SSAutochrome turbo kits...worth a shiot?
SSAutochrome turbo kits...worth a shiot?
anybody have any experience with these? for the price, it seems a little sketchy. i may buy one anyways, but i was curious to see is anyone else had tried. they are the kits that are sold on Ebay for the DOHC KA.
ahhh the on going question... like above do a search, you will come up with tons of threads with opinions and what not.
it seems to me that most people that have all negative things to say about them have never used their products.
i've said it before, and i guess i can say it again. their things do the job. you get what you pay for but their stuff isn't like made out of plastic. i have one of their kits and it works. now would i have this kit if i wanted 300+ whp? probably not. WD and many others on this forum have massive power from their ka's, so it makes sense they would not reccommend this kit, and neither would I if you're going for large numbers. if you're looking for a small power upgrade (relatively 50% more power) that will make your car faster than most regular street cars, then the kit is great. this topic has been beaten to death and many people will say what i just said and many people will say that their stuff is total crap.
not trying to be an *** or anything, and i'm not trying to start an argument, but i really interested in seeing someone post up with negative experience with their products, because i haven't seen anyone say specifically that "i had this kit and it was crap" or something to that effect. you usually just see the opinions of people that don't like this company's stuff, and then the people who have their kit are usully the positive side of their products.
please someone prove me wrong... i mean for all i know wdracing and npaulseth have had experience with their products... i honestly don't know who has actually had negative experience.
anyway just search the forum and see the opinions i guess, that's the best thing to do.

thanks for the input guys. im going to hold off on the SS kit, because im going with a better, more powerful setup. im looking to make at LEAST 300whp and somehow i dont think the SS kit will be able to deliver that kind of power, or reliability for that matter. anywho, ill keep everyone posted as things progress.
