Why did you buy that kit if you have to have soo much custom work done to it?


Also, we will be making an intake manifold for the Civic's soon. We are NOT done with it yet, so dont ask about pricing or anything like that. I will post when it is done. But when it is done, it will be bitchin'!

I hope your cars turns out great, and i hope you have an easy install. PM me when you want an intake manifold after we have developed it. Ill hook you up.
you need to hook me up also

If I had purchased the SF kit then Id be doing the same thing to the manifold. Im one of thoose people who just cant leave anything alone (probibly b/c Im an engineering student). There's really nothing wrong w/ the TD kit, I just like making my stuff different from evrybody elses thats all. BTW Im realy interested in the intake, do you have a ETA on it?

I dont know an ETA, but i will post when it is available.

The SF kit is made with the ports already matched. I guess you could smoothen out the weld a little, but thats about it.

I hear you about being different. Thats why its great being the first with all of these parts. you different, until someone buys them. lol

Iv read the instructions front to back several times, and checked over every single piece of the kit. The only thing Im going to have to buy is a T fitting for the fuel line ($1 or less) other than that the kit has everything needed to run, there are no REQUIRED mods to the kit itself. The work that Im doing is just b/c I feel that I can squeze a few more HP out.

I dont believe that the kit will be very hard to install, just time consuming. Infact the mechanical portion of th installation seems rather simple. Most of the work will be in the electrical portion. The intercooler piping seems a little tricky, but it wont be very hard once I figure out where it all go's.

Im realy not shure what the end HP results will be but Im going to estimate them at 180hp and around 192 lbl's of tourque. Once again theese are just estimates, the numbers could be a little lower but not much considering the mods to my setup, exhaust, and drive train.
