Wrong. Building a reliable, built nitrous injected Honda is A LOT cheaper then building a reliable, built turbocharged Honda.

Nowhere.

Cancel your account on eBay. Never buy shit from there again.

Never, EVER run a turbocharged car with nothing but an AFC and an FMU. Your just asking for your motor to blow up. Go with a fairly large injector in case you ever want to upgrade. 310-440cc injectors are too small and will leave you with no room to upgrade.

Don't waste your money on Hondata.
.:si:.;79388 wrote:actually hondata is good...dave is really good at tuning with it from what i hear???

And ftw s100 i have never heard of anyone using that...get s200 or s300 used...
And Dave is also a lot better with Neptune.

Looks like it has almost everything.
Junk. I wouldn't buy it.
UMR Racer;79432 wrote:So say the turbo it self is not in great condition isn't that a decent price for all the other stuff. That same friend has some spar turbos I could buy from him. What about this Greddy kit

it doesn't have and intercooler but is that necessary with low pressures that I'm looking for
and i could always add the intercooler later because they make an upgrade kit.
The GReddy kit is junk too.

An intercooler is ALWAYS necessary on any turbocharged car. Do not turbocharge your car without one.

its been running like that for well over a year with no problems other than being a cold natured sob and it pulls hard to the rev limiter and doesnt skip a beat, but it still wouldnt recommend it to anyone, it should have REAL management on it by spring
