That's a good point. Maybe he's on the edge with his A/F ratio and Kraftwerks is saying injectors are necessary with the additional mods so there's some margin of safety.

From early in the thread, he said he's been running the supercharger for over 10,000 miles with no issues.

Hi, I am curious as well as to how much shipping costs will be like to Canada. Also would be interested to know what the approximate price of the injector upgrades will be and if it will be available simultaneously when the kit is released; seeing as it would be needed for someone that is running a I/H/E setup. Thanks~

Awesome! Good luck with the kit. I wish I could order it now. I'm still saving for the wedding. I can only get away with small mods until the wedding.

Since I don't live in California, CARB legal is meaningless to me.

Would a non-CARB legal 5psi kit that uses the Supercard and upgraded injectors a possible and worthwhile exercise?

I'm looking for substantial performance boost that is less expensive, less high wear, and easier to install than the full blown 10psi. It would be nice to avoid a Hondata ECU reflash. This would make it much easier to take the car back to stock.

Based on this forum I had my expectations set around 150WHP and the 121WHP Dyno'd due to CARB legality is disappointing.

Check page one of this thread, wherein it's said that's exactly what JDMchris has. I assume it'd be a relatively easy adjustment to the parameters for the SuperCard.

Just want to add my thanks to Oscar Jr for doing such a good job answering all the questions so far. I used to be scared of forced induction, but it's starting to sound like a good idea.

Voltage stabilizer and ignition booster? Why? Just because someone makes it? It's not like the fit is a 89 Civic... save your money!!

Well, those are the most inexpensive of the group, its not a whole lotta money. besides, i've talked to a few ppl who said the combination of the two does produce a smoother ride... all i know is i want my SC lol...
