Decided to grow up and get a new car. Picked up an LX hatch turbo with the CVT. Newest car I've ever owned by nineteen years. It's been awhile since I've had a turbo car, so I still need to get used to lag. But I already love it. Unfortunately it rained the first night I had it, so it's already dirty. Does anyone know what kind of pressure the turbo puts out?
Forgot that my fiancé is modeling in that picture. I suppose I need an updated username.
It's a TD03 framed Mitsubishi turbocharger that makes about 24lbs/min, and makes about 12psi of boost pressure. It won't make more than about 210whp.
Grats on the new car.
There are civic x's making 260hp on the stock turbo, so far.
The lag you are getting is not turbo lag. Its programmed in to protect the CVT. The car has full boost at 1800 rpm. Its irritating, i know. A Hondata reflash will get rid of this lag.

Yes. the 260hp is on the SI. It uses a slightly different compressor/exhaust wheel combination capable of about of a little more than 27lbs/min. (When "Flashed")
