Rep Power: 0 yea, i checked that one out. i just might get it.
http://www.staffordfabrication.com/m...pid=4&menu=302
it claims 185whp and 190ft/lb on regular gasoline. is that credible?
and it says it starts at $3100. do you think you get the numbers above w/ the base kit? or thats the numbers w/ multiple upgrades?

Rep Power: 0 hey shones or anybody, do you guys know if this guy is legit? cuz i was planning to buy that sf turbo kit from him, he says he changed one thing, the fuel kit, but i have no idea what that means. is it good to buy used turbos from other people?

so that is a modified sf turbo kit? i'm interested, but i'm not able to see the pics. i think the links are dead. is there another way you can show pics of it? and will it fit on a '01 civic?

it is modified sf kit, but the only thing different is the fuel kit. I bought the whole kit from sf, but somehow the sf fuel kit doesn't work. So i get rid of it and using the mf2. If u want the sf fuel kit, i can send the broken one back to them and have them fixed and send it back to you. Just make sure it is not running lean with the sf fuel kit. About the pics, the links are dead for some reasons. You can go to my memeber ride page and check it.

is your car a '01? cuz mine is and i dunno if it will fit on my car if yours is not an '01. have you dyno'd the car w/ the turbo on? how much whp and torque is it? is it close to what they claim?
leonhsieh wrote on <font color="blue">Today</font> 01:00 AM:
It should fit 2001 no problem. I dynoed the car at 147hp and 152 tq, which is a lot less than what normal people claim because i have automatic. Because the insuffieient of the tranny, i lose about 30 horepower at the transmittion. But it still fast tho. If you have mannual, you will be able to make 175 to the wheel at 7psi.

Just be careful if you're buying. Members are waiting many months to get one built. Others have reported numerous fitment probs. It's also true that alot of people here have nice, working kits. It's alot of money to spend, so just giving you a heads up.

Rep Power: 0 u know how to install this kit? 'cuz i'm planning to buy it w/ the group buy at the discounted price of roughly $2800 shipped. 'cuz ordering it directly from them would cost $3600 shipped. how much would you charge for the installation? but might not be for a while, 'cuz shipping takes 3-5 weeks w/ this deal.

Rep Power: 0 hey all i have an 02 ex with an extreme kit for 2600 shipped, and i love it. i put it on the mustang dino and at 6psi iwas putting down 164 whp. it's a ball bearing turbo so it reacts really nice. downshift and bam your boostin. putting the kit in is not for begginners, i had to do some modifications to make it work. like the vacume holes on the injector interface did not line up so i drilled the hole on the edge to widen it out just a notch to line up with the throttle body vacume holes. and the piping is not precise. you will have to fabricate for this to work on the 7th gen due to the pullys in the way.
for the price you'll have a few bucks left over to get what you need.
