HKS 1.8 kit
 

There is a HKS 1.8 kit selling for $1400 used. He is claiming that it is a full kit but I wanted to know a few things

1. How is the kit itself vs FM kits
2. Based on the pictures, does the kit truly contain everything?
3. Will this fit an NB1 1.8?

it seems to be missing a downpipe and a boost gauge

There's clearly a downpipe.

There's no way i'd pay $1400 for this piece of shit.


I'd like to see more pictures of the electronics, though... Looks like an old PFC FCON? Which leads me to believe it's not a 1.8 kit.

Double post.

1. This isn't a kit. This is garbage. This can't even be compared to FM's kit. Not even same ballpark.
2. See 1.
3. See 1.

There IS HKS kit parts there.... but it's been bastardized and shit.

If it's truly a 1.8 HKS kit, offer him like... $300 or something. The manifolds weren't TERRIBLE, and it's a T2 frame turbo, so easy upgrading down the road.

And i'll give you like... $30 shipped for the FCON just to put it in my collection.

No. Just no.

EDIT: Also " :rofl: " at the "inter-cooler" (ie: coolant-heater).

Those aren't bad manifolds as cast manifolds go. Air to water intercooler is always a bad idea unless you are using a bucket of icewater changed every quarter mile. Little turbo is nothing special.

Mani - $250
Downpipe -$80
Turbo- $300

That kit is barely worth half the price no!

This kit is pretty much an amalgam of all the terrible non-ebay forced induction parts ever built. Good luck if anything breaks, let alone if it works to begin with.
