looks beautiful ...brings tears to my eyes!!

 

nice kit. im thinking about buying the fmax for my accord(8.8:1 compression, it should be safe). anyways, are you auto or stick? do u recommend a turbo with an auto? i heard with an auto, u can stay in boost longer.

 

auto w/longer boost is a myth...the biggest concern for honda engines is heat and detonation...lower compression does help, but don't press your luck!

second, what kind of engine is in your accord.

Third, yes auto is okay, BUT, I would consider a better torque converter. You will have some problems the tranny trying to shift at weird times, but I don't think that can be helped unless you can somehow tap into the tranny computer...

 

Man, made me change my underwear, made me jizz in my other ones. NICE

 

came like that.....im happy though.....with the mf2, that would probably be the best cylinder to watch anyway

 

SWEET! i didn't know that it came with the EGT already ported!!!! Nice little bonus! Now to find an EGT gauge!!

 

Nice looking. How much did it cost you, if you don't mind me asking. Why did you choose the fmax kit over the others?

 

hee heee hee...group buy...$3250, a lot of time and patience, plus the many calls and e-mails to F-max and our sponsor, and not to mentiont blood, sweat and tears from the anticipation of the arrival.


to answer your second question, look at the photos again...its all you need to know!

 

Nice, bro.

What is the spec on the turbo? I know it's a T4/T3 but got any specifics?

 

depends on the car you buy it for...

 

MiraiZ, sorry, its not already ported. Because I bought my EGT gauge from Rich, he sent the bung to F-Max to tap it for me.

The turbo is the T04B S trim stage 2.....i think. with a .48A/R turbine housing.

pretty sure on this.....i'll double check.

 

how long will it be before you instal it?

 

That's why I'm asking <u>him</u> about the spec of <u>his</u> turbo.

 

Turbo goes on this weekend.

SWEEEET !!!!!!!!!!!! Was the manifold slightly ported ? Looks very nice and also noticed that the manifold was cut in between each cylinder.

 

nice kit! i wonder how much of your front bumper your gonna have to hack off to get that intercooler in there. maybe it's the pictures but it looks a good amount larger then mine. This is coming from a drag gen 3, and i had to take off a good amount from my bumper. but then again, im forgetting i have radius arms to deal with, so maybe you won't have this problem.

 

a bit disappointed but ...its alright ...doesn't look like major work...when are you going to start?

 

are you going to use the oil return setup that came w/ the kit?

 

Yeah....front what I've heard, its actually a really good setup. The people I know who use it have no leaks at all.

Oh, and Miraiz.........I start this Friday night!
