whel my hfp si is now camed and ive had it dynoed again..and i"ve found that when i hade it dynoed last..the dyno was wrong...its now running at 194.4 whp,,and 155 wtq.....i would say that is about right for what i have done to the motor..
Nice numbers but I'd say that dyno reads high. You can't compare two different dynos, in two different locations, by two different people, on two different cars. No two dynos will read the same. It is been my experience that a majority of the 8th gen Sis dyno around 180-190 whp (stock) on a dynojets.
Currently the Hondata FlashPro is the only "full" EMS available that allows us to keep our dashboard functions which are controlled through the ECU. It gives the ability to tune just about every aspect of the stock ECU without having to remove or replace the ECU. There are other standalone options available like Haltech and AEM but they aren't specifically made for the Civic platform. Check out Hondata.com
This was way before there was anything available to tune the ECU. Nowadays many people are getting over 200 whp with intake, header, exhaust & tune. Its also difficult to tell how low/high the dyno reads without having completely stock run for comparison. I'd say even with intake it might have gained 3-4 whp. The number seems pretty accurate for the motor being rated at 197 hp (crank) and factoring in power loss through the transaxle.
ill put my K20Z3 up against ANY other 2.0L ( N.A ) out there, and i bet my motor will out perform, out run, and out last ANY other motor out there. GUARANTEED!
@JulientypeS It does produce 197 HP, but at the crank. Ground/Wheel HP is always less from the crank. Manufacturers will always advertise their cars HP from the crank. So buying a car with an advertised 300 HP probably puts out about 260-270 to the wheels.
@xsrcivic Yea, well i'm traing for WSM (worlds strongest man) competition and i'm willing to spin em. I max'd out a 790lbs squat last night!!!! definatly could get em rolling.
Yeah bro send me a friend invite on the fb.....you farmville? I got alot of pink cows i need someone to lasso.
@zaryla9884 your a faggot just cuz its not a car you like dont hate you fucking guelebitcho and if you dont like the car dont watch the video simple s that you dumb shit
@zaryla9884 why are you sitting here hating on the si? your big wheel can make more tourqe? OK. get on ur little toy so i can run you over with my coupe hahaha. troll..
not bad power for little mods on a 2 liter, even though it is the K20. I have a turbo RSX-S. The Civic Si should have a K24 with 220 hp or so an dit'd have more torque
slap a full race turbo kit on that k20z3 beat of an engine and you got yourself a zo6 eatin monster only on highway runs tho just cant beat that low end grunt them v8's got
I think it's incredible that this car puts out the same whp as my stock 02 wrx did. Amazing that Honda got that motor to put out the same hp as a turbo'd motor, minus the turbo obviously.
I don't believe this to be true considering your motor has to supply power to all 4 of your wheels rather than only 2. But given the size of this motor, the output is pretty good. If only there was more torque available.
@hernandadmx ha ha ha ) you need to learn more about subaru cars first ) even regular impreza awd ) awd doesn't really mean that it will go fast ) and new wrx would lunch faster then sti )
What was the correction...ex sae , std and what was the smoothing on? I got 189 stock on a dynojet stock. 197 with intake...but yeah your car did sound like it was lagging for some reason like it wasnt pulling hard....which could be just the video itself....
@hondarox715 i think you can get supercharged two litre honda engines from japan. i dont know what they use them in though and they definetly dont use them in north america.
@matthewcrabbe If you are looking for a VTEC-ish sedan, without it being Honda, try finding a 2005-2007(?) Toyota Corolla XRS. It has the same 2ZZ-GE motor and 6-speed manual transmission from a Celica. It uses VVTL-i (Variable Valve Timing Liftoff - with intelligence), which is pretty much the same thing as VTEC. It engages at around 7000 RPM's and gives you close, if not over, 170BHP.
Otherwise, Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec-V or Cobalt SS Turbo is a nice comparison.
@zerotime2 Im getting rid of my lifted half ton for an Si, mainly cause I am sick of my gas milage, and going through tires. I want something that gets good gas mileage, but still is fun to drive. I say do it.
