Availble in two diffen't stages. Superior and Extreme. http://turbodiscounters.com/html/turbo-honda.aspx They already have 8.5:1 comp ration pistons out for 375$ http://turbodiscounters.com/html/pistons.aspx Has anyone heard anything about this before?

Those numbers aren't too great for 8lb. What's 56% going to amount to? maybe 150-160hp.
Isn't RiceBurnerEX running 8psi putting 200hp down?

[CarbonFly]

RiceburnerEX was able to make 197whp with 8lbs of boost. But I think he had a few more mods done.

Sweet !
I was going to buy a B16 for my 85 CRX, but for the same $$
(Just about) I can turbo my 2k1
COOL

If you look on the parts list for the Superior set, It does not come with an intercooler or Bov,
Intercooler itself probley worth 15-20 whp on a turbo set up. Im assuming this Superior set would be cheaper than 2600$? If you notice the superior sets are alot cheaper than the extreme.

[Boosted2k2]

I was talking about the 56% increase from the Extreme kit which has the intercooler. The Superior set only says 30% increase @ 5lbs.

Yes you can.

[sawgunner06]

If I do what do I need to do as far as after market mods. And what about the Cat Converter in the LX will that make a diff in the turbo.

Extra injectors? Isn't that the cheap, easy, and somewhat inconsistent way of doing a fuel system?
Stafford Fab. has the only real way of doing a fuel system for these cars, and it doesnt require a return line likle most people think. And it doesnt need a new fuel rail, new injectors, or anything. Works with all stock parts.

How hard is it to install your fuel kit? is it easier than 3 wires, a fuel in and fuel out?

this sounds exciting!!! time to start saving!!!!

Let me get this right. For civic 2002 LX I'm looking at 179.4 HP with the turbo?

Something around that. And that is enough to beat an RSX-S.
