any updates on emange upgrades/tuning?

[03CivicSi]

wait, What does a GReddy turbo bring the stock Si's horse and torque un to?

Good news fellas, Ill be meeting up with Kenji next Wed.(11-19).
My car will be up on the dyno so all you guys that are running rich, wont be for much longer, aswell as a tuned car:)

Thanks for the update ep!

I have a question... did u lose any boost pressure when you installed the IC and a BOV? I used to hit .6 on the boost gauge consistently, now its a tad lower than .6 and im wondering if i did something wrong or perhaps the BOV is leaking some boost off. At first I was running without IC but with BOV. Then I installed the RevHard IC but didn't install the Greddy BOV until a few weeks later. I havent been able to hit .6 exact again since I installed the BOV with the IC.

any ideas?

Is that a .6 on a greddy gauge? Or 6psi on an Autometer gauge?
If it was .6 on a greddy gauge, you are over boosting/leak . It should look like its hitting .5 .
.5 about 7psi.
.6 is about 8.4psi
The stock kit is designed to hit 6.5psi and it should read on your greddy gauge like its at .5 .

Now, I have question for you, did you remove your restrictor plate when you installed your IC?
Also, do you have a boost controler?

You will always see a pressure drop when you install an IC.

cold air means less dense so it takes more pressure to make the same boost.

Im using Defi Gauges. The stupid installed didnt install the restrictor plate originally so when I installed the FMIC there was none to remove. I checked 3 times. come to find out he didnt install it.

I have no boost controller.

On my Auto Meter Colbalt gauges my boost measures 8 psi. I have no boost controller and no intercooler. I wonder if something is wrong with my gauge?

[beansbear]

check to see that they installed the restrictor plate between the airfilter tubeing and the gasket.

mine wasnt installed. im still not sure if not having it on is a good idea or not with my intercooler on.

[ep_nezay]

The kit without an IC should have the restrictor plate on. Without it, it will cause it to overboost. That explains why you were over boosting before.
Now, you have an IC you should take your restritor plate off, in your case, you dont put it back on. It allows better air flow to the turbine.
It sounds like you are boosting what it should be with an IC and the restrictor plate off.
Like I said, .6 = 8.4lbs of boost. So, if you want to run that, thats fine but not any higher.I have mine set at .5 which ='s 7lbs. of boost. In order to do that, youll need a boost controller :)

Sounds like you are also missing the restrictor plate, make sure its on.

thanks ep_nezay!
you are like the Kenji of the board. thanks man.

hey everyone!

well, i just purchased the greddy kit, though it will be a while untill i install it so i have time to get up to speed on things. I have a few questions- what increments can you adjust boost and how easy is it to adjust the boost without much tuning, like an adjust on the fly sort of thing. thanks
