ebay turbo kits?

[Kellen]

If you're running an H22, you can't run very much boost due to the FRM sleeves.

unless the block gets re sleeved, or you get mahl coated pistons.

Seeing how the poster is looking at an ebay turbo kit, I doubt that he had the money lying around to sleeve his block and replace the pistons.

agreed. but that is a nice lookin set up. i'd say go w/ it & use it to learn from. then, if & when the turbo goes, get yourself a Garret turbo, tial wastegate & blow off valve. u'll know how it all goes cuz u learned from the old 1. now u'll have a real quality name brand set up that will b reliable, plus keeps a/c & p.s. & the tubing & intercooler looks perfect for the cb. hell i might get me 1

Ebay turbo kits are affordable but they are crap. Well, the turbo is. Everything else is pretty much good. So pretty much a intercooler, oil lines, catch can, clamps and couplers, and piping are good. The BOV well that can be up for discussion. They are ok to me. They are def good if you plan on running a upgrade soon. The turbo on the other hand is crap. I had an ebay turbo on my crx when I just got in to boost. The fins bent on a boost spike at the dyno. That's just my opinion of course. It never happend with my garrett that's for sure.

I call BS on not being able to run a lot of boost because of FRM sleeves. There are plenty of stock sleeve H22s making all kinds of power

Additionally, I call BS on "ebay" turbochargers not being reliable. A piece of metal is a piece of metal. They are perfectly fine for budget builds. Who wants to spend more on a turbocharger than the whole car is worth lol

when going ebay, you want to stay ways from "stainless manifolds",and "mini rams"

if you can go, cast do it (ebay)

also turbos from them aint that bad at all
seals are made from melted coaxial cable, but so what replace them

When you start with 200 HP you don't have to run a lot of boost to get a lot of horsepower. If you want to run a lot of boost though, the block can either be sleeved or destroyed after a few months, your choice.

i take it that you dont visit honda-tech and see the various stock h22's pushing good numbers without sleeved blocks.....

detonation can kill even a built block...the h22 can handle a good amount of boost...but no stock block is meant to handle the power of boost like that..the whole frm sleeve myth is just people reading a few posts and not experiencing anything or actual researching
