New to the forum just picked up 91civic hatch,will b posting pics later,really wanna hook it up,the right way!
Thats not entirely true.Cheap, Fast, Reliable.. you can only pick 2, the 3rd is what it will not be.
For sure. It depends what your definition of fast is. Just faster or really fast? and how lucky you are with ebay parts, lol. Some guys are happy with 5-8psi of boost and you can do that cheap. But most people dont stay happy with thatThats not entirely true.
Cheap + Fast = Not Reliable most the time. This statement can vary depending on the attention to detail, builder, and
What does that even mean?really wanna hook it up,the right way!
So wait.. you refuted the statement by supporting it?Thats not entirely true.

If you can't depend on it to run for the purpose you built it for and cheap parts break regularly than the statement stands.
I have heard the stories of ebay chargers lasting thousands of miles, but very rarely. More times than not you'll have boost spikes, leaks, lean out conditions and other supporting mods cheaped out on that cause catastrophic failures. Great you spent 1500 on an ebay kit, pushing WG pressure of 8.5 lb, got a chip burned on a "buddy street tuned it" for a grand total of a 2k build cost on the stock D or B series... how long do you think it's going to last? Given luck and driving habits, probably less than the guy who sourced,matched, supported and had a reputable shop tune for a specific goal. Yeah it cost him 3 times as much, but he isn't sourcing a new motor 6 month after his build is complete.
Spend more up front so you don't have to buy it twice or replace something else due to it's failure.
Like I stated, the biggest factor is the builder and the attention to detail in the build. A person knowing nothing can build a $5oo0 engine and the engine last a few thousand miles if lucky. But an experienced builder can build a reliable engine on a lower budget and make similar if not more power.So wait.. you refuted the statement by supporting it?
