Any update on this Deejai35? I'd be interested to see what is happening....

There is a new turbo kit for our cars being built now. The design phase is over, and the parts are currently being constructed so that they can be put on the car and test it. As the kit has not been tested or completed, I can only provide limited information at this time.

Who: Xtreme Power & Performance (XPP Racing)
What: 2001+ Civic Turbo kit (EX at first...)
When: Full production by the end of summer

All I can tell you at this point is that it will be competitive with the other turbo kits, but will definately be a different setup. And it will be upgradable to other stages.

well considerin that SF is the only one proven to actually fit and work properly on our cars with out NE problems... id have to say SF is the better kit.. not due to HP because of not having results.. but due to reliability , quality and customer service.

SF RULES.

XPP Racing Turbo Kit

The kit is still under development... some things are taking longer than expected. The manifold is a tubular design and as close to equal length as possible. The machine shop is still working on it. The kit features an HKS SSQ BOV. The turbo is a Mitsubishi T28, popular among DSM tuners and its good for up to 300hp. Stage 1 is non-intercooled, Stage 2 is intercooled and Stage 3 will add other features such as larger injectors and additional fuel management.

We are still working out details with the remaining parts... missing link, air filter, and various piping.

I will update you as soon as the manifold is finished and we can begin testing the kit.

So you are going with a T28....Cool. Do you have to get rid of your AC or will the piping accomodate it? Stage 1 and 2 will not come with any sort of fuel management? I'm not sure I understand. Are you saying that to get a "full kit" I would need to purchase stage 3?

I know you are trying to hold off on the details until its done, but I'm anxious!

As I stated before, the kit is still under development. You will be able to keep your AC. Also, I stated that before, there will be ways to customize the kit with whats important to you. You are not limited to a stage 3 kit for the fuel management. And the stage 3 hasn't been determined yet... I apologize for any confusion. But Stages 1 and 2 are different based mainly on the intercooler.

with stage IV you would see low low 11's for all the morons out there.. i cant wait.. i plan on getting the head package, head gasket, alcohol injection, better axles, and building my bottom end... already have quotes from dave hickman for a whole engine, but i need to do 1 piece at a time... besides, most all that stuff isnt even out yet... i have the equall length manifold, and bigger turbo upgrades for now.. lets see what comes later.. 20 psi + 50-75 shot in our cars would hit low low 11's i think, maybe even like a 10.9 if car was setup right....

Everything depends on the driver. SFpower could run a car and hit 13.5 in it, the Dave could get in the car and run a 12.9.