@zerotime2 dude im only 14 ok nd my dad has a honda civic si sedan nd b4 he gt it supd up it was amazing but then he jst recntly gt a ajp turbo nd more (im not gona list its to long) nd im sory to dis any company out ther but u guys r crap compard to ajp. i didnt think it was posible to put 431 hp in a one stage turbo set at 10.8 psi. this car is probly a 11 or 12 secnd car this car will probly beat feraris nd lambos ns crap so i recomnd getn an si. nd serch up ajp turbo nd u can see ther vids
haha rofl your dumb as fuck unless your driving a modified focus svt of course you have more power, you probably dont even have a 4 cylinder youve probably got some shitstang. so ford guy what do you got, how many cars have you seen stock that make 100 HP per liter.
@Fordguy772 But we get more miles per gallon. The money we save on gas, we can spend to boost our cars. While your car stays stock and is burning a hole through your pocket with all the gas it guzzles. :D
I have a aem cai and other than that its a stock 2008 civic si sedan i dynoed it this weekend on a dynojet. 177whp and 130lbs! Stock is said to be a 172whp!! This is the most accurate number for stock whp for a civic si. I gained 5hp with the aem cold air intake. I think your numbers are a little ballooned! Cause ur telling me u made 10 more hp with a custom pipe?
You can't compare one dyno to another. Many factors can skew the results even if its on the same dyno. There are a few different types. For example: a dynojet will not read the same as a dyno dynamics. The true test to compare 2 cars is on the same dyno, on the same day.
@fastcar4556 177? i cleaned up (cleaned the fuel injectors, changed spark plugs, oil, etc) my 2007 Si sedan because i bought it used and it has 188 which i think isn't bad. you should have gotten the K&N CAI because it gets 7 which is exactly what i got, also a Borla Boomer because it guarantees a 7-10 pecent hp gain which is worth the 200 or so for a muffler, and DC ceramaic coaated headers.
@fastcar4556 i didn't dyno after the headers or the muffler but i do know that Honda's have a pretty restrictive exhuast system so i'm guess with the muffer and the headers i got at least a 13% power gain (24 hp) for around 500. its sounds great too
The advertised numbers are produced from the crank. My numbers are produced from the wheels. Horsepower is lost from the motor through the transmission. Not many vehicles will dyno they're advertised numbers. Some forced induction cars are an exception (SRT4,EVO etc).
Hey, this question is for anyone reading this... I'm looking for a daily driver. I have a corvette right now but, I don't want to drive it during the winter anymore. I would rather keep it for the nice weather. Anyway, my question is... Am I too old to drive a civic si sedan? I'll be 30 at the end of the month & my brother says I'm too old for a car like this. I really like it, especially after I drove it. I think it would be the perfect daily driver for me. What do you all think? Thanks
Look there are plenty of "middle aged" men driving the Si and the R18 civic. As a daily driver I have no complaints, its starts every time, gets me to where I need to go and is very mod friendly. However, it does use high octane fuel (Si) and city MPG is lower than the traditional Honda cars since this car is "Sports Injected". But I doubt you are worried about MPG if you are driving a Vette.
Yeah, that's what I've been saying to him. He's telling me I should get an 05+ Acura RL. I want a stick first off, & second, it's mainly going to be a car to get me to work & local stuff. I don't need anything fancy. I think for the money the civic is a great car. Thanks for the comment.
I'm 28 and a high school teacher. I drive a 2008 silver Si sedan. The great thing about it is that it's not showy at all. It's a quick (not fast compared to a Vette, of course), agile, spirited ride with an 8k RPM redline that will make you smile, but it's also a family-sedan-lookalike that will not cause anyone to look at you like some overgrown little boy. It will save you a lot of gas over the Vette, and FWD is great in the winter, especially with snow tires.
@ScorpioFuror At 55 mph w/ the windows up and the ac off in 75 degree weather maybe. Any extra throttle and you're down in the low 20s on the highway. Lets' not forget about the mid-teen average city driving any Vette driver with a moderately heavy foot will experience. The Si will get 35 MPG at 70 mph easily. The Vette sure has come a long way, but arguing that it has "good" mileage in comparison to one of the best 4-bangers on the market is just absurd.
