Dear friends i have a 02 civic ex with a garrett T-22(15psi) motek exhaust (3") garrett headers K&N CAI Turbo management system Vetc AFC system and an engine that has port and polished heads a hypertec stage two chip it has the prerace labtop program with three usb ports in the cup holder and its pushing 265 on a good day with a stock motor, i cant get it to go any faster and im not into the whole engine swapping crap. Mostly because im poor need advice on how to make it faster or should i finally lay it to rest and start on my rx-8 the motor on the civic only has 103000 miles so i dont know what to do, im not really a tuner im a diagnostic specialist for a major parts company. They had no helpful ideas but to burn it. Need Help.

So you have a Turbo AND a K&N Cold air?
You have more than ONE cylinder head?
You have 2 HEADERS on a turbo 4 cylinder?
3 Different fuel/engine management programs?

AND pushing 265 WHP on a STOCK bottom end

BULLSHIT

None of that makes sense dude....

 

Forgive me for miss typing and adding an s on headers and yes i do have three fuel mangement systems all piggy back onto each other one it does make sense and yes i do have a k and n air filter with a turbo and intercooler set up ase certified then you should have know that it made sense

Well... first you said it was a K&N cold air intake... that it totally different than a filter on the inlet of the turbo...

And I PERSONALLY have never seen THAT MANY EMS's piggybacked... I could be TOTALLY WRONG... but that is just personal experience.

 

The K&N on the turbo makes sense, but I don't see why you need a turbo management system plus a VAFC, but I'm not here to call you a liar. If you want more power build the bottom end and add more boost. I don't know anything abou the GT22, but it sounds QUITE small so I'm sure it won't be able to push much more than that so if you build the bottom end I would upgrade that. NOW, I don't see how a 130hp motor with 103K on it pushing 265hp is still alive, but maybe you just never rev past 4K rpms.

 

how do i put pics on this thing
so i show you but dont look at the mess

 

You need to retake 2nd grade reading and writing.

 

and yes i very rarley race it or push it past 4500 rpms

 

Please post a dyno graph with #'s to the wheel.

Ur thread is pointless.

I dont care about pics, any1 can google a turbo'd d17.

U have said about 5 things that are DEAD wrong in ur post, and proved to EVERYONE that u have no idea what ur talking about.

U probably paid some shop to boost ur engine, and they raped u in price then lied to u in performance.

Also, Please go to a dragstrip and race it, i would love to see a 265whp civic run 15's.

 

so you is pushing massive power to front wheels with 3 USB at 15psi using hypertec stage 2 chip in laptop program with Vetc AFC system with garrett headers? you is are the man!

 

You D17 guys is crazy.

 

Motek exhaust huh? Watching a bit too much Fast and the Furious I see...

 

nice setup bro. you have to have the pics hosted on another page like photobucket or imageshack.us and link to them here for us to see

 

if I had an rx-8 motor, I wouldn't of wasted my time on the d17 to begin with.

 

id rather keep my d17 and have a RELIABLE motor and GOOD gas mileage than a wankle

Some like to be bold.

 

im confused, is this a car your talking about or a time machine?

 

I would keep the d17 too, but in his case where he is placing the assumption that he has a d17 and a 13b, I would work on the 13b, and drive the d17 daily.
