you need a return line to the oil pan as part of the turbo. our oil pans do not conveniently have an accessory flange, so one must be welded on. its not a biggie for a pro welder.

You keep saying us. Did you actually do any work on the turbo kit or were you just there when the work was happening? Because when you say us you're representing that you too are the creator of this product, and if you're not you shouldn't be conveying that image.

This is Catalyst again...
SFpower says he will make an announcement after the inland/909 meet on may 10th

If anyone wants to donate their EX for fitment of the downpipe, he will give them the same price as the group buy, but before the GB is released.

And to answer the question about how my car is running, on the way over to the shop today, i ran into an S2000 with an aftermerket exhaust. We ran side by side from a light until 3rd, when i pulled ahead. By 95 mph i was about 1/2 car length ahead when we decided to slow down.

Chalk up a win for the civic Lx-T!

I still have the stock clutch. I just installed my 2 1/2" exhaust the day before yesterday, and it made a HUGE difference. My clutch is still holding up really well.

lol. Their "Extreme Kit" is $200 more than my kit, and i bet you it will make less power. it uses a small *** T25. i bet you wont be able to upgrade much without buying a bigger turbo. I want to see some real dyno numbers with that kit. And i mean at the wheels, not some estimated crank horsepower BS.

he needs more than measurements. He has to take it apart and build it on the actual car. It will take probably a day, or close to it.

SFpower, I PM'd Catalyst a question. I asked if this kit would work on an automatic LX. He said the the piping might be different, but he'll get back to me about that. Hopefully you guys find someone at the meet with an auto LX so we'll know if the piping needs to be modified.

I'm also wondering if the auto trans can handle the increased power.

i've heard the auto tranny should handle it fine if you get a tranny cooler.
