which would be best setup for a daily driven D16y7?

i am not looking to do any internal work right now future yes but want to get the kit put on and then upgrade as i go along.

now i am reading all this and that but i am looking for the most reliable and most bang for the buck.

i have looked at all of them but i am looking for your opinion because all the sites say thier kits are the best blah blah but i want to know what you guys suggest and what kind of problems you guys have had with the different kits and what you guys have had go good with the different kits.

also i like the Fmax seems the most reliable for stock head and bottom end wise. but could i still get hondata with this kit because it seems like they do alot of tuning to it already.

i am thinking maybe i just don't get all the options but i am not sure can someone explain this?

and the more info concerning D16 setups would be very appriciated

Anyone?

 

heres how they add up so far HP and boost wise.

Fmax:

boost levels; 13-15 HP numbers between 225-230 HP TQ between 207-212

DRAG:

boost levels: 5-7 HP numbers unknown. listed at 80+ over stock HP(anyone have any info on this?

REV HARD:

3 different setups boost levels anywhere from 7-9 HP numbers anywhere from 65+-125+ and TQ it says from 215-285

anyone have info on the other kits listed and any info on the APEX these are the only kits i could find info on.

and i am using all these kits because they are all around the same price and they are all suppost to be on stock internals.

 

My vote:

DRAG all the way. Awesome power, great price, and lifetime warranty on the manifolds.

 

I personally wouldn't go with the GReddy kit. But that's just me..

I would only buy the Rev Hard (2C kit) or Max Rev kit. In this price range.

My advise would be to figure out what your plans are. The Greddy kit is perfect for a decent horsepower increase for a daily driver. Not everyone wants to give up AC or have their car down for extended periods of time. So figure out whether you want a powerful daily driver or a project you have plenty of time and money to work with.

 

i like the rev hard kit so far the 2c for 3g's is a damn good price.

but how would this hold up with my stock internals? i know i would have to run low boost but would 9 PSI be ok?

and yes i plan on getting hondata.

and i am going to upgrade internals after i do the turbo kit and get my body kit and painted and wheels and coils.

then i will do the internals.

but will if hold up say a couple months i mean it is my daily driver or should i just turn the boost down to like 7
