Greddy E-Manage w/ Pressure sensor, Ignition harness, Injector Harness

I though they are the same. Well not excatly the same, Greddy Profec E-01 has little bit more feature then E-Manage. Why do you have both?

The Profec E is a boost controller, the e-Manage isn't, the Profec E allows you to control/datalog the e-Manage with out a labtop...

Very nice setup. Only problem I see is that you are trying for over 200 whp. That is the problem with the D17 engines--even turbo-charged they aren't makin huge numbers. At least with a K20A2 you can say that when you turbo-charge it you will be tryin for over 350 whp. And that is a fairly conservative goal.

Its easy to get over 200 whp on a civic just ****ing run a large amount of psi the engine wont stand it unless you work on the internals but hell you can make a d17 produce some good hp with some work

you dont need to change the head gasket. just tune the car well. You will only blow it if its poorly tuned and it detonates.

Sounds like a nice setup. Similar to mine. I have a bit larger injectors, 40mm tial wastegate, a 60-1 turbo, ACT clutch, and a stainless equal length manifold.

I am sure you will be more than happy with those parts. I had most of those parts on my car before, and i made well over 200 with the stock motor. Now im shooting a little higher, like the 500 whp range.

If you look at that and laugh, im sure my sponsors will slap you.


One of the best things you can do (and i recommend you do) is port the head. If you do that, you can make over 200 whp on 7-8 psi. I made 190 whp and 188 ft/lbs on 8 psi with 3 broken pistons and scored cylinder walls. I made 235 whp on 8 psi with a good tune, and a non-broken motor.

SOHC motors have the same potential as any other motor. All a motor does is get air in and out, right? The more air you get in, the more power you make.

I am completely re-designing the ports on the head. They dont even come close to resembling the ones that honda gave me to start with. We are flow-testing everything, and the numbers are looking awesome!

With enough boost, i should have no problem making that power. The bottom end is built stout as hell. Im planning on 425 whp on the turbo alone, then the nitrous on top of that.

I will share my other little secrets when the car is up and making that power.

oh, and before anyone mentions it....

I am not making the ports as big as possible. I am keeping velocity in mind.

(i know someone would try to say something about that)

yup, everybody wants to start with 200, than once that seems pretty slow (a couple days), you want more power. Everybody just says 200 so they dont get flamed I believe. I want to get up to 350whp, maybe more, and Ill be happy. (maybe)
