Would anyone else be interested in getting this turbo kit?????
Thanks

I would be interseted, but I know that Z5 engine is weak as all hell, and I do not feel like blowing it up. I am not as skeptical about Stage 1, because it does not require a FMIC, but for further stages, I doubt FMIC will fit, and the engine will take all that pressure without a failure. I am glad that there is a test bed car, I just want to see what the results are. Thanks.

However, is the header available now? And what about the cat-back exhaust? Thanks.

are they a good company? and do they have a website?

hmm.. i wonder who the customer could be....

i've heard they are a great company.... i've heard the 1.5 is actually a good engine... just doesnt put out much power... i'm sure with proper tuning that kit would work.... kdawg is usually their "customer" but in this case i would like ot know who is

Clappy/Tim is the testbed for the 1.5....im the testbed for the 1.8 products
Both turbos will be started in the next 2 weeks!

What the hell? it singed me in as my old login? ah well...."Here I am Again"

They do excellent work, I have dealt with them for years and have always been happy. Great results from their products

One said the engine is weak, another said strong, which is it?

I guess that depends on who you ask...

Look at the ES kit for the Accent, thats only a 1.6 and it puts out pretty good numbers...

do they make turbo's for 1.6L?

doesn't the miata have a 1.6? if it does i'm sure there is one for that engine

But that 1.6L is Huyndai engine, and I do not think it is even remotely close to BP 1.6L.

I don't know if the engine would crumble with FI, but I constantly beat the hell out of my engine (4K+ RPM's in 1st and 2nd each acceleration) and it hasn't even made a peep.
