Your Mods To 2006-2011 FD Civics

[lolmclol]

lolmclol yeah I finally got sick of being blitzed down the straights at the race track so I whacked a turbo on the poor old R18 !! too say Im happy with the results is an understatement !

about 3 grand all up? ... did you install it yourself?

[Stevil]

Yeah I helped a bit with the install, $3K I wish ........ Ill put some numbers up later on with a full build report, lets just say I was the sacrifical lamb and anybody who wants to go done this path will do it a bit cheaper than me ! And I'm also running FLASHPRO. Not 100% sure but I may be the first R18a in Oz to get this too working, thanks to Benny and Jimmy at BYP.

This is only stage 1, I'll be running E85 later on this year and Ill probably bump the boost a little B-)

Taking a guess the kit set you back around 4k~4.5k, tuning and installing has been ontop. Congratulations on getting this up and running mate.

Take it to Top1 or Hanny's I'm sure they're much cheaper than that. I remember getting my fd done for about $200 for it's 40k service.

Thanks mate! Will look into that.

lolmclol the Kit wasnt that expensive as I went direct with Manufacturer, got an amazing deal which inlcuded the larger 410cc injectors n clips ! i'll post and honest no bullshit build thread later on, as I said BYP worked out how to get Flashpro working with a JDM R18a which Im pretty sure hadn't been done before in OZ. As you know K swaps for FD1 and FD2 would cost more than double what I just spent.

[kikimushroom]

would installing a js racing catback exhaust decrease my low end torque?

[Benson]

LOL @ 'sacrifical lamb'! It wasn't too bad, its a good learning experience for all parties involved. Its hard being a first for something, there is alot of unknown. Luckily enough it all worked out in the end. No engine light and the car runs very well!

I'll let Steve fill you guys in with his turbo upgrades. In the meantime, the HONDATA FLASHPRO does work on the AUDM Honda Civic FD!! Shoot me an email for pricing or details - benny@bypracing.com

[jprak]

^ unsure but does have a nice sound to it



my one =)

Benny is this flashpro an R series edition or have you just used the K series one o.0

[jprak]

^ hondata has made a 1.8L one (US ver) though. he's prob using that?

[Stevil]

Curtis265 excuse my terminology, JDM = AUDM for me ... LOL ! This is the standard Yanky Flashpro that is supplied for the USDM R18a's, Benny has been clever enough to get Flashpro talking 100% with my motor ! Launch control is set at 4,000rpm and my speedo will be recalibrated to 250kmh, currently it cuts out at 210kmh. TBH I was expecting the Turbo would pull hard but Im a bit shocked at how hard it pulls early in the rev range.
