Ok that's it!!!!! I have been praising the SF guys from the start and now I need to find a way to get their kit. I can't really save up for one because I have a baby boy due anytime now. So now I am going to start begging people to give or lend me some money. I will also take donations or even a sponsorship from SF to help them with their business here in the New Hampshire (northeast) area. ........Hey, I can't dream can't I?

Well, congrats on the kits guys. Mike, man, you really know what you're doing. Props

Yea, all we do is build honda stuff. We plan on making everything for the car. Pretty soon you will be able to buy a complete engine/turbo system from us and drop it into your car and go 11's.

I was launching at various RPM's. It spun the tires, so i would pulse the throttle to get it to hook. It worked out well for me.... 2.0 60'
are you guys for real?
i hope i will be in the 13's coming next drag.

That's weird. Here in New Hampshire anything under 13.00 requires a helmet and anything under 11.50 requires a full roll cage. My boy just ran his supra this past weekend and ran a 10.88@136mph without a cage. They kicked him right off the track! So funny. He just finished his T88 H single turbo swap and motor rebuild like a week before the run. Oh ya that run was also done WITHOUT slicks!!! With a little more tunning and some slicks he'll be running 9's!!!

For more info about my friends Supra, check out www.hudsonimports.com. The video of him running 10.88 is on there too.

for a while there I thought that our 1/4 mile times with turbos would be stuck at 14.2-14.8 but 13.2!??!?! It seriously is a dream come true. I am truely interested in seeing how an EX Civic can run under the same conditions.

EX will run relatively the same, unless you do weight reduction, the EX will consistantly make 10 more whp approximately, but it wieghs in at around 100-200 lbs heavier depending on lx or dx model you are comparing it to, and that more than makes up for the power difference.. cant wait to see what my lights a$$ NO a/c. NO power, stripped out trunk and somewhat lightened other places DX will run with the kit... i should have it here in a week or so... oh god.. now im all moist thinking about doing the install.... LMAO

Haha just kidding. 13.2 is crazy. And I know how people are saying that there's only a 10hp difference but couldn't you squeze more power out of the EX with an Apex V Tech controller? Or would it just not be worth the money? Just curious.

I remember when I first joined this site, and all i read was SWAP SWAP SWAP because our cars are slow, no potential, no one can do anything to them, just swap. Now, it's like TURBO that thing, SF! I want a SF , but I have no money, stupid rich people who after like a week can get a turbo. I just finished working at my job after 1/2 year, and I am barely making enough to get this turbo. But good for all of you guys. I love it when I can sit by my RSX friends, WRX friends, and Accord friends and say that I can and will eventually beat them. Much praise to SF for their continued support when civics were looked down upon. You guys da peepz.
