They can upgrade to what ever turbo you want. That's no issue and ask for the corkscrew setup.. Someone would have to chime in on the fitment issues with the corkscrew setup. I know "the old one" was to build a new manifold for Blue's car but that never happened and according to them the corkscrew for the RSX would have issues with the 8thgen civic setup.

I cant even imagine a civic with the kinda power on the street. Got have some wide sticky front tires. Not to mention with in that first year of installing that kit, you may find that tires get expensive. "Duh" you say, its a rude awakening when people finally get some power to their car

im guessing your talkin about roger's civic, that thing puts down 600+whp on race gas, if he can get traction he should be even lower than 12s

here's something new from the Swift website:

Quote:
Haltech Platinum Interceptor OR AEM FIC (still under evaluation)
Controls Fuel via MAF and MAP manipulation
Controls Ignition Timing via crank sensor modification
interesting...so I guess they like the AEM better?

no they are just unsure which to use, IMHO i think they should offer both and let the buyer make the choice. Im sure someone from the shop will chime in here

I have posted the same question before, perhaps someone can answer if with the base make the car will run (and not blow it up), so I can drive it to work every day, while I get a reputable tuner to come to Central America and tune it perfect. I saw someone posted that it will be on the rich side, any comments?

We are exploring options to see which ems will work best with our setup, once decided that will be our choice and we will only support one type of ems.

All this work and just a silly piggyback that's very fickle. Shouldve just made a turbo/ downpipe upgrade for the greedy kit. On the other hand, if you guys were able to wire in a Haltech, why not wire in an AEM ems from the rsx to have full engine control? I dislike retarding timing through use of the knock sensor.

Currently there are no full standalone EMS's out there that can control the K20Z3 motor properly especially the DBW portion. Also we are not making the kit so it makes pure HP only and the DD of the kit goes down the er. We are making a kit that makes a fantastic DD, completely street legal (non CA though), No CELS, makes tons of power - enough to put the Si in the category of real fast cars (should beat stock evos and stis), passes all the OBD II emissions AND easy enough to install in your driveway or garage in one weekend (actually one day).

PS. Both the Haltech Interceptor and the AEM FIC have timing control and you are not relying on the knock sensor for timing retard.

I understand your points but timing is still not controlled the proper way. The proper way is not through manipulating the crank or knock sensors. Also, do not forget about MoTeC. MoTeC had been shown to work on several different cars. It does control DBW without a problem. DBW isn't even that big of a deal. The kpro for the tsx and new s2k doesn't even touch dbw and controls the rest of the engine including cams.

Guys.. you are thinking to hard. It's the rating of the turbo to the crank.. and it's a little underrated IMO.
