Turbo kit for LX?

Does anyone make one? can someone provide a website? I tried searching but "LX" is too short of a keyword. Thank you!

Thanks for the quick reply. Just for reference, does any kit for the EX fit on the LX as well? Does SF have their own website? Is everything that is needed come w/ the SF turbo kit? As in bolt on and drive (tuned of course) What are you using for tuning? Thanks again.

no u cannot use a lx kit on an ex .. only because of the downpipe... the O2 sensors are in different places...

everything is included in the SF kit included a fuel system.
once kit is installed theres no need for tuning.

theres always room for improvment as far as air/fuel and vtec engagement... you really don't need to tune the car once you get the kit but if you're looking to get max performance from the turbo kit, buy some electronics and head over to a shop that'll dyno tune it for you...

YEs, that is the plan, dyno tuning w/ air fuel will always provide maximum power, and more importantly, safety. I was wondering what kind of ems has been used successfully w/ the 01+....we have used hondata and aem ems w/ great success on the integras, eks, and egs. But I don't know which systems are available for the em.
