Whats the best Turbo on the Market. Is the H.K.S. intercooler pipes very thin, like the Greddy one? Which intercooler is bigger? Whats the max Boost on stock vs rebuilt bottom block? Whats the best emanagement, and WHY? Need some info and ideas.

Oh, I have plenty of ideas.

Here comes the lecture. What are your goals as well as price range?

-Hondata K-Pro exceeds every engine management out there, by far.

- Stock bottom ends have been pushed to over 500 hp. As far as reliability, I would keep it under 350.

- Best turbo kit on the market is Full Race. For the price SCI would be second.
Full Race has an equal lenth manifold and unbelievable quality.

Answer my first questiona and I will keep going.

Well if your interested in 20+ psi your going to need a lot to say the least. Here goes:

- Full Race or SCI as recommended before
- GE or Darton sleeves
- Cunningham, Pauter, Carillo, or Manley rods
- Wiseco 9:1 pistons or Custom JE pistons
- Stock headgasket, main bearings, thrust washers, and rod bearings
- 6 Puck or Dual Disc Clutch such as ACT or Clutchmasters
- ARP headstuds
- Fuel Return Line
- Walbro Fuel Pump and Aeromotive Rising Rate Fuel Pressure Regulator

Now you are setup for 500+ hp

Yup kpro definately owns all.

Also take a look at the vendors and get your parts from NoLimitMotorsports. I just picked up my Eagle/Wiseco combo for 750 shipped. They are here on the boards and they are definately the cheapest around.

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by i shiton u &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">k pro &gt; all</TD></TR></TABLE>I was wondering about that......Is K-pro really the best for turbo tuning? i was thinking of going with HKS F-con V-pro or when it comes out Apexi Power FC. I'm going to be run the Full Race Stage 1GT with upgrade to a GT2871R on my RSX-S, with just the stock block for now. What do you think my WHP?

Got a link for HKS F-Con so we can compare.

Also, If I remember correctly only HKS dealers can program or tune their ECU's. Which is one of the main reasons K-Pro dominates

Its hard to judge psi....if you have a tiny lil turbo, you could get a higher boost, if you have a big mamma jamma turbo, the lbs could be lower
