Hey Everyone. I know there is a lot of people out there that want more information on how far they can push their CVT model civics but there is not a lot of people that have shared hard results yet so I just wanted to share my current results and also shed light on to what the end goal is for my car. I am hoping I can help other people that are looking to push there 1.5L CVT and find how far they can go is. Currently I am running a Hondata Race Flash Pro with the 6+ PSI w/ Flex Fuel running full e85 for the majority of the time that I have had the conversion kit. I also have a Boomba racing BOV but I do not believe that adds anything but cool noises and less of a chance for boost leak. This is my daily and i have driven 8k+ miles on this setup and I have yet to have any issues. I am not the most aggressive driver in the world but i do get on the throttle pretty hard and I have taken the car to the drag strip multiple times on this setup and the car is still running great. I really wanted to see what the car was pushing to the wheel so i took it to the dyno and I was very happy with the results. 226whp 242lb/ft is pretty good and was were i was expecting to be. For the future of the car I want to get it to 300whp and leave the torque were it is at for obvious reasons or maybe even tune down the torque a little. I have a PRL CAI, PRL IC w/ piping, and a PRL FP/DP Combo all ordered and should be installed by the end of July. At that point I am going back to the dyno and am going to push for the 300 number. I might order the W1 Turbo to help keep the PSI down and the horsepower up as well as do a full 3in custom exhaust to help alleviate back pressure and keep the power in the high end. I am a little nervous about this endeavor but I believe it is possible to do reliably as long as the torque is kept down. Here is some pictures/videos of the results. I will give an update once i am FBO and I take it back to the dyno to get tuned. I hope I am able to shed some light and actual results for cvt owners instead of the "go trade it in for an si/manual" responses we usually get. If there is anyone who is making more power than me on their cvt and have dyno results feel free to share because i have not found anyone with results take their CVT this far. I also want to mention again no tuning was done on the dyno I was just getting a baseline for when I go FBO. I am just on hondata +6 PSI and full E85.
