hey guys...well once again I am looking into doing forced induction (booted the idea of the ls/vtec. I was wondering if anyone has heard of the F-max system? I would be installing this system into a 98 Integra LS. if you have a second please look over this kit. http://www.f-max.com/hondacuraturbosystems.htm

I think the system looks pretty good and very complete. comes with 2 Lucas 440 fuel injectors deltagate external wastgate t3/t4 turbo and a FMIC. I just wanted to see if anyone has heard any pros/cons with this system? Also is there any mods that I should consider getting before I go with a turbo kit? As of right now I have a CAI Apexi N1 Catback exhaust and a Venom 400 module (not yet installed). anyones response will be greatly appreciated! thank you in advance!

Patrick

P.S. Mr Self Destruct can you please PM with a # I can reach you at so that I can discuss with you a price on an install of this kit along with a pre dyno and a finished dyno. thanks alot!

those two injectors are supposed to be plumbed into the intake piping right before the throttle body. The mf2 controlls those seperate from your primary injectors which are still controlled by the ecu. My friend ran a setup like this and I think it is a little too rigged for me fuel distribution is uneven.

Back in the day there was a white LS (Ryan) Mr. Self Dest and some old school guys would remeber. He had the kit ran 13s on stock internals for a few months then had problems. All downhill from there. Not sure if that helps but I am sure Mr. Self Dest. can give more details on his setup he had it at his shop a few times.

Heres another helpful tip:

Dont even bother opening that Venom 400 Its crap.
Try and return it if you can if not sell it on E-bay.

It does nothing that pushing the gas pedal down more wont do.
It does absolutely nothing at WOT they even tell you that in their material.
