Two questions for you guys...
1/How do these 4 compare and what are their HP/TQ figures on a B16a2: FMAX, Drag 3, Rev Hard, Vortech Supercharger

2/For those who have a kit on their car, how do you run this thru insurance, do you just not report it and hope your **** doesn't get jacked, or do you report it as something else, or just straightup report it...?

 

Answer: Don't use dark blue letters on a dark gray background.

 

:werd: If all posts were like that I'd be blind now.

 

What blue? =) Nah, force of habit from other msg boards that don't have dark backgrounds.

 

1.
FMAX= Suck
Drag = Best bang for the buck
Rev Hard = Just like DRAG kit except more $$$. Unless you're getting the stage 3 which is :thumbup: .
Vortech = Parasitic turbo.

2. Tell your insurance and save your receipts. It's what I did with my swap and they said they'd cover it.

 

I always wondered about this too. Did your insurance go up much?

 

why do u dislike the fmax? from what ive read on them, they are pretty amazing kits. i mean, 250 fwhp on a daily driver civic is pretty damn good for 3500$ including everything! please elaborate for us?

also, what makes the drag better?
(not being a dick...just lookin for more info since i keep procrastinating boosting)

 

As for insurance, it didn't go up at all.

As for the turbo kits...
FMAX and DRAG are almost the same kits. Just different fuel setups. The fmax comes with a mf-2 additional fuel injector controller. That's what makes it suck. The additional injectors are before the throttle body which makes for inconsistent fuel atomization. Cyl. #1 may puddle fuel as where #4 will run lean.

The DRAG kit doesn't come with too nice of a fuel setup either, but for $2900 you can't beat it. It comes with a vortech 12:1 fp riser and fuel pump. That increases fuel through the existing injectors so you can actually tune it.
