You should. Stop trying to jump onto the newest thing, and stick with the sick ass ride youve got now! if you get bored of it, and/or have money burning your pockets, do some radical **** to it!

Well, for those who need more info, Mase is finishing up school soon and has been inundated with finals/projects or what have you. I'm not really sure what Jim is up to, but I know that this is neither guys current day job. It's more of a second job for them both. The new test car just got a new engine installed in it since the previous one was blown, and is almost ready to be fired up. Then the twinscrew will make it way onto that car for testing of the new snout seal/design. Both are extremely busy and pressed for free time to do the final testing, so everybody please be patient. I myself have waited an enitre year now, have driven with this kit, and am now patienly awaiting it as well.

SC dude... SC... leave turbo alone even if you can gain more.. but a SC.. still is Rare on 4 bangers... that why i totally adore the SS SC... they are unique.. compared to all other force induction 4 cylinders..

i stopped saving and went with the stage 2. if this was a honda we'd have 16 tested, functional, and safe turbo kits right now. another case of aftermarket disinterest in the 'balt.

Thats true in a way,but when honda comes out with a new model,they have turbo kits for sale even before the car comes out,lol.And if there is no kit available,it will be within a few months.I agree though,there is no aftermarket for these cars.

it makes no sense though.. why wouldnt one of the big manufacturers step up and make one? look at how many people have an ss s/c, i see them WAY more than the si's.. what gives?
i hope the LNF has more support.. it should be easier, being as its already got a turbo setup.. just change flanges on the manifold(or get a better one) and slap a big turbo on there, right?

yea, untill you max out the injectors are are gonna be paying major bucks to get a secondary fuel rail and stand a lone computer put into it. direct injection is a great idea till you want to modd it. also by putting a bigger turbo on you will lose all your torque, as thats how the lnf makes that 260lb/ft, it brings the boostis crazy fast with a small turbo.

well, the LNF is going ot be like any car, it's going to have its own unique tuning challenge, but I think as far as the LSJ goes, we could probably credit the lack of aftemarket support to its short production run. Like someone else said, Honda's have been the same basic setup for years.

it just wasnt a popular platform and i think people just need to realize that
