what kinda power this putting down?

Catalyst · 06-23-2003

Good idead Derek.

It was making 166 whp and 166 ft/lbs @ 6 psi with the stock exhaust and plugs.

When i upgraded the plugs and exhaust, i gained .4 sec on the 1/4 mile.

Beautiful, beautiful work, Catalyst. It's nice to see so many people actually caring about 7th gen Civic. I was getting very discouraged with the lack of info, and this sight is a Godsend. I thank you for your great turbo info as well.

Mad props to ya.

Thanks for the comments!
My whole purpose here is to try to get the right information out to you guys. I do have some fun on this site as well (like my supercharger kit and the BIG upgrade turbo), but thats all to relieve the stress.

If you guys have anything i can help you with, just ask. Even if it isnt about the SF turbo kit.

Not meaning to dis SF..... but what if I don't want the SF on my intercooler? I wanna keep it anonymous.....keep'em guess'in and stuff

............I wonder how "almost chrome" looks like....that blue powdercoat looks SICK!! I should've gotten that color......

Maverick · 06-28-2003

keep em guessin? once they see the intercooler, they'll know what's up whether it says sf or not.....either way, it looks good

catalyst, what weight oil are you running now, did you switch to synthetic?just want to put the best stuff in there for mine and i switched to 93 octane gas.

Catalyst · 06-28-2003

I switched over to synthetic, then the next week Honda changed my oil back to regular when i had my maintenence. That pissed me off, so i just left it the normal weight.

But if you dont want an SF logo on the intercooler, you dont have to have one. just PM me if you dont want it.

The almost chome looks pretty sweet too. I had that for 2 days before i switched to black chrome. I think i may go to another color now, but i dunno. Actually, i am going to add the air-water setup. That should look good.
