Nice, i wish California didn't have such gay *** laws. Hell you can do all you can to make it legal, like plugging in o2 sensors & using a hi flow cat but if it is not C.A.R.B approved come smog time you're screwed.

Rep Power: 0 Maybe we can get the people in California to send us money and then we can tell them all about how our turbo cars run.

Rep Power: 0 just got back from the dyno. now remember this is a bone stock lx(no v-tec ) 117 hp at the fly wheel .also this kit is a strait bolt on no ajustment no tuning put it on and go the only thing we did is change plugs (which will come in the kit)it was run on a superflow dyno the only one in town he charged me a hundred bucks for two pulls i wouldn't have done it but you all wanted some numbers so here they are 164.9hp 166.1torque at 7psi . estamated fly wheel hp is222.8 an torque is220.7 .thats about a 90% gain!!!! i would turn it up but i dont think his clutch will hadle it. plus here in california we only have 91 octane . it can probly handle 3-4 more psi no without any othermods except the clutch if there is anybody inthe area w/ an ex i'll give them a free install any by the dyno runs just so i know what it will do

Rep Power: 0 okay lemme summerize with some of my own baseline dyno's...
this is our baseline dyno from K&N when they dyno'd my LX 5 speed.. roughly
101 HP at the wheels bone stock
Now SF power turbo systems says their turbo system hit:
165 HP at the wheels @ 7 psi
with no other mods except the fuel mod and colder plugs that came with the kit.. not to mention NO tuning of the turbo system....
that's roughly a 64% GAIN over stock!!! and
99% HP gain at the flywheel (honda webpage says 115hp stock)
Keep in mind that with a little bit of tuning, these numbers WILL go up!
where are all you people with your money??
