F-max was bought out? - Honda Prelude Forum

phayze one · 02-20-2003, 04:25 PM

I got an email from ImportParts.com saying they no longer carry F-max products because the company was bought out. I've also been trying to get on F-max's website for the past week and it's gone. No wonder I can't get a straight answer from anyone on purchasing parts of the kit.

The bulk of my custom turbo kit project comes from F-max parts.

Has anyone else heard this?

yea i heard some bigger company bought them out.
but i heard that like a month ago.

turbonetics bought them out. Its too bad I hope their kits will still be quality.

Apparently turbokits.com is still selling their stuff....

I'm buying an intercooler and downpipe from them.

man screw Fmax, their Kits are junk IMHO. Get the Revhard kit if you get a kit for h22..otherwise go custom so you can get exactly what you want...

I'm using the bare minimum parts from fmax (downpipe, manifold, ic) and customizing everything else.

Max rev Manifold is SOOO Much nicer. Allows a E sized turbo not just a B, and also is the only manifold I know of right now that doesn't crack easily.

I've debated back and forth so much between the manifolds. So many factors to consider

buh_buh · 02-21-2003, 07:25 PM

Maxrev manifold!!

sagaprelude · 02-22-2003, 06:44 PM

drag4 manifold is cool too....

C-Redrum · 02-22-2003, 10:54 PM

max rev manifold is junk, people seem to say about the H22's on Honda-Tech, they say they do not make as much HP as other manifolds...If I had one id definitley get it coated as well.

buh_buh · 02-23-2003, 02:31 PM

yea I got mine ceramic coated, but dont have pics.

C-Redrum · 02-23-2003, 09:45 PM

oh so you are going turbo ? very nice....If i were you id prepare for a bottom end buildup sometime soon though.

buh_buh · 02-23-2003, 09:59 PM

yeap,
I plan on keeping it stock for this year. If it'll last until October or November then I'll resleeve the block and get some JE's.

If you guys think that MaxRev's turbo manifolds are nice, check out Turbo-Performance.com or Full-Race.com. F-R.com is still in the process of building the manifold for the Preludes. I'm sending them a sketch of how to make my custom manifold, so I won't have to run Civic radiator.
