I ran an FMAX kit about 4 years ago and was pretty happy with the results. If you are going to use Hondata you would eliminate these additional injectors and the controller as well.

If you plan on using the fuel management that they provide make sure that you use good fuel line to those additional injectors. I had problems splitting the line on my setup. But overall i think its a decent kit.

If you wanna use Hondata, then just sell the FMAX inhectors and the AIC and plug up the injector holes in the intake pipe. Then ruse your Hondata along with some larger injectors and larger fuel pump.

i had the kit before, fits pretty good, get rid of that mf2 controller, and get hondata, you can actually get the kit without the mf2 and they will deduct the price of it for you

My 92 hatch with built gsr motor on 9lbs of boost ran 13.0 @ 110 mph. THis was a long time ago on 22*8*13 mt's. However, the turbo was larger than the one they provide with the standard kit.

i wish i had terrible customer service....and i mean terrible. Never again will I ever buy fmax or turbonetics. From what i heard fmax was bought by turbonetics sort of as a subcompany, so fmax's standards do not meet up with turbonetics, but i've had it with them.
boo fmax
