I know nobody buys this expecting to keep their good gas millage.... but how bad do you think the turbo kit is going to bring down the gas millage on our cars?

hks does seem like reputable company. aren't they based in cali anyway?

whats even better is that other companies will see this demand for the turbo and increase the R&D. namely, greddy, xs engineering, drag, f-max, vortech (superchargers). hks will certainly hit the jackpot on this one for being one of the first (turbo performance, of course)

it probably go down certainly, especially with the return fuel system and increase fuel injectors.just remember the air/fuel ratio: more air coming in, more fuel needed.

Im going to say this i was jsut looking at the turbo on the 4dr they have I really dont see a intercooler for one and tell me this does it llok like that turbo set up they have on there does it look like that the turbo is pushing the air straight to the throttle body. in better terms does it look like the turbo is sucking air tot he turbo it self then shooting it right into the throttle body sorry for not being specific about what im saying but jsut look at it and u will see what im talking about. HKS 4dr Turbo.

i'm sure its a much different setup now. its been like 8-9 months since they had those pics up. plus that was the prototype. i'm still more surprised that those that went to nopi didn't see the car in person. that's the only reason i would have gone to nopi nationals.

 
Rep Power: 0

hey desi did the set up look the same as it does in the pics? or did u see the real kick on the car.

 
Rep Power: 0

haven't seen it in person- that's why i wanted people who attended the nopi nationals to look for the car b/c thats where they would release the info.

I'm going to stat saving too even though I have an auto but more power is always good for our cars.[IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG]

Awesome, i've been waiting for 2 years for some FI. As for 200 hp at the wheels, i'm skeptical. That takes what, at least 9 psi of boost? With a 9.9:1 ratio, and not detonate the crap out of the engine.

looks like its gonna cost a pretty penny too, on the website the GT2510 turbo alone costs $1930 and when you add the new fuel system, the manifold, and so on, that looks to be a lot of money.........but then again i guess all turbo kits are a lot of money

 
Rep Power: 368

for this kit, I think its gonna cost us 3-5 grand. and well, its most likely 5 grand or more installed.

geez.

I'll wait. heh. till my warranty dies and I pay off the car.

 
Rep Power: 0

If had that much extra cash floating around, I would've bought a better car haha

 
Rep Power: 0

yeah, it best not cost no 5g's. Thats is way to much, but if it is really going to give us like 70hp mabey its worth it. I already have 1g saved up so far, that was going to be for my ground effects. Mabey I can be the first to get the turbo on this site if its really 200hp.

HKS needs to let their reps. know. At NOPI I talked to the HKS rep and he said "Turbo for the 2001 Civic?" "We are not doing one for that car." "But you can buy a bunch of turbo parts and peice one together maybe."

 
Rep Power: 424

200 HP??? Is that on stock internals (except the fuel system)? either way, that's cool... Better start saving money, drive off the warranty and get the car paid off first.

not to be an [IMG]i/expressions/moon.gif[/IMG] but.....

If you got this info from this thread, it seems kinda shady, considering that the person that posted the thread had only 6 posts AND his email is im@work.com

I want to hear this info from an HKS rep, not some guy that posts in forums. Hence, i'm not gettin my hopes up YET [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG]

if it's 3-5 grand, wouldnt you be better off just trading your car in for a prelude sh, then doing stuff to that and getting even more power than you ever could from our civic?
