What everyone has been waiting for...

[ssvr6]

My car is done! There are a few things that have to be tweaked, but other than that, it's great!

I'm hoping to make it to the track Wednesday, we'll see if that's possible or not.

Very nice, is cybernation going to put a slick paint job on it since they are sponsoring you?

[ssvr6]

No, but I will be running their banner on my car.


Steve

[Jodster]

Can you list all of the extra parts you had them add besides the stage one turbo kit? Thanks!

[Civicvtec1ps]

HOT we need more infos. specs. price. install anything
hehe very profesional..

[ssvr6]

So far, it's just the stage I that I know of. When they install and tune the car, they add in plugs and misc. I'll find out EVERYTHING that's on there beside the stage I kit.

Steve

[ssvr6]

Oh yeah, I forgot the most important part....the numbers. Dyno'd at 262whp with 208ft lbs of torque.

Prices are listed on their site. I'm sponsored by them.

Steve

[EPHatchgirl]

Steve, congrats man...

I have a dumb question- how is the drivability? I know it's fast as balls, but does it still idle well, and handle close enough to stock to remain a daily driver? The only experience I have had with a turbo kit was riding in a custom turboed civic that didn't quite seem to turn out as planned.... so any info or opinions would be great.:)

[ssvr6]

It's idles a little rough, but there's a little bit of tweaking that needs to be done. I'm almost positive that I'll have to get that "J Dampner" as well.

Steve

[ssvr6]

Here's my dyno...

Very nice!!

[fASTBACK]

WE NEED VIDEOS STEVE!!!!!

STEEEVVVEE WE NEED VIDEEOOOOSSS!!!

Nice kit and AWESOME POWER!!!:D

[ssvr6]

Don't worry, I'll have video of me as soon as I get a chance to get to the track.

Steve

[02TafWhtSi]

Beautiful!! Looks like they did a really nice job ;)

[EPHatchgirl]

Steve,
Thanks for the information. VERY IMPRESSIVE NUMBERS!!! Can't wait to see/hear more. Can I help you with a plug for their web address??;)

:eek:

*stares in awe*




"Fuck... Meeeee...."

NOW THAT'S NUCKIN' PHUTZ!:eek:

[SmoothOperator]

I keep imagining what it'd be like driving my EP if it had 262 HP. Holy crap that'd be fun...I'd be driving ALL the time :D like, more than now even!! hehehehe

[Lead_Foot]

Congrats Man!

You have just made many people on this website including myself very, very jealous.

262whp, WOWEEEEE!

[ep3guy]

Have fun on Wednesday!

[mhx]

ok i want one

[ballsdeep]

very impressive numbers nice lookin install now get out there and stomp a SRT for me. :D

[ssvr6]

Went for a little afternoon drive and man is my clutch slipping! That's definitely the next thing on my list...holy crap does thing have a pair of ballz.


Steve

[mhx]

what clutch are you gonna get?

[ssvr6]

Don't know. I'm trying to find someone interested in sponsoring the car. I'd like to be the first EP3 in the 12's, 11's, etc..


Steve

[chubbychu]

can you beat an srt? if yes...WOOHOO! no more losing to neons!

[PoRT]

WOW:eek: congrats steve i am HIGHLY impressed and happy for you! next time we meet up you'll have to take ME for a ride. the guy was sposed to call me back but never did.. no biggie.. im gunna stay N/A i guess. cant wait to see some numbers

[myeverlovinsir]

Excellent numbers Steve! The clutch is something I was thinking
I will need to upgrade even now. I have noticed some slippage.
With the power your putting down, you will burn out that clutch
very quickly. Let us know what clutch you plan to get. Tks and
have fun at the track!:D

[RockEP_SS**]

:eek: Damn, sweet shit Steve-o! How many pounds you boostin? You know what you should do now, go meet up Master P-dog (PoRT) and run!! I bet your shifting at like 5 and a half or 6 just to hear your blow-off valve huh :p ;) :D ?

[95 GSR]

wow, nice....

Are u running stock ecu with just a S-afc?

[ssvr6]

I'm working on vids...

I'm running the stock ECU with Cybernations Black Magic ELF piggy back system and the VAFC.


Steve

[gpt]

Are you going to increase your rev limit? Can you increase your rev-limit??? It seems on the dyno your power is still climbing at cut-off..... other than that, congrats, your car must feel awesome!

[Dunrick]

Be more specific on the cars power....is it too much (wheelspin) etc etc?

Must be nice....

ooodalolly! golly, what'a daaaaaaaay!! Hahah

[Laz's EP]

Congrats Steve, What exhaust are you using?
I was thinking that in the near future I would like to go turbo.I noticed that with "NOS" the car runs good but I cant hang with other cars top end. The only thing is that I would like to get a K20A2 or if posible Type r motor and then put the turbo kit.

[ssvr6]

I could, but for now, I'm good. (The power will probably keep climbing to 8500.)

The power is fine so far for the tires, but the clutch is shitting itself if I get too hard on it in first gear. I haven't tried a launch from a dead stop. I don't want to break anything...yet.

I have no cat. I'm running 2.5" to my 2.25" midpipe and I'm running the stock muffler. I'd say go with the K20A2 or A3 with boost. In fact, I'm thinking the A3 will be MORE powerful in the long run compared to the 2. (Or the K24 from the TSX.)

