Si k20/24 recently got tuned on pump gas makes little bit over 530whp on 8psi and is totaly useless in every gear just breaks loose and hits redline and in april when track opens up for us i will be retuning it on c16 for 800whp so my question is will the hondata traction control help me when i drive on the streets or is it good to a certain power limit
It works by cutting ignition and allowing a certain percentage of slip. With enough traction built into your setup, it is going to help you regardless.
Hondata's traction control isn't like a factory system, it uses the ABS lines to pull ignition. A typical traction control system also uses the same sensors but rather than pulling ignition it pumps the ABS system to reduce wheel spin to that particular wheel. This is apples to oranges honestly.

Still waiting on that traction control guys but new ideas thinking about the magnus intake manifold or the gato manifold anybody use them?? And how do you like it ??
Hell with e-85 and c16. Look up shell urt advanced. Haven't used it but from the searching I did its some powerful ****. It's unleaded and can be mixed with 93. 115 octane. People were claiming around 100hp in gains.
Long story short, traction control wont work correctly or safely. You nee boost by gear, which will basically reduce the horspower of your motor to a level where you can gain traction.
300hp is about all that you can use in a front wheel drive car on street tires.
No, not again, it was hard enough to explain the simplest physics to these simpletons last time.
If anyone is interested as to why you can NEVER use that much power in a fwd car on the street (and read about VitViper's souped up Honda Civic with a few bolt ons and skinny street tires that is faster than a Buggatti Veyron), then click the link: http://www.8thcivic.com/forums/garage/307173-physics-front-wheel-drive.html
There are a few 8th gens at this power level..... The simple fact is that we're not using 800 plus hp off the line or at low speeds all the limiters and traction control limit the output power of the engine for a given load, rpm, gear.... With that much power you can spin the tires on command at almost any speed even above 90 mpg on street tires. But 800 plus hp and the tq that goes along with that is what makes the car accelerate in the top end area 145 and on and it still pull like your in third....
