Anyone who has this brand installed on a 4th gen...your opinions on this upgrade would be greatly appreciated.

Also, I see it for around $2,600. Please post link if you know of better price.
-Thanks for you help

Not really sure what your questions are Lostcb7, as they are all one word sentences.

Here's the product I am refering to:

if you are gonna do it, do it right, and good known quality parts...i hear people complain all the time because they buy shitty parts, and when they fail (especially under boost) things can get bad fast...i've heard of at least 3 occasions over the summer of wastegates getting stuck closed and motors getting toasted b/c of it...buy quality parts to help reduce this risk...

Actually, TSI makes some quality parts, I know people who were quite successful in reaching their goals with this company.

They know their turbos, it's time for people to get off the DRAG/FMAX bandwagon.

That site mentions nothing about the f22a1. It only lists kits for the f20b and the f22b. Am I missing something?

Their price beats tasauto.com, not sure about shipping/handling, assuming same kit.

i have the TSI extreme kit. i actually got it for 1500 because they accidentally sold me the "extreme" kit at the "superior" price. as far as performance goes, i can't complain. i havent dynoed yet but i'm pretty happy with my heavy *** accord boosting 6-7 lbs.

I'm considering the same kit. How's the reliability? Did you install it or have a shop to the install?

He's asking for opinions from people who have used/know of this product. If you don't know of this brand why are you posting? If you do know of this product, why would you need specs? And what the hell do pics have to do with it? Read the post before cluttering up the thread with useless questions

Anyway....I have a friend who has this kit and I haven't been real impressed with it. Its not ebay quality but then again I've seen better. He says he wishes he had pieced together his own kit because now he is replacing all the shitty parts that came with the kit. I'd piece your own

That's a T25 ! Dude, what's the point! I could understand maybe putting a T25 on a Hyundai Accent, with it's anaemic 1.5L SOHC engine, but what a waste to put that on a F22. Go with a full build man and make some power. Turbonetics T3/T4 TO4E

Your opinion is respected but to each his own. I like the t25 for its quick spool in city driving. i didnt get it to run the 1/4 mile in a HEAVY FWD accord... it IS a family car yanno. the redline on the f22b1 is only 6.3K so i need boost as early as i can. In all honesty i'm not disappointed at all. the fuel computer/+2 injectors isnt the best fuel management in the world but i've been pushing 7 psi for over a year and the car still feels strong. I bought this kit knowing that there are bigger and better options but they werent what i needed.

I still have the crx to play around with anyway.

With that outlook on the car, why even do any performance mods to it at all?? :\

I don't know about you, but a 2700lb 4dr. car is fairly light when you look at it.

i think my 95 ex sedan is more than 2700. and BTW, why are we into this hobby?.. because we like messin around with our cars right. so why would you even ask me why i hooked up my car. dude, alot of people have lost the whole perspective when it comes to the automotive hobby. I did it for fun. i did it to go a little faster. It's fun spanking unsuspecting ricers. so don't ask me why i even did it. you should ask yourself - why havent you done it yet!?

I think the 95 Accord EX sedan's are more like 3,100lbs, give/take a few. And yes, we do it because we either want to, we can, we're bored with the car, or to irritate a spouse <TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by boonacka &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">

I was thining of putting this kit on my CRX with a LS Motor. Would this make my car run good for street use? Does anyone know of a place that can sell it for less than 2700? Thats as cheap as I found it for.

Try the CRX or Integra forum for this question.

Is the '95 accord EX really 3100 lbs.? I used to own one, and that thing DID seem heavy. going to a CB7 after my 5th and 6th gens, I was like "Oh yeah! agile, low to the ground, THIS is a honda, baby."
