Very attractive Turbo Kit

Go and checkout
http://www.hotimportperformance.com/turbokits.htm

CHeck out there Stage 2 one. It seems very complete for the price. I was looking into the Greddy Kit for my 95 S14 but this one offers much more, like a Greddy Type S BOV, Intercooler, bigger Injectors, 300zx MAF..etc.. Has anyone tried this kit before? All the parts seem to be high quality too. I sent an email asking for the brand on the turbo and if it was remanufactured or something. I'll keep you guys posted! if everything sounds good I'll get it. How's a 1 years warranty on Turbo, Manifold and downpipe sound?

Most of the components are high quality. The pistons are Ross forged, those are very good. I saw a stage 3 that had those pistons and it was 6,400. The same for the rings I belive.

I just got an email from them they said:
(Regarding the Turbo Brand and other components)

The turbo is a garrett turbo hybrid with a turbonetics turbine housing (awesome unit) , everything
is brand new nothing is remanufactuered whatsoever, This is a complete Bolt On kit, With everything
installed properly no codes should be thrown (i.e. Maf Sensor that is included, E-Manage, etc etc)
Let us know if you have anymore questions, or when you are ready you can order from the website.

Thank you
================================
Seems like a good deal to me! Imam get that sucker!

I was planning on fixing the body 1st, but I'll do that after I turbo it. I don't want the bumper or anything getting scratched since i would have to remove it, plus, I would have to pay again since i'm planning on getting this bumper:

you'll see a turbo S14 with a Black right fender, a green right door on faded white paint on faded hubcaps.......oh...the beauty of it.. I'll get that kit ASAP. I was looking into the Greddy kit, but my friend owns a California Certified Smogging place, they'll pass me w/ anything. I'll keep you updated!

It all depends on how much air you plan on stuffing into the cylinders, if you start boosting 20 pounds with a KA, its not going to last to long due to the compression. If you boost 7-9 pounds the engine should hold up, it's an Iron block. Just remember that the KA is normally aspirated, so if you start stuffing tons of boost in there bad things are going to happen....

i wrote the company and asked and this was their response:

I would recommend no more than 15 psi on stock internals, properly tuned via the Emanage. And 350whp is at 14-15 psi.
But this kit can do close to 450whp with proper internals, or you can get the Stage 3 kit that has the needed internals.
let us know if you have anymore questions. Thank you

I remember that a while back I was going to get a similar turbo kit from another company and they said the same thing. 15PSI seems to be the max the KA24DE can do, but I still think it's risking it. I want to get the Ross Pistons w/ Pauter Forged rods. A 15PSI boost should be safe w. those internals. I don't want my engine to blow, not just yet. =D I
I'll start mine at 7.5 or 8 to be safe.

uhhh, if u go to the site now, its no longer a greddy BOV, if u are getting it, try and get them to put it back or drop the price. give them some trouble and they'll probably cough it up.

also they told me that everything would be fine running with what they said. after reading around a bit it seems no one wants to run at 15psi with stock internals and gasket. this company failed to mention any of that to me as if it wouldnt be any concern at all to me. just check up on them thats all.
