Seriously considering selling my si for a new 86. Only things holding me back are my high mileage(highway commute) and extensive mods (clutch, front bumper mesh cut)
Also would like to add most pulls I do on the street are 2-3rd gear pulls, not often do I do hard pulls in 4th. Track days are hard pulls across all gears. Mostly noting cause I believe 4th is the one to usually break
Yearly update!! (3rd update I think)
Vehicle: 2017 Si sedan
Total tuned time: 4 years
Total tuned mileage: 80,000
Tuning device(s) used: KTuner v1.2

Fuel used: 93(76, mobile or shell) and E30-35 blends...
I bought my w1 second hand here on the forums. Original owner had it for 1.5 years and put 8k miles on it. I’ve had it for 7 months put over 10k miles and 3 track days in south Florida heat. Custom tuned by drob as soon as I installed the turbo. Just adding my personal experience.

4 months and 10k miles. I was fbo e40 for over a year before that too so I’m pretty sure my block is good at these power levels(under 350 tq/whp) I change every 5k miles so a change is actually do before I drive her again
So after 3 years and 80k miles of daily driving the civic is no longer a daily! First track day scheduled at PBIR on the 23rd, and I should be able to hit a drag strip before that. Pretty torn between building my block or just pushing the stock block for as long as possible. If anyone in south...
So it’s 2am my time and I’ve had one long day, so I’m sorry if I missed something but aren’t those numbers incredibly low? Haven’t people made more power with this turbo way below 32psi without built block or fuel upgrades?
happy new year!! Not sure if anyone has tested that, once you upgrade stock turbo is when I would guess you’d see a real difference in power. But how much of a difference, no idea. A lot of people say stock intake flows very well with a filter and pipe(stage 1 PRL kit). Maybe dyno tune without...
