Big things coming guys, first going to fix my turbo issue to fix my power issue, I will be ordering rods, pistons, sleeves, and turning up the boost, going for 500+whp. Might even try aem methanol/water injection kit

What about the transmission? Did you figure out what's causing the shift issue?

I think it's the clutch master cylinder, ordered a k-tuned racing one from axion, so we will see if that helps.

Is the transmission going to hold that kind of power? I thought another member just broke his right around the 400hp mark?

Any particular shop doing the tranny build for you? Also do you plan on changing to a different turbo and what pistons and rods are you considering?

PRL will do it, and I plan on changing turbo down the road..wiseco pistons, Carrillo rods

 

[Kevv_Si]

Yeah for now. They were going to give me almost nothing for the car because of the mods and I just have way to much $ and time invested in this car. I'll propably sell it privately.

 

[webby]

? So you're doing the trans mods and going for 500hp to sell it again?

No, the plan is to keep the car. If the right buyer comes around later on then it's possible.

 

[Darkout]

BUILD IT! Sti's are beast but something about a 500hp civic is just exciting lol

This is what I get for being a dumbass and leaving the slicks on

 

[ClearCutSi]

I do some late night racing on Saturdays at a local meet and since I don't daily the car it's always sitting in the garage I just said **** it and left them on. Lesson learned

You were street racing?

 

[Kevv_Si]
