the thing with AVO is that they are making a kit that renders a current motor in the japan market, knowing the design and process works. doing anything other than that, might fall on it's face and not be able to compete.

just compare p&l's and AVO when it's complete.

We have looked to other companies who have already made kits for inspiration.

It's nice to see another company put something together but I still don't see how the other kits are not complete or not designed around this engine.

You make it seem like your about to do something that's never been done before

By no means am I trying to derail this thread - I just don't understand

I can't go into too much details, but we ARE doing something that has never been done. Most times a turbo kit is built around the engine with pre existing turbos. And those turbos have very different flow maps. We have spent the last 3 months studying the engine and the rpm range to develop a turbo that accommodates everything within the entire powerband.

I hate when these threads pop up, "we are developing a product but we can't tell you anything about it and what do you want from it?"

civicdrivr 09-01-2012 03:05 PM

I'd be happy with 250-260whp on low boost levels. Id like a nice linear power band too. :thumbsup:

I have to keep certain aspects a secret until we finish the testing. The proprietary issues that could arise from me telling the ins and outs of the kit before we are done would stop this campaign before we could start. I hate keeping these things from you guys too. But in the next few days I will have a link for everyone and anyone to see our plans. Also, keep in mind that we are planning on unveiling at SEMA this yet. Wouldn't want to let everyone see it before our partners could show it off at SEMA.

Who would want to go to SEMA with us? We will be holding a raffle soon.

civicdrivr 09-01-2012 03:38 PM

are you a name brand company? or working out of a garage...cause i'm not sure any of the community is going to buy from someone who doesn't exist yet.

TheChopShop 09-01-2012 04:53 PM

Everyone has to start somewhere. And we have big name companies supplying their expertise and experience to help us succeed.
We are not out of our garage, but also not a huge corporation.