Steve

[golferjn]

nice car. looks good

[Pir8pete]

whats boost are you running 7psi ? and whats the diff with your kit and the one that comes from Ultimate-Racing.com ? just cuz i think your numbers are higher

[surfsi]

I'm calling them today to install mine next month and I'm impressed by the numbers, but what do you mean when you say you have some tweeking to do? Can you work out the bugs with the afc, or is it more than that? Anywho I was allready stoked and now I'm just over anxious, it looks great and I'm sure you'll have a blast-boost. Well it's 6:30 am and the clock is ticking,time to schedule this install!!!

[ssvr6]

Yeah, I have to tweak the VAFC. I went back to the shop yesterday (I had thrown a rich fuel CEL) and we tuned up the narrow rpm bands making sure that there wasn't too much fuel being sent (basically just trial and error and watching the Air/Fuel gauge).

BTW- for those that asked, the plugs are NGK VW Raceline or Race Series. That's all the info that they had, no part number.


Steve

[IceD out N CALI]

congrats man, i'd love to have that setup:)

[2k2_nbp_egg]

How big is the turbo? 18g like the one on the type S kit? And also, how's the lag? Looks like some goddamn impressive #s... you need to go srt-4 stompin' some time. They've been posting similar numbers to your car except the HP and tq #s are switched around...and since tq is a function of HP you should easily win :)

[Rueda del Queso]

Otherway around, hp is a function of torque. Torque is a measuremnt of the rotational force provided by the engine. On dyno's this is done at the tire. Horsepower is a measure of the amount of work, in this case the torque, done in a given time period, in this case a second.

[95 GSR]

ohh yea ....... how much boost were u running on that dyno? 10psi?

[CleanBlackSi02]

That sucks that you have to replace the clutch already. I'm just interested in long term reliability...

[95 GSR]

its probably cuz its a stock clutch.... im sure a ACT or any other aftermarket proformance clutchs will not go that quick...

[2k2_nbp_egg]

Holy shit that sucked for me lol. I thought the formula for horsepower was....tq X rpm divided by 5250 or something? Eeeyea i'mma stop now...actually can u send me a pm? I'm interested :)

[tony speed]

how's the turbo lag? does it take long to spool? i've never owned a turbo before so i see there's a sharp rise in torque in the late 3k rpms. i guess a lighter flywheel would be in order to complement the clutch

[ssvr6]

Originally posted by 95 GSR

7.5psi

I don't have to replace the clutch, but if I want to race more competively at the track, I'll need at least a ClutchMasters Stage 4.

Lightened flywheel would take me out of the boost "range" really quickly. Not normally a good thing. I know that the Cybernation RSX-S is running it, but I'm happy with the spool up time. The lag is minimal IMO.

I'd stay away from clutchmasters if I were you, not sure if you've experience them, but I had their stage 2 and the engaged too damn quick. There was no control, just on or off. Terrible clutch. I had the pressure plate also. This was on my 97 EX I had. I hear ACT is the best out there..so far.

NIIIIICEEE =) What psi is that at, 7? Or did you turn up the boost a bit hehehe...

[ssvr6]

There's no boost controller in the car, so I can't just go crank it up. (And there's a reason for it too!)

;)


Steve

[BlackNRedSi]

leave the boost where it is...yo go tweakin that shit i thought it would fuk up your boost settings

[95 GSR]

more boost more boost......:p

9lbs!!!!!

:D

[ssvr6]

Cybernation is confindent that we can run 12lbs on stock internals. I just don't have a clutch that can take it.

Steve

[SiR Medic]

So...

How much does all this goodness cost?

[ssvr6]

I'm partially sponsored by them so I can't discuss the price I paid. I can say that they'll work with you on the components used to help with the total.

Steve

[Rueda del Queso]

Ok, how about this. Is the total of what you paid and what cybernation paid going to be the same as the kit price, $4400, plus install ($900 I think)?

[ssvr6]

It's $4400 for the stage I and $750 for install.

Steve

[tony speed]

will the black magic thing they use fool the ecu permanently? or do you have to reboot the ecu periodically?

[ssvr6]

Well, you don't "reboot" per say. Since I'm still working on a good air/fuel mix, I've thrown a CEL from richness. I just yank a fuse, wait a few seconds, put it back and the ECU resets itself.

Will it happen all of the time? No.

I AGREE!:mad: clutch masters is crap, go with ACT, they feel as good as stock. ;) I used both in my old '94 lude. the ACT was great! :)

it should be permanent, I would assume.

As for those wondering how much boot he's running, it's 7.5 :D

[CSMsi311]

That is the flattest damn torque curve i've ever seen on a honda. I've very impressed. I'll recommend an Exedy Clutch. I have one on my si and it is great.

Welcome to the Dark Side

[camslash]

i was looking at the pics and wondering about your intake and filter. are those provided by the same company? manufacturer? your numbers are sick, with a sturdier clutch you should be brutal.

[cbecker333]

I gotta say these numbers are really making me reconsider FI when my warranty is out.....I mean I could have all the power I'd ever need at 5-7lbs of boost and still see good reliability past 100,000 right? Awesome job, Steve (and cybernation)!
