I should know soon, when I get the engine running.
I have 75 shoot know and it dyno @160hp to the wheels.
Changing the fuel system is something I have to do later any way you are right it does helps.
Do you have all the info on the parts and where to get them reasonably priced?
May be a DYI?
Here is my NX system the way it looks now. (till next week)

Your 75 shot only dyno'd 160 hp at the wheels? SpdRcrChk's 75 shot on her ex dyno'd at 185 hp to the wheels. There is a bigger difference than i thought between the Ex and Lx when spraying.

Also some ppls tunning is different than others and some times you'll get different results.
I'm very eager to get get my set up done, and can't wait till next week and see the results.
This time I'll have some good mechanics behind and I'm sure they'll crack the code and let the horses out.
Besides the assurance that I have the internals to take the abuse I'll be happy with whatever results as long as the engine runns efficiently and is durable.
I wander, since I changed the cubic inches when I bore out the sleeves for bigger pistons
whould that make my 1.7 D17 to 1.9 D19?
or may be a 2.0?
I'll investigate.

Rep Power: 328 IS ALIVE
We are dead tired but is looking and running great.
The next 500ml are critical.
We'll know if all is well after giving the valves a final adjustment.
I'll wait till i get like a 1000ml before I spary n2o, just to be safe
Will download pictures of the job later on the week.
Soon I'll have the dyno sticker and I'll post it.
A lot of ppl are claiming to have all kinds of HP but I only belive it when I see the slip.

Rep Power: 374 With all those mods, are you going to take advantage of your engine's ability to rev higher? Also, are you gonna through in some engine management? Imagine having a d17 that was able to top 8500 - 9000 rpms

Rep Power: 328 Well, is one thing at the time.
If it was that easy or cheap everyone will be doing it.
The important part is that is done right.
My philosophy is that till the engine is prep and ready then all the extras will follow.
You can't build a house from the roof down.
I drove the car to Tampa about an hour or so and it was running great.
I was in 5th and it felt like I was on 4th plenty of power left.
The port and polish head alouds more air to go in and the ACT clutch is deffinately awesome I just let out 1st gear and is torque from hell.
My bore now is about 1.799, so my car is a 1.8 liter or so.
Honda is taking care of all the kinks.
Thanks to Darren 7th gen inca pearl from Tampa gave me a ride back to O-town. Is nice to have such good friends from the site.
There is an ECU bypass being developed just for my car, it will take about a month or so.
I'll not turbo my car till the engine is fully ready to take it.
As is with n2o I have the one of the top 5 fastest 7th gen in Florida and the only one with full internals done.

Rep Power: 0 $5600 !!!! What I can't understand is why people spend so much on civics. It would be cheaper IMO to buy a car that already has ***** and then add to its aesthetic value. Whatever, though. Mad props to those who can fork over the money to do the work....I hope the time and money you put into it make it worth while as well as the additional power you get out of it.

To buy a 14-18k fuell economy car and customise it to your taste.
We still have a 22k - 26kcar with a lot of ***** and tailor made. Can't beat that!
My friend has a bad a$$ twin Turbo RX7 just spended 18k on his engine internals and turbo upgrades.
If you ask him or ppl like him, they say the same thing.
Have you seen Papadadakin's Civic?

Rep Power: 0 I feel you on that one man. Buying a car that comes with all the nice **** on it is probably a shitload more economical, but where's the fun in that? Civics are only diamonds in the rough, and doing something like you did just backs that up. Nicely done Mex!!!!!!!
