From what I have read on the ClubRSX forum, people are using either HKS, Greddy or Cybernation turbo kits. If you haven't visited this forum, you should sign up. I am doing the K20A2 swap and I get a lot of invaluable information from that forum.

Rep Power: 0 Cybernation kits are supposed to be the "best bang for the buck." They put out a good amount of power and are relatively inexpensive. However, some of their parts need to be replaced up front because they are crap. Also, if you are concerned with appearance, these kits are supposed to look pretty rough. If I decide to go F/I, I would probably use HKS, Greddy or totally custom.

Rep Power: 397 Well, what a guy in our clubs gonna do is stages. He's gonna get the Hondata#4, then as he gets more money, send it in to convert to K-Pro. Then use the Hondata #4 sesttings on K-Pro. Then when he has enough he'll get the Greddy kit. =)

Rep Power: 0 stroll on over to club rsx and 99% of them will tell you to go cybernation. the kits is really nice compared to all the problems of greddy (i think its solved now tho) and the HKS is basically paying for the name IMO. also CN has gaurdian which is so kick ***.

Rep Power: 397 Eh, there's actually ALOT of people that are becone anti CN ebcause of some issues they were having some issues, and people were saying thaqt CN was becomming shady and not helping out others. Who knows for sure though. Also, Guardian is cool and all, but can you imagine leaving it ALL up to that computer brain to figure stuff out, imagine if it hiccuped for one second lol. I'd stil rather stay on maps with the kpro than on the fly software =)

Rep Power: 0 You took the words right out of my mouth! The people who are hype'n the CN kit are those who can't afford a real turbo kit! It is like people buyin Progress suspension parts instead of Neuspeed.
Also, a lot of people say the Guardian is a piece of crap and the K-Pro is by far the way to go.

Rep Power: 397 Honestly don't go HKS yet, it's still early, and I beleive they don't even come with proper fuel managment, nor an IC

Rep Power: 397 Well, they reccomend the FCON (or mabey it comes with it), only prob is that system is really crazy, and usually your only in luck if you live in CAli for tunning, because lots of shops wont even touch it LOL.

Rep Power: 397 Heh, yes sir. I just looked and the kit dosent come with any fuel managment (injectors or anything) and dosent come with an intercooler. I think it'' be around 10 grand when your done buying parts, and they only made about 300 whp (i forgot exactly) with their intercooler, hyper exhaust, and fcon tunning.. If you ask me I woulda just walked away and gone greddy and kpro LOL. As much of a fan I am of hks, I wouldent be buying this kit, unless yor loaded, or only do shows =) Just my .02, I'll shutup cuz your all prob tired of listening to me when I don't even own a type-s
