i have the base kit with the upgraded injector kit. I actualy took it back out for a nice drive on the highway/back roads. What i thought was the supercharger was the bypass valve. Although the supercharger is not silent imo you can still hear it a little.

The car pulls very hard. it sound amazing with my exhaust setup. evil fit on the loose. you can definately feel the difference.

The kit was finally all installed this afternoon at 12pm. Did not really have a chance to work on it all day Yesterday and Friday. Install was fairly straight foward except for all hard line bending. I'm honestly liking the kit quite a bit, since it really provides a nice response from the motor that I did not have before without making the car feel too "aftermarket". Good job with the kit Oscar.

BTW I am missing one of the hoses from the suction pipe to some other location. Wondering if anyone else had the same problem. I am covering it up with the plugs I got from oil cooler for the supercharger, while I wait for the correct hose.

that's probably the 30" hose that connects from the intake manifold and does around the back conecting to the pipe where the air filter is. I think Illusive was missing that one also. I had that one but i was missing the hose that connects from the oil resevoir and runs to the magnetic oil filter.

The plastic top manifold can be loosened and pushed back to put the injectors on. You cannot get in there without removing the plastic manifold though.

I should also say, the steel tabs on the fuel rail do cause some trouble when you do the injector upgrade. The tabs are not used once we change that harness. We will be sure to warn those that do the injector upgrade in the future.

Once again, any issues/support/install questions by kit owners should be sent directly to the support email line to be resolved. We are unable to help when it is posted to a website we are not always connected to. So far, we have not received any emails regarding missing components to Tech Support. So we do not know what to resolve.

The injector clips were missing from injector upgrade purchasers. I apologize for the trouble! All injector upgrade purchasers injector clips have been sent out and will be at your kit "ShipTo" addresses Monday.

An injector has a power and ground (two wires). You will be plugging directly to the injectors with the SuperCard.

The injector clips are for injector upgrades only. They are to allow easy plug and play between Honda injectors and RC injectors (different plug ends).

What does this mean to the rest of us?? I'm not sure what's being conveyed here. Or was this just contrasting with m/t?



Or, was the point that performance varies depending on whether the a/t is in total lock-up mode or not in lock-up mode?

Done, and it works right now!!!


Thanks Oscar, I was getting kinda rushed in the end there, and I won't try to hide it, I honestly thought those were the injectors. Please disregard my phone message I left, and thanks for the awesome product

No pics because it's dark and I did the supercard-to-injectors in a slight rain. But all done now, and I can definitely feel an improvement. Normal driving is the same, as leonine had said. Once you get to just over 3k revs (3400 = vtec?) it speeds up nicely towards the red.

Also, there is a definite change in the exhaust note, and you can hear the bypass valve ^_^ woot! Gonna re-check the header (had to put the stocker back on, but made sure to use new gaskets for the engine and cat connections) make sure I'm not leaking and also will keep an eye on all the clearances with all the lines.

sweet! so def worth the price/time? faster than your average 'top level' c class sedan hatch? (i'm thinking mazda 3 hatch with the 2.3 motor, i want to be able to run these to the ground, because being faster than that would be an ideal dd for me.)

I am extremely pleased with the kit and the initial results. As for keeping up with other cars i'll have to wait and see them on the road. I did encounter a dodge ram hemi coming to a light that had just turned green( i was in s-mode) dropped it to 1st and blew right past him.

so you guys with the regular 5# kit... what say you? does it make the car just right (ala the 3 bears or what!)

cause im not sure what kit some of you guys are rocking... the 5# or the 5# with injectors (which obviously without the cat is way faster then the regular kit)

The AT kit is using the smaller C15 SC I believe. They chose this for the AT because it creates some very nice low end numbers