Actually, it's a very good comparision: A V8 making 30 mpg against a 4 cylinder making 35 mpg. And, it can be faster: Just check out the videos at Youtube. The Vette makes 30 mpg with cruise control at 70 mph as well. You don't need extra throttle for the Vette to maintain 70 mph, and I'm talking about the car spec's as what it can do, not the driver.
My C6 window sticker says 18 city/ 28 hwy. 16/26 under the new ratings which is B.S *I consistantly get over 30 mpg at 70 mph in 6th gear. At 70 mph I'm only at around 1700 rpm's. Around town I still average in the low 20's according to my info computer. I've owned this car since 2007 and I am very impressed with both it's city and highway mpg. It's a very light car @ 3,180 LBS and it's very areodynamic (0.28cd) -drag which really helps the gas mileage.
I didn't have enough room to finish. That city average is mixed driving, not all stop and go otherwise it would be right around where the window sticker rates it at. Still good for a V8 though.
Your car probably weighs less than mine given that my Civic has around a 3200 lb curb weight. I'd love to own a Corvette but it isn't very practical for me. I have a small family and do drive this car on a daily basis. The good thing about light weight cars with powerful v8s is that you have added torque to push you around easily. Impressive MPG btw, I wouldn't expect that from a sports car.
Thanks, I was surprised myself actually. Anyway, I did end up buying a used 2008 Civic Si sedan in black fully loaded with navigation a couple of months ago. This car definitely gets better gas mileage than the corvette as good as it is. That's expected though. I've been very happy with it so far. It's a great daily driver with some nice pep. I think it sounds great for an I-4 with the stock exhaust. I am happy with my purchase :)
@IrishChris1979 - I'm in the same boat. I really like the specs of this car in terms of power, economy and reliability. I'm 30 and worried that it will appear that I'm having a midlife crisis on a budget. I'm not sure why I even care what others think...but, this car is not "too fast-too furious" looking. There are some subtle cues that this is no ordinary civic but I think it's not over the top. I say go for it. I told my wife I wanted the MS3 - she responded with "how old are you?"
Love the color on this, was just at the HOnda today testing a 2 dr but wanted a 4 door, they didnt have any in stock to test! However in 09 I dont think they make this color anymore and id pick White, just personal though! nice
Yah only ever seen 1 white one ever rollin in my town in Florida. Im stoked up for a used lux Acura 4 door but I do love the SI Civic Sedans, hard to choose. Both Honda so I cant loose!
thats bullshit because the fiji blue pearl was discontinued in 2009 because it was replaced with the dyno blue pearl..the fiji color was still made in 2008
good choice! I ended up checking out my finances and its best for me to wait till around December to pick one up so ill just have to bide my time I guess! Have fun, with yours!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
fuck you and have a nice day. this car is rice because ppl think its fast. WAKE UP! THERE IS NOTHING FAST ABOUT IT. 197 hp? U GOTTA BE SHIITTIN ME. anyone who thinks they r fast in a honda civic is a ricer.
i kno that everytime i take my car in to get serviced the do a dyno run on it but i dont if u can like go up there an be like hey i wanna dyno run on my car
I like hondas a lot but I steered clear of buying an 06 SI because they have so little torque and the little that they do have is so high in the rev range.
i was so amazed by this car, i have the 4th gen i think the 2000 model. and i has a 1.6 4 cyl engine. i tot that was weak lol. then reasearced it and found out it produces 160 HP stock engine. now i am planing to put some turbos and all that stuff and i was wondoring if it is a godd 1/4 mile dragster. pls respond
I assume that is a b16 motor. Thats arguably the most supported Honda motor for aftermarket parts.
Everything is available for that motor. If you do it right you can get a 10 second car but you're talking $10,000+ in parts not to mention labor if you don't do it yourself.
A dragster can be made for cheaper with american muscle but if you want an import to romp on cars on the street, that car you have is the one I would do it with.
Surprisingly the baseline was the same. I have not dynod stock. It was a comparison for testpipe vs stock cat.
The test pipe did nothing for gains except at vtec engagement. If you've seen k20z3 dynos it dips about 10 whp before vtec engagement. The test pipe smoothed the transition out alot but ultimately ineffective for power gains.
I have raceheader and exhaust now and plan on redynoing in the summer. Thanks for looking!

