or if he keeps the price low (2700 -2900) it could stimulate demand.

thats the paradox of business. You need demand to generate low prices, yet you need low prices to generate demand.

I guess the all rich people on the site will need to purchase the turbo kits to generate the demand so the rest of the people can afford it.

So did anybody donate the EX to their shop ?
If not, I'm all the way here in Chicago, but I'll take few days off and go to Lancester. I just wanna get this thing rolling for the EX's. I wanna buy one of their kits but, as I was reading the posts, looks like they are still working on downpipe etc for the EX. Lemme know Catalyst.

thats a waste of SFs labor and time and parts. They want you to actually purchase the kit

I was thinking the same thing. It does not mention anything about LX/DX (non-vtec).

i'm not sure its acually been put on a d17 since its offered w/ a fmu and 2001 & up don't have return lines not to mention that turbo is a bit masive for a d17.i use that same turbo in a sr20 silvia swap in a 240sx and it good power but would lag after every shift and we where running 15 lb.

How about during daily driving??
Are you a conservative driver, I have a lead foot and I'm wondering if a brake upgrade will be needed once my kit is intalled.

What do you think?

a t3/t04 on a sr20? of course you had lag!

shoulda used a GT3037s... they've been behind the most powerful street driven sr20's, VERY little lag and huge power...

another thing regarding turbos

when the 7gen ex was released, does anyone remember why nobody got to work on a turbo kit?

It is impossible to produce a turbo kit for a ULEV if you care about driving legally, or at least a cost-efficient kit.

Also every company except for Greddy's kits are not C.A.R.B approved. So pretty much for every car it is very hard to develop a kit within state laws.

You boys that live in states that have laws like California gotta remember. There's a whole bunch of us car owners that still live in a free country. We don't much give a **** whether our cars meet those other states standards or not.

It was $2700 + free shipping. But now it's $2900 + shipping, if I'm not mistaken...

But I believe you won't be able to order for the next two weeks because the turbo's are back ordered. Someone correct me if I'm wrong please.
