AR_96

Hey all, I bought a '96 civic ex around 5 months ago for a cheaper dd compared to my lifted '13 tacoma. Well it didn't last long before I had the idea of making a little more power but also keep my ac and ps so then I started picking up parts for a d series turbo build. My part list is below.

Engine

75.5 vitara pistons
Custom lenght I-beam rods
Stock head
Arp head studs
Golden eagle cam gear
Ngk plug wires
Gates timing belt
Xtd stage 4 6 puck
Short throw shifte
8lb flywheel
Arp flywheel bolts
FIC 650cc injectors
Walbro 255 fuel pump
Omnipower 4 bar map
Ebay vacuum manifold

Turbo kit

Go-Autoworks turbo kit
Cast manifold to keep ac and ps
2.5" open downpipe
Turbonetics t3 super 60
Tial Q 50mm bov
Tial 38mm mvs wastegate
Autoworks IC piping
Autoworks FMIC
Turbosmart MBC
Innovative Motorsports wideband
Speedhut boost gauge
Speedhut oil pressure gauge

I'm sure I left some things out but that's what I can think of off top of my head.
Car was tuned by Howard at RLZ engineering on neptune at 17lbs and made 293whp and 240ft lbs on a dynapack dyno. Greg at Go-autoworks was great to deal with and was there to answer any questions I had and always offered great advice. I high recommend his kit as well as RLZ engineering for work or tuning if anyone is within a few hours of charolette, NC area.

That's a pretty peaky torque line. Do you have an LSD anywhere in your build? You should look into one.

underrated

How come you stopped at 17psi?

Also what type of fuel was this tuned on?

I like how you wanted a "lil" more power lol!

Jesus! Look at the torque line!

nice job!

greg is the man. hopefully he stays in the honda community

That powerband looks like it would suck to daily...

AR_96

That will be one of my next big purchases.

Well I was going fr 15psi but it hit like 17.6 or something so we just left it. After head work and maybe a bisi 2.4 we'll see what 22-24 will do.

Yeah a slight improvement over stock haha

Thanks I appreciate it!!

AR_96

It's not as bad as you would think. It actually does pretty good except for trying to pull steep *** hills out of boost

thats sick man! Bet thqt open down pipe is loud as **** haha

Seems to be quite laggy for such a small turbo... Makes power slower than my STC GT35. Seems like something isn't right.

Nice build though!! Congrats!

AR_96

Yeah it get annoying after a while. I'm gonna order a 2.5" downpipe that comes out of the front bumper from Go-autoworks in the near future.
What compression is your motor? And thanks man

Somewhere around 9:1. Maybe a touch higher. Assumed you were about the same with those custom length rods.

I was thinking the same as it looks similar to an old school nitrous curve.
It looks like it would feel like a stock engine if you stay under 4500.
Seems a bit early to be shifting, but it looks possible to do so and just stay out of boost for normal daily driving.
With passengers - hold the accelerator at 4500, look over at your passenger and tell them to hold on for their life, and then gun it!

The scaling on that graph is goofy...i dont like it.

Also, I would have thought a tiny little super 60 would have spooled much sooner than this.

OP: What is the compression ratio? I might have missed it...

boosted94gsr

X2 I don't like it when a graph is scaled like that. Torque and HP should be scaled equally, it makes it easier to see what the actually power band would be like.

Op looks like a solid build though. Good job.

Glad I'm not the only one to notice this.
