who out there has turbocharged Si's or B16A hybrids out there ?
i wanna see some pics...plan on getting Turbo VERY soon !

 

How many times have I posted this in the last week???

 

that is the most beautiful picture i have ever seen. (shed's a tear)
i can't wait tell mine looks like that.. but it will be a L O N G time...

 

what do you run with that on the 1/4? how much boost.. any internals..

 

That is so NICE!!! I am also curious about other mods, and quarter times...Thanks!!

 

thats still beautiful no matter how many times drag. now
GET TO THE TRACK!! well after everythings broken in.
i want 1/4 times too. thats probably what ill be running when i get mine (end of summer)

 

offtopic, but what kind of strut bar is that on the EK???
looks pretty big......

 

 

B16A/stock internals:

 

Hehe... light meter... blinded by shiny valve cover! Can't see... must... go... on...

 

Sorry, here's a better pic...

 

very nice

Stock internals, Hondata ECU, 440 injectors, holly 255lph fuel pump....other than that, it's a stock DRAG III kit....I'm running 9-11psi, and expect high 12s in the quarter...but it will be a while...I'm still breaking in the clutch, and have lots of dyno tuning ahead of me

 

off topic: but I thought you could run the stock fuel pump with the hondata.

 

you can run stock fuel pump with hondate providied you have everything setup correctly.

 

I'll have pics this spring, but you'll have to wait till then!

 

When you mention correct setup, would aem fuel rail, fuel pressure regulator, and rc 550's and wideband dyno tuning constitute correct setup?

 

these are some nice pics and turbos...that valve cover is MAD banging.did yoo do that yoorself ?

 

sounds okay to me.
the stock fuel pump really can't supply enough fuel for 440cc injectors over 55psi of fuel pressure.

I went to the dyno with 440s and stock pump. When we tried going at 10psi, the fuel pressure would first go up to 60psi when hitting full boost (50psi static pressure with AEM regulator) but as the revs rised, the fuel pressure would drop down to 55psi. I was close to 85% injectory duty cycle at redline as well.

so lesson learned here is that the stock fuel pump + 440s limits you to around 8-9psi (230whp) on a Civic Si with a greddy it. Possibly less boost with a bigger turbo, depending on air flow.

with 550s i honestly don't know how well the stock pump can supply the fuel. you'd either have to calculate how much fuel you'll be using, or you'd have to try it out and see if it works.

 

I was in the process of doing it myself, then I came across a guy that wanted to swap my stock along with $140. He gave me the valve cover, wire cover, and oil cap and Neuspeed strut bar(which I sold for $70). Ended up only costing me $70 out of pocket. The secret to a shiny valve cover is using RUGE and TRIPOLE along with a polishing compound and lots of elbow grease.

 

DAYUM!

didnt know chrome would look so sweet!!!
it goes awesome with the tial!
nice engine bay!

why does the intake pipe come up at such a funny angle

Damn, so I may need the holly low pressure high flow intank fuel pump? Anyone have any idea how much this may cost me? The block is built except for sleeves (damn I should have got 'em) so I plan on boosting to around 13 lbs.

 

if you want a walbro (which is what i have) go to http://www.autoperformanceengineering.com .. it's like $90 or so, the guy had it in stock so i got it in like 4 days

I'll bet you guys were all wondering when my over posted infamous pics would be put up here...
