Demonic13 Posted July 24, 2014 Author Share Posted July 24, 2014 No AVO results are very impressive when they posted the dyno sheet i about fainted went from 118hp at the wheels to 201hp Right and they say that is from as low as 4.5 - 5 psi so..... Can't just be 200whp with there set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demonic13 Posted July 24, 2014 Author Share Posted July 24, 2014 I'm looking forward to watching (again) someone put more money and time into an economy sedan than it would have taken to peruse craigslist and pick up an off-the shelf model with ultimately higher performance. Don't worry about the "i" envy; all of us GT owners have it. We also struggle with chronic back pain from having to tote around our enormous johnsons. This is a hobby of mine... to subscribe to threads in which people throw money, logic, and sound advice to the wind to walk a path scattered with the credit card statements and scrapped parts of the literally hundreds of wannabe Hickstas that came before them. It's fun. I didn't come here for an argument. Really talented though just take what I posted and change some of the wording around. To bust out a joke. Yes economy sedan at 175hp and a gt with ultimately higher performance? at 243hp? great 70 more ponies. Im trying to achieve 243 from my na. Any way guys thank you all.

Max Capacity Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 As long as you know what your getting yourself into. Don't say we didn't warn you. Hey I took a 1992 Honda Civic Si and made the 1.6L into a 586whp beast. I could have bought a house for what that cost. This will be fun to watch.

Im trying to achieve 243 from my na. Any way guys thank you all. That's OK... but it won't be N/A when you do. And you'll likely spend more than I spent to get 300 HP out of my GT. I'm all for doing things differently. Doing things the same as everyone else is just following the path of least resistance. But keep in mind, sometimes the path of least resistance is as such because it's been smoothed over time by the footsteps of way smarter people.

LatentWagen Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Smart people are few and far between on car modifying boards... the smart ones don't modify their cars at all! Seriously though, we all suffer from the same disease. If the OP wants to waste his money, by all means, have at it. At least, I'm not gonna stop him... mostly because I've wasted a ton of my own $, and it makes me feel a little bit better about being an addict. LW's spec.

You will regret the decision to do this later in life im sure... but hey whatever makes you happy! Id love to race your turboed 2.5i after you are done to show you why you should have just got a gt instead of throwing your money away. You also aren't factoring in the engine rebuild and better brakes and suspension you are gonna need to upgrade to handle the crazy amount of power at 6psi or whatever you're planning on running lol 03 WRB WRX (RIP) 04 JBP STI (sold) 07 DGM Legacy GT (RIP) 12 OBP STI (DD) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have done it before many times just not with an import other then a friends nissan. I'm all in to custom work and Frankensteins. But sure beat down the guy looking for help and answers as key board warriors should. Does anyone know of an aftermarket company that makes performance parts for these ej25 motors? Sure we can race after I'm done with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasejase Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 I think it's one of those situations where you know what the best solution actually is. However, since you already have the 2.5i, it may just appear 'easier' to take on the project. If you took all your time and resources, and put it towards a gt, you'd have a 300+ whp monster that handles better and has more overall value. However, if the challenge is what you're after, and modding a 2.5i is your thing, get to it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thisheregirafFe Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 if you're going to run such low boost, why not a supercharger? if you're not scared of 'frankensteins' you shouldn't be scared to cut a hole in your hood! i can put anything i want down here?!

They can definitely be fast, if you can hook up. Not everyone is into running slicks on the street, tho. And compared to a Legacy, a stripped-out race Civic doesn't quite offer the same flexibility or accoutrement, if you will My opinion: For usable power on the street, I'd rather have a 300whp Subaru than a 500whp Honda. Wanna go fast for cheap? Get a v8. But that's not what the OP seems to be going for. LW's spec. B / YT / IG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
