Dropped my car off at Cybernation yesterday

[ssvr6]

I should be boosted by the weekend. Now, I just need the $ for a new clutch and flywheel.

Weather permitting I'll be at the track next Wednesday. Also, everyone plan on being at the g2g on the 21st. It's going to be a blast. ;)


Steve

[SHAKEnBAKE]

Does the kit comes with a turbo timer? Or can the AFC act as one?
Steve, you're one lucky bastard!:D

[ssvr6]

It doesn't come with a timer, but I'm getting one.


Steve

[02TafWhtSi]

Steve - any idea on the total cost?

[I SELL HONDAS]

Yes, What is the total $$$$ bill ?
*trying to see if budget will allow this much fun*

[ADAMnQuickCIVIC]

My guess is about $5500 if he went all out.
Basic kit ... like $4500.

Good Luck w/ it...
I'd be turbo'ed by next month if the damn wife didnt wanna go on vacation......arrrrrgh! :mad:

[BSEVEER]

Just convince her that if you get a turbo you will be able to drive her somewhere on vacation really fast!:D

I just tried....it didnt work.

She said, "Just get NAWS!"

I said, "Well NAWS only lasts for about 1.5 minutes."

She said, "So do you, but I don't complain."

[ssvr6]

DOH!

Um hey anyone know how to make a quick 6-7k umm legal or illegal.....I open for suggestions! :D

[I SELL HONDAS]

sell a car thats not yours. i hear the profit margin is very good!!

lol j/k :confused:

[Jodster]

Well?!!? Did you get your car back yet? He must be to bust burning up the streets:D

[ssvr6]

:rolleyes:

No, not yet. Cybernation had some set backs this week. A few missing techs and a lot of cars. They even closed their doors to regular customers so that they could catch up. They're coming in tomorrow as well.

I can't pick up my car tomorrow, so Monday afternoon I'll be getting it.

Man, I'm freaking bummed.


Steve

[myeverlovinsir]

One member sits quietly in the rafters, biting his nails in antisipation...
I appreciate that your doing this Steve, this will be a quantum
leap forward for you. I and others will be reading your reviews closely.
Thanks again bud!:p

[bioevolve]

My finger nails are gone, starting on my toe nails now:p

Steve, looks like rain the rest of the week, all the way to Saturday:(

[ssvr6]

I know...I'm freaking pissed about the weather. I'm on vacation ALL week too. F-ing figures.


Steve

[CleanBlackSi02]

So are we on for the track Wednesday?

[ssvr6]

I'm still planning on going, we'll just have to see how the weather is. I'm hoping that it's great long enough for me to get a few runs in.


Steve

[surfsi]

Congrats on your turbo;I'll be going down next month to get mine installed! Before I go I'll be getting my wife some new jugs,then she'll need some time off,so we'll drive down FL. drop my car off for an install. while my car is getting turboed, were going to the outerbanks to do some surfing, then come back to pick up my car all turboed and whatnot; Shit son I'll be coming back home with surfing out of the system, A turbo to blast down the 1/4 with and some new toys to play with at night!!!

Whats the word? Did you get your car back?

[ssvr6]

I'm picking it up tomorrow...I hope. :)

Nice...but damn that took a while.
Is this kit pre-fabbed or do they have to make each one custom?
Seemed like an awful long time for just an install.

Hope you do get to pick her up tomorrow.
I know you're gonna wanna drive it forever but try to resist the urge, come back here and tell us how it is!
Oh yea, and get to the track ASAP. :D

[Jodster]

For the amount of time it has been, I hope they are able to get a few more ponies out of it.

[ssvr6]

The car will be ready today however I have plans that are interfering with me picking the car up. Lee at Cybernation is trying to work it out so that he can deliver the car to me so that I can test drive it and stuff tonight. He's tuning the car now, and won't give it to me until it's making more than 240hp.

The time was due to hold ups from their suppliers and some of techs being out. An unforseen hold up.

Overall, I'm really happy with them. I just can't wait to drive the car!

:)

Steve

[Jodster]

I hope they can get more that 240whp out of it!! Have fun with your new car tonight. Post about it. And if you can post your dyno. Thanks.

[ssvr6]

Some prelim numbers from Cybernation:

233whp with no tuning

259whp with tuning at 7/7.5psi and at 93 degrees ambient

One of their guys is running to get new plugs as I type this, Lee is expecting 5 to 10 more hp. Once I upgrade my exhuast, I'm anticipating 10 more hp.

Not bad at all...


:)


Steve

[myeverlovinsir]

Very nice numbers, looking forward to the dyno graphs!;)

[Jodster]

That is sweet!!! What are the tq numbers? And if you don't mind, what was the total cost on everything? I need to start saving now!!!! Thanks.

[ssvr6]

I don't remember the torque numbers (I was on the phone with the owner as he was tuning the car, it was kind of hard to hear him.)

