Dyno Chart at 6 psi
not sure if this was asked before, but is there a DIY for that IM conversion??
that thing looks like it was made to fit in there and looks so much better than the hard right angle down into the mani that the stock IM makes the airflow take....looks like it would flow a hell of a lot better due to not having such a sharp bend right before the TB
just my .02

As far as members boosted before I was, there were some but I don't think it was that many, anyhow, I don't really care about that, I want to break the 250 whp mark, that's my goal for the stock block.
And yes, this is the vtec ex motor. It pulls decent for the power, I want more though.

But seriously, you probably don't realize how much pressure build up there is underneath the pistons. One of my close friends did this mod on his d16 turbo hatch and gained about 18 at the wheels.

Trust me I know how much pressure is built up in there, hence why we do not tell people to recirculate it into our charge pipes and make a tube on our charge piping for it either.
Good luck on that goal for the stock block, and let me know if I can be of any more assistance. I would be more worried about the 250wtq mark than hp. That TQ is what starts to 'snap' stuff.

you should make a diy for the pcv and then also get it dynoed to see if it helps a lot or just a little. Cause for 15 whp i am down. for 1 or 2 whp i rather not spend the 100 for that breather

just read all this stuff about the pcv removal gains, now ive never seen anyone try this with before and after results as andy has, but i really dont see 15whp gains coming from this. definately not from stock motor anyways(just for you guys who were thinking andy meant on a stock motor).
i know very well how it all works and what can cause extra pressure in there, especially with alot of power forcing blowby into the crankcase. but im hoping one of you will be able to break it down with detail because as i know all the details i cant see how this will bring the hp.

Rep Power: 297 Im doing the lower end soon hopefully, the CM stage one clutch will come out and a spec custom stage 5 will go in. driveshaft shop axles and more boost. How does anyone actually know 300 is the magic number for the tranny??? I havent heard any valid claims. I dont know of enough 300hp d17s to prove that for a fact. Im not saying it will hold together, but Im gunna try it because theres not much choice. 300 whp would be plenty enough if you can get it. I know of d16 turbos running well over 300. Our trans seem crappier though, to be honest. When It breaks Ill find out what broke and make something stronger, just like any other part of the car. If I have to have everything cryotreated then I will. My first bet is on the ring gear or diff, then who knows after that. We were told that a stock accord tranny wouldnt take more than 400. Its been hammered on every day for the last six months with about 500hp 430ftlb going into it and its still together.
well i know one guy, i think turboengnr (sp?) said he had problems where he had to continuously replace the input shaft bearing because the cage is plastic.
as for the 300 hp limit, thats just something ive read over the time ive been on here. ive also read older d-series trannys can supposedly line up, so maybe get the model tranny ur friend is running with and use that but i dont know about that fitment issue being true or not.

300 at the crank is like about 240 whp. I honestly believe it can handle way more. I think there is only one way to find out. I honestly hope i am not the one to find out though. The d17s are starting to produce way better numbers nowadays this is only the beginning of what is to come.

Sure man, anyone can slap on a turbo kit and boost 300 hp on a stock block.
If thats your idea of "how to properly boost an NA car" more power to you.
Once boosted now i-VTEC

Ah, standalone is so much nicer 
And thanks for all the kind words guys, just wait until I turn up the boost and post over 250whp (hopefully close to 300.)

Screw you Andy, Id put my Turbo Em2 up against yours anyday. I know what it takes to make RELIABLE POWER, a built engine.
