Re: 2007 Si sedan prize If you are going to Turbo and really want some raw power, make sure you get K-pro...I tried to skip this step and I am chasing things left and right.... |
Re: 2007 Si sedan prize so what exactly is that? all i know is that its a reprogrammable ECU...what does it do? and are you suggesting i get it before or with my turbo.. and do you or anyone else have any other suggestions on what i can do next before i get my turbo |
Re: 2007 Si sedan prize Someone correct me if I'm wrong but K-Pro allows you to tune your engine to properly deal with the turbo. The stock ECU cannot properly and completely account for it. I don't know a heck of a lot about tuning/engine management, but you can check out their website for info on what exactly it does. Sorry if this wasn't that helpful haha. I tried. It looks like the '06-'10 civic si uses Flashpro not kpro (still a Hondata product) http://www.hondata.com/flashpro_civicsi.html here's k-pro http://www.hondata.com/kpro.html |
Re: 2007 Si sedan prize You realize to run 12.5 in an FA5 you'll probably be spending well over $10k |

Re: 2007 Si sedan prize The problem you're going to keep running into is that the Fa5 is so heavy. A good suspension, slicks and a full race turbo kit would be enough to hit your goals though, I think. |
Re: 2007 Si sedan prize go to hondata.com and look around there...there is a lot of info on what they have and what you will need to do... |
Re: 2007 Si sedan prize ok thx... but any suggestions on what i can do next before turbo? or shouldi just get turbo already |
Re: 2007 Si sedan prize Whatever you want man, it's your car...we just told you everything you have to do for what you want, so do it in the order you want to...just know, without a programmable computer (KPro), you are going to do a lot of this :russian::yell: and then you will be back on here asking WTF is wrong with my car? After reading this, it really sounds like I am being a dick, but I swear I'm not trying too...It's just exactly what happened to me... don't forget man :gotsearch: |
