Hey Ben when you said that the pricing plans to be around $2k, that really perked up a lot of ears, so to speak. It now seems that quite a few people are on the fence about the T1-R turbo v. JRSC. How would you address these potential clients to go with your kit instead of the JRSC kit?
what about oil pressure and temp. do you guyz offer an upgraded oil pump/cooler or is it not needed.
upgraded oil pump should not be needed. a cooler would be ideal in this setup b/c the turbo is oil-cooled. therefore, oil will run a lot hotter than normal when boosting. but with regular driving, should not be much higher. oil cooler would just speed up the cooling process and should give a bit longer life to the oil.
T1R, i'm curious to if u're planning on using Emanage blue or ultimate? Although Blue is a cheaper option, i dont believe that it will fair best in terms of reliability, protection, and HP potential vs. Ultimate. I'm sure you know the differences between the 2. Since newer car ecus nowadays seem to not take the Blue emanage's signal manipulations so readily as the ol' school cars.

From the looks of the pics on AJR's website i believe they are using blue.
Ben, can you offer an e-manage ultimate upgrade? Do you sell an oil cooler that will work with the Fit?
its a oil filter relocation kit + oil cooler setup.
comes with everything you need, but i recommend swapping the lines to SS braided lines/fittings. which in the end, will cost a pretty penny. i ended up selling my oil cooler setup since i didnt feel a need for it any more, even though my RSX is boosted and daily driver at times. Its not dire to get a cooler for it if you change your oil on a more frequent basis. (5k miles with synthetic)
there are other kits on ebay as well.

i just notice that you guys have the IAT sensor on a charge pipe! thats asking for boost leaks right there, i recomend making a extention harness so it can be on the intake were it should be.

accurate IATs is essential to turbo'd applications as it helps the ecu decide how much fuel to dump. you want the same temp reading as the air going into the engine. if you put it at the intake, it will read the wrong temp. air goes in, gets heated dramatically by the turbo, then cooled to XX temp, then into TB. Who knows what the temp is by that time.
boost leak is the least of your concerns when you do something this big. But surely, the grommet holds it tight enough, otherwise, it'll just pop off everytime in boost.

while this is true you can get around this issue with a good tune, i still think that the sensor will evently pop out as soon as some common oil resudue ends up in the charge pipes even though its only 6 PSI, you can maybe develop some kind of locking brace to hold that sensor in place.

if the grommet is good, then it shouldnt pop out. i used the IAT grommet that Injen uses on their intakes. RSX sees up to 17psi and IAT doesnt pop out . For extra insurance, one can ghetto-rig it to use zip ties to keep it secure.

it'll work if engine management is available for the auto ecu.
the only problem is that the trans may slip under boost while its shifting, causing uncomfortable jerks and excess stress on the trans. You can minimize this stress by staying in Paddleshifting mode and shift in vacuum.
Its hard to explain, but you'll know what i'm talking about when you're boosted.
