Anyone familiar with CX Racing brand?

[Iodes]

I do a lot of browsing on Andy's Auto Sport and Summit and stumbled across this intercooler & turbo kit.

It seems like a pretty good deal, but I wouldn't want to waste money on parts from sub-par manufacturers. If anyone knows anything about this brand or even this product, please share.

CX racing is crap. Please buy from a vendor that supports us. If your looking for a turbo I suggest forced performance. They are pricy but well worth the money

The piping clamps and couplers are probably the only things that will last in that kit, probably.

The core is good too. It's the same kit as punishment but that's about it. Your better off buying a 14b from the classifieds then buying this turbo. I'd be surprised if it lasted till your next oil change

It's a very common eBay brand. Their radiators, intercoolers, and exhausts work fine. I would never use one of their turbos. Hope this helps!

I agree on the core too, they are not bad.

Cx racing is not too bad. My buddy ran the radiator and fmic in his 240sx for a few years now. if you're looking for a good fmic and want to save a little money go with a VRSF fmic. Hope I could help.

I'm from the Nissan camp and most of my buddies run there piping kit and intercoolers. I personally run there couplers on my greddy intercooler kit on my 240sx(had to replace with something after a few years)you can get a crap ton of them for like 10 bucks. Their exhausts are fine too just take it in to a muffler shop and have then weld on a few more supports for the brackets and your good to go.

Junk. Lucky to make it past 5000 miles with one of their turbos.

Godspeed and CX Racing aren't brands- they're eBay sellers who got popular selling junk parts at cheap prices....much like SS Autochrome and XS Power of old. Some work, most don't. You're better-off spending your money on used OEM parts.

Thanks for all the comments, guys. I did more research and this "brand" has really mixed reviews, and I'd rather buy something with mostly positive ratings.

I bought their universal intercooler kit; came with more than enough tubing, couplers, and clamps. I also just bought their 1g GST cat-back exhaust (one of the few companies that makes these) has a great note my only gripe is that the hangers on the muffler end are for 92-94 so I had to do a little rigging until I get time to weld on new hangers that will make it fit a bit better. After my 1st purchase they gave me a 15% off coupon (this was for 2 silicon couplers $30 purchase), however, they gave me an expired one. Called the rep and she ended up giving me a 20% coupon which I used to buy the exhaust, it came in quite handy saved me about $60. If you need inexpensive parts on a entry level HP'd car they work perfectly. I would recommend them for the "on the cheap" dsmer.

Radiator is radiator. My CX is holding up fine. So is my cx intercooler.

I currently am running this brand intercooler and piping have had 0 problems on 20 psi havnt had a problem.

Just get a VRSpeedFactory one, much better quality and fit, super cheap, comes with everything you need. If you have a 14b or 16g turbo you'll need a j-pipe, if not, make sure you get piping to hook it up to your stock t25.

The piping clamps and couplers are probably the only things that will last in that kit, probably.

The clamps don't even hold up. The 'T' portion has a poor yellow zinc treatment that quickly rusts. I snapped half of them the first time I was taking some piping apart. The only stainless steel part is the band. To top it off, they were sized in metric but used a 7/16" nut.

The couplers were alright. The intercooler core was solid. The radiator I got from them (Honda half-rad) was also solid, except for the radiator cap and drain plug. But they were easily replaced.

I was going to purchase a CX racing intercooler kit with the 20g setup because it was a pretty fair looking deal with all you are getting. A "punishment racing" a-like FMIC and a "ebay" 20G that many DSMers run after modifying them without issues. Instead I purchased the "Punishment Racing" FMIC and I'll be purchasing a Godspeed 20G from Godspeed directly, that or going with a T28 but that's beside the point.

The point is, if you spend much more time and go ALOT deeper in researching that "kit", CX Racing, "Ebay" 20G turbo's and other things you might find some surprising stuff outside of a lot of negative comments quickly fired off into your thread here.
