AEM FPR works great but alot of people dont realize it cant handle over 70psi of fuel pressure. soooo heres mine; AEM FPR above 70psi will blow the diaphram.

Arturbo · 09-10-2002, 07:50 AM

anything made by prodrive. High price tag, not worth a penny.

stizzit · 09-10-2002, 08:42 AM

Bwahahahahaha thats hysterical!

My list (oooh boy):
J&S Ultra, Classic, Super Duper. Band aids for poor tuning.
Water injection. Band aid for poor tuning
Magnecor, MSD, Neuspeed, Ractive, Nology spark plug wires and plus a ton more.
block guards, pick your brand
denso, any of their plugs
Unorthodox crank pullies
STR Products
especially their billet cam seals
Total Seal rings
oil additives
any air filter that's less than 40 bucks
Venom injectors - they just suck at what they do

I'll think of more....

They actually work pretty well for tuning part throttle/stoich.... At least mine does.

Full throttle tuning with an A/F gauge is a good recipe for broken ring lands

CovertFI · 09-10-2002, 10:08 AM

any turbonetics products (very poor quailty and customer service)
chrome ic pipes
vortech missing link check valve (had to mod it so i would not get a cel)
no matter what summit says msd does not make a dist cap for a 6gen civic!!