Cause ur telling me u made 10 more hp with a custom pipe?

fastcar4556 2 years ago
You can't compare one dyno to another. Many factors can skew the results even if its on the same dyno. There are a few different types. For example: a dynojet will not read the same as a dyno dynamics. The true test to compare 2 cars is on the same dyno, on the same day.

@fastcar4556 um can you tell me how 130 pounds is a performance rating haha

@fastcar4556 177? i cleaned up (cleaned the fuel injectors, changed spark plugs, oil, etc) my 2007 Si sedan because i bought it used and it has 188 which i think isn't bad. you should have gotten the K&N CAI because it gets 7 which is exactly what i got, also a Borla Boomer because it guarantees a 7-10 pecent hp gain which is worth the 200 or so for a muffler, and DC ceramaic coaated headers.

@fastcar4556 i didn't dyno after the headers or the muffler but i do know that Honda's have a pretty restrictive exhuast system so i'm guess with the muffer and the headers i got at least a 13% power gain (24 hp) for around 500. its sounds great too

I don't get it... your modded civic is making less HP than stock?
JordsterMovies 2 years ago
The advertised numbers are produced from the crank. My numbers are produced from the wheels. Horsepower is lost from the motor through the transmission. Not many vehicles will dyno they're advertised numbers. Some forced induction cars are an exception (SRT4,EVO etc).

Hey, this question is for anyone reading this... I'm looking for a daily driver. I have a corvette right now but, I don't want to drive it during the winter anymore. I would rather keep it for the nice weather. Anyway, my question is... Am I too old to drive a civic si sedan? I'll be 30 at the end of the month & my brother says I'm too old for a car like this. I really like it, especially after I drove it. I think it would be the perfect daily driver for me. What do you all think? Thanks
IrishChris1979 2 years ago 2
Wow since when is 30 too old? lol
Look there are plenty of "middle aged" men driving the Si and the R18 civic. As a daily driver I have no complaints, its starts every time, gets me to where I need to go and is very mod friendly. However, it does use high octane fuel (Si) and city MPG is lower than the traditional Honda cars since this car is "Sports Injected". But I doubt you are worried about MPG if you are driving a Vette.
xsrcivic 2 years ago
Yeah, that's what I've been saying to him. He's telling me I should get an 05+ Acura RL. I want a stick first off, & second, it's mainly going to be a car to get me to work & local stuff. I don't need anything fancy. I think for the money the civic is a great car. Thanks for the comment.
IrishChris1979 2 years ago
I'm 28 and a high school teacher. I drive a 2008 silver Si sedan. The great thing about it is that it's not showy at all. It's a quick (not fast compared to a Vette, of course), agile, spirited ride with an 8k RPM redline that will make you smile, but it's also a family-sedan-lookalike that will not cause anyone to look at you like some overgrown little boy. It will save you a lot of gas over the Vette, and FWD is great in the winter, especially with snow tires.

