the record is held by andyman97 I shot the video of it and helped build that car 489hp on 30lbs of boost and c16 race gas.

the only person that has come really close to beating him out is lsbrazila down in brazil but he has been having trouble getting things together he almost gets it and then something goes boom.

I'd say next in line would be me but it is going to require a different turbo a new custom mani (which i haven't thought up of yet) and new exhaust. that is of course if I even want to go that far to be honest I don't think I do cause 375-400 on the street is too much to handle for FWD and I am just having too much fun where I am at right the moment. If I did try and break it it would be for my buddy george the dc crew and a couple of guys over on 7thgen I don't think it would be for me and it would be a while down the road.

oh yea 350-400hp on the street is just pointless and torque steer just sux....i would just want the number on the dyno and a good pull down the track then turn the boost back down...im using meth now... i want to see how far i get on 93 pump and meth...yea i seen isbrazila vids on utube looks good but just got to get it to stay together...i hear ya you whether or not u want to go that far but you pretty much have everything so why not you know...thats just me lol

Yeah thats the thing I am already setup for it just a turbo and mani and I am good bigger injectors might be needed but the problem with hitting that high of a number is when you hit the gas on a turbo that big it just doesn't move you have to wait for it. so if I do I will probably try a twinscroll route to see if I can keep power down low.

well you just want that power for a number...cant use that on the street...you should max out your setup now and then see what needs to be changed...but u sound like you know what your doing lol.....btw what kinda of a dyno was andy on??

Re: the D17 does not suck
 
dynapacks up at jeff evans and jeff's read low the car was making over 500 even though the dyno chart said 489

and I already know what needs to be changed to make more power but I will max this setup now cause a new turbo is going to cost some money

what do ya'll think about the k20a3? just wondering. cause i can get one cheap.

shwoogie420 11-17-2010 04:14 PM

Re: the D17 does not suck
 
figure i would throw this out there to let everyone know(who is boosting there d17 with the stock intake manifold) that my stock plastic intake manifold made it to 27psi before exploding into pieces.....not bad for stock i thought..

post a pic! we wanna know if a plastic shard at great speed can punch through metal :D:D:D

Re: the D17 does not suck
 
how many pieces lol

shwoogie420 11-18-2010 06:49 AM

Re: the D17 does not suck
 
actually when it blew it hit my oil filter so hard that it left the criss cross impression on it from bottom of the manifold and cut a whole in the filter too spraying oil everywhere... it blew my map sensor clear out and the throttle body as well.....the only thing left intact really was the runners bolted to the head.... i dont have too many pieces of it left to take a pic of( as most of it is on the side of the highway lol) but i will take a pic when i get out of work later

ouchie...
plastic at high speed is really enough against sheet metal, then...

thats crazy. vilex over on 7thgen honda blew up his cuz of nitrous backfire. also shwoogie. is there any chance you still have your 8-9psi stage 3 map kickin around? i messaged u on youtube and never heard back

ronaldo9 12-09-2010 12:16 PM

Re: the D17 does not suck
 
You were boosting 27 psi on the street? Was that a boost leak or did you do this on purpose?

Re: the D17 does not suck
 
wow 7th gen honda website has the biggest set of dickriders i have ever encountered online but yea i always thought the d17 sucked because i saw andyman put so much time and work and everyone thought it was the shit maxed out his fully built setup and didnt even break 500whp lol you can make over 500whp on d17 u just have to know what ur doing which some people dont lol

If I were to do any type of k20/k24 I'd go for an Integra over an em2 Way more possibilities, overall lower cost and you can mange much more of a boost coming from em2 owner lol (04 Lx)