I can't disclose the total cost since my car is now sponsored by Cybernation Motorsports.

That being said, they can work with you on some of the parts that they use to save you "a few dollars" here and there.


Steve

[Jodster]

Congrats on getting them to sponsor you!!! Can you tell me if it was just the stage one kit that they used? Plus what else? Plugs? Ect.? Any info will help me with figuring out a total cost so I can save up. Thanks man!!

[ssvr6]

Just the stage I so far. I'll talk to them later and see if anything additional was added. I already know that I'm going to need a new clutch.

Steve

[mixedupneko]

nice numbers what kinda plugs r u using

[bioevolve]

:eek: DAYUM, with exhaust + plugs and little more tuning. You will be over 265+ hp at the wheels!!! That is a big F**king jump. You will be over 315+ hp at flywheel!!! Are the internals still stock?

yea...100hp over stock is about what i'd expect out of the k20a3 with 7-8 psi...
i don't see why 265hp would be a problem on k20a3 stock internals, as long as its properly tuned.
my old d16y8 (1.6L SOHC VTEC) made that on stock internals.
it's all about having the right combo...and being tuned properly.

This I already know, but it still adds stress to the engine which shortens life. IF you are gonna put that amount of money in turbo, might as well build up the motor, then you'll know it can take it. After driving it a bit, you'll want to turn up the boost anyways, this is a known behavior hehehehe. Besides it's 265 WHEEL HP, which is over 300hp @ the fly. My opinion is anything over 300 Fly hp, the engine needs build up if you want your engine to last.

[ssvr6]

Final numbers after more tuning and plugs (don't know which ones yet) is 262whp and 208ft lbs. This is the most power they've gotten out of ANY Si and the torque comes on hard a 4200 and doesn't stop till redline.

They were in the process of dropping it off to me (I was unable to make to their shop) when they noticed a problem with the car going lean everyonce in a while. It's there now getting a new inline fuel pump installed. I should have it VERY soon.

I can't wait to drive it and see the dynos!


Steve

We all have our opinions...
Mine is that 265whp is fine on stock internals...
Again, i'll refer to my d16 making that much on stock internals...
I boosted 14psi for 45,000 miles w/o a single problem...
When I finally switched to a b16, the d16 still had great compression and showed no signs of letting go...
It's all in the combo and tuning...
That's why I blew my 00' B16A2 w/ only 2500 mi on it...
I rushed it...the tuning that is...ran 9 psi w/o dyno tuning, no wideband O2...nothing... (due to being broke at this point)...
1 month later...BANG! Crack, rather... Bye Bye ring lands.

PS: I know someone running 11 flat on a stock internal B18C1 making over 350whp.

[bioevolve]

"After driving it a bit, you'll want to turn up the boost anyways, this is a known behavior hehehehe." This is the reason for the build up. I know Steve is not gonna be at 265whp for long, he will want more and more power;) :p :D that is the issue I'm getting at:rolleyes:

[ssvr6]

To be honest, I'm quite happy with the power and won't boost it up at all unless I do internals.

good idea, because the first time you twist that knob, all your tuning goes right out the window.

[bioevolve]

That is what I'm talking about :p

[BlackNRedSi]

yeah i am sure steve is more than happy with what they did with it....265HP!? Shoot, who wouldnt be!

Now is it possible to keep up with the EVO8? i know it has 270HP not sure if that is correct or not...

Steve...Can you say SRT-4 Killer! :)

[ssvr6]

Yes, I can. ;)


Steve

[surfsi]

It's your car that led me to calling cybernation;I talked to Eric over there and asked him if they could get the same results as you and they were 100% confident in getting me the same whp. For all that are interested in them their price is on their site,just add $850. for the install and that gets you air/fuel guage,boost guage,and v-afc all installed. they dyno tune your car ad hell they put together the turbo kit; I wouldn't want anyone else touching my car! I own a business and every thing I do I have 100% confidence in, and so do they!!! Unlike other companies who just sell you the parts that should work together,like revhard who in their add in this months import tuner,stresses the importance of air and fuel and then gives you the smallest injecters,and others that give you the biggest,so just what thehell is it going to be? These guys dyno tune the cars for you and build these hell rockets for themselves. The trust is there for me,and I can't wait to see there shop.

[ssvr6]

Let me know when you're in town, we can meet for a "ride".

:)


Steve

[02TafWhtSi]

Simply incredible!
I almost want to drive down there just to have it done :D
Now thats a thought.... :angel:

[surfsi]

We are coming down south the 21st of july until the 26th. and while I'm waiting for my car to get turboed, I'd like to check out your ride and maybe you can take me for a (get my rocks off can't wait till I get mine ride?) In all of these posts I can't remember if you're going to take it to the track or not,and if so I'd like to see your times.

[LordKoo]

steve,
no pics of the turbo kit of your car?

[ssvr6]

Of course there are!
