Ok so i dont really know if anyone cares but this is what i have done:
*arias pistons 11.5:1 comp bored .020 over
*probe i beam rods
*Arp Headstuds
*KMS Stainless flat face valves
*KMS high rate valvesprings
*KMS Titanium Retainers
*ACL rod and main bearings
*AEM Cam gear
*MIld port and Polish
*PasswordJDM kevlar intake
*Unorthodox Underdrive Pulley
*Apexi Full Exhaust 2.5"
*Apexi Neo Fuel Controlelr
*Spec Stage 2 Clutch
*Fidanza Flywheel

But anyway I am at work right now so i can put up the dyno but my best pull was a
118.22 whp and 111.99 ft lbs of torque... Would you say that is ok and this is all on a stock ecu and they tuned the air/fuel by my apexi neo...but what do yall think about this?

Redprelude98

anyone want to give me feedback? i just want to know if anyone thinks i should've made more or what or less?

batallic

use hondata, ectune, u might get a bit more

Redprelude98

yeah i am going to but i just dont have the extra cash right now...but yeah that is a definite next thing i am going to do

Redprelude98

my thing is that i am going to get a cam sometime in the near future and i am just going to wait until then before i actually get an ecu and have it tuned because i actually have a p28 sitting in my room but it is just waiting to get socketed and chipped until my cam and i am going to get a zex cam or a crower stage 2

Stock cam and ecu? Seems pretty good, although I'm no expert by any means. Get a cam and a tune you should pick up a good +15whp probably. Hows it drive as of now??

Redprelude98

it drives really good since they tuned it because it was running really really rich when i took it to the shop and like i was going through spark plugs weekly but they told me with a cam and tune i should expect atleast 20 whp and who knows in torque but eventually i even want to put like maybe a 75 shot of nitrous but that will be later on down the road too.

Those are impressive numbers for sure.

joelmatt89

What kind of mileage were your getting when you were going through spark plugs weekly i am getting 15mpg right know and haven't needed a new pair of spark plugs in about 2 months.

Redprelude98

well i was getting around 32 but they started misfiring horrible and i pulled them and they were black as **** and just fried, i put some in and drove like 5 miles and checked them just to see and they looked as if they had been in there for like 50000 miles, well maybe exagerrating a little there but they looked horrible

hmoobhero

man, all that work and money on a sohc vtec? not my style, could of got a dohc vtec with that money and it would be way faster, but its your car and money so good luck on your build. or could have gone turbo.

PhA53

so lame/ u coulda got a dohc cam. loser. single cams are the way to go.

sirt_eg

slap some nice cams and a good tune and you should be be eating dohc for breakfast. nice build and power. thumbs up for a sohc.

IP RACING

sirt-eg . he cant slap in some cams*. he can slap In A cam and tune since after all he does have a SOHC. pretty good numbers but will def look a lot better with a new cam and tune

TravisCadello

Seems Ok, I would expect more for as much as you've done to it and put into it. all that you should be at least 140whp. But i don't know much about numbers. how much extra would you say you picked up at the crank from stock?

Redprelude98

yeah well when i bought the car it had the neo in it and i am going to sell that to a buddy for like $350 and then i am going to buy a crower stage 2 cam and get my p28 that i have at my house chipped and tuned by a local place here in town and hope that it doesnt cost anymore than like 500 or 600, but yeah then i will definately be able to tell a difference because they were talking like just with puttin in a cam i would gain like another 20 whp...and to tell you the truth i can fell a difference between now and stock but i have no idea how much i picked up at the crank because i really dont care that much all i care about is what i pick up at the wheel

And now everyone can see why the D-series is a waste of money without a turbo

Schister66

Its all a matter of preference, but sadly i must agree

Redprelude98

yes you know i agree and it is my car and i am thinking about possibly going with boost even though it is high compression just running low boost and getting it tuned on E85, but idk i have to talk to the people that own Abel Racing

Schister66

You can turbo it with that compression, but you'll have to be careful when building the setup. It will be much easier to do since you have access to E85. Boosted high-comp D series would be a pretty fun setup if you do it correctly

Redprelude98

but i might just do a 75 shot of nitrous instead even though not very many people like it but it is easy and cheap hp if done right on the right tune, but i am just kind of scared because of the stories i have heard of

Redprelude98

yeah Abel racing said that i could do it and idk because they were talking about if i used E85 then i should boost it to like 20 psi but that is a lot and scary

Redprelude98

and by the way abel racing is a place that is here in the city where i live and they are pretty known at like Import Face off and stuff like that around here.....http://www.abelracing.com/

Schister66

If they're telling you that you can run "like 20psi" then i would go elsewhere. When someone gives you goals or power potential based on boost pressure, you can assume they don't really know what they're talking about. If you dont believe me, go to the FI forum and ask how much boost you can run on your setup...you will be shunned within minutes
