    decent little kit. it will work.

    it didnt look like it came with fuel shit so youll need a walbro 255lph fuel pump, some 450-550 cc injectors and a chipped ecu to have it tuned with. thats about 500$ worth of goodies there maybe a little less.

    ok cool at the moment i have an aem fuel rail and fuel pressure regulator and a kenji ecu (swapped intake manifold so chipped for single stage mani) would rc 310 injectors work??

    those 310s should be good for a little bump in power, im thinking low possibly mid 200's, ive never dealt with small injectors. Is that kenji ECU CHIPPED and SOCKETED or just reprogrammed. It has to be socketed with a removable chip.

    yeah i think it sounds like it was reflashed. You can contact SCTTYDB411 on here and he can socket your ecu so it can be tuned when you turbo the car, you will lose your "kenji" map but the ecus capabilities will be extended far greater than what it is now.

    That has to be one of the better kits that I have seen as far as price and parts are concerned. However they do not tell you what kind of turbo your getting, it just says t3/t4. You might want to contact them to see what kind they are offering.

    i can take a look at the ecu for you to see if the chip can be removed w/o destroying it and make a new map for turbo and larger inj to tune.

    I'm working with Treadstone right now designing the kit for the Nissan Spec v, so I can get probably get you a better deal than what's on the site. Let me know, I'll call Jason at Treadstone and see what pricing I can you get on the kit. Their stuff is really good quality, you can't go wrong, all the major components are turbonetics, and treadstones parts are top notch too.

    You'll need a civic kit for a B series motor, if you get an acura integra kit I don't think the IC piping will fit. For a daily driver I'd get a T3 turbo, it'll make enough power and have no lag compared to a T3/T4. As for tuning, I don't know, I'm a nissan guy.

    that is the same kit i have, the bov sucks so plan on getting another one, the down pipe does not look like that when you get it but everything else is great. i would recommend this kit, good quality shit.
