Those numbers aren't too great for 8lb. What's 56% going to amount to? maybe 150-160hp.
Isn't RiceBurnerEX running 8psi putting 200hp down?

Rep Power: 389 RiceburnerEX was able to make 197whp with 8lbs of boost. But I think he had a few more mods done.

If you look on the parts list for the Superior set, It does not come with an intercooler or Bov,
Intercooler itself probley worth 15-20 whp on a turbo set up. Im assuming this Superior set would be cheaper than 2600$? If you notice the superior sets are alot cheaper than the extreme.

Rep Power: 0 I was talking about the 56% increase from the Extreme kit which has the intercooler. The Superior set only says 30% increase @ 5lbs.

Rep Power: 288 Extra injectors? Isn't that the cheap, easy, and somewhat inconsistent way of doing a fuel system?
Stafford Fab. has the only real way of doing a fuel system for these cars, and it doesnt require a return line likle most people think. And it doesnt need a new fuel rail, new injectors, or anything. Works with all stock parts.
How hard is it to install your fuel kit? is it easier than 3 wires, a fuel in and fuel out?

Rep Power: 559 you'd still need to make your fuel system so its not returnless, so thats added costs.
and im sure if you get an intake manifold made thats gonna increase your gain even more. just something to think about.

Wait... 179.4 hp (around there) for an LX? And that's at the wheel? Sweeet! I'll be happy even with that much gain.

Rep Power: 0 Actually, I'm still thinking about it. A lot of people were saying "WTF are you doing?... it's not worth it!" Others were saying "Wait a year, then decide."
Unless I just wait until my car is paid off... then I can get an even better car than the IS300... my dream car......... the BMW M3! (drooling)
I duno. I guess I don't need a flashy car just yet (yeah right!!! I still want one!). But if I can make my car go just as fast as the IS300 (is that possible?), then I'll be happy. The luxury and flashy part can wait.... for now.

Since the extreme turbo says 56% increase I did that for lx
stock 115 x 56% which came out to be 64.4
Which totals 179.4
for ex, the stock is 127 i think
stock 127 x 56% comes out to be 71.2
Which totals 198.12.
In theory that's what the company is claiming.
But I'm sure it won't be good as these numbers when tests are done.

Rep Power: 288 Here is a picture to a real turbo kit.
It has an intercooler and all chromed piping, but the piping is still at the chromers, so that why its not in the pic.

Rep Power: 278 180 HP.... Would that really beat an RSX Type S, I know that could be a 2000 SI with a few bolt ons... The RSX doesn't really weigh that much more than our civics. I just don't know, it doesn't seem right, If the RSX is stock, and a pretty crappy driver at that, we would prolly be dead even with them, and they may even pull on us at that.
I dunno, some people on this site, seem to make there cars out to be alot faster than they are, because my civic is slow as hell, and all these people talk about beating these bad *** cars, or running the amazing times, and I can't come close... Sorry, just bothered me.
(Not saying bragging is bad, I hope some day my civic will rape a Type S!!!

However...I still would rather do a swap for a K20A2!
