    Yes and that's a great price. The buy it now price is a good price also. I would buy it. You have to buy the mounting flange, I had to do the same with mine. I bought my Blitz for $150 shipped without the flange. Summit had my mounting flange, the price was good also.

    The EVC is silly money for what can usually be done quite well with a good relief type Manual Boost Controller, IMO.

     

    Pete I had the same opinion, until I did research on them, the electronic boost controllers is better in controlling boost creeps. Some manual boost controller are known to give boost creeps.

     

    Smackz...

     

    I don't know about now but back when the EVC came out with there fuzzy logic boost controller, I knew people who had it on there twin turbo RX7 & 300zxTT and didn't like it and switch back to the regular HKS EVC. Fuzzy logic does sound good on the instruction book icon_biggrin.gif I have a EVC IV.

    I like it loud but not 120db loud. Sodp... I agree on the price, big difference. If I had a choice I'd pic the HKS. What I do like about the Blitz over the HKS is you can put the filter to quiet it down and you can change the spring for a bigger turbo.

     

    Oh did I forget to mention I like the way V8's sound with a turbo icon_biggrin.gif

     

    Sean here's the pics without the filter.

    Not all BOV are the same... HKS SSBOV, Apexi and blitz dual drive works different. For example the HKS SSBOV has a dual chamber, one for low boost and the other for higher boost. This helps the turbo from spooling down better than the regular BOV and has better control in pressure leaks through the bov.

     

    I loved the way they sound and don't mind if it's loud. I'd rather hear the BOV going PSSSST down my neighborhood then a V8 rumbling my house and a import that sounds like tin cans. For some reason hearing a turbo and bov impresses me more then how a NA V8 sounds.

     

    BTW I have a Blitz Dual Drive and can change my springs if I go with a big turbo. I can put a filter to quite down the sound.

    Ron, I love the look. Makes me a little envious. Have fun.

     

    I'm not sure if your talking about my rims or the rims Nemeziz posted. If your talking about Nemeziz wheels then I believe those are www.fikse.com Fikse are very nice looking rims and very expensive. They are custom wheels and you don't need adapters, they make them to your specs.

    Hey Lone... The one I have is pictured below. It shouldn't be loud with normal driving becaue of the turbo. The length is 21" and the size is 4 1/2 " So what do think, to long? Scottie said it might be to long or a really tight fit.

    Need help to find correct adapter size

Do you know the distance between the holes, like 4-1/2" or close to that? That will help. AFAIK, the backspacing should be standard Honda, no biggie--I know Ross has adapters for that, but its the bolt pattern that I'm curious about--is it in fact different from the Civic, or is it the same?

     

    Davy

     

    Hey Davy... Yes it's 6.25" (6-1/4") is what I measured. I still have no idea what mm spacer I need. Yes it's for a Accord, actually prelude... still the same bolt pattern 4 X 4.50 (4 X 114.3). Btw I did tell Ross my back spacing measurements a couple of days ago.

    Damm I bought one the other day brandnew $50 shipped. I guess I have to go sell it. Anyone want to suggest a good 3" straight through muffler in the standard position?

     

    Sorry Scottie about not starting my own post on this. The positive side is everyone can see the different choices. The subject line drew me in thinking it was for the stock location. icon_biggrin.gif

    Those are some nice looking rims. The simmons most likely will have our offset meaning you may not need adapters. I was also looking at some Volk rims but a different style. My problem is those rims are expensive for me =(.

     

    Although Konig has the rims I have retailed at $368.XX a piece with no tires, I've seen them for $1600 with tires. I got mine for $925 delivered to my house.
