and mi gauge was in bars

LMFAO im sorry but thats just the funnyest thing that ive ever read. no offence but supriseingly this aint the first time that ive herd that excuse, it just brings up old memorys hehehe,

in my past experiances i met a guy at a cruse night, his "race" motor was trashed because he baught a boost gauge that was in bars to be in his words "JDM pimp" he told me that when he had the gague installed that he could not get his "psi" back up near where it used to be so he kept turning up his boost until he herd somethen snap on a WOT run. i thaught that i was going to piss my self, i had to bite my toungue so i dint fall down laughing at his feet right there.

I've had my RHard kit for just over a couple months now. I haven't had any serious problems. . .I haven't really boosted up to the max 7psi that the kit is supposed to push. RHard did not include the intake pipe, so I'm waiting for that to happen. I would like to see Hondata come up w/the programmable ECU for the RHard owners that way I can have some control over fuel mapping. I get a heavy fuel smell from time to time, seems to be eminating right from the manifold, but not sure. The car will sometimes drop too low in rpm's during idle (after the car is warm) and just die. Happened about 3 times. So, when the weather's better and I can actually get back to the shop that did the install. . .we'll see. For me, the worst part of having the RevHard kit, is trying to get ahold of RevHard. No serious problems yet.

remember what happined with this car and the scandal over the 12 kits that they did a fake recall on and took off with the customers kits and cash.

Negative on the problems,

I had boost creep once but my boost controller makes a lot of warning noises... I hit 11 pounds of boost! But then I just watch the boost controller and if ever the warning light goes on we just let go of the gas... Sorry to hear about the creep on yours... Get a boost controller! It's a handy gadget to control the boost and to really warn you if anything goes wrong...

PS Hey Anna how would you compare the supercharger to the Rev Hard?

boost controller.. every one said i should of gotten one but i thought if it was locked on the wastegate that it couldnt creep..... the supercharger was a lot smoother, i liked the turbo cause of how it got up but the sc gas milage was better eh.. dono if i should go turbo again or just drop the stock k20a in, every thing is up in the air.
