No, I haven't gotten the chance to get the cam gear or my VAFC tuned yet. I have alot going on @ home, school and work. IT SUCKS..I did adjust the VAFC to run a little better though.

How long does it take to get the freaking KMS I.M. I placed an order for my on 6/20, money has been deducted from my C.C. but I still didn't get it. They dont even bother to keep their customers updated on their orders. How long did it take you guys to get your I.M.'s ?

yeah, I know robb and I were part of that 1st order and it took over 2 months i believe before we got it.....we were pretty pissed, but in retrospect,keep in mind that these are handmade and kms makes a bunch of other stuff as well so it's not like john has 20 guys sitting around making IM's for 7th gens. Yes, he is lousy at updates and you should just call him to hear it straight from his mouth.Good luck, enjoy your IM when you get it

well damn...i read all 11 pages of this friggin thread and it seems that only one other person has as many bolt ons as me...and if i had the money to get the KMS IM right now i would...and I would also dyno the damn thing right away...there is a couple shops here in Sacramento...

These are my mods as follows:

DENSO Iridz
Race Design Intake
AEM Cam Gear and Pulleys
Apexi N1 Catback Exhaust
Top Speed SS Header/Downpipe

now all i would need is the IM and the VAFC II...all it will take is a little while to save enough fundz, and I can get them....i haven't seen any dyno numbers yet tho and are curious to see what people are pulling wit the IM....well....i will let yall know when I do get these two very important components...other than that, PEACE!!

I recently installed a cam gear on my vic to tune for the short runners on the manifold. I retarded it about 3 degrees and got back the top end I was missing. I don't plan to dyno untill I get vafc2.
Just some new fyi for ya people.

If your so worried about what it does, get one....It's not crap anyways...As soon as I get the chance to tune it I will, but I'm trying to get my body kit and I just got my wheels and koni struts...Do you want to pay for my tuning?

This products wont work unless u got a turbo.... That's why most turbo integras and civics have intake manifolds for boost.

I went to a local shop in SCali and they told me that anything with an intake manifold (like this one) can be boosted... basically saying that you u need a manifold (like this one) to boost an engine..

I know that some of you have turbos already installed.... but does
anyone have both this Manifold and a turbo installed? I'm sure the numbers would be around 175-190 WHP after getting it tuned or even more with other mods.. fuel rail, pullys, adjustable cam gear... ........................ Hit the bottle> hit 250 and blow your engine... lol

If i had the cash i would be this manifold and a turbo. but i don't... so i i'll stick with my small mods till my GF starts working and she can help with the bills... lol

Ask him what the deal is...I'd be curious to know what is going on myself. I was reading over at HT that there has been some serious issues with him. Make sure that you don't get screwed!

The reason I bought this up is because I am interested in an aftermarket intake manifold (down the road). It seems like a favorite over at HT is the JG Edlebrock, giving all around torque and HP gains. Only thing is, its for older civics....

Man I wish some of these larger companies would start building stuff for our cars, that way we'd have some R&D (as well as dyno proof) backing up some of their claims...
