I doubt it will include management at that price. And if it does Im NOT buying it cause that just sounds too cheap.

 

Per Kevin at CX Racing the kit will include:

Turbo, manifold, downpipe, intercooler, piping. It is a complete bolt on, no relocation is needed. All you need is ECU, most people will do piggyback.

Price will be around $2000.

 

it not a bad price but put it this way my turbo for my car cost 1100 that is just for the turbo. the only thing i dont like about the kit is the turbo because of it being internally wastegated. but that is some thing you can change.

 

Yeah that would definitely be my first upgrade to the kit other than adding injectors and an AEM FIC.

 

Anyone try this kit out yet?

 

someone told me he will take 1400.00 shipped if you keep asking

 

haha ya I'd imagine he would seeing how cheap all the other kits on his site are. Also on ebay they are 1499 +shipping. I knw with something like a turbo you shouldnt cheap out but I am really curious how well these kits work. 1400 for a turbo set up would be really nice as long as your not looking for crazy hp numbers.

 

Hey guys..

Im not really a car expert but Im really thinking about buying this. I have a Automatic with a full cat back 3" exhaust and a cold air set-up...If I bought this kit what else would I need?

I would love juice out another 50 - 60hp out of my box would this CXracing kit be capable of something like that?

1500$ is killer!

 

sure, if your also not scared of blowing your engine

 

dude since urs is auto get headers and build ur engine... dont buy this.

 

the header is useless no power only noise i would run a50 shot over a header buy the zex tc kit it fits the xb2

 

what im saying is that turbo kit is worthless... hes better off goin with the header or the ZEX kit like u said cory

 

Gude head package, 50 very solid HP for $1800.

 

Where's the proof?

 

The proof is in a history of winning race results.

Many companies are happy to take a dump in a box and call it a turbo and make claims about how much power it will create. Some will even go so far as to put one on a car and show you video of it running.

It takes a whole other level of effort to build something and race it over and over pile up the wins and develope enough of a costomer base to go into prodution. Do this for twenty plus years without going bust. They are obviously aware of what they are doing, that is why people pay to hear what the man has to say.

 

As nice as this all is, I'd rather see dyno results. I hear Gude is actually hit and miss on some places, and that is why I'd like to see results. When you're spending ~1800 dollars, you shouldn't take someone's word for it to work without proof.

 

Yeah and it would cost more to tune and buy management... but I mean still 50hp for just over $2k would be nice.

 

~50 whp from a $1500 5-6psi turbo kit is worthless? Please tell me why because I am seriously considering this kit. I already have headers, NST UD pulley, CAI, TRD axle-back and I've probably gained 15-20 whp at best.

 

Of course you'd be considering this.

Here are the problems:
Any moving parts are unreliable at best and that's being nice about it. The turbo, the internal wastegate of the turbo, the blow off valve.
You definitely need to upgrade injectors, no doubt. I'd think that stock injectors would be running at over 80% of their duty cycle if you turbo the car.
You need engine management of some sort. This is a given.
If it's 304 stainless steel for the exhaust manifold/header or whatever it is, do you really think it's ready to stand up to the heat? 304 stainless is okay for N/A applications, but IMO, not for turbo. Add to the fact that there's a lot more hanging off the manifold/header if you go turbo, so do you also think it can handle the stress?

The kit isn't worth it for what you get. I'd say it's worth around 700-800, like their other kits for the Prelude/etc.

That's my take on it and how it isn't worth it. If you wanna buy it, then good luck, as usual.

 

Of course you are bashing this kit.

Are you certain that the turbo, wastegate and BOV are "unreliable at best"?

Are you certain that larger injectors and engine management are required for 5-6psi boost?

Are you certain that a 304 manifold can't handle the heat and stress of a 5-6psi turbo setup?

I'm getting conflicting info from you, CXR and many other sources. For example:

Since I've never installed a turbo before, I appreciate hearing your more experienced opinions. Which kit would you recommend for 5-7psi boost and a a stealthy side-mount IC?
