Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls... It has been done!

I recently decided to stop wasting time waiting for K-Pro, I-Pro, "Stage 2", etc. and went ahead and did my own thing and increased boost levels on my car.

Initial Mods -- CTSC Stage 1
Comptech Supercharger Kit
* 3.6" pulley (4-5 psi peak)
* Ghetto crushed FPR modification
* Stock injectors
* Comptech provided spark plugs
* 82.5" 7rib Goodyear Gatorback Belt

Hondata/Comptech reflash
* VTEC drops to 3000 rpm with a VTEC window to 5800 rpm
* Ignition retarded
* Cam angle advanced
* Air fuel ratio richened

Hondata Intake Manifold Gasket
AEM Cold Air Intake
SSR 4-2-1 Race Header w/ Test Pipe
GReddy EVO2 Exhaust
Shell V-Power 91 Octane
Mobile 1 5w30

Resulting in 251.6hp/164.1tq to the WHEELS (corrected for altitude) @ 4psi

==================================================

Upgrade Mods -- COMplex Stage X
Swapped out the original 3.6" pulley for a 3.2" PulleyBoys pulley
Swapped out the original 82.5" belt for an 81" Goodyear Gatorback belt
Swapped out the original injectors for RC Engineering 650cc saturated injectors w/ clips
Installed the AEM F/IC (Fuel & Ignition controller) using the Boomslang harness

Resulting in 272hp/181.3tq to the WHEELS (corrected for altitude) @ 6psi


==================================================
I brought my car to Tobi @ TC Performance in Arvada, CO since he is the ONLY local tuner that I trust to tune my car, and has experience tuning with the F/IC.

Tobi wants to perform some more fine tuning on the street to get rid of a small hiccup at the VTEC changeover. I will probably wait because I am preparing to increase boost yet again. (8-9psi / 3" pulley)

I may even have to bust out my trusty video camera to update my age old YouTube videos.

Much love and thanks to Tai and Remy @ CorSport, Tobi @ TC Performance, and Greg @ Redshift for motivating me to even try all this.



Updates 7/1/2009: 3.0" pulley installed, waiting on FlashPro, Fuel Pump, and tuning for e85!

 

good stuff man. great numbers especially for only 6lbs

 

nice numbers.

when you plan on going up to 8-9 psi, do you polan on going to meth injection/intercooler? what kind of numbers do you expect to get at 8-9psi?

 

VERY VERY SWEET. No what if that thing was a sleeper

would you mind revealing what everything cost as well?

Altleast give us a total figure?

 

where is the video !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Initially, probably not. Whenever some form of intercooler is manufactured, I will likely add it. I may not need it at all yet.

3.2" PulleyBoys pulley - $89 (free shipping)
81" Goodyear Gatorback belt - $44
RC Engineering 650cc saturated injectors w/ clips - $360
AEM F/IC (Fuel & Ignition controller) - $250 (retail is closer to $400)
Boomslang Harness - $400
---
So all in all, about $1150 + $600 for the tune. But the FIC, Harness, and Injectors leave room for much higher gains. So, another $90 pulley and $300 tune session will probably get me another 20whp.

So, $2100 for another 40whp over the 80whp provided by the supercharger & SSR header.

 

sounds good. looks like you'll be putting down some good numbers

keep us updated.

Yes

 

Sick

You need a new video ASAP. Not some dyno video either, I wanna see it on the track/street.

 

glad you brought the AEM unit to my attention. i had no idea it existed.

a litte more boost and i see your car hitting the 300 mark.

 

I've been admiring this car for a long, long time.

If you're ever on I-80 coming East let me know, I'd love to see the car in person.

 

Nice work Complex. I am still waiting for the Hondata product to come out. You having any problems with detonation?

I am dieing to kick up the boost in my supercharger but am afraid I am going to screw something up without proper fuel tuning. On the same note, I am getting really tired of waiting for Hondata to produce something.

If after a while, you still don't have any problems, I just might have to follow your lead.

 

hmm well i figured since its a hi comp motor the boost wasnt good for it, or u can boost but u have to boost real low psi.. but then again.. the stock k series can hold 42 psi lol

 

videos!!!!!!!

 

sweet post videos of that beast

 

still waiting on the video

 

Boost is good

 

Hey where did you buy your FIC and boomslang harness?
Did you in any way splice your stock harness?
I wanna buy the AEM unit, but the guy i was going to make tune it said he would have to splice my stock harness to connect it.

42 psi....as in the cylinder walls? because i doubt your rods would hold that much so this info seems very misleading...

Call CorSport (http://www.CorSportUSA.com) for the FIC, and the Boomslang harness can be purchased from Boomslang Fabrication (http://www.boomslang.us/aemfic.htm)

No splicing required with the Boomslang Harness.

 

thanks
