Edelbrock needs to update their site, it says early 04. It's Sept. now. Any news. Anyone have the kit on they're ex?


What is it like, it is reliable, any knocking, pinging or any sign of detonation.

he's probably asking because it will be CARB legal. Us CA guys don't have a whole lot to choose from if we want to stay legal. It sucks.

Yeah, wrong. Mine has had zero problems.

Since he's looking for a B16 kit, by his handle, it has a new ECU system than the Honda Civic kits, and is more advanced.

Just did a head swap on a 00 dx for vtec and installed the edelbrock turbo kit, the EMS or relay boxes that they sent me might be bad but i'll give you the info you need once it's in.

I heard of a similar problem, that they are detontating motors or something like that, I hope that on the b16 kit they have worked out all the bugs, it looks like a clean kit.

The EX kit seems to run well, I know a guy in San Diego that has one on his civic, and his car is pretty fast, no knocking or pinging.

Does anyone have any inside scoop on the fuel management issue.

Yeah I forget about all those carb legal people, but if you want a car to be fast and carb legal, don't buy a honda.

Was some ECU's with bad chips, but those who called the techline at Edelbrock just exchanged out the ECU.

I suppose you could use the kit's mechanical parts and carb certif.. and use your own engine management.. you might get away with it
