So here is what I got…good starter kit …going on a 98 accord F23 Vtec All charge piping dowpipe to cat maifold garett T3 w/ internal wastegate BOV 4 x 440cc RC injectors SAFC 2 Boost gauge Air fuel gauge MSD 6AL ignition system walbro fuel pump Accell wires colder plugs all coolant lines all oil lines Bleed valve for MAF adapter sensor if used w/o SAFC(whatever that is) Side mount intercooler All for $945 :ugh2: Now my options are as follows: 1.)Run this kit on stock motor and use my nitrous just to spray in the intercooler…maybe 7 psi or so(will build a second motor in the mean time) 2.)wait and mildly build a F23(forged pistons and rods) then use the nitrous in the motor w/ the turbo kit 3.)wait and mildly build a F23(forged pistons and rods) run higher boost, and spray the nitrous in the intercooler No matter what option I take as soon as the kit is installed, I will take the car to Hybridynamics and let them tune…no tune, no turbo So far I have Exedy stage 2 clutch, 8.5lb flywheel, nitto 450’s, and a ZEX kit anyone have any suggestions…that are useful? ---

LOL I know what the SAFC is…not sure about the bleed valve. The reason I bought the kit so quickly is F23 turbo kits are somewhat hard to come by…especially at this price. ---

Sounds like a missing link for your map. Honestly you should make your own. Tuning a turbo car with an safc and tricking the map to read stock air values is a waste of time. What size sidemount and what size t3? ---

IMO spend more to make sure it is right instead of spend a little and have to spend 3 times as much to fix all the mistakes. also without a FMU you are goin boom if you don’t know what a SAFC is ---

FOR THE SECOND TIME…I know what the SAFC does…What I DO NOT know, is what the bleeder valve for the MAF is for. I have 75 VERY detailed pics of the kit on the same car. I have talked to this guy for over a year now and he was very succesful with kit. I chatted with him even before he was intending to sell it. He did have problems with the FMU and that is why he switched to the SAFC w/ 440 cc injectors. All in all, either way, the kit was well worth the money that I paid. As far as the T3, this will be a daily driver and I am not looking to run more than 10 PSI boost…which is nearly impossible using the SAFC anyways. . ---

> [@Steel City Supra](#): > > Nitrous on the Intercooler does next to nothing, dont waste your time. oh really? I thought I seen some dyno charts of a few people gaining almost 20 HP from it. Probably would just fill the bottle with C02. But I haven’t really looked into it much. ---
