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.

I hate these damn smog laws, but the kit is soo easy to take off, it doesnt even bug me. it takes like 1 hour to take it all off.

Rep Power: 0 i would drop my current turbo project to buy this kit if we got 10 people in on this....
i was the one a while back that posted the other group buy for the turbo kit... i ran out of money and i've been so busy with school that i sorta kinda gave up on my turbo kit.... i'm really sorry i didn't go all the way with it... so far i have the t3 turbo, and bov but i'm willing to sell it later if i do decide to go with this new kit...
lets say we do get 10 people in on this, would you give me a discount on the since i have my own t3 turbo or do you sell them in whole kits??
anyways... i'm interested... imboo@earthlink.net
dyno numbers, cost, etc...please

Rep Power: 0 dont sweat the dyno numbers are coming but this isnt the only turbo system i'm woking on i also have to do a sebring,celica,vibe grand national,mr2,and a mustang.i;ve been putting some of those guys off to develope this into an easy to install kit that makes power as good as it looks the only part i have left to make is the wastegate acuater mount and a short 3" air intake i apoligize for the wait but i am a custom fab shop so in order to give you guys custom work at kit prices i have to take care of those paying the custom prices

Rep Power: 0 catalyst told me the dyno for his car would be ready at 6:00 pm like 2-3 days ago....
oh well.. can't wait till the numbers come out!
would you give me a discount on the kit if i supply my own t3 turbo on top of the group buy price??
i just got mine rebuilt with new custom fins and housing...

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??
