Default Base Dyno with basic mods

The first base dyno with I/H/E (that I know of) is out. If someone will host, I'll upload.

149 hp at roughly 6500-6700 rpm
133 lb/ft torque at ~4300 rpm

The weather conditions were 85 degrees and 95% humidity. The guy who owns the car (not mine) said that it was raining while they were dyno'ing, so I don't think conditions were exactly favorable. There should be a few whp gain on a better day.

The impressive part of the graph is the torque curve. From roughly 3 - 6000 rpm, it's flat (ranges between 125-133). Very usuable torque (for a honda). Anyway, I like the way those results look.

I sent the file. Thanks for hosting.

I'm talking about the base RSX (not Type-S). The base usually dyno's around 135-140whp stock, and from this chart (as well as those from the new Si's) appears to get 150-155whp after I/H/E. The Type-S's usually dyno 170 stock, and most get 180whp with I/E.

That sounds high to me. The very reputable magazine Grassroots Motorsports dynoed a 2002 Civic Si (essentially the same engine as the Base RSX) and got 133hp as a baseline.

Search the web a little and you'll see multiple dyno's for the K20A3's (base RSX/Si engine) getting 135-140whp. There are also 3 dyno's of Si's (that I know of)getting 155-160whp with just bolt-ons. This base RSX owner who got this 149whp was disappointed by his run (probably caused by weather... his chart isn't compensated for weather). These engines are very bottle-necked stock. Basic bolt-on's yields 15-20whp easy. Search and ye shall find..
