I have this kit. It actually has minimal lag with the t3 t4. I am a professional fabricator and i will say the quality is descent. Not perfect but its solid. i upgraded to a mbc and a greddy type r bov. I have a full fuel system and intake manifold. The reason they use alcohol is because injector upgrades past 375ish cc trip the CEL if you are trying to correct it for when you are off boost. I am in the process of sleeving the block and getting a motec. my head was done before i ripped the car apart again. I was running 310's on aout 7-8 pounds without the alchy. Let me tell you these cars REALLY respond to boost well. This kit rips harder than alot of other D17 kits. If you are good at friggin with stuff and are patient, the long tube header is worth the agrivation. I also used grade 8 bolts on the header flange. Oh btw the kit was like 3500 with a brand new garrett turbo. The jet hot is worth about $500 alone. I had a handfull extra parts when I was done. It is a true FULL kit.

Rep Power: 297 Some pictures for you guys. This was right after I got it back together for the Nth time. The intake manifold in the pic may be for sale in a few months. It was designed to work with the stock cam/rpm range. I am upgrading my cam and should be reving to about 8k+ so the longer runners are gunna be useless to me. I dont remember the numbers but I posted the improvements N/A somewhere on here along with some other pics. Makes awsome torque and midrangewithout taking anything off the top-end, really shines with a boosted motor though. I will be taking no less than $700 +shipping for it though, otherwise it will make a nice display. If I am offered more I may consider taking it off the car Immediately. This manifold costed me over $3k to prototype. If you are interested you can get ahold of me through www.JDMFabtech.com. I do Except paypal.

Rep Power: 0 02fpcivic - THanks for verifying this is a nice kit. As stated before I Have dealt with tons of kits, and this one is very nice.
THanks for the pics guys.
PunkingCivic - Can I use that picture of the setup in our auction? Let me know
THanks
TeamPointless - I knew the kit was nice, I was asking SPECIFICALLY what company made it, as referenced in my previous posts. I listed it on ebay to reach a larger market, thats just simple marketing there.

I installed a kit for ImportRacer2021 on here, and he had that POS SF kit.
AS far as the turbo being too far from teh motor, on my drag car, the turbo was just as far away, and we designed it like that. the Jethot coating is going to keep the heat from sinking into the manifold, which means it will continue to move at a fast pace, rather than slowing as it cools.
relocating the batter isnt a bit deal. It adds an extra hour or so to install, and look at the benefit of having it?
Why would the kit rely totally on ALC injection? The guy posted HP numbers and said those numbers were after using ALC. If you ran a sufficient fuel setup, you wouldnt need any sort of ALC injection.

hahahahahaha........you are trying to flame me .........congratulations
If you know so much, then obvisouly have researched and know about thermal dynamics. I am sure that you know that heat = energy and that is what spins the turbine. Mounting the turbo farther from the block allows the exhaust to cool and not create as much power as if it was mounted closer to the exhaust ports.
Relocating the battery is not a big deal.......but some ppl have stereos that take up the whole trunk that do not have room for a battery.
Yes, the kit does rely totally on alcohol injection. There is no supplemental fuel system. The reason the car made that much hp at 5psi is b/c.......as you know, alcohol makes alot of power. But along with it......comes higher combustion temperatures. But then again......i am sure that you know that.
As far as me being a smart ***......i can be.......but i do help alot of ppl on this site with their questions. I will be the first to admit that i do not know everything and i am by far, not the most knowledgeable member on this site.......but i do know some things........f/i isn't really that complicated.......pretty simple if you ask me
