calculating hp?
WHAT UP EVERYONE? I WAS JUST WONDERING IF THERE IS A SITE THAT CAN CALCULATE HOW MUCH HP MY CIVIC IS PUSHING. MY MODS ARE AS FOLLOW:
2 3/4 PIPING
DC HEADERS
TANABE EXHAUST
VENOM 400 PERFORMANCE CHIP
STAGE 2 CLUTCH
PORT AND POLISHED 3 ANGLE VALVE JOB
8.5 MM SPARK PLUG WIRES.
IF I ADD ALL OF THIS LIKE IT SAYS I SHOULD BE HITTING AROUND 165-170HP. HELP ME OUT PEOPLE

Re: calculating hp? (SOHC_MShue)
Someone might be able to give a guess if we knew what motor you have. Otherwise, go to the dyno as stated.
Also, don't write in all caps, ITS ANNOYING AS HELL.

wow sorry, but you're most likely WAY off. just to venture a guess i'd agree with others and say that, at the wheels, you're somewhere in the 120 range + or - 5. at the flywheel, it's usually around 15-20% more than the wheels so roughly 15-25hp more. but there are so many lurking variables when you consider this, the only way to know with any level of confidence is to see the dyno.
i don't know anything about that venom chip, so you could be pushing 500 for all i know.

Re: calculating hp? (SIC_WIT_IT)
i wasnt aware that civic's PUSH hp...im guessing your stage 2 clutch adds maybe 30hp alone 
...and headers???...plural???...you got a v6 or v8 in that bad boy???
either dyno it or find somone with a similar set up and see what they are at for a rough guestimate.

i honestly hate when people go out of their way to sound so smart. no, a clutch
does not add power, but we all know that. and the whole header, headers thing,
i'm sick of people correcting that. it's not a big deal, you know what they mean.
trying to look like you know stuff makes you look like a tool.
BTW: SIC_WIT_IT, i've got an LS and i bet you can't keep up with me!

needed to type it all in caps eh?....awesome....
youre probably only keeping up with the ls because of the clutch grabbing harder
go to a dyno, because otherwise Im going to have to say 40million whp

id venture to say that you are wrong my friend. there are numerous users on this board putting out a little above 120 whp in d16 sohc vtecs with just bolt ons.
- to the creator of this thread- imma say 120 or so hp. put a cam in that biatch and you could see close to 130 or so cause of your headwork. ps. ditch that 2 3/4 piping and get 2 1/4, you need the backpressure
