GSi/Vti-R/Type-R kw ratings???

[dudeling7]

haha sorry forgot to mention i also got it tuned with safc so that added like 3-4kw from tuning.

hmmm exhaust i live in canberra lol so jsut got it custom made. would like to get a nice jap brand 60mm one though would be better.

megan racing headers jsut researched they are good bang for buck, i had xforce 4-1 before this and the megan are much better. much better power band and sounded much nicer also.

intake is jsut a k and n short ram.

fidanza flywheel and exedy clutch was the most fun mod probably, makes the car very responsive.car has 200,000km on it haha must be a freak!

Here you go if memory serves me right.

GSi - B18B - 107kw's

VTiR - B18C2 - 125kw's

Type R - B18C7 - 141kw's

Just get a power reading on the dyno before u get the mods added to it. Then u will know how many kws u got from the mods and tuning.

yeah id love 2 but i dont wana pay 200 bucks 4 a dyno, coz i dno any1 with a workshop n thats the rate around here. I had a nice chat with the guys at this performance workshop near my area, prolly 1 of the best in adel, but they mainly specialise in turbos n v8s, they said that best thing they could offer was a "powerchip" seems like a good idea, coz its a pretty basic mod n like i said previously not gna go over the top with the car.

They powerchipped the new civic-r n it had a gain of 10 fw-kW n altho the engine is quite different from mine, they pretty much guaranteed me 10-15 kw at the flywheel. Its a bit pricey, around $1100 for the mod, with a dyno b4 n after the installation. What interested me was the fact that theres a warranty, if i dont feel that the chip was worth the money i can return it 4 all the money back, seems like a good deal.

Any1 kno how much 4 an average Hondata ecu, n wats the best way 2 get a hold of 1. Any1 whos across any sort of chip b4? Was it worth the money?

Thanks heaps 4 ur comments "dudeling" coz i was actually thinking about gettin the flywheel n clutch done but was told stuff about loss of torque, i read a forum the other day about the flywheel mod on the type-r n was still a lil iffy. How much am i looking at approximately if i wana get a flywheel? i kno its best 2 get it fitted when doing the clutch. Once again cheers bud, its hard 2 find people who have done much work 2 their gsi's so ur feedback is much appreciated.

Btw my cars about 2 hit 200 000 too hahaha! Never had the slightest glitch with the motor tho, well looked after, still runs smooth as!!!

there was this guy with a b18a teg n he did cams, i/h/e and got 133fwhp i think he did?

if you've got 1100 to spend after the custom exhaust i wouldn't waste it on a chip, get a bigger throttle body and/or port & polish. Or save a bit more for a programmable ecu.

[Tegzieboi_BAR]

yeah, ive found most ppl online hav been tellin me not 2 bother chipping it but it seems like a decent gain 2 me. The thing is, like ive mentioned, i dont wana go over the top with my car n if i can get it up to 90 fwkw (although we all know that leads to 100kw n then 120kw n so on...) that will pretty much do it 4 me, im not building a race car... that will be my dc2r/dc5s in a few years time, til then i just want somethin half decent that doesnt get put 2 shame by the almighty VTEC.

By the way "T-onedc2" ... ur adelaide based, what workshops/tuners do u suggest around here 2 work on a honda if i do decide 2 look into port/polish etc, coz i honestly hav no idea where 2 even look.

Holy wow! that dyno result in amazing! How accurate is it?

Don't go off Dyno results mate. Power doesnt mean much, is about using the rev range.

I'd much rather follow the red line than the black line. Wouldn't you??



I know that's a big exageration... but you get what i'm getting at.

[Tegzieboi_BAR]

Im not stupid bro, i kno not 2 trust the dyno readouts, but at the end of the day, if "dudeling" was able 2 achieve 95 (whether its accurate or not) i kno that its quite possible 4 my car 2 improve by quite a bit, i'll b happy with anything over 85kw n i kno that at the end of the day its power-delivery that really matters... all i want from my car is a 10-15% power increase.

N besides, i kno my car aint no VTEC *hangs head in shame* but the most power put out is prolly around the 6k rpm range, which i guess comes down 2 tuning the car well after the mods but like i said previoulsy, im not building a race car, just wna add a bit more of a kick 2 everyday driving.

I had a friend pay 3 grand 4 his supercharged v8's exhaust, came with a free dyno n showed somethin like 303 rwkw, then went 2 another place n after doing another mod had it dynoed n it only showed 260 or so, so theres a lot of dodgy ppl around that will make ur car seem more powerful than it is just 2 get ur money.

That doesn't matter man! Pick your head up .
That's why Toda VTEC killer cams were invented!

You don't need VTEC to be quick, hell what proper Honda race cars have VTEC.

It's just a gimic to give better fuel economy, and another thing in a race car to break - as it's more complex..

[teaseR]

a power run wound not cost 200 in adelaide.
PM me if u want to ask where and what mechanic
