hp is energy. higher hp means more energy can be used to move the car. TQ is not a unit of power nor does it deal with time. if you think increasing tq without increasing hp is effective, your wrong. Hp is the only thing you should be concerned with. the whole no tq argument is 100% retarded and bullshit. power moves things. hense hp/weight ratio's. tq/wt ratio's couldnt exist. crank tq give NO indication of powre output...
lol ok w.e u say professor guess those diesal trucks that weigh over 5,000pounds and have 400hp and 1200ft/tq that do a quarter mile in 10sec dont exist unless ur gonna tell me 400hp alone is gonna push a truck weighing as much as 2-3 civics down a quarter mile in 10 sec ok i guess ur right than LMAO epic fail by ur part!!!
400 hp is the amount of energy the car in putting into the vehicle. The car or truck will only BE faster with more inp0ut energy. 1200lb of tq, is what the 400hp used to make 400.... its not 400hp and 400 is weaker than that 400 cuase of this or that... 400 is an amount of energy. There are 2 options in this situation. Either math/physics engineering etc, is wrong. or your conception of power is a bit off.... which do you think it is?
you don't even realize how clueless you are... I have writeen books on this, Not to mention Years and YEArs of testing... You show my a 5,000lb truck, do a 10 second pass with 400hp at the crank and ill show you a driver who is lying to you
it doesnt matter which gear your in. all gearing does is change the tq output at the wheel or change wtq hp is rated as tq@velocity. so the hp output would stay the same, but more tq@ a lower rpm is not more power... its kind of tricky but you cant get more hp by downshifting... its all mathematically the same....
just a quick question. how much would it cost to put a stock 08 civic si into the 300 whp range as well as 400 whp? and is the stock drivetrain capable of standing up to those kind of numbers?
The best way to find out is to follow Honda of America Racing Team either on our website or YouTube user bryanjf1 for the 2009 Redline Time Attack season.
They just ran the last race of 2008 with a fantastic time, and plan to run as many East Coast races as possible in 2009.
You'll see just the video here at bryanjf1's channel and you'll get a lot of background information plus photos at our site.
jlagraba... you are getting a turbo kit.. of course you are going to loose your CAI. But your going to gain well over 100 horse power so i wouldnt be to worried about it if i were you.
It's good to have second thoughts and third thoughts. Make sure you know why you want a particular kit.
Our kit is aggressive, but still a great daily driver. If you're looking for serious power, our kit will meet that demand. And if you still want street drivability, our kit will do that for you as well.
I definitely want AJP kit , Im a daily driver but I need serious power, for track and etc. Let me save some $ and will see you guys , cause i live in SWF :)
Yes. Ever since the motor got rebuilt, we've been tuning it to increase the horsepower, slowly and safely. Check out our blog for details on the rebuild.
what type of trim level is this..i know its an si...but why is there two different body kit...like mines..is different than this....like the fron kit..is different....
my 2003.5 mazdaspeed protege is already turbocharged, but if i had a honda I'd do that to it. Currently it's getting a 3inch exhaust and some better brakes. next year calls for intake/fmic/hardpipes/bov/boost controller in one go and hopefully some more fuel.
411hp with 280tq ouch
no torque thats to
bad guess thats were
the toyotas come in =D

Why do you dyno in such a low gear? Is it so the observers think the car is more powerful than it really is. =P
nismology 3 years ago
As you can tell from the video, the car was dynoed in 4th gear, which is the smallest gear ratio greater than or equal to 1 on the Honda Civic SI.
This is to give observers the most accurate power measurement.
Any ratio under 1 (overdrive) would reduce the power.
ajperformancecom 3 years ago
it doesnt matter which gear your in. all gearing does is change the tq output at the wheel or change wtq hp is rated as tq@velocity. so the hp output would stay the same, but more tq@ a lower rpm is not more power... its kind of tricky but you cant get more hp by downshifting... its all mathematically the same....

ever throw a meth kit on there and bump the psi up?
praetorian2150 3 years ago
No. We're sticking to turbos.
ajperformancecom 3 years ago
I think I seen this dude last night! haha
CeeStyleDj 3 years ago
None. The kit puts down 376whp at 8.5 psi, but is capable of much more. That is what our shop car demonstrated when we increased the boost.
He had a boost spike close to 10 to get over 400whp.

when is the next dyno day. or can i get my car dynoed there anytime??
Buggie123 3 years ago
The next dyno day has not been scheduled, but will probably be sometime this fall.
However, you can dyno your car any time - just contact us and schedule it.

just a quick question. how much would it cost to put a stock 08 civic si into the 300 whp range as well as 400 whp? and is the stock drivetrain capable of standing up to those kind of numbers?
hellfire08 3 years ago
If you install our turbo kit, you'll 376 whp. We just started testing an AEM F/IC and expect to get even more power.
Check out our website and send us an e-mail to discuss figures.
Stock drivetrain can handle it. Many of our customers do not have any other mod besides our kit.
ajperformancecom 3 years ago
but for how long can it handle it?... cause if i decide to race i wont be just dragging. I'm a huge fan of circuits.

What other mods does he have on this aside from your kit at 8.5psi and a 3'' exhaust since ur kit is only rated for 380 hp at that psi?

4.5 to 8.5.

i have an 07 Si coupe with an CAI...now if i get this Turbo kit installed do i lose my CAI for the Air intake that comes with the kit?

6spd07si is correct. You will have to ditch the cold air intake when you get the turbo kit.
