Well I got a boost gauge now........
i should hope that it shoots flames.
What kind of tires do you have that can hook at much power under full accel? I would imagine that once that turbo hits they would break lose and you would jsut have tire fire all down a track. After my swap at the end of Aug, i was thinkin about a turbo setup maybe even just for like 270whp. I want to be able to drive it everyday and not have my tires break lose at a stop light. Time to head out to the track though, i wanna see some of those numbers. Did you just buy an RSX kit, or did they have to fab. something up to fit in our engine bay?

Rep Power: 0 The only thing thats bothering me is my spoon decals on the car right now. I have spoon suspension bars on the car right now, but i dont know. Im kinda sinning as it goes right now in the eyes of Spoon as a company. Spoon is supposed to be all about the high revving N/A monster cars, not FI. Im gonna be taking off the spoon decals tomorrow. I just dont think its right to be sporting them anymore.....

Rep Power: 0 Oh and for those of you who want streetability and not break the tires while daily driving, youre in luck. Theres probably a lot of you peeps out there that havent driven FI before, but basically youre right foot determines how much boost you want. I can still drive around with even boosting. I actually did that most of the way home. I was in 6th gear at 4k doing 80 mph all the way home and never hit boost at all. So basically my gas mileage is about the same and its very streetable. Even with my setup, Im gonna drive this car daily while the weather is good up here. Hope this helps for you guys who are thinking about going FI.

Rep Power: 0 Also, Im def gonna have to get different tires for this setup. The Parada Spec 2's arent cutting it. They break loose so easily but they are pretty worn out too though. I might end up going with some Bridgestone Potenza S03's or I might try and get some serie tire from advan. I was really happy with how the yoko's performed, its just that the parada spec 2's werent designed for this application. Oh well, Ill figure out something. Ill keep you guys posted.....
Hey,
I gave your screen name to a buddy of mine that is gonna be doing my swap with me. He wanted to be able to contact people that have already done the swap incase of any questions, or things that come up. I hope thats cool with you.
You think that the CN Stage 1 Kit is a good kit for me if i dont want a huge amount of power, and i dont want to upgrade the internals and what not. Basically i want a plug and play without all the headaches of going deep into it. Or should i just stick with NA. I know that i can make the S motor go low 13's (which is what i want) on NA. What do you think, without being too bias with the turbo. I do a moderate amount of racing on the weekends, but a lot of highway driving, and city driving. As i said, my goal is mid to low 13's.

Rep Power: 419 Okay, WTF!? Flames!? Yeah, um... The real numbers that this thing is pushing (when traction is solved) is more on the order of 550hp at 25psi. 600 at 30psi. I would solve that traction problem ASAP. Really nice numbers though dude. Props.

Rep Power: 334 well .. all other generation civics with H22.. b16.. B18.. (turbo/supracharged/nitro combo of all 3.. wutever) has officially been owned by a 7thgen.
cybernation turbo kit? i hope they make one to add to the competition. seems like SFpower is the majority's choice around here. but that just means that they can jack up the price wenever the want!.. more competition = lower prices for everyone.

Rep Power: 0 I guess you could compare it to that, but man I dont know. These K series motors are strong as ****. Its pretty impressive to see a motor take 30 psi no problems, but everything else like hoses and such are breaking. Dont worry though, we got all of the problems fixed and its running so well right now.
