is this a good deal?

[92integ]

ok well i got a 92 integra with the stock B18A1 engine in it and this guy i know said he can get me a complete turbo setup for $300, the only thing on the turbo that will be used is the manifold and the intercooler everything else is brand new

also he has a B16 engine he will sell me for $800

and the complete setup to convert my integra to right hand drive for $1,200


are any of these good deals?

wouldnt it be tough to get use to driving on the right hand side?

that turbo setup sounds like a bomb deal!
sounds like you got the hookup! but I dont know much, lets see what the gurus say

Considering you didn't list the parts to his set-up, i'd look into the quality of parts he's offering you. Shity turbo parts are going to cost you more then $300 in the long run.

The b16 engine sounds like a legitment price, Although it's a roll of the dice when you buy a raw engine.

Conversion: i don't get it.

Remember, you get what you pay for.

what do u mean by " Conversion: i don't get it."?

but i dont know what the turbo is made by ill ask him later today when hes off work, but it comes with everything and he says for an extra $100 he will help me install it. im sure he knows what he is doing he built my brothers civic hatch

excally...

hmm.. 300 bucks..? are you sure its not like a dodge shadow turbo...j/k
sounds like a steal, either on your part, or his...lmao..

yea i think tipically, a decent turbo kit everthing is around 600-700...but then you need trany work and clutch upgrade i would recomend...

haha..my boy got a clip from japan sent via the net to him for his, 94 hatch rhd convesion cost him bout 1400, but he ran into more trouble then it was worth, firewall fucked him up...

but good people do offer good deals to people they like its a proven fact...so i would examine the turbo, find out who had it installed and what experences they had, ask maybe why its still not in there car..?

some of those prices seem to good to be true...its your call

[jpeso23]

you could also buy his set up, TURBO.. then turn around and if it really is a good part set up, sell it to one of your buddies for like 500 then get you a whole new set up, all parts new, with all attachments, and misc peices..

[92integ]

well the turbo came off his 92 integra, he took it off be4 he sold it

what u mean ur buddy ran into some problems with the firewall?

and at the moment my integra is an automatic but im gettin ready to convert it to a manual since ive blown about 3 automatic trannys now

[jpeso23]

something abuot having to cut to much away to make the clip fit, im really not sure, he eventually got the clip installed, but soon after the cas was broken into at the paint shop and had suspension and basically ne thing worth taken stolen from it...so thats neither here nore there.... haha... dam so your a auto trany killer huh... sweet.. at least you go hard...

dam man you must have money to burn.....

does he a ne garrentees to provide you with if you let him install?

[92integ]

yeah im prolly not gonna do the right hand drive conversion, but i wanna do the turbo or get the gsr motor for $800....either way im still gonna turbo my car

i havent talked to the guy at all today to ask him what kind of turbo it is so i still cant answer that question

and yupp I EAT AUTOMATIC TRANNYS

IMO RHD is point less, is not even for looks, if you want a RHD get a Skyline, something that we don't have in the U.S, then that a other story, but since is just a teg, save your money, and spend on it performances mods.

i'm with you here, it like buying a b18c5 and slapping a type-r sticker on there.

List the parts and brand names that come along with the turbo kit. Then we can evaluate it from there.
