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.

Looks nice James. Keep up the good work!

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? 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?

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.
