Really sorry guys...

[cool2miketlu]

Where is Richard or SF people? Looks like no replies from SF crew for a long time... Hope nothing is wrong.

[mrtomcat]

SF Crew is working reaaaaaaly hard to get everything out the door.
I was at Staffords shop on Saturday to finish tuning my car and they are just focusing on finishing the kits.

All I have to say to you guys, be patiend, my car is flying now it is well worth the wait

[Catalyst]

hey this is sfpower sorry for the lack of communication we had some projects at the shop that didn't get paid for and we had a few extra bills show up and it put us in a real bad sistuation . we didn't know if we would pull through but now we are back on track and sending stuff out so i your waiting on a kit don't worry we didn't die and we go out of buissness. we trying very hard to be caught up by the end of next week.

thankyou

[fraugts]

some of us are desperate 'cause like a month ago we heard the phrase: "Your kit will be done in 2 weeks" (famous phrase among turbo kit sellers, now that I think about it, heheh). I'll keep being patient, and I know Im gonna receive a great kit, but this is just the side of the customer showing up, guys.

Mrtomcat, Im really waiting for you to go to the track and put some good numbers with the kit.

[RelentlessRacer23]

where is my tracking number??

[nug2k_xyr]

I'm going to Irwindale on Thursday (1/8 mile)
I will have to do some practising though because the power is right there now not like the nitrous where it hit at wot only. It'll take a few tries
I will head to the dyno sometime next week to find out how much it's putting out and to fine tune some more. I also don't have the alcohol injection yet so there will still be some more potential for growth.

[Alfy1]

wheres the install guide?

Basically I took all the pictures and notes for it but haven't had any time to draft it up - I got slammed at work this week with a special project, and I wound up helping some friends out with their cars at night.

I'm on vacation for 2 weeks and we have guests and i have an engine I have to build for someone, but I'm going to try and work on getting the written part done - I already have all the pictures resized at work, so if I get all the written steps done then all I have to do is marry them and add a few footnotes and callouts and we should be GTG.

Oh - this guide is going to be turbo and pipes only - I have to get with Stafford to see how the black box is wired up, as I was not present when it was installed on Thomas's car.

Are they using Split Second FTC1-E? If yes then I can take a picture of my ECU wireing but then mine is all heat shrink wrapped so gonna be alittle hard to see all the sodering done...

yep that's the one.
I just got the software and I believe it has install instructions. I'll check tomorrow

A picture would be great...But i just need to know how I am going to connect the orange wire. (I figured out the green and violet).

[mrtomcat]

Actually I think it's the AIC1....not the FTC1...I have to look under the hood to be sure though

in any case here are the Install instructions for the AIC1

http://www.splitsec.com/products/instpdfs/aic1inst.pdf

http://www.splitsec.com/products/datapdfs/aic1ds.pdf

[Alfy1]

I have a PSC1-001B. The orange wire is supposed to connect onto a ground wire in the relay, inorder to controll the fuel pump. My problem is I only have one ground wire on my relay and it is grounded.(azntwins has two grounds on his relay). I dont know how else i could connect the fuel pump to the Split Second.

[mrtomcat]

I take a picture of my box/relay tonight when I get home from work

[AznTwins]

I have the Split Second PSC1.

Alfy1: I only have one ground on my relay, the ground from the relay goes to the orange wire.

Also the wiring guide SF sent me was wrong, they had the maf in and maf out backwards, that's why i couldn't rev past 3000 rpm. But for anymore info or wiring diagram on the Split Second PSC1. http://www.splitsec.com/products/psc1/PSC1001.htm

But if anyone from SF reads this, Can I get my $150 refund on the cold air intake option that i didnt get and do not want anymore. You can paypal it to me at AznTwins1@hotmail.com and could you send me my alcohol injection kit. Thanks

[exotic performance]

can i get my tracking number

[tfnaaf]

hey guys, your thread looks a lot like ours on the 7th gen civic forum........ does the picture look familar?

http://www.7thgencivic.com/forums/sh...5&page=1&pp=15

[cool2miketlu]

WOW!!!!! If I did not click on the link I would not have know all the stuff going on.
I do hope everything gets resolved on both side, and Mike should stop R&D for awhile until all orders have been filled.

[tfnaaf]

If the purpose of posting this link was for us (customers waiting for SF kit) to panic...well, mission accomplished (now Im #$%^ worried).

Well - its rather interesting to see that catalyst posts HERE - he doesn't even post in the civic forum anymore.....

[fraugts]

Richard (RADR1732) posts frequently...still, the results are still the same.

Richard: I never thought the situation was this bad.

[exotic performance]

man i seen that post last week and read everything over there.. but i didnt want to be the one to let everything out.. CAN I GET MY TRACKING NUMBER

[RADR1732]

To everyone:

Look guys... I'm sorry I don't post much on this thread. I honestly hate posting no news or bad news. Lately thats all I've been getting. I'm giving you guys info as I get it. I was told that exotic performance's kit was shipped via USPS and I was told that he was going to be contacted with a tracking number. I was told that a few other kits where installed inlcluding RelentlessRacer23's kit was shipped and that they were going to contact him with a tracking number. There were other kits that were shipped that they said that people were going to be contacted.

