AvanishV,
If King motorsports is telling you that it takes 10 hours to install the thing I would definitely worry. It should only take an experienced tech around 4 hrs, I believe.

I live my life on the line.............the redline!
1994 Granada Black Pearl Civic coupe w/ 96 LS motor soon to be charged, supercharged that is.
For an EXPERIENCE installer, it should take roughly 6-8 hours. My shop has installed a good number of JRSCs and now can install them very quickly.
The more practice, the less you have to rely on instructions, and more on install quality.

It took 10 hours to do mine, at my house. Air tools are a BIG time saver. I have these at my house so that is prob. why it did not take that long. Well and the fact that i had one licensed tech and another that has went to school but is not licensed helping. I did the pump at the same time. BTM and J&S were done the weekend before.
In a shop with someone that has done it before it should take no more then 8 hours. And that is doing a good job. I could do it in 8 again at my house easy with the same people helping.
That intake manifold gasket sucks that is what took the longest (1 1/2hrs) for me.

btw: 4 hrs. WTF? its an 8hr. min. job if ya done the shitz before...i've done that shitz twice and damn you must be one fast mutha or that sucka is gonna monkey up yo ride...slap everythang in and super glue the f--ker--wholla...done!--pleassse.
peace.
The people who are going to do the install are JR distributors but I still don't think they know how to tune it since I know the guy who owns the shop and he doesn't seem too knowledgable about tuning issues.
By the way, I live in Minneapolis,MN.

Avanish,
please don't forget that i
also do SC installs....
Avanish,
King motorsports is definitely a respected company with many years working on/building championship winning road race cars(SCCA etc). I don't think 10 hours is a unreasonable amount of time to estimate for the install. It took a dealer about that long to do my civic. Even if they haven't done many JR installs, they definitely have the tools to make sure it is installed right. They probably work/bill on a hourly bais. That is why you can't get a exact price at this time. Not to name names but....just because someone is a "authorized installer/distributor" doesn't mean you will be happy with their work. I took my car for some 'tuning' to one and had to redo simple things like gauge installs. They left wires laying across the engine. They hooked up power to the gauges by pinning the positive wire between the fuses and the fuseblock.

You're right that King is a very respected place. That's why I wanted to go with them in the first place. But I kind of worry when someone doesn't give me a definite price. They said 8-10 hours work. But if it takes 15 hours, I would be forced to pay the price since they didn't give an exact price.
How hard is it to install one of these anyway? My understanding was that installing it wasn't that difficult but tuning needed experience.
WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK OF THIS. I WILL GET THE SC INSTALLED AT THE JR DISTRIBUTOR THAT I PLANNED TO GET IT DONE AT FOR $500. THEN I'LL TAKE MY CAR TO KING TO TUNE MY CAR WITH THE CAM GEARS. THIS WAY, KING WILL STILL ULTIMATELY TUNE MY CAR FOR A DEFINITE PRICE ($400 FOR CAM GEAR INSTALL AND TUNING).

TurboGSR,
Since the authorized JR distributors as well as King Motorsports all charge $500, I would need a price lower than that if I were to consider going with an individual over a shop.
