So I have a 5spd 98 hatchback civic with a b16a2 I just swapped into it. It has the following mods, CAI, aftermarket TB, Skunk2 pro series intake manifold, skunk2 stg1 tuner cams, ebay header, yonaka catback, OBD1 ecu chipped. So how much power do ya'll think this motor is pushing ballpark? Then I already have 550cc injectors and a fuelpump I was thinking of buying a CX racing turbo and run 8psi how much power do you guys think I should make with the turbo at 8psi? Thanks.

 

 

Without knowing specs like the health of the motor, ambient air temp, and size of the turbo, I'd say at least 12.

 

*unfolds napkin. turns over to back side*

wikipedia says 160
ebay suggests +14 for header install... 174
skunk2 says "more hp than competitor manifold"... 176
cams say "10-15" increase... 191
fuel injector clinic says max 314 with those injectors

but DumpdEJ6 is probably a closer guess. an easy 12

 

See even eghatch is feelin it. No wonder grumblemarc was grouchy.

 

depends on how many stickers you have. Heard that a Precision Turbo (PTE) one will add close to 22HP.

$5 bucks says you will sell it next month for $8K...."too much to list, DON'T LOWBALL ME. I know what I have."

 

You named off a bunch of parts but did not mention a tune.

Are you throwing a ton of parts at it but not changing the engine management? If so, it's going to stay right around stock power output but run worse.

And a kind FYI, butt dyno threads are not really appreciated or desirable in this forum. This thread is bordering on butt dyno territory and could be closed unexpectedly.

 

magic 8 ball says; concentrate and ask again...

 

Well I had a guy burn a chip for me and it seems to be ruining awesome. Dont want to dyno tune till it gets turboed.

 

You can pay to have your car dyno'd but not tuned for a small fee (unlike dyno tuning large fee) and they will give you logs of the (usually) 3 pulls.

This will tell you what your car is doing with your current base map untuned chipped setup.

 

Was this a freudian slip ???

Once you have installed your turbo kit and TUNED it, it is likely that you will make between 260 and 280 wheel HP... on a DynoJet.

 

That is good enough for me that be perfect.

 

TUNED implies actually taking the car to a TUNER, not burning random chips and tossing them at it.

 

To be fair, he did say he doesn't want to tune it until the turbo is installed. This implies he's actually going to pay to have it dyno tuned.

 

Right on!!!

 

To be fair to everyone else expressing concern to you..... Running untuned with a base map isn't the best thing for the engine. If you are driving it hard (we all assume you probably are) you could be causing premature wear and reducing the final output of the engine once you get it complete and tuned.

Base maps (your chip) is supposed to be used as a starting point for tuning and not run indefinitely.
