If you are getting a hondata 2b, then you won't need any of the extra fuel system provided by fmax. I would upgrade your injectors to 440's and get a new fuel pressure regulator. Might also want to look into a new intank fuel pump. Other than that you are good to go with just the fmax kit, until you are ready to build up the motor.

here it goes i gotta ask the stupid question i cant resist, what 1/4 mile times whould i get sorry to ask , i had to

01-0720

should i get the tial wastegate instead of the delta gate one that comes it , and what a good turbo timer, and what gauges should i get and what kind of cheap boost controller ccan i use untill i go hondata,

thansk

TypeRdude

All FMAX kits now come with the TIAL wastegate. They come with 9psi spring. Turbo Timer either blitz or greddy for under $100, Boost controller the Blitz or the Apexi are nice. Gauges, boost and either air/fuel or EGT. Email me for prices on the FMAX and all the parts to go with it. We are also FMAX dealers. Mike@diabloautosports.com

Get a .63 A/R...You'll be the second F-MAX powered ITR on the planet...if you get one

i'm finally happy with my Fmax kit.
I would definitely go for the Hondata. Its a much cleaner solution.
You will want more boost!
I wish I could afford to build the motor and REALLY boost.

the fmax kit isnt goin on my R its goin on my brothers gsr,

thanks for all the info
and if anybody knows the answer to my stupid question about how fast it might be , that be great

thanks

Brian_92GSR

I only had the turbo on for two weeks before I decided to rebuild the motor. I didn't get a chance to dyno it or do any real performance tests, although I real wish that I had. It's be another 2-3 weeks before I'm running again, at which time it will be tuned and dynoed. I'll post numbers at that time.

Does anyone know what the efficency range of the standard f-max turbo (the t3/t4, not sure of the exact numbers) is? And Torin, you said the standard spring was 9 psi, do you know what color that is? Mine spring is green, but I haven't established for sure what psi that corresponds to.

thanks

Hey MiraiZ, ya forgot to put the radiator cap back on in that pic!

TurboSedan

Oh, and I have nothing but good things to sat about TypeRDude (Mike) at Diabloautosports. I have bought my Koni Yellows, Comptech Fuel Pump, and AEM FPR from him. The service is very fast and very good.

MiraiZ

yeah...its on now though

I'll have new pics up, as soon as I Simple Green my engine bay.

TurboSedan

Simple green, is that not the best stuff?

how is the fitment of the Fmax kits? i know ive heard that the drag and greddy kits fit great.. but do the Rev hard and Fmax kits work out just as well? i remember reading something about intercooler piping problems.. dean

MiraiZ

under normal circumstances, FMAX is suppose to have the best fitment...BUT, recently FMAX has not been living up to their reputation....a lot people had problems with IC pipes lining up....I had problems with down pipe...size was way off...and I think EVERYONE had problem with the manifold bollts...but overall the kit is TOP NOTCH..good quality all around...

threatcon13

drag fit great???i dont remember mine fitting perfectly at all. nothing crazy..but i wouldnt consider it a straight bolt on.

01-0720

so the fmax kit doesnt require any cuttin of anything for install

MiraiZ

Not completely true...you will need to cut about an inch off the fan shroud....No cutting of the frame work or the engine block though...fitment is pretty good and good quality...but make sure you make your order VERY CLEAR down to the size of your down pipe and location(s) of your O2 sensor(s)....if you have ANY non stock parts like the intake manifold or front end...MAKE SURE YOU MAKE IT VERY CLEAR TO THEM or you will wind up with parts that don't fit right (i.e. the IC pipes...If one doesn't fit right, they'll all be off)

Hey Z I still wake up in a cold sweat from nighmares of doing that FMAX install on your R j/k....well maybe just a little..
