NO IT ISN'T.

Plus our internals are actually just Lincoln Logs.

cali yaris · 08-08-2007, 10:54 PM

Bulletproof Automotive has the Blitz kit in stock...

so tempting, but there are fitment issues, plus you're on your own for management.

It is within our power to show them we have strong interest in this product:

cali yaris · 08-09-2007, 12:26 AM

The Blitz is a roots type, isn't it?

I don't know if I'd say the 1NZ-FE is new; it's been in the U.S. since 2000 in the Echo.

ya but who fixes up echos? lol

people started fixing up civics more in the early 90's so they have at least 10 years on this motor buddy.

thebarber · 08-09-2007, 07:25 AM

i guess im used to my xrs w/ 11.5:1 compression

10.5 is realatively low

boost 'er up

cdydjded · 08-09-2007, 10:04 AM

Prediction: If and when this S/C comes out & after they figure out how to convert our pulleys to 5 grooves from 3, it will cost about 3500-4500 for the system. Considering that there are 3 members out of 3000+ that have a turbo or s/c kit I say that this kit will be a sales disapointment to company making it. Sorry to be so pesimistic but sometimes the truth hurts.

mandriu · 08-09-2007, 01:28 AM

I would try it.

Thirty-Nine · 08-09-2007, 10:48 AM

I don't think it pesimistic at all -- it's reality. Most people buying a $13,000 new car don't have an additional $4,000 to dump into a supercharger.

true story

besides, i wouldnt wanna kill my powertrain warranty immediately....

lostmind · 08-09-2007, 12:28 PM

true for most people.

Personally, I'd spend $5k on it. but I'm Canadian... this car wasn't so cheap.

thebarber · 08-09-2007, 12:32 PM

ya, i feel like if i were out of warrany and already had intake, exhaust and a header, id drop 3500-4500usd on a blower....

eTiMaGo · 08-09-2007, 01:51 PM

yeah, it's the curse of the new car, there's nothing wrong with it, everything's still under warranty, most people won't wanna mess with that... MOST people...

I dont feel "curse of the new car" is the problem. The problem is cheap car cheap owners. And also most members here are not performance oriented. They cringe at the thought of spending $3000 turbo kit.
