Tuned at Churches!

ohhhh....i like those numbers!....13psi though damn.

i dont wanna go past 9 or 10! this car needs to last at least another 5 years!

There is really no danger in boosting these motors up to 16psi even. What you need to make sure of is that your turbo is efficient flow wise. You need a good flowing exhaust and turbo that will keep your cylinder pressures and backpressures in check. Those are the big killers at the higher boost levels. Like the GReddy turbo is NOT very efficient at all. So your pressures will be a little on the high side at the higher boost pressures. But with a good flowing manifold and turbo and exhaust and a spot on tune you can run 16psi+ all day on these motors. There are RSX guys running 16psi+ with well over 400whp for years with their Full-Race kits and Kpro.

i feel like im kinda regretting buying the greddy kit...but the deal was too good to pass up...if i can just nail at least 275/220 on the dyno ill be happy and leave it at that. Would you be doing any of the work at ballistic mike?

its highly likely that if you get it installed at ballistic that mike will be doing the work, lol

I guarantee that I will be installing your kit. Especially since it's a Civic and Scott knows that I know this car way better than he does. So ya, I'll be doing your install. And probably fine adjusting your FlashPro tune if you are using the FP. Which you better be. And I will probably take your car for a serious beating when I'm done.... Jk bro....

haha...i will be using flashpro yes.

beat the livin piss out of it! pop her boost cherry

The Civic are slowly taking over Ballistic

PS - car feels awesome with the clutch finally adjusted

Nah. Scott probably wouldn't be too happy about me pounding a customers car to death. Although we do have to test them out fairly well. But I was just kidding bro. We will take good care of your baby. Just ask Phalanx.

You are so right. now that Hondata has arrived on the scene the 8th gen is going to be a hot car for heavy mods. It is the best looking car in it's class, by far. And the motor is AWESOME!!!

I bet that clutch feels way better now. I need a clutch now too. but my stock clutch is actually holding up pretty well. But not for long. That new turbo will take care of that. If I don't install the clutch at the same time as the snail.

to many ppl on these boards dont know enough about turbo's or turbo setups.. PSI means nothing 16psi on a greddy turbo could equal the output of the Swift turbo on 8-9 PSI , it depends on the size of the turbo , what you need to look at is how much CFM the turbo flows.. Diff size turbo's are gonna move Diff amounts of air at the same PSI rating , Due to the size of the turbo.. PSi means nothing.. its more about the amount of power you are trying to reach.. and the efficiency of the turbo and the quality of the tune.. there are many variables that go into determining what we can or cant do safely.. its been proven that the K series motors can make 400-450HP safely if properly setup and tuned.. and maintained ... you could run a Si at 350-375 as a DD and not have to worry about killing the motor for those that want to play it safe..

This is correct. If you over-advance the cam angle with the JR and CT superchargers you will simultaneously increase the boost and decrease the power. There is also a 1-2 psi drop in boost at the VTEC point at which point torque jumps 10-15 ft pounds.