Bottom line is that I'm just sharing what I'm told. I wish I had more control over the situation and had better things to tell you guys but trust me I'm sharing all the information that I get. I know SF would rather have things go smoother, because all this negative publicity is not helping business any. I live too far to their place and honestly can't find any time to make the drive to go to SF myself and visually check on what's going on, but I really wish I could to help everyone out. Boosted2.0, Smaay, and mrtomcat have been there and tell me that SF is trying very hard to finish all their orders, and I don't have a reason to think they are lying to me.

Again guys, sorry. I'm really trying my best. You guys should have seen my phone bill last month from all the calls I've been getting from everyone.

Richard

[exotic performance]

I understand Richard you just the middle man helping us out. You have no control over what SF actually do. But thanks for helping us out

WHO KNEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[fraugts]

well... back to waiting

[RelentlessRacer23]

just to let everybody know, stafford's website is running again. i just checked like 2 minutes ago

[AznTwins]

They have some new turbo kit pics on there for the mr2 spyder and scion xb. Looks good. Keep up the good work. How much would it cost if i wanted to upgrade turbo to the T3/T04b? And how much faster does it spool than the T3 Super 60?

[nug2k_xyr]

What comes with the GTS kit? T3/T04b or the T3 Super 60? Does anyone know if they are caught up so I can order mine and receive it before August 20th?

You are not the only one, my friend. Sadly, future customers are reading all the bad process this is taking.

Its a t3/t04. Only the gt comes with a super 60

[exotic performance]

hey i have been waiting for over 4 months myself

[BiZzyCeLiGT]

well according to sfpower all the kits are up to date. They have been posting consistently over on spyderchat to promote their kit. Maybe u guys can get in touch with him over there.

here's the thread and quote:

anyway, my kit does not require larger injectors because we raise the fuel pressure to add more fuel, and we do not play with the pulsewidth. we have made 251 whp on the stock 1zz injectors on a stock 1zz motor. Fuel is not a problem with our fuel system

in the past 2 weeks we have sent out kits to all the honda people waiting and all of the past due celica people. We are currently up to date. That is why we had enough time to prototype the MRS kit. If we were still far behind, we wouldnt have had time to do as much as drive the MRS.

[fraugts]

I will not believe a thing until I have at least a tracking number...

you do realize that if you stop their business, then people who ordered previously probably wont get their kits too?

just a thought... if you want them to close the shop, spread the negative publicity..

[cool2miketlu]

So who is waiting for their kit? Did you guys get your tracking numbers like the spyderchat post said?
Would be very messed up if they did not do what they said.

1st off, i'm not trying to stop anybody's business. I think its great that they are including the spyder in their projects and look forward to the results, but customers that have paid for a kit should be kept up to date and not ignored while you promote your product on another site. And they are the ones responsible for the negative publicity. This is a public forum and people should be aware of whats going on expecially since they have invested in the kits which were supposely shipped out already.

dont think I dont agree with you, I do - this is why I think it is better to pay more and deal with big shops or TRD, HOWEVER if nobody orders more of their kits, company will go down for sure, and nobody is going to get their money :-)

[fraugts]

Some of us are so frustrated, there are no more words to describe it. I really doubt a company like SF will go down; we just wanna know what happened with our money (turbo kit? hmmm). Four months are more than enough to assemble all the kit's components, and the $$ charged is sufficient for components and profit, so I dont see any reason for SF to run low on $$ (unless he's using the $$ in things not related to the kits). The negative publicity has been achieved only by the company; customers had paid their kits (civic kits and celica's), and had waited way more time than promised.

[exotic performance]

i still dont have my kit. it was supposed to be here this week

Bro... I know you're frustrated. Honestly I do get frustrated too because I get so many calls and messages with angry people wanting to know where their money went. I'm still very confident that everyone will be taken cared of.

I guess the situation is different, but I mean there are guys out there who have been waiting a whole lot longer for competitive kits to be released and shipped to them. I'm just asking for a little bit of faith here guys. Mike has never let me down and I know he won't let you guys down. He has worked too hard to get his business to this point, and I know he wouldn't be sacrificing loosing everything he has worked for now.

same here, i hope it will be here next week. i also hope all the components are in the box. it would suck like hell if u are missing something after waiting for so long.

[cool2miketlu]

Didn't they say the parts were all shipped in spyderchat forums?? Well I guess SF people better not talk about DA Sport people about taking money and not ship something from now on. As I recall SF people made fun of DA Sport people about taking money and not ship something after about 2~3 months.
And no comparing to DA Sports is not right, these people bought from Mike even was told that it was shipped but did not. They are doing business with SF and SF is fully responsible for this mess, compare it to others don't do jack for them. Atleast DA Sport people is honest enough to not lie about sending it. Or lie on another forum trying to get more stuff sold instead of working on the setup paid for already. Atleast DA Sport has decency not to take any more orders, according to Spyderchat SF is trying to get more kit sold while they can not get what they sold already out.

As you can tell I am pissed at the fuel rail fiasco.

[Alfy1]

I agree with Mike on this one. SF should have made sure to get all their current customers before they go on looking for others. I think that shows total disrespect for his current customers w/o kits.
