On3Performance 3v build

[Bullitt357]

I don't like hearing about recurring leaks! I wonder how the hellion kits compare in that respect...

I've had a Hellion kit on an 01 Bullitt and I can tell you first hand that their stuff fits right the first time. Their pipes are not out of round like a previous poster mentioned about this On3 kit. Nor did I have to use gasket maker on any of the connections. That is simply ridiculous. This just goes to show you get what you pay for.

When I get an 08/09 Bullitt, I can tell you what won't be going on my pride and joy. No way would I put up with recurring leaks, having to drill the turbo for the vacuum line, etc. I'm not that patient. My time and funds are limited and hell if I'm going to waste either.

You can come in here n bash it but truth it I paid 3,400 for everything including tune. And all I've had to do is tighten the header bolts, what is so wrong with that? You'll pay another 2g for your kit and get what? I've seen other turbos that don't have the tap in them also, plus I didn't have to tap the turbo I could have ran it to a vaccum line and been done with it. Hell I use gasket maker on everything I had to use it on my kooks mid pipe when I bought it because it leaked at the manifolds. My buddy bought a summit h-pipe and didn't have to use it. Its ok though go buy your hellion kit, I'll take the extra 2g. Being your funds are limited seems like you could use it also.

My time and patience are worth more than 2 grand. While on3 guys are trying to figure out what silicone to use for leaky pipes, where to drill and tap the turbo, figure out where oil leaks are coming from, etc....I'll be enjoying a well thought out kit that for 2 grand more comes with quality components from the get go. You are the same guys I see on construction sites that spend $50-$60 a every couple months on crappy work belts and bags. 15 YEARS ago I spent $120 on an Occidental tool belt and bags that feel like I was born with them wrapped around my waist. My point: you pay more now you get more in the long run and short run. Pay less and you get less.

It is very simple... these On3 kits have their place....in a big steel melting furnace where they can be used to make some nice shiny Ben Wa balls (they probably come from the same factory anyways). Then I would buy them for my wife. But as a turbo kit only if I was

Yes I used gasket maker did I have to no, there are plenty of other guys on corral who do not. I got a turbo that wasn't tapped most of the time they are from when you get them but I like where I did mine instead so it didn't matter. As far as quality do you have the kit do you know anyone that does? You probably read about all the old kits an I will admit they weren't as good, but in the last year or so he has made great progress with quality. I know your thinking the wastegate and stuff, ok I have 2g more to buy that and a boost controller and whatever else you want to say is going to fall apart. Don't be so quick to bash the kit I have put right around 430 miles on my car and drove it in the rain twice. I've only had to tighten everything once and my oil leak was my oil feed line not being tight enough. Which cause my oil leak, but go ahead spend your extra 2g on a kit that you think will be so much better. I'm happy with it now and I'm sure I'll be happy with it later as guys are making 600+ with these turbo kits on other forums.

 

[antonio1988]

Excuse me mr new site asshole, maybe you should search the threads and you can see that I have been interested in this kit since before this thread was up. But it's ok, you keep thinking what you want to think, because no one on here really gives a shit what you've got to say.

kthanxbye

 

[LSWHAT?]

Yeah I'm happy with the kit I got, and like I posted before, everything still isn't lined out on it. I'm 97% sure the oil leak is because of a loose fitting, which would be MY FAULT. I just haven't got to it yet becase I can't reach it, but it will be fixed when I take it all apart and heat wrap everything. I would much rather pay a shit ton less for basically the same thing. I'm not the kind of person that needs instructions and has to have every single nut and bolt labeled like the other kits so I think it's worth it to me. I think a little headache is for sure worth 2 grand+..

 

[08nastygt]

I agree with you 100% lswhat, but no one believes in these kits but a select few of us. Which is fine with me I'd rather have what I got then have bought a hellion kit or any other kit. If the turbo goes bad I still have lots of money to buy and even better one or anything else of that matter. The piping seems like good quality so I'm not worried about that since people have been running the piping for along time with no problems.

 

[rford426]

Ill be one of the next ones with it most likely...Haters can go fuck your selves and ill use the extra 2gs to forge my motor.

 

[JeremyH]

+1! Now that i have seen the piping with my own eyes, i am very impressed with the quality and price. I paid under half of what helion wanted for just their hotside.

 

[rford426]

15 YEARS ago I spent $120 on an Occidental tool belt and bags that feel like I was born with them wrapped around my waist.

Maybe if I was a construction worker for 15 years I could have saved up enough for a bullit and hellion kit..... but 15 years ago i was in pre-school...

You STILL don't get it. Who has been running these kits for a long time and your definition of a long time certainly is different than mine. These kits have been around for what, 6 months maybe? If your turbo does take a crap then you have to buy another one. so take that off the 2 grand. A decent turbo will cost you about a thousand dollars. So now you have a thousand left over. Whooppeeee!! You just saved a thousand dollars buying a kit that was made by people paid in rice and seaweed. Way to go!!

lol bro this guy is funny. He's that asshole that pays $100000 for something worth $10000 and then goes around flaunting what he's got while everyone looks at him and says... "... What a ***"

Exactly what a ass clown...But if you do your research bullit these kits are only new to the 3v they have been making a 2v kit and fox kit for sometime now that 2v kit has 10k++ miles on it....Soo once again goo throw your money away and ill have a built motor....

He ment on3, has been around for awhile they make kit for 96-98, 99-04, and 5.0 as well.

IM not doing bad:
on3 kit(minus turbo, bov, wastgate amd oil filter rel) $1590
precision 67mm turbo $600
Tial 50mm bov $150
Tial 38mm wastgate $200

Thats $2540 total with all seperate upgraded components.

Boy, the only one throwing away money will be you when you have to have pipes re-welded, turbos repaired or replaced, and have to buy other odds and ends like gasket maker, silly puddy, and bubble gum to stop the exhaust leaks. Didn't your daddy teach you anything? I'm guessing not.

 

[Bullitt357]

And what the hell is with all of those flex joints in their piping? That tells me they can't design a kit to fit right the first time, that it was slightly off.

I do admire Lightblade's resourcefulness. You other guys (antonio/rford) make me scratch my head about our educational system.

So, spill the beans... How much is John Urist & Co paying you? You have 23 posts, 90% are bashing this and the other 10% are one word thread replies. If you are so distraught about everyone buying the On3 kits, why don't you fund these guys' Hellion builds. Hell, while you are handing them out, I will take a Hellion kit as well! Please save us from the dreaded Chinese turbo kit and ourselves before it's too late.

 

[08nastygt]

These kits have been around for awhile bro and not one person has had a problem with piping. Turbo yes a select few but it does come with a 1 year warranty. Again all you say is were going to spend money on a 1000 dollar turbo so the precision or turbonetics he sells for 600 sucks? I shouldn't buy those named brand turbos? So again I'll save my $1,400 with my leak free because I have no leaks now. Better yet take someone who doesn't know much about cars and ask them which kit looks nicer. They won't tell a difference all my buddies say how nice it looks. Maybe you should question your own education as you don't get it. All you doing is getting butt hurt about a good cheap turbo kit.
