I never get tired of hearing the PRL intake 🤤 lol. Have you ever thought about getting the cobra? Sucks about your limp mode, hopefully she get’s well soon 👍🏼
Best intake for this car bro, and nahh I haven’t thought about getting the cobra I think the short ram with the race maf works fine. Yea limp mode is an issue rn, I can’t do any racing at the moment.
@@alexl.102Damn bro this sucks. Do you have a similar set up as mine? This happened as soon as I tuned it with drob with the 27won w2 turbo. Not saying he’s a bad tuner because he’s a great tuner, he told me it could be spark plugs or a hondata issue. I installed brand new spark plugs (gapped to 0.020) and it seemed to help a little. Today ima install new msd coil packs hopefully that fixes the issue completely.
@@Dimelowcrew no, stock turbo but had the OTS phearable 1.5R tune with CVT trans. I just replaced my spark plugs too and its having some startup issues at least with the remote key. But it did start going limp a while back before that and then I thought it got worse after a few rainstorms we had, which I thought it got hydrolocked cuz I have a PRL CAI. I reflashed back to stock and it's still like this. I had been tuned for about 50k miles, no problems. Going to try to retune it later. Was this only happening with your new turbo?
Got an SI 2020 as well, are u nervous about blowing up the L15 with the bigger turbo and E? I am thinking of building the engine then upgrading the turbo down the line
Not really nervous of it blowing up. If you have the proper bolts ons and a good custom tune you should be fine for a while. They’ll hold a lot beating. I’ve seen a lot of people mod these cars and always complain about it being a terrible engine, those are the guys that run ots tunes forever and never get a custom tune. Ots tunes are only good as a basemap to then get a custom tune after.
Thanks man I appreciate that! The w2 is a really fun turbo. Btw literally today the car started acting weird, it sounds like a misfire but it can be injectors. It’s throwing a p0354, p006a and p050a, I checked if all the sensors are connected, cleaned the maf sensor and it’s still “misfiring” The air fuel ratio is 20+ and in a cold start it won’t stay on until I give it gas so it could warm up and stay on. It looks like injectors are clogged. All the lights on the dash are on and the turbo won’t spool.
@@kylegentles2270 I checked what’s exactly the problem and yes it’s the injectors. I don’t really see the need of upgrading to the hondata fuel system since the L15 can’t hold no more than 350whp “reliably”
I wouldn’t recommend going full E85. With this set up on E30 you’re already at 350whp. With full E85 you would be around 400whp and thats not realible, being that these engines are so small and aren’t great at making a lot of power. Unless you have built engine then you’ll be good, if not I would stick with E30 if you don’t wanna run into issues.
They’re both good, it’s really personal preference. I personally got the short ram because I was scared of it one day sucking in water and then hydro locking with the cobra lol
@@kidstarr100I would do intake and intercooler first. For the intercooler you don’t need charge pipes since you’re on stock turbo. Then I’ll do the downpipe/frontpipe.
love the si
Thanks bro!

@@Dimelowcrew I'm having the same issue with my car too, the check engine lights on and its stuck on low boost. when did you notice yours happening?

@@alexl.102ohh ok I see. It’s been happening to me ever since I upgraded the turbo. On stock turbo it was completely fine even with flex fuel.
damn those are good numbers you made with the upgrade, thing hauls ass
Yea really good numbers for stock engine/trans the car pulls hard.

You ever thought about adding a blow off valve?
No. I think it sounds really good with just the intake and inlet.
do you think your injectors could be going out? just a thought lol, love your si tho bro i plan on going w the w2 turbo here pretty soon as well.

@@Dimelowcrewmight as well do the Hondata fuel system upgrade then

I have the same set up as you I’m debating to get the hondata fuel statue upgrade so I can full e85 what do you think ?

Lol that audi suv wanted to race
😂😂😂
What’s better, the PRL short ram or cobra? I’m thinking of picking one up but can’t decide
They’re both good, it’s really personal preference. I personally got the short ram because I was scared of it one day sucking in water and then hydro locking with the cobra lol
@@Dimelowcrew truee, also what would you recommend I do next to my 10th gen Si? It’s bone stock except for the KTuner base tune
@@kidstarr100I would do intake and intercooler first. For the intercooler you don’t need charge pipes since you’re on stock turbo. Then I’ll do the downpipe/frontpipe.
