Could you please elaborate on how HKS solved the fuel problem? Not trying to flame or be sarcastic or anything, I'm just genuinely curious.

Hello 2k1 civic enthusiasts.

Just posting to let you know R&D is still happening for the car.
R&D has believed that they had solved the fuel issue.
With the stock fuel system, knocking happens with the turbo upgrade.
So for some time now, we have been looking to increase fuel to deter the engine going lean, as well as trying to increase safe horsepower to make the kit more marketable. Also, we are exploring some ideas to increase engine management efficiency while keeping costs down.

Sorry, there is no info yet on pricing and release date.

As would I, because I am sure by the time they finally make this thing I can save up the 3 grand or so for it.

Hey,

I already have my 3gs saved up for the Turbo, did it when HKS put the prototype up with some pictures a while back. That money is savely in the bank.

Though it has increased and if everything goes well with htown's swap, I might go that route instead.

in before the lock

anyways, i wouldn't rush out to buy the first turbo kit on the market, it's not going to be near the best. if i were you, i'd take a look at how they did everything, then go get a custom job done. it'll cost probably a bit more, but it'll be set up exactly like you want it.
