Well I got a boost gauge now........
I really dont know where to start. These guys at CN really know their stuff and work hard day AND night! I needed to be out of by sunday and they stayed up all night to get my car built, broken in, and dynoed. These guys are sick when it comes down to getting things done.
I want to thank Lee (the everything/anything k series extraordinaire), Simon (You are a killer motor builder!), Paul, Eric and everyone else (sorry I didnt catch everyone's names). You guys are all high class tuners. Also, Thanks again for putting up with my bothering you guys each day. I know that must of gotten annoying. I was/still just anxious to see what this motor can do. Actually I should say what this motor cant do!
All in all, if you want to get any power out of the k series motors, I urge you to go down to Ft. Lauderdale and have them work their magic.
Now for the numbers.......
When it came down to it all, at 25 psi......
425whp 350lbs. in a dyno room at 95 degrees with a hell of a lot of humidity.
And the thing is, is that on my type r ecu it has a 140 kmh (110 mph) fuel cut so once I figure a way around that it should get higher numbers on there too.
We also got a few runs in at 30 psi but werent able to get any numbers because of various things happen. One run we blew up a U bend hose in two and they had to make a solid U bend pipe just to handle that.
The next 30 psi run they did, they motor took the psi like a champ, but the BOV didnt like it at all and was catapulted because of the boost. Trust me, I wouldnt be surprized if those runs were well into the 500's whp.
Oh and the fact that at those high boost runs, the car was spinning the tires on dyno is something that cant be helped without getting new tires, which im gonna have to.
Sorry if all this info is too much, but its pretty amazing what can be done with these k series motors! Oh and just for you guys who dont know this is the setup on the car right now:
2002 Honda Civic EX (425whp 350lbs. so far.....)
K20A Type R Head and trans
K20A2 Type S block sleeved with darton sleeves
CN custom 9:1 Forged pistons and rods
550CC injectors
HKS SSBOV
Turbonetics Deltagate
Spearco Intercooler
A/F Ratio and Boost Gauges
Apexi SAFC II
CN's Black Magic ELF system
Well thats about it, I just want to thank everybody at CN for everything!

Rep Power: 0 Not yet, just got back from Ft. Lauderdale last night. We were kinda messing around with a tuned turbo supra last night. We hung with it, but then we both had to slow down because of up coming traffic. Dont worry, Ill be getting more and more kill stories as time goes on.

Rep Power: 0 Is there anymore engine work you can do to make your car faster without sacrificing anymore of the street drivability? (besides of course the fact that the car is so powerful)
BTW, that is so sweet, you are doing exactly what I want to do to my engine, build it to be as fast and powerful as possible (I'm hopin' 500-700 whp no more, maybe a little less if necessary).

Rep Power: 0 If you guys want the price, head on over to Cybernation Motorsports. They have the pricing on each of the stages there. Oh and also for you guys who dont want to do the engine swap, still give them a call. I talked to Lee at CN and he said that he should still be able to turbo the d17 too. Trust me, they might not be able to get crazy numbers out of that motor, but they can probably get something out of it thats respectable. I thought I would pass that along to you guys who are working a budget. Give them a call and see what you can work out.
Thanks again for the words of encouragement. I would post dyno sheets that I have but my old crappy scanner only works on win 95/98/me and im on windows xp. Ill try to get pics made up this weekend. Its been kinda nuts around here so give me a little time.

i just wanted to say that what you have done is amazing, and if i ever had money i would probably be calling you for more info! But great job...it gives me hope that maybe one day my civic might be fast! Thanks for the inspiration!!!

Rep Power: 0 I got to ride in it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOO! I've been waiting to say that since last night!!!
It was SICK, just completely ****ING SICK!!!! And it wasn't even being pushed... it was being driven softly.
It scares me thinking of what that car is capable of.
Oh man, but it rocks my world hard!
hehehehe
But Paul, you never mentioned the best part of it all... and I don't wanna ruin the fun, so I won't say anything.... if you don't know what I'm talking about, IM me.
ROCK ON!
