For what? It's already installed
Making 430 whp/305 tq @ 25 psi, going to retune in a week for another 5 psi.

Oh, for a second I thought you were taking out your existing setup and putting in a new one, again.

 
Rep Power: 228

man, your numbers are crazy. this must be a first to see those kind of numbers on a d17a2. its amazing how someone can take a car that comes with 130hp and with some determination and will power, make it into a 450hp beast.

 
Rep Power: 225

^^^130hp what care are you talking about the d17a2 comes with about 100whp and i belive 115bhp

 
Rep Power: 228

lol, i was just using as an example.
but from what honda says its got 127hp. im guessing thats right out of the factory on to a dino, with zero miles. but more realistic numbers are like what you said.

 
Rep Power: 350

127 is brake hp, not wheel.

 
Rep Power: 282

^ as in flywheel hp

Regardless he is making ridiculous high numbers for a single cam motor that the majority of people say is worthless

No he's not. Andy is a punk with a leaf blower strapped to his intake. The only handle that man has ever turned is a broom handle. Ask Rufus.

You're good at turning *****. For real, some ppl actually believe you guys, lol.

Going back to the noise that I heard, it was exactly like this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXpIOTq15h4

the video is a supra on the dyno, not the first one, but the second one, you hear the car revving higher, then all the sudden it just sounds like static noise. kind of like the noise that you hear when you stick your head out the window going 70 mph. Does your guy's cars make that noise like in the video?

 
Rep Power: 350

Just the sound of valves moving stupid fast. As long as you aren't getting ignition breakup, you should be fine.

 
Rep Power: 228

^^^x2 for real

 
Rep Power: 288

Hm, that's cool. Seriously sounded like a jet though! Damn! That would scare the crap out of me if I didn't know what it was! Ha ha

 
Rep Power: 350

Yeah, my turbo is ridiculously loud when it hits full boost.

I've been having some boost leak issues from the wastegate and up until now, I didn't realize how bad it had gotten.

Yesterday, I replaced the diaphragm and 12 psi spring in the wastegate, put in a new solid gasket btw the wg and mani and all new lock washers on all four wg bolts and holy **** does that thing spool stupid fast now. I'm hitting 20+ psi by 4500.

Only problem is, the diaphragm doesn't want to stay seated. The boost is wanting to spike straight to 26 psi. Looks like I'm giving up on the tial and going to give the synapse synchronic a shot. Will keep updated.

DAMN Andy that spool up is stupid fast!!!

 
Rep Power: 288

Oooo, 20psi by 4500, sounds tasty...

 
Rep Power: 350

Gayness. Ok, problem solved with the wastegate. Turns out kpro wanted to be a glitchy ***** and not accept my changes to the ebcs duty cycle. I finally told it to stop being a ***** and it worked. Held 8 psi in 2d gear all the way to 8k. New 10 psi spring coming in tomorrow. I'll throw that ho in and should be all set for 30 psi of fun on Saturday.

 
Rep Power: 265

^nice work andy; thats sick! i wish i could experience 30psi of fun in my civic.

 
Rep Power: 273

Sweet!!!!

i think we're in for a 500 whp d17, good luck andy!

 
Rep Power: 350

I seriously doubt I'll see 500. I'd have to do headwork to get there. Everything in the setup is capable of reaching that mark, but the head just isn't efficient enough to get me there with this turbo. I'd have to step up to a 35, but I'm not that worried about it. 475 is good enough.

But who knows, depending on who else makes closer numbers, it may end up being worth it to do a full pnp with oversize valves and a valve job to see if we can't make 525+.

Thanks for the support, guys.

 
Rep Power: 228

call you car a ***** and she'll listen.
500hp seems like a reach. but who knows maybe youll get the itch for more power

well andy, as ive seen uve spent some big bucks and in the right place, done so much and officialy are the fastest out there (never know,maybe some geometry freak in phillipines or japan might just be a bit faster, but oh heck) so why not spend an extra 1000 and go for the pnp? itll FOR SURE hit 550+ at 30 psi with a new wastegate and tune

if u dont have an apexi avcr as a boost controller i advise u to go for that and raise upto 2.2 bar

 
Rep Power: 350

I very seriously doubt that I will get the VE up enough in this cylinder head with only 1 camshaft to surpass 500 whp, it's not feasable.

And thanks for the advice on the boost controller, but why in hell would I ever want to consider an ebc when I have completely limitless control of boost at every gear and every rpm that I want with kpro? That would be like going from a stage 3 to a stage 2 camshaft....doesn't make sense, does it?

 
Rep Power: 0

well, justmy two cents

i dont know how the k pro works so i wouldnt bother commenting

but either way wether 550 or not, the pnp is the final and a must product

 
Rep Power: 314

cool

 
Rep Power: 352

ey....i wouldnt bother trying to advise someone that THAT much knowledge... im sure if he needed it, it would haev had it. his Kpro can already do everything including launching missiles

put your car in turbo magazine so i can read about it in the head.
your numbers make my pants tight
