turbo'ed
Alright, I'm trying to find some peeps on this site with turbo'ed or supercharged rides. Anybody? If so, post your setup.
Just to get familiar with everyone. Hey pictures will be good too, just in case we run into one another.

Let me know how that works out. I'd like to see that baby fly. It'll make it into the 12s easy.

Probably the AEM unless you want to go real cheap and get the Haltech E6K, like I have. You'd only be saving about $300.00 USD, though, and the AEM has more functionality and a much easier install.
I'm picking up a wideband soon, so I might start offering some tuning help, though I don't really have the time anymore for this kind of thing.

Hondata also requires a laptop to tune.
You can easily borrow a laptop for the time you are tuning.
That's a good point though. If you have an H22a1, engine harness, a Hondata 2b would be a good option if there's someone who can give you free access to a Stage 4b with chip burner. If you have an OBDII, the cost of the OBDI->OBDII conversion cable makes it not worth the cost. If you don't have access to a 4b with chip burner then your going to have to pay someone else to tune your car for you which also makes it more expensive and annoying when you have to make appointments whenever you change something on the car that requires new maps.
Judging by the amount of work you've put into the car though, I don't think you want to be limited by a Hondata.

I buddy of mine down in Miniapolis got one of those AEM engine management setups. He absolutely LOVES it. It does some logging and the interface is aparently a breeze. That's next on my shopping list.
BTW: go to the F-MAX site and there is a link in the h22 section which points to an independent review of the kit. Granted h22 is tricky to turbo properly, but if you goto w w w . s u p e r h o n d a . c o m and ask anybody with a turbo'ed lude which turbo kit you should get, 9 out of 10 will say go with the F-MAX kit, if you lack experience in the turbo department. However, KS-R knows what he's going, so you can probably do a custom himself.
Good luck man, gotta let us know so we can see your baby fly KS-R.
Too bad you guys meet on Wednesdays. I don't come to Toronto until the weekends to visit my folks. Else I'd join the club, sounds like a cool group of guys.

I really don't need anyone elses opinion on the kit. I have an F-Max H22a kit myself. Actually the only thing I have left from the kit is the IC and some of the IC piping. Pretty much everything else has been swapped out.

That won't work too well for me.. cause I'm still pre-OBD... eventhough I'll have to convert to OBD1 inorder to run the H22. It's something to think about.

Thanks for the props... I'm still learning.. hehe, but it's been a fun ride so far.

Haha.. So do I... But it's all apart at the moment. Ohwell

Maybe we can hook up when we come down to St. Thomas. How's this weekend? Thinking of coming down this weekend with a Turbo ZC to do some tuning.
