Default just ordered peakboost ftw series!!!

I have a stock B18C in a ej8 and was wondering if anybody has ran this kit on their B18C and what kind of numbers are you pulling or what kind of times? I am getting the full peakboost ftw kit with 650cc injectors, 255 fuel pump, and hondata s300. I dont care if anyone has negative comments sned them my way if you want ha. but what does everyone think about this set-up?

yeah thanks guys im so stoked about getting my kit in. i got the 57 trim .63 ar turbo which i think will be good for my setup and for later building correct? I have seen and read where this kit puts down on average 20whp for every 1psi all i plan on running daily is 6-7psi which should put me around 270whp which i think should be safe on a stock motor correct? my tuner told me with the 57 trim it migth have a little lag at low end but he should be able to tune that out with the hondata.

does anyone know what is a safe psi or whp form my stock B18C? i think i should be fine with 6-7psi which would be around 270-290 whp...

thanks teg racer. 4200 should be a good spool point so that way i wont always be spooling wasting my gas ha.

they have it listed a stock gsr on 9.5psi was at 370whp if you have a stock gsr i would not recommend running 12psi ha. plus if you want to run that you know you have to get a 3 bar map? plus i wouldnt run 12psi because once you feel that power and love it you wont want to run low boost ha.

+2 Thanks for your service to our country!

That is a kit I have been looking at for a long time for my 2000 Si. Just make sure you get it tuned well and have fun. Of course post your results once everything is running and boosting

Blaze-- Thanks man. I will def. post my numbers and everything once i get everything going. it wont be until like mid june but it should be running great.

JDM-- I dont plan on boosting anything past 10psi for now but will in the future. I am going to stick with around 7psi until i get internals done.

Hey dude,
I'm in the British Army and am currently saving for a peakboost kit. I had 6 weeks off when I came back from Afghanistan last October.

I didn't realise you had to wait. I gather its as they make kits to order rather than have them on the shelf?

Yeah i actually think it is better they build to order and make the parts for what setup you have. ex mine B18C sir-g in a civic coupe with S2 IM. yes waiting sucks but like i said earlier i wont be here anyway.

To anyone that can answer.. Once i get my kit put on and everything is it safe to drive it to the tuner about 10 miles granny shifting or should i get it towed there?

You'll be fine.. You'll most likely need a base map to get you to the tuner's. As long as you don't go into boost you'll have absolutely nothing to worry about.

I myself get rather excited when I know parts are on the way. Not so much when they are first ordered but when I have the tracking number in hand its very exciting.
