LOL i know that's why i'm gonna wash the engine bay before i start. can't have clean parts in a dirty ass engine bay. :nut:

[gpomp]

let's see some dyno numbers :burnout:

[eb0i]

Awesome! Good luck on the build! Now if I could only convince my gf to do this with her 07 Si :D

[Jlude]

That's awesome! Can't wait to see build photos and the project complete.

[Mr_ET]

very nice can`t wait to see the performance gains this will offer and perhaps some track times?:D

[Aleks]

haha that didn't take long at all.

this should be the fastest Si on beyond now for sure. ;)

[heavyD]

Nice looking kit. I assume 6 - 8 psi max boost? How much hp/tq gains can you expect?

[Mr_ET]

I'm gonna guess this will put down about 220whp on a mustang dyno or something like that. tq should be around 165-170.

Will this get dynoed right after the install?

[Sorath]

DAMNIT JASON I KNEW IT

[88CRX]

Can't wait to see it on the street!

:burnout: :burnout:



J better plan on keeping that engine bay clean after the install haha!

[Trini]

yep i was surprised that i would be doing this on such a new car.

the kit does not delete the stock cat so with the stock cat and exhaust i was guessing around 240-250whp on a dynojet, and with a new T1R test pipe and cat-back i'm hoping for 275-285whp @ 6-8psi.

With those numbers, I think I will have to make an executive decision :eek:

[ecstasy_civic]

Dammit:banghead:

So jealous, im interested to see the numbers.

[01RedDX]

[GQBalla]

looks awesome!

[jdmSiR]

this is rad

Awesome, I expect around 250 WHP with the stock exhaust, but good luck with the catback, apparently the stock header on those things is built into the block or something.

that is on the R18 equiped car the SI has a K20z3 and does not have the header built into the block issue.

I would be extremely surprised if this kit gave that much wheel HP without some other tweaks and more boost than stock.

[gpomp]

i'd like to see how the greddy power curve compares to the CTSC...

K's react very well to light mods. This one will fly

:burnout:

[max_boost]

haha so much for keeping it stock!!

I would love to go for a rip once everything is installed and ready!:burnout:

[ls/vtec-crx]

so my weekend project turned into a week project, but all in all everything is all finally done and done. first initial start up was great no problems with the emanage or anything acting up. No oil, coolant or vacum leaks. Final things that have to been is the OEM Lip Kit which i picked up on friday. But here are the pics of the final install. I'll take it for a rip tonight and let you guys know how it goes. :thumbsup:

wow fits nice. I like how the air filter actually gets away from the turbo so you dont suck so much hot air

oh good. now all you need to do is just pray you never crash

[Mr_ET]

looking great looking forward to a dyno sheet and some vids:thumbsup:

[em2ab]

I don't get it. Is this Jason's car?

[Sorath]

if i were u i would replace those clamps with tbolts

[Mr_ET]

at that boost level and because each pipe has a rolled end it should be just fine.

[Trini]

really nice install

[analbumcover]

sweet!

[Redlyne_mr2]

wow brand new car and youre throwing on a turbo haha wicked.

[ls/vtec-crx]

everything fit pretty well and you can't even see the turbo, looks stock with an intake

don't need them it's not a high boost application and plus all the pipes have rolled ends or whatever you call them.

Here are some final pics of the car. Just have to finish the rest of the OEM kit. got the front lip on so far just have the side skirts and rear lip. Otherwise car runs great, anything below half throttle feels like stock anything over half throttle WOW pulls really good. Runs 7psi till about 6000rpm and then drops to about 6-6.5psi. oh and full boost at 3000rpm.

[riced]

nice! I know Jason's been itching to get this back
Can't wait to see it in person.
Nice job!

[4doorj]

yup cant wait to get it!!!
i wasnt even going to get the lip kit but i couldnt restrain myself

cant wait to get it tuned!!! it drives sooo nice with the tune is has now
alan has done wicked job on the car:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

also cant wait for some photos from riced!:thumbsup:

[A3GTiVR6SC]

long-route piping ftl.. but overall clean install!
I could barely see the turbo at first glance.:thumbsup:

[euro_racer]

thats pretty damn sweet!!

when are you slapping one of these onto your csx man? haha

[riced]

do you got it now Jason?
Damn, it's too bad that I'm gonna be away for like 2 weeks.. Maybe you'll have something new when I get back :bigpimp:

[4doorj]

i pick it up today
i wont have anything new in two weeks...hahahaha
i think im done for now

[Supa Dexta]

Just a note princess auto has proper t-bolt clamps for cheap, 3 or 4$ each I think.

[Revhard]

While I much prefer t-bolts myself, I have seen a few cars that have worked just fine with worm clamps like these up at 20lbs of boost with a bead-rolled tube. The bead-rolling is the key, that's why I bought one for all of my work.
Car looks good, should be a blast around town.
You should have taken it to the dyno the rsx club uses for reference purposes. Tecmotion.

[4doorj]

car runs sooooooooooooooo good with the emanage pretuned
now all i have to do is wait for the emanage software and cable so that we give it a better tune

[ls/vtec-crx]

So everything done and done. Here is a final list of everything installed.

Greddy Turbo Kit
Greddy Emanage Ultimate
HKS Blow Off Valve
T1R Test Pipe
Spoon Sports Exhaust

Car now runs 7-8psi of boost with the spoon exhaust instead of 6-7 with the stock exhaust.

[Revhard]

Saw this car last night. Install is very clean, great job.
Should be a great car for you jason.:thumbsup:

[cressida_pimpin]

Is that with an OEM clutch?

[crx/gsr]

makes me sick to my stomach. wow.

[mrjay1987]

Amazing car! Sounds sexy as hell!
