DIY -- Installing SF Turbo kit
^^^say guys do a search, there is one at the bottom of every forum.
there are a few member on here that are a boosted auto tranny. i have not heard anything gone wrong with their kit at all. the max is 7 or so, i believe that you can get more psi if you do some add on. the bulletproof thingy, i forgot what it is called.

Rep Power: 318 is there a DIY somewhere for the alcohol injection? I know nothing about hooking that up.
edit: also, do I need to drain the fuel line before disconneting it?
i'm about to install the kit so I may have several last minute questions

isnt the alcohol injection adjustable as well? so it will turn on at a certain PSI? i thought i read that somewhere....how can you adjust it?

i know that the vacuum line goes to the top part but i want to make sure KMS installed the other 2 hoses correctly... is there some better diagram for me to reference off what it should look like? can someone draw it in photoshop or in paint? please?

Rep Power: 413 This was probably "unstuck" since it was added in the DIY section, but I think here is a good place to leave it since a bunch of people are buying the used SF kits and need to install it... When I get the 7thGenTurbo FAQ (for the FI forum) up, I'll unsticky and just link it....
And lets keep this just for install Q's.......

Hey Mike, I was just wondering about modifying the LX downpipe to fit the EX exhaust. How hard would that be, or would it be better to just make a new b pipe to connect to the rest of the EX exhaust? Also, would the EX o2 sensors just plug into the bungs on the LX downpipe? Thanks.

Rep Power: 313 the alcohol injection is adjustable. You have to use a pressure regulator and a test light or a multi meter to test it though. But, the adjuster screw is in the back of the pressure sensor, its covered up by a small rubber plug. just pull the plug out and there is an allan head in there.
As for the fuel system, the fuel lines should go as follows.....
line off the bottom of the FMU = fuel in
line off the side of the FMU = fuel out

Rep Power: 313 oh yea...
you shouldnt have to change anything in the kit to make more power. before i broke my tranny, i was making over 300 to the wheels. The base turbo on the kit should be good for upwards of 300 hp and the big turbo should be good for closer to 375-400.

oh ok, because I thought you had to upgrade the axles or something. I also heard that I need to upgrade my brake system? Any info on any other parts I have to change out when I add turbo

Wow- well I havent been back since 2006...
PM me your e-mail and I will send you all my pics of my SF kit and install...
Did you happen to pick this kit up? I'm curious to see how far it has progressed. I was one of the first to have it installed in our 2002 Civics- well maybe not first- more like the first 20? Who cares.... LOL
