This kit is comprised of the best names in the industry. Aeromotive, Walbro, Earl's, B&M, etc... It will be more than the SF kit but well worth it. Wait until we release the first few kits and then the feedback rolls in on how easy it was to install or how well it works. You guys have much to be excited about.

On that note I'm installing the same kit on my 7th gen very soon. As soon as Wes decides he needs a vacation to Florida

It's going to be more than SF yes. We aren't cutting costs so if you are looking to save money this kit is not for you. It's for serious people who plan on making more power in the future. There will be two options for everyone to save money.

1.) Give us your stock fuel rail and we'll refund you $25
2.) Choose standard fuel lines over braided fuel lines

The kits will be released very soon along with pricing.

guys, the kit is performing perfectly....when i get in the car, i am really really quiet, so that when i turn the key, i can here the high flow fuel pump kick in.....it is cool.... and you can here the fpr pressurize....turn the key to start, and it runs like a top....i have gotten on the throttle pretty hard several times, and it never misses a beat...i am going to try and install my aem uego wideband tomorrow, so that i can see exactly what the a/f does at idle, and half, and fuel throttle....will keep you posted....

For an electric supercharger to work - it needs to be this:

Than - since it heats up so damn much (and draws a sheitload of juice) - you can only run it for short bursts, like N2O.....

As soon as the fuel rails are ready the kits will be available. Initially, until we round up enough fuel rails and weld bungs, we'll only have 2 or 3 kits for sale. The first people to contact us will get the kits.

We encourage you guys to send us your stock rails so we can keep pumping out these kits. We will refund the $25 core charge upon receipt of the rail.

Thanks and stay tuned.

^hmmm very nice. So what else would be needed to tune the set-up? E-manage or AFC Hack, or what other options? Can you tune the system manually in lets say 500RPM increments on a dyno? Like what kinda of adjustements can be made with the kit alone?
Sorry for all the questions!

Well, you will have the same fuel system as previous gen civics so you can tune in the same manner that they do. Since you already went through the trouble to convert your fuel system you might as well use a tool like the eManage or the AEM EMS (If it ever comes out). Just make sure you have access to a local tuner who is proficient with the EMS you choose.

The stock fuel pressure is 45 psi.

For $300 you could probably get half of the kit or maybe a little less than half. Please read what is included above ^^^

Add up the prices for all of the parts separately and see that its not cheap.

Regulator - $150
Pump - $100
Hose - $150
Misc fittings - $100 (at most)

Add a small profit margin on that and the price gets upwards of $500....

Its not cheap, but it is the best way to turbo your car.
