Drag Turbo Kits

[CowHerdingjoe]

I've been on the prowl for a new Turbo Kit, ever since I found out RevHard won't be making a kit for 02' Civic Ex's. I came across Drag Turbo Kits, and they seem like a pretty sweet package despite the fact that they are a couple hundred more than most kits.($3995). Do any of you guys have any opinions/info/rants/facts about this kit? I'd really apreciate the input.


"The kits do come complete with everything you need to turbo charge your car and all necessary components are included."

"If installed properly most kits will add easily and additional 100+ HP to the wheels as measured and proven on a DynoJet Dyno meter. For example the 2000 Acura GSR kit on a stock motor will produce around 270-275Hp to the wheels at around 7-8 PSI of Boost."

How much boost can this kit handle?
"Most kits are designed to run between 6-12 PSI of boost on a stock engine; however, all kits are capable of supporting up to 450hp and 25 psi of boost provided you have the proper fuel management and a properly built motor."

I'm going to bump this mother in light of these hellish 3-4 days

Looks pretty good. If they are the only ones that are going to make a kit for your car than I guess you should get it. Looks like it makes good HP gains.

im interested in finding out about drag turbos too havent heard much about them but on one post someone said they used rebuilt turbos and they have had to send the turbo back 2 times

[PWMAN]

Never heard that...
Could be true though, have any proof? A website that says they are rebuilt turbos?

[slicvic]

what compny makes these drag turbo kits? is it rev hard?

[PWMAN]

DRAG makes their own kits.
REVHARD is a different company.
GREDDY is another turbo company
MAXREV
BALLISTIC
APEXI

I can't think of any more right now but most companys are pretty much by themselves. They are all pretty good, they all have their ups and downs.

Check to see if you can get this kit in ebay, i saw it some day ago, and it usually cheaper, they use turbonetics turbo charger, so i guess they are pretty much reliable cuz i only heard good things about turbochargers from turbonetics...but check it out though. also check fmax turbo kits http://www.turbokits.com and email those guys, ask them if they have one for your car, they currently have a special on the site $400 off the regular price...

y'all oughta buy the turbos we take off toyotas, they put out 12-15psi, and we put 20-25 psi units in their places, put a post on Tercel Online for low mileage units, the cutouts we buy are less than 50,000 miles usually, and you can always have them rebuilt.

cronic said drag manifolds crack, Supra650RSP said he had to send it
back a few times....the name of the thread is "which turbo" do a search and their are a couple people their not very happy w drag also they said they use rebuilt turbos thats why so cheap..but im still debating on getting a drag turbo

[PWMAN]

Well you can find revhard kits, if you look, cheaper than DRAG so why bother with DRAG. Revhard is WAY better.

[rygan21]

why are they better?

[PWMAN]

Better technology, more research. Better HP gains, better quality.

[rygan21]

why?

[PWMAN]

Revhard researches to give you better power gains. DRAG just tries to give you a cheap turbo kit.
