i'm looking forward to the results with that relatively small exhaust it should make for some nice torque numbers. where is it getting tuned?

[Bishops223]

joe at pittsburgh performance

[Bishops223]

do you think with a kteller 3 inch exhaust id get alot better numbers than the 2.5?

[Tnhatch03]

3 inch exhaust would def. help. i am not certain it would gain you ALOT better...

what size is the revhard manifold? 2.5?

getting a larger manifold and exhaust would help!

What r ur current #'s?

[hondero69]

for defauld...do you have ready wideband and boost gauge? knob for psi boost control? this is basic mod's for tune..gl

[hondero69]

it is recommended if you are stock do not go up 12psi

[civictype_r04]

You can you just need to upgrade your map sensor!!! There have been plenty of people in the pass run over 12psi!!!! I'm at 11.5psi and it feels awesome. It all comes down to how the car is tuned!!!!

[20boostedep02]

Had a stock k20a3 on 12psi for a year car made 290 stock motor stock map sensor on greedy emanage blue 12psi isn't outta the question lol and the motor never blew tranny like 3 times

how much boost u planning to run?

[AUTiger]

don't worry so much about psi, worry more about hp level. I wouldn't go much over 300hp if you get that far. And yes, I think you would pick up 10-15hp with a 3in. exhaust and about the same if you added a rbc. The way I look at it is that you could make the same power, but with less psi and have more room for improvement.

what r ur current #'s?

[Bishops223]

thanks for all the replies guys..and right now at 10psi its sitting around 250whp..im hoping to get it up in the 280's probably because its my daily driven car for right now

im hoping to also pick up a rbc and 3 inch exhaust but it wont be until spring sometime probably

250 seems kinda low for 10 psi. Wat type of dyno

[Bishops223]

dyno jet..but after my first tune i had found out that part of the gasket between the turbo and manifold was gone...so i replaced
it with a metal gasket so that could have caused the lower numbers

U should check ur numbers again then to see if it was the gasket. On a dyno jet at 10 psi u should be atleast in the 280 area. And if ur making more power after that gasket is replaced u should've had it retuned.

yea its cool though the car runs really good and im goin for a retune tomorrow so we will see

[superchargedk20]

good luck. post ur dyno tomorrow!

[Bishops223]

car ended up making 260whp 258lb torque on 11.5psi...then the clutch started slipping..i guess im just gonna have to put the act stage 2 thats sittin in the garage in it haha ill post a dyno graph as soon as i can

[hondero69]

I'm sure if you have 3" pipe+rbc+hondata img,you should touch easy 300whp @ 12psi.don't forget tune in the street once finish your goal.gl

yea haha now i just need to save up some cash and pick those up and replace the clutch and get a retune

[AUTiger]

those numbers are just proof that you need a larger exhaust and an rbc intake manifold. The tq is practically equal to the hp! But definitely not bad numbers, I also don't think your stage 2 clutch will last very long with that torque output.

[superchargedk20]

Nice! I'm sure those numbers are off too since ur clutch is slipping. U prolly making more than that

i got all those parts for you but a prc instead of rbc

[Bishops223]

ok man i may be interested just shoot me a pm..thanks man

[Bishops223]

thanks guys im pretty satisfied with the outcome for now..ill try to get that 3 inch exhaust and rbc on hopefully by mid spring and go get a retune but im definately happy overall because its my daily driven car and i drive from wv to pittsburgh pa 4 days a week for school and ive put down 44k miles since i boosted it no problems at all

[heyvortek]

really need lsd. having power on two wheels will be much safer and funner
