98 Civic Ex with forged eagle rods and pistons. Block girddle.
Unknown turbo putting out ~11psi.
Spearco intercooler
450cc injectors
VAFC Hack

Gteched it and its best was a low 16, keep in mind thats at about 4500ft ASL. Shouldn't it be faster than that?

well we used a G-tech and thats what it got. Low 16's.

It hasn't been tuned with a WBO2 and I think maybe thats where the power is hidden?

i would think you would hit atleast low 15s, atleast. I see edelbrock turbo'd EXs at the track hitting 15 flat all day. But that is with a complete edelbrock turbo setup.

You should give me your forged rods/pistons for free because I will put them to good use.

No doubt... that's a lot of money for 16 sec on 11psi... there must be something wrong...

Get that thing tuned!

Yeah, just some black soot from the tailpipe. (rich) Idles fine. Runs all the way up to 7k easily.

By the sounds of it, it should run ALOT better than it does. I think AEM EMS and tuning are on the way.
