Also need new injectors, no?The BIG news is that it comes with a higher flow fuel pump!
I believe the stock injectors still have a little room to work withAlso need new injectors, no?
I am very sorry guys, I was joking and thought it would be conveyed as such but it COULD be true.Also need new injectors, no?
They have plenty of room left to work with.I believe the stock injectors still have a little room to work with
Yeah I just didn't want to overstate it in my wording, lolThey have plenty of room left to work with.
Gotcha!Yeah I just wanted to overstate it in my wording, lol
Yup.. In short... A whole new turbo. (With a few extra goodies) I really wonder what they are tho..I pmed PRL and they said it will be a whole new turbo
Hi Gforce81.. The quote about running 470lbft torque for 18 months etc - was it Hondata that sent that to you?Reading through some threads, i found where I think folks are getting this from and that's here: https://www.civicx.com/threads/prl-...e-r-drop-in-turbocharger-upgrade.39462/page-2
PRL is essentially suggesting in order to get to the powers your talking about you need a built motor.
Thoughts?
Hondata mentioned that in their thread they created about the fuel kit.Hi Gforce81.. The quote about running 470lbft torque for 18 months etc - was it Hondata that sent that to you?
Thanks!
Lol! At least with a bigger turbo you will tax the fuel pump less while making more power than the stock one.The BIG news is that it comes with a higher flow fuel pump!
Fuel demand is dependent on power and lambda. Turbo efficiency doesn't really come into it.Lol! At least with a bigger turbo you will tax the fuel pump less while making more power than the stock one.
Ohh, right. A bigger turbo at the same psi would bump up the cfm and require more fuel. Just if you were to run less boost than the stock unit you could be able to make the same power more efficiently/coolerFuel demand is dependent on power and lambda. Turbo efficiency doesn't really come into it.
What aboutFor those wanting to know the numbers. You won't be getting 500hp on flex or pump or a stock turbo. It's race fuel. 428 is what you get on flex. You're not getting over 400tq on this motor without flex. It's not possible.
"Up until now, FK8 owners had the following options or migration paths to improving performance of the K20C1 engine:
(Definition: FBOs = full bolt-ons)
Option 1) FBOs + Hondata
370 hp & 400 lbs-ft
Option 2) Flex fuel + Hondata
386 hp & 412 lbs-ft
Option 3) Flex fuel + FBOs + Hondata
389 hp & 421 lbs-ft
With today's announcement, new options or paths have been added:
Option 4) Flex fuel + FBOs + Fuel pump + Hondata
428 hp & 470 lbs-ft
Option 5) Race fuel + FBOs + Fuel pump + Bigger turbo + Hondata
506 hp & 461 lbs-ft
All the above have been tested by Hondata with a stock K20C1 engine with their R&D FK8 for nearly 12 months. We are happy to see this unique solution coming from the leading FK8 tuning solution provider, Hondata, and will provide more info in the weeks ahead as we continue to learn more about it. In the meantime, it's great to see the company pushing forward with innovative solutions and continue to make investments in offerings for the FK8 platform."
