PM AH_HUH he recently just built (and tore apart) a very good looking DC2R-T

he can probably point you in the right direction

dont get stuff from ebay ...wasting ur money IMO

i know this is off the topic about e-bay....

but if you really wanna mod your DC2R and want to go F/I then check out AVO turboworld....they have a kit of a Type R...

Would be alot easier (probably alot more expensive)....but you'd be able to 'see' the kit and actually know what your getting before spending money on stuff your not 100% sure about.

Just an idea.

dont bother with ebay!
plz state how much ur wanting to spend, apporximately how much power you'd like to have, what you wat ur car to be able to do (as in track minded or drag) and we'll tell you if its feasible or not :)

ebay is great if you're looking for something specific


that turbo set up, on the other hand, is complete and utter shit. Put that on your dc2r and it'll slowly eat it away from the inside, turning the car into an early 80's ford pinto.

ive seen on EBAY USA manny quality looking turbo kits... GReddy, turbontics ETC, would there be anything wrong with getting those?

if they actually are made by those companies, nothing... there are a lot of people that sell "greddy style", etc, that are the same quality as the earlier mentioned kit



two things to look out for. Notice what the exhaust manifold on the first link looks like? If you ever see a manifold in a kit that looks like that, run far far away.

Also, notice the turbo. They have little id plates on them that say the brand, etc. The cheap ones, like in that kit, simply say "turbocharger" on them. Any quality one will have the brand written on it somewhere, etc.

looks like a ssautochrome kit??

what sort of price you looking to buy for as i may sell mine for the right price. All quallity gear with a prooven 196Kw @ 8psi on my type R , used for about 8-9000kms.....lol and a test drive before you actually buy it lol.....
p.m me if you are interested.

just rem most of the stupid US cars have the driver the other way round and the manifold doesn't fit! just be careful i've seen people buy these kits and then have to get the manifolds made up. Get an AVO kit tried and proven

shouldn't make a bit of difference on a integra... maybe on an s2k, but for a teg, won't make any difference

go ask UHUH he had that problem with his ebay turbo manifold......

When you turn the driver round they turn the engine around and the clutch slave is in the way. Also the turbo then mounts funny and does not fit properly.

[saxman]

the motor doesn't get turned around depending on lhd or rhd... the drivetrain is all completely the same. Engine sits the same, tranny sits the same, etc. I've done turbo installs on rhd and lhd cars... completely the same.

The issues you're describing are that of a poorly made manifold.. has nothing to do with rhd or lhd.
