Hey guys whats up. im New to this site and have a few questons. My buddy has a crx with a b16swap. He wants to turbo it and forgive me for even writing this but with a SS AUTOCHROmE kit. Now i have read you could make a better turbo kit with a coffee can,duct tape and a fan. But are there any other "bolt on" turbo kits out there for a decent/low price that are not JUNK! and what about buying the ssac kit and replacing the turbo,manifold, and wastgate? would he just be paying for an overpriced intercooler? even worth it?

He just doesn't have the funds to buy a $3000 edelbrock kit or a $1500 turbo Any sites,names,suggestions would be great. Iv searched around alot for him on different sites trying to get some info but im not a honda guy and i dont know alot about the engines. Would he be better off pieceing together a turbo kit?

Hes running the b16a1 (siR)? i belive. intake,mani,exhaust...and only looking to run around 10psi. Something SAFE for a stock motor. Let me know if you have some honda knowledge or any ideas on what would be best.

and im guessing im gona get my ***** busted for even WRITING ssautochrome so come on,lets hear it...

Good luck man

whats that mean? as-in good luck with the SSAC kit?
Thats why im asking, i DONT want him to use that.

The website is titled home made turbo. You should not ask question about non homemade turbo kit. If he doesnt want to pay 3000$ for a turbo kit:

1- Do it yourself
2- Stay NA
3- Do it yourself

I say good luck because you will get raped by other members here if you talk about turbo kit SSautochrome or not.

buy bmcrace log for sale in for sale. add a t3 junkard turbo, buy an intercooler/bov from donald in sponsors, mild steel 2.5", weld it all up yourself, and spend $500. xenocron for chipped ecu

^^^Thats the type of answer i was wating for..

You owned your self. Thanks for the laugh. Ok I will help a little. SSOQ is cdm junk. Manis crack, waste gates some times get stuck, piping is to thin, t-bolts only work right one time, Bov all ok, oil lines suck/ leak, fmic is ok, turbos like to fall apart/ some people have good luck with them.
All in all it is just junk. Do your self a favor and sell it to another rice boy and make your own hmt kit. BTW you will needed something to tune with. Xenocron is your man for anything ecu related; really good/ nice guy with good pricing!!!

yeah i know...i figuredi'd get smething along thoes ines of an insult...

Thanks crxvtec91. Thats kinda what i was looking for but more along the lines of what set up he could use.
whats a good stock turbo to use? anyone running a 14b with good results? i know you can run a t25 but that seems a bit small... also does a dsm Mani. bolt up to a honda/ b16? sounds weird to me but i always see them for sale for honda turbo kits. it doesn't make sense to me that thy would fit.

as for tuning i think he said he was going to use a apexi Neo or Safc. woud it be better to chip/socket your ecu or just get a piggyback system?


Thanks to anyone for any help. ill keep serching but any info will help.
