My '20 Si sedan is my daily driver which I put about 200 mile a week of (mostly) highway miles on. Other than Michelin PS4S summer tires it is stock aside from a handful of tiny cosmetic mods like interior LEDs and 27WON shift knob. I plan to keep this car as my DD for a few years until EVs enter the full mainstream and hopefully Honda or Toyota steps into the game. Next Summer I plan to purchase a minty AP2 S2000 as it was (one of my) dream car when I was much younger. The Si, even stock, is fun to drive and very efficient, however......
My goal for a DD is to retain the efficiency while also modifying for more power and a power band that doesn't drop off above 5K like the stock configuration does. I've read a lot about the 27WON W1 Turbo and it seems an ideal fit for my goals. Again, I plan to buy a more raw sports car next year to have in the garage so I'm not looking to break records in my Si. 275-300whp would be PERFECT for my daily driver goals in a car that weighs 2900lbs! So, after some reading and lurking, here is my planned upgrade checklist that I'm looking to upgrade:
*Civic Type R clutch/flywheel retrofit - I know the stock clutch will crap the bed with an upgraded turbo power
*27WON Intake - I know the PRL makes a bit more power, but as a matter of preference I value the design of the 27WON unit and it's higher placement to avoid any potential hydrolock
*27WON Intercooler - obviously to contain heatsoak
*27WON W1 Turbo
*Custom Tuning
Unlike many here, I am not interested in a loud downpipes or really anything else that adds a lot of sound. In my younger years, yes.......now, not so much. Is the above set up with custom tuning for 93 octane a realistic plan for 275whp or so and a power curve that continues to climb unlike the stock one at 5K rpms?