Vette gets 30 mpg on highways.
ScorpioFuror 1 year ago
@ScorpioFuror At 55 mph w/ the windows up and the ac off in 75 degree weather maybe. Any extra throttle and you're down in the low 20s on the highway. Lets' not forget about the mid-teen average city driving any Vette driver with a moderately heavy foot will experience. The Si will get 35 MPG at 70 mph easily. The Vette sure has come a long way, but arguing that it has "good" mileage in comparison to one of the best 4-bangers on the market is just absurd.
JordsterMovies 1 year ago
@JordsterMovies
Actually, it's a very good comparision: A V8 making 30 mpg against a 4 cylinder making 35 mpg. And, it can be faster: Just check out the videos at Youtube. The Vette makes 30 mpg with cruise control at 70 mph as well. You don't need extra throttle for the Vette to maintain 70 mph, and I'm talking about the car spec's as what it can do, not the driver.

My C6 window sticker says 18 city/ 28 hwy. 16/26 under the new ratings which is B.S *I consistantly get over 30 mpg at 70 mph in 6th gear. At 70 mph I'm only at around 1700 rpm's. Around town I still average in the low 20's according to my info computer. I've owned this car since 2007 and I am very impressed with both it's city and highway mpg. It's a very light car @ 3,180 LBS and it's very areodynamic (0.28cd) -drag which really helps the gas mileage.
IrishChris1979 1 year ago
I didn't have enough room to finish. That city average is mixed driving, not all stop and go otherwise it would be right around where the window sticker rates it at. Still good for a V8 though.
IrishChris1979 1 year ago
@IrishChris1979
Your car probably weighs less than mine given that my Civic has around a 3200 lb curb weight. I'd love to own a Corvette but it isn't very practical for me. I have a small family and do drive this car on a daily basis. The good thing about light weight cars with powerful v8s is that you have added torque to push you around easily. Impressive MPG btw, I wouldn't expect that from a sports car.
xsrcivic 1 year ago
@xsrcivic
Thanks, I was surprised myself actually. Anyway, I did end up buying a used 2008 Civic Si sedan in black fully loaded with navigation a couple of months ago. This car definitely gets better gas mileage than the corvette as good as it is. That's expected though. I've been very happy with it so far. It's a great daily driver with some nice pep. I think it sounds great for an I-4 with the stock exhaust. I am happy with my purchase :)
IrishChris1979 1 year ago
@JordsterMovies I agree with everything you said. I'm a 29 year old surgeon and I prefer the Civic Si! It's a fun, affordable, reliable ride.

@IrishChris1979 - I'm in the same boat. I really like the specs of this car in terms of power, economy and reliability. I'm 30 and worried that it will appear that I'm having a midlife crisis on a budget. I'm not sure why I even care what others think...but, this car is not "too fast-too furious" looking. There are some subtle cues that this is no ordinary civic but I think it's not over the top. I say go for it. I told my wife I wanted the MS3 - she responded with "how old are you?"

Not to mention this was back when I had intake and test pipe only. Now the car has header, exhaust & Cobb AccessPort.

Baseline, 3 pulls is normally around 75$ depending on the shop and your area.

frarap06 3 years ago
I assume that is a b16 motor. Thats arguably the most supported Honda motor for aftermarket parts.
Everything is available for that motor. If you do it right you can get a 10 second car but you're talking $10,000+ in parts not to mention labor if you don't do it yourself.
A dragster can be made for cheaper with american muscle but if you want an import to romp on cars on the street, that car you have is the one I would do it with.

Sounds mean with the test pipe. What was the baseline?
pikachhu 3 years ago
Surprisingly the baseline was the same. I have not dynod stock. It was a comparison for testpipe vs stock cat.
The test pipe did nothing for gains except at vtec engagement. If you've seen k20z3 dynos it dips about 10 whp before vtec engagement. The test pipe smoothed the transition out alot but ultimately ineffective for power gains.
I have raceheader and exhaust now and plan on redynoing in the summer. Thanks for looking!
