...Less lag. Better throttle response. An real fun, I bump it up to Map 3 and get a lot more throw you back in the seat power. A gain of about 36 whp and 70 lb/ft over Map 1.
If you're on the fence about tuning just know that once you tune you'll wonder why you waited. What I described above is...
...point.
Recently went down to 27Won to let them use my car for an R&D project and got some Hub Dyno results on my current set up as well. 331 WHP on 91 Octane with E30. The HP Fuel Pump is indeed the bottleneck at this point in the journey. Also picked up a Honda Performance Development...
...from a 2006 Scion TC so this was beyond what I expected.Phearable 2.5 changed how I overall drove the car, started to be more cautious as the WHP got higher and got myself an ACT clutch before slipping would start. Vargas GC + OTS tune has been amazing , it drives smooth as could be and I...
...For example, look at the hp number for map 3. It's showing at 4600 rpm. That's way below the actual power peak. Also most dynos I know of show whp not crank numbers. Sorry to say but that dyno is kind of meaningless.
Also you have to have a model with paddles and need to do the pedal dance...
...the better response and power, merging and avoiding dicey situations in traffic is much improved. Literally
Tune experience notes: dynoed at 176 WHP 148WTQ. Car can race against 1.5t civics without a tune and can win on a dig depending on launch. Loses on a roll race after 95-100mph. By...
Not sure on power, probably only around 220-230 WHP cause TSP claims 219WHP but have a mishimoto intake as well. Shouldn’t be much more since it’s not a custom.
...add full bolt ons and have your tuner push max power, there will be some failures. That doesn't make it a garbage engine.
The fact that some people are reliably seeing 300+whp on an economy engine the size of a large soda bottle is super impressive to me.
People need to stop hating on the...
Big turbo like rv6 or w2 on 91/93 with the right tuner will make 280-300 whp. I would still do headstuds. I had arp studs my head still lifted but I’m pushing 350whp 330 ft lbs torque with my garret 2867. Twostep performance stud kit is a newer kit for our engines. I’ll be running that kit on my...
...and powerful now. While fine tuning the BBG/traction did click off a [email protected] and had the car weighed right after to 3285lbs w/ driver which calculates around 360 whp. Car is a little slower off the line compared to the faster Civic CVTs out there, but still really content at this point.
