What are your thoughts on selling the kit without management? I have an excellent Emanage tuner local and I have an emanage ultimate I just picked up

Would that be an option?

I am so excited to see this. Gunna make me spend all my money and take a nice little drive :P

Mo: Great news on the 4/6 intro deal announcement date. Question: Does that mean you guys will have decided which tuning solution to use by then?

The biggest issue with the emanage will be injector size. The kit will include the 680cc injectors.. so buy the time you purchase smaller injectors and clips, you've spent another 200 or so.. and max the 440cc injectors around the 300whp range.. Sell your emanage and get the tuning that comes with the kit. If you want more power.. headgasket to lower the compression and turn up the boost since the kit comes with 680cc injectors = no problem..

Why is this? Does the emanage not handle larger injectors somehow? I'm just not sure why emanage would work for a Greddy kit but not this. JW.

The F/IC intercepts the signal to the stock injectors, allowing the user to modify pulse-width by +/-100%. The F/IC is the only piggy-back system that can decrease injector pulse-width, allowing the user to drive larger aftermarket injectors* while still maintaining proper air / fuel ratios. This powerful system can also tap into the factory injector signal and work independently to drive up to six (6) additional injectors.

Whereas most other piggybacks just fool the stock ECU.. to allow more fuel to be dumped. It get more technical but won't bore you too much.. long and short term fuel trim.. etc..

Basically.. the AEM has the ability mentioned above..

The biggest upside to this kit.. no codes.. and works with stock components.. so that means it will pass inspections.. the only thing you will lose is your factory warrenty.

Nay-sayers can argue if they wish. I think Swift has become the first company to provide a turbo kit that is worthy enough to compete with the supercharger applications for our cars.

I understand that many have greddy kits and even a select few have the TSI kits that (after tweaking) are working great. However, out of the box performance... if all the hype is true, goes to Swift.

I commend them on a job well done.

This seems to be a very good option for a lot of people that want to put down good reliable power. I am very eager to see what these kits will produce once these kits get into the experienced hands of some of the people on this site.

I have been thinking about F/I as a future mod and have for the most part been leaning towards a supercharger. I might be second guessing myself after I hear some of the fellow 8th'geners reviews and raves about this seemingly incredible package that Swift is putting together.

maybe if your engine blows up, your ENGINE warranty will be void, but every other part on the car will still be warrantied.

Hey mo, even if you didnt offer a intro price I believe and know the kit is worth every penny, and I would pay full price for it...

You really think so.. first you have a piggyback system that is designed to fool your stock ECU.. void warrenty.. then your drivetrain is beyond stock specs.. void warrenty.. blow your motor.. due to turbo.. void warrenty.. your window stop working or a seat breaks.. warrenty.. once you modify anything beyond stock specs.. honda does not have to warrenty anything on your car.. it's usually dependent on dealership..
