first turbo kit
WELL I HAVE HAVE A B16 IN A EF... AND THIS IS THE TURBO KIT IM THROUGH'N ON IT .. ITS DEFINATELY HMT STYLE
its a air research (i think) .48/52 t3 (i kno its small)
starion fmic and piping and a d-series manifold made by stealth mode re drilled for a b series ... im thinking of running 7 pounds on a fmu then when i get better ic piping and a bigger turbo i wanna push 10-12 ... is there anything wrong with this kit .(i got it all for free my brother was ganna put it on his sohc) .. so i kno alot of people will say turbo is too small intercooler has crappy flow rate and ---- a fmu.. but this is hmt and atleast its not n/a ..its just something to get me started

Re:first turbo kit
reliabilty and fmu should'nt be used in the same sentence.
if you run uber on this setup, it will be fine to run on your next. it will be a bitch to replace a b16 when you blow it.
review your options.
a.) get uberdata for $100 and still have a b16
b.) blow your b16 with an fmu, spend big money to replace the b16
looks like i'd go with option A. not to mention your lower gears will ber absolute ---- with a fmu

Re:first turbo kit
