attention I guess. Nevermind, you don't care about feedback. You bought a perfect turbo and manifold that will never break and your Civic will NeVar lose!!!! :P


I understand what you are saying about the forums and ----, but I'm talking specifically about his feedback. You are saying to go ahead and buy this dipshits turbo even though he has one of the shittiest feedback histories I have ever seen on ebay. :-\

Re:SSautocrap turbos, anyone try?

used2baracer 02-20-2004 02:17 PM

Re:SSautocrap turbos, anyone try?
 
nobody's backing anything pimp... be your own man... if it works cool... if not - then you got owned... his feedback is %98 - 829 pos, 8 neg... that sounds good to me and thats why i bought it... you guys are nuts... you get what you pay for - you don't wanna take a chance, go spend $800 on a lovefab manifold... I never heard any complaints about those - $150 sounds a lot better to me especially on cars we only pay $800 for...

ZexRex 02-20-2004 02:28 PM

Re:SSautocrap turbos, anyone try?
 
look at my setup its all ssautocrap, i got it a long ass time ago .. maybe a year ago. i got everything for free i was testing fitament for stuff for him.

a few things you have to do to the manifold to make it work:
have flange machined - $90
cut hood if you use a deltagate ( poor cf hood :'( )
use a sol rad
more stuff i forget

and for the intake manifold its even more money to make it fit, i posted on here when i did it. watch the for sale ads, i'm goin bseries so all my dseries parts will be in there sometime soon.

Speedracer32 02-20-2004 02:56 PM

Re:SSautocrap turbos, anyone try?

I think we are talking about two different people here. ???

SSautochrome: 14892 positive
213 negative
200+ neutral

The only reason he has so many positive is because he has a new feedback policy where he won't leave feedback unless you do so if you leave a negative he will leave a negative. :-\

Ebay is gay, ssautochrome is gayer... good products or not the guy is a piece of ---- and no one should have to deal with him.. just send him a few emails and youll see hes not a genuine kind of guy.
---- him

Re:SSautocrap turbos, anyone try?
 
we should just all email and say that we all own shops and that we are looking to get a distributor for manifolds and that we will all order 50 and see if he gives us a discount on them..

haha its more to annoy him and waste his time and make him wait for us to reply and after 100 emails, just email him "I was just ------- with you. PWNED!"
