Shootin to be the fastest D17...
Lol... when I say this I mean, my car's right behind Catalyst (possibly faster, we shall see)... nothing personal lol.
THIS IS ALL ON STOCK INTERNALS. A year after when I rebuild the car with these mods I should be running low to mid 12s (w/slicks).
I actually owe it to SF for their service in helping me get the setup I have now. They're good guys, even though they're busy, and will do what it takes to please their customers.
Anyway... I got a new turbo, one because of problems with original wastegate, and 2, i wanted more power so i chose to pay for a big upgrade and buy a larger turbo...
I now have (installed and runnign) a T04B, with T3 wheel, clipped. The VAFC2 goes in hopfully next week. My fuel got recalibrated last month so that's perfect now. My Moroso oil breather system, and moroso battery relocation system get installed during the week when I finally buy 4awg wire. When that's done, im makeing a new pipe so the filter can be right behind the headlight.
Needless to say, 10psi, alcy injection, denso plugs, race clutch and flywheel, T04 turbo, with equal runner manifold and a cat-less exhaust...
It will all be dyno tuned in mid-late aprile once it warms up here, and should be making about 275whp. I plan on using my civ for heavy racing (full course mainly, with occasional drag). Check out my profile to see all of my mods, and mods to be. Thanks to Dezod for my sponsership... Even if you're not sponsered by him, he still gives out awesome deals so click my sig at the bottom to check him out!!!
Now for the pics...
Whatcha guys think of this lil setup?

Rep Power: 326 Yeah I have no doubt JWCardy will be faster than me for the next year or so (good luck man!).
For a stock internal D17 (no porting, sleeving, pistions, rods, etc...) I think I'll have the fastest one. But I think I'll also run against a lot of civs that are being ported.
I have many other mods making my car faster, not just engine stuff. For drag I don't know how I'll do. Put me on a full course and I'll own pretty well. Not too sure who on this site would have enough to beat me. I did brakes, suspension, and power, with a strong clutch and cooling system. Being sponsored is a great thing lol, and I've been shooting for road racing since day 1.
