Civic w/ boosted D series - dyno

[4dmin]

One of the guys i work with dyno'd his scca car this weekend... i thought the torque was pretty killer for the setup... shit loads of torque for a hondoh! it is a civic w/ d series using eclipse turbo and dsm intercooler. i am not a hondoh! guy but man for the price this seems to be far better setup then going w/ b series.

[ksniperfox]

im assuming the small eclipse turbo is spooling extremely quickly, giving all that low end torque. top end...eh...

good numbers though! should be a fun car

[Sammich]

DANG...IS THE D-SERIES HE HAS VTEC?

[j0nbunklah0m]

now put one of those set ups on a b-series lol

[ksniperfox]

ps- if you look hard enough, you can get/create really inexpensive D series turbo kits.

crx/hf manifold-30 bux lol.
cheap used turbo-not much.
the rest is just piping and a tune.

By "eclipse turbo and dsm intercooler" do you mean he is using the stock little t25 or 14b and stock side mount intercooler?

either way, if he is using one of the above he put down very good numbers for what it is.

yes/yes

lol @ "torque"

Yeah, I've always been a fan of turbo single cams. For the cost, not much can beat them.

fan of sohc too. been running my non-vtec sohc for going on 6 years stock internals. made 200+whp/200+wtq most of it's boosted life. it now makes upwards of 250whp/230wtq stock internals (it's days may be numbered at that power level though). it's seen a few trips to 17psi which would put it around 270-280whp, but no dyno verification on that one.

wastegate 9psi, low boost 10psi, high boost 14psi...didn't spend a lot of time on the boost control settings they kept bouncing 1psi on the boost control (can't feel it on the street).

I remember when you first boosted your Civic back in the days... This was at the old Fuddrucker meets in Alpharetta..

what kind of setup do you have thats making those numbers?

[scttydb411]

when it was making just over 200whp it was on junk-yard setup:
d16y7 w/ y8 im
13t from wrx (internal wg)
std/hf manifold w/ adapter plate
starion fmic
dsm 450cc inj
dsm bov
tuned w/ crome

the dyno sheet posted set up is:
d16y7 w/ y8 im
gt25r
log manifold
turbonetics wg
jrc fmic
dsm 550cc inj
dsm bov
hondata s300

it still has ghetto charge pipes that have 11ty billion silicone couplers...will fix that when i drop the built d-series in.

Nice numbers!

I'm the guy Paul posted about. It's going to get more power at some point, but not on stock internals. I'm going to put a bit of time in on this setup (high CR, low boost) verifying that it is indeed what I want for autox, and assuming it proves itself, I'll build a bottom end with a block guard, SRP pistons, and Eagle rods. That should be a 400 HP bottom end, though I would never turn it up that high for autox as that would just be a quick way to turn $250 a piece Hoosiers into expensive smoke. Still, I suspect that with some suspension tuning I should be able to make use of another 75 - 100 HP.
