my earlier comment wasn't critizing the work... hell if i had the money and was put in the position to buy it would be a pleasure to buy from the bmc guys. Good stuff... nice to see hmt people growing up and elevating their skill. I still give more props to people who somehow get ---- turboed with no skill and ---- for materials. ;)

Yeah, $5300 isn't really that bad. Especially when you consider what a lot of kits cost for civics using cast manifolds, non-bb turbos and supply an fmu and a missing link like those are somehow supposed to constitute as engine management. :1

But shop around for S2k kits and you'll find they all sell for similar prices and they don't seem to have any trouble selling. :8

Looks nice James. Keep up the good work! :6

I don't remember James being HMT, I remember 579 posts of him and his dad trying to sell stuff. The work is nice, but when's the last time you made a post outside of the fab forum pumping your latest work, HMT "brotha". :-\

So this kit will run over $7,000 with fuel management? :X I'd have to slap the slightly homosexual S2000 driver that spends ~$25k on an S2000, then another $7000+ for a turbo kit. That puts him at ~$32,000 with no other mods and he's still running low 13's with a very good chance of blowing a very expensive motor. :1

Nope. I don't pay much attention. Do they still run low-mid 14's? :l

I dunno; I was cleaning my room and found an old Super Street that had one on the cover.

The motors are 1500$ on ebay
for that cost for the fuel management kit is very cheap (aem ems is usually 1600 the injectors are $350, and pump is $150)
they are saving 100$ and will be given a fancy instruction sheet and all for it hell I even have to make up special fuel rail spacers so the injectors will work

Ohh yah 7k is still cheap look at the lovefab setups for $10000 nearly

I think with this kit and the AEM managment the stock motor is capable of some pretty big numbers.
