Ok so I posted this question the night the site went down, plus I have added someother stuff, so here it goes:
this company claims that a '02si with a $4500 revhard kit gained 100hp?I dont know much about Turbos so, can this be possible while keeping the car street legal? and what about the $4500 price tag? woould I be better off spenging my nickels and dimes elsewhere? opinions please... ok here is a link to some photos: http://www.cybernationmotorsports.com/phot...oto041/real.htm Thanks Buck  |

That does sound pretty pricey, but I am sure there aren't a ton of kits out for your car especially emissions legal ones. I have heard the flow of the newer motors is pretty impressive, so gains with a turbo should be pretty substantial for you.

Being street legal depends on where you live. If you are talking 50 state legal like in Cali, and CARB exempt, there's no chance in hell.

Well since the Revhard kit uses an external wastegate, it won't be CARB exempt and 50 state legal. The GReddy kit is legal due to the use of an internal wastegate.

Damn so I gues the revhard kit is off the list....oh well then now i can use the $$ saved to buy some mugen coilovers......bwaaaahaha....nah...
any ideas on turbos, how more reliable is a custon turbo kit and what price tags do they carry? You're right Toys-b-us: There isn't hardly any 'ish for the car that is made by a reputable company and it doesnt cost a fortune, I had a hard time finding an exhaust. |
