13.6 HP for $1400???

[funnylittlman]

This is RIDICULOUS.

I went to www.importtuner.com and pulled up this article for the new Civic Si:

CIVIC SI


Here's the dyno:

They put on a K&N Typhoon Intake, DC Header, and Tanabe exhaust totalling a whopping $1401.32 and they only got 13.6 HP outta the car

WTF?

I'm so glad that Joe MBC is like 25 bucks and we can get more than that outta our cars!

EAT THAT SLIVICS! (laugh)

funnylittlman - be careful when feeding that boost junkie inside too much boost w/o the right support and "boom". Won't hear that from a N/A car

N/A cars are much more expensive to build, $/hp costs way more as you'll have to employ many more techniques to extract the extra power. Our SCCA Touring Car Subaru EJ25 motors cost about $15,000US and make ~260awhp in a Impreza RS. The stock motor can only put down 98awhp.

Yeah, you are right ION...

I used to have a 99 Maxima, and to get any serious gain, I was going w/ the V2 Supercharger from Stillen.... It has FMU and everything...

I never got it installed... oh well

With an N/A 4 banger, $100 per HP is pretty common.

especially when the thing has high VE right from the factory...
