yea, the only thing i can think of that its not including, is the fuel parts, and boost guage. BTW, how common are boost guages, doesn't every turbod car have one, or should? is it unsafe without one? thanks

Buy Tinker's cool exhaust goodies and then buy your turbo chip from me or Uber!

You'll be all hooked up by your HT boys.

Actually, Adam (CivicuDesire) contacted uber about the chips, but decided they would be too hard to sell because they are obd1 only. But ya, obd1 boys, SUPPORT us, and you will be rewarded.
ps...the kits will be ready to ship starting next week. Adam got a little premature on the ebay posting(and got screwed by one of his suppliers), but we are getting everything out...its all good...

Heres the plan on what applications we want to make available:
-All H and F series(I NEED mock engines/trans to do this running or not, just bare block/head and some accesories, like ps pump, alternator, AC, etc)
-All B and D with all applications of turbos for you DSM turbo users, etc. I can make a manifold for any kind of turbo, I just need the flange gasket for the exhaust inlet, or even a friggin tracing of the inlet hehe
So ya, this is a great deal, and Adam isn't making much money at doing this. He just wants to fund his hobby, similar to me...

Im sort of "Winging" one for GraphiteAccord. He has the understanding that it might not fit, but I will keep making the manifolds until they fit hehe
Actually...I think his is an H22, but the manifold designs, turbo placements are very similar, so if this works, then I will have F series available too

Hey Hatchblack... or anyone else

Can I just chip the computer of my 95ls (I'm making it turbo) without having to buy hondata or other system like that. How reliable is it? What are the expected gains and benefits. What changes it will make (fuel maps etc) and for last how much $$$ ???

Thanks

just invest with a hondata.... if u jsut want to chip it all the changes is much richer and that u can rev limiter is removed.... in the long run you will look for a hondata so matters well go with it ... cuase its always better safe than sorry...

I bought one of these kits from Adam (civicudesire) He's been pretty cool so far but so far I only received the Turbo and BOV, he said revhard is backed up and I have to wait for piping, manifold, wastegate, clamps, intercooler and what not. IF you guys on here are really helping him out, please help him get me my stuff.

I'm trying to be patient but I won the kit on 2/28/02, paid him a few days later, here we are at 3/21/03 and I still don't have complete kit.
