Fmax Turbo Kits.
In response to the fmax turbo kit, i think it is the best turbo kit out there. I had a 95 honda civic ex, 2 dr, coupe, manual. I bought the fmax turbo kit in 2002 and I had about 40k on the car. I decided to go with the head gasket option to lower compression because the results were about 225 horse to the wheels along with the same in torque. When installed I used ARP head studs so I would not be able to stretch the head bolts. I started off at stock boost which was 7 psi from the wastegate to my knowledge. I was a little skepticle at running 15 psi everyday on pump gas like the website said you could with the headgasket, but i decided to give it a try. The timing was retarded .2 degrees per pound of boost. So 3 degrees total. I bought a Greddy profec b boost controller on hooked it up. I had all the guages, temp, air fuel, oil pressure, etc. Let me tell you, because the kit comes with a stand alone fuel management and 2 440 lucas injectors, the kit was perfectly tuned and I even passed emitions. I ran 15 pounds of boost everyday for about 3 years and put about 50,000 miles on the turbo kit, with no problems!!! I used 20 50 oil weight due to the low compression. But it's true, honda rods are thicker then a mustang 5.0 and as long as you lower the compression your good. There were a couple times I ran 17 lbs and didn't even lean out. If you want to get more boost, buy the piston and rods. My car ran awesome becuase the injectors didn't kick on untill you were on boost. And it came with a three bar map sensor so it reeds the rpm your ar, the fuel, and boost and adjusts the lucas injectors so your car runs totally normal. I'm telling you guys, this kit is for real!!!! I would not joke, the only reason I sold the car is becuase I bought a house, and I used to be a car guru. Do exactly what they tell you and you will be fine. I beat a lot of cars out there with this kit and some of my friends still can't believe that I had no problems. That's because it's a HONDA!!
