that is def putting out over 500whp if you dynoed on those slicks, nice!! and in all the years ive been around hondas ive never seen that happen to a rotor
can you give specifics on turbo used, manifold, how much boost?
Yea the slicks were so sticky that they left a trail on the tile in the front room when we drove it through after tuning. It looks like someone did a rolling burnout inside the shop.
I haven’t seen that happen to a Honda rotor and I’ve never seen an engine in a car start running backwards. It was interesting.
It’s an AFI T67 kit, but with a cheap chinese intercooler temporarily since his good one was damaged by a flywheel exploding. The intercooler seemed fine at low boost. It was over 400 whp on 93 octane at about 15 psi and then as the boost went up the gains in HP became smaller and smaller per psi increase because the intercooler just wasn’t getting the job done. The 499 whp was 25 psi tapering to 23ish because it only has a 12 psi wastegate spring at the moment. That was on C12 fuel. Even if it was sleeved I wouldn’t have cranked the boost up more because of the lack of intercooling.
We’ll see if the axles hold up when he goes to the track…or maybe it will just spin the first three gears bad enough to bog into 4th and run a 13.0 at 116 like I did on the dyno. LOL
It ran a little faster than I expected, backed up the time and was told he could run a 3rd and final pass before getting kicked out for not having a roll cage. An injector wire came loose and he wisely shut it down. Great result for the first time ever running the car. He rigged the wire back up and the car fired right back up.
damn that civic is nasty!
is that :snky: 10.4?
Sure is. I wanted to let him post it.

did it come to with a tune on it already?
tha was the del sol.(complete different motor)
Is it still $75 for two pulls?
It’s 75 for 2 pulls on dyno days which we hold periodically and 100 for 3 pulls (AWD add 10 bucks) any time (appointment required unless dyno happens to be free).
Cool. Would I be able to burn myself a new chip between pulls? (It takes about 30 seconds at most).
Heard there was a certain f-bod in today?
If it’s that quick that’s no problem.
hey mike when can i come in for a dyno do I have to make an appointment
Sounds good. Give us a ring Monday or PM me your number so we can call you to schedule it.
Would some track prep on the dyno (VHT?) work at all?
It didn’t spin during the tuning pulls which was the mportant thing and bebe had me run a pass for fun, but yes traction compound would increase traction. In the end, the dyno cannot simulate a quarter mile pass accurately for traction limited vehicles. Weight transfer is restricted and the coefficient of friction at the tire/roller interface is different than what you’d encounter at the track plus the contact patch is unnatural because the tire is in contact with two rollers.
It’s a fun feature and it’s usefull for practicing reaction times on street and pro tree, shifting, approximating end of run egts, checking AFRs during wheelspin if appropriate etc. but the test has its limitations.
Mike I sent you a PM . Let me know if that’s cool.
PMd back. You’re on.
