I just got finish installing it on SI. You can't go wrong with this kit. It comes with everything, down to the tap you use for the oil pan.

wheres a place online i can find the f-max kit?

if you plan on going just 15 psi max, if you don't tune it very well, the injectors on the side of the intake manifold doesn't distribute the fuel evenly, it's like a dry nos kit

although im not a big fan of fmax turbo kits for civics and integra's b/c of the injectors, they are probably the best kits for preludes but as far as the reliability it depends on how hard you drive the car and 1 bar is a bit too much for daily driving unless you have had it tuned at the dyno....

fmax has a website..

good luck..

what did u have to buy that doesnt come with the kit and what kind of 1/4 times you making. and what else are your modifications.

Hey I just sent you a personal message. I can help you with that FMAX kit...

h23zero · 02-26-2002, 05:30 PM

Things extra to buy are;

power steering fluid
extra wires (I put the ERL unit in the car)
wire clips
oil and filter
teflon tape
zip ties
3 bolts (for the downpipe)
copper gasket maker

These are minor things to get. I installed a "STAR PERFORMANCE" turbo kit before on a DSM and it was a headache. Chop this mod that. The FMAX kit fitted nicely together. I'm happy with the setup, can't complain.

h23zero · 02-26-2002, 06:45 PM
