Maybe it's a rounding off thing.

50mm = 1.97"
57mm = 2.25"

Maybe the metric is the ID and the Imperial is the OD? That would be some pretty thick pipe though haha..

I was actually ready to order my Kit tonight but my friend and I thought of one thing that may just have me wait for the High Boost.

My question is, If I get the base kit w/ upgraded injector package and then I decide to go with the high boost kit upgrade package, am i going to have to buy an even higher injector upgrade package or do I stay with the upgraded injector I got for the base kit? Basically will the base kit injector upgrade be the same injectors for the high boost kit?

I dont want to be spending all this money when I can just wait for the high boost kit and buy the upgraded injectors then.

Thanks in advance Chris and Oscar.

If you don't have headers installed yet, then I would get the base kit for now, then order the high boost kit after. If you get the upgraded injector package with the base kit, you will need to replace those upgraded injectors with even bigger ones for the 10# kit. The 10# kit comes with bigger injectors than the 5# with upgraded injector package.

I now have Headers, downpipe and axle back installed. All i'm missing is the midpipe because megan is on back order for about the last 2months. Guess i'll have to wait for the High boost then . I didnt want to have to get injector package twice.

They did say before summer We'll see. I think 10# and basic mods will put us over 200HP. Just my speculation... that would be sic...

seriously,i think this has been asked way too much.you all should be patient and let OJR tell you when its ready.i know all you guys are anxious but really it's kinda too much with asking everyday.it wont get here any sooner and i dont think KW will let them sit @the warehouse to collect dust instead of selling them

...Take your time, it's worth the wait...

We must make sure that these new kits has the ability to upgrade to High-Boost easily, and we are testing that process now. Once this final procedure is complete, we can release the Fit kit to the Fit community. That release will be followed instantly by Automatic, and then a High-Boost kit.
OJR,
I can't imagine all the energies and resources required to design, test, and ultimately bring a new product to market. Although I am anxious for the release of this kit, I am content to wait. BTW, take your time on the kit for the automatic. I need to sell one of my cars, and my bike before I can order one of these kits.

just to change it up in here, (because i figured we didn't need another, 'when is it being released?' re-hash), i wonder if the jacksons have any plans for the new 09 fit?

yeah i know i know, the kit for our fits is not even out yet, but its just some fun speculation in the meantime. I know that the new l15 has got that weird 'header inside the engine' type ordeal (for lack of a far better explanation) that the r18 also has in the new civic. Does this impede on aftermarket parts much?
