I’m happy 😊
What fuel you tuned on?
@@hecks_b_rex4010Tuned on 92. Washington mostly has 92
Damn bro good video straight to the point and actually useful 👍🏾
just bought my 2007 civic si and im excited there such fun cars
I’m glad you said that about the stock airbox cause I’m in love w that induction noise and I’m heavily considering leaving it and doing the other bolt ons
Stock airbox is actually a cold air intake, the way it's routed sucking air from the fender.
Save your $ with these 'hot air' short ram noise makers, as that's all they offer. Sound
@@yukonstriker1703 yessir, only intake id swap it out for is a hybrid racing.
Good info to know! I'm gonna get rid of my truck and get an 8th gen Civic Si. I'm excited!
I just got ride of my 21 Tacoma cement 4x4 for an 07 SI 95k miles and 2 owners. I drive 100 miles a day and needed a daily that won't run 200 bucks a week on gas
Glad to see you pulled the trigger, best decision you ever made
Very helpful 👍 bro
Skunk2 sound so damn good , worth every penny
Just ordered a skunk 2 exhaust and header, can’t wait to install them!
Good purchase man it will change the car completely. Especially with a tune 👀
Nice video. I am surprised how well these engines respond to bolt ons. I'm running flashpro, NST pulleys, 08 TSX throttlebody, K&N drop in filter, Berk test pipe , HFP muffler, stock intake/header/exhaust and Full Hasport 70a mounts. Per my research, I just wanted to stay as "stock" as possible and maximize my engine's performance and durability. Made 192.89 hp and 140.62 tq on a mustang dyno. My tuner was impressed. Base run was at 179.92 hp and 130.76 tq. Sucks living in Cali, can't do much of anything due to smog laws but I'm very happy with the results.
Cali driver here. Honestly 192 whp in this car is plenty for me if i can get it lol. I would be impressed as your tuner too. thats likely over 100hp per liter crank on an NA 4 banger. Open up your headers but keep your cat. Try a J35 TB like he said. Retune. You might just crack 200whp. Thats almost j30 hp on a 2.0L i4 with no forced induction lol. And you'll still pas smog probably.
Good info my brother, 👍🏼👌🏼💯
Thank you 🙏🏻
Dope video !
Thank you!
Planning to go fbo on my fa5 after I get my place. Ordering everything once it’s finalized, thinking of going Skunk2 3.5 CAI, Skunk2 alpha headers, and a full race with hondata. Haven’t thought of a throttle body yet though.
Sounds like a great setup especially with a Staticspeed Tune 👀 J35 throttle body should be enough for you, I like it because it doesn’t require a ton of extra port matching work
Got a 06 si fbo hybrid racing intake, skunk 2 header, 3 inch exhaust "ebay" and made 220 at king motorsports in Wisconsin. I've always used skunk 2 for a header. Tried the skunk2 intake on another si and seemed about the same as the hybrid. On my 3rd si and ill probably be going the same route.
220 whp??
my 07 got fbo e85 flashpro tunner and i love it pushing 235n
Nice video!
I have an '09 Si as well just finished my tune with someone in my local area.
I have the HR 3.5 CAI, 1320 Header, Full Race 3" exhaust (catless), RDX injectors and FD2R TB. I made 223whp
Very nice, great setup
Is there any benefit to replacing the stock injectors if you aren’t going boost?
@@nategorsline3179 I've gotten better fuel economy and I'm not maxing out the duty cycle... it's just 310cc to 410cc. (rdx) I would not recommend for a boosted setup.
Yes, upgraded injectors usually have a better spray pattern than stock injectors which makes for better combustion and going FBO on a K20 will put the injector duty cycle in the 90-100% range. Any duty cycle past 80-85% starts to diminish the quality of combustion. So upgrading injectors is a win win. Only reason I didn’t mention injectors in the video is because you need to have the other bolt ons for the injectors to really make a noticeable difference
@@staticspeedproductions8087 awesome thank you for the reply I didn’t know that
I have the rev9 exhaust for my 06 civic si sounds amazing it really impressed me especially for the price
Thinking about coping one for myself. How is the fitment? Are you on stock manifold or header?
me too I love it can’t wait for the header and not be stupid obnoxious
Best way to be FBO and also get fuel pump, 1000cc injectors and ported Intake manifold with 70mm throttle body from ktuned to get to 230hp or a little more if you lucky. You can tune on full E85 and make around almost 250hp so get a nitrous kit for $1000 + and get a 50 or 75 shot and be able to make 300hp
What's your opinion on fuel lines and fuel injectors? After all said and done in the video?
Great information by the way. I currrently have an invidia q300 + hybrid racing cai. Looking to get a header next!
Fuel injectors are only necessary once you already have the other 5 mods mentioned. You can replace them sooner if you want and it won’t hurt but I wouldn’t recommended it until you have at least I/HE
Awesome information🤟👍👍💯🔥🔥🔥
Thank you for watching brother
No problem brother I sent you an email to see if you could help me out with some tuning prices
Just got it we’ll be in touch 👌🏻
Another recommendation to go with the Header is to get at least a rear engine mount or you will crack your headers. I have full Hasport Mounts. The engine mounts prevents shit from breaking during hard launches. I launch my car almost everyday.
I have a 07 FA5. Just have 1320 Headers, K&N Typhoon Intake w/ heatshied, 2.5" Yonaka Exhaust, 9.5lbs Flywheel, OEM spec Exedy Clutch. Pretty modest build.
Just running the Hondata basemaps for race header.
Idk how much whp I make but its very fast 1-3. But def not as fast as my stock Focus RS I had pre-pandemic.
If I were to do it over again, I'd get the Hondata FIRST, and keep the stock airbox.
Everything you stated is true. If you want a custom tune from me just lmk man I can make you pull much better in the top end
You wouldn’t want the hybrid cold air?
This is very true. My manifold is busted from this tune😅
💯💯💯
🔥🔥🔥💪🏾💯
I have a completely stock 8th gen si, was thinking about going with an exhaust and intake first, hondata isnt cheap, would there be any tuning issues? Great vid though man, new subscriber! 👌👌
The best way I can explain it is if your car runs fine with an intake and no tune then your intake isn’t good enough. All the K&N, Injen, AEM intakes might be fine without a tune but it’s because they’re so small and don’t really do much. Need to go 3.5” intake or else you’re wasting money, and you need a tune for that. Just save up for the Hondata trust me. But exhaust will be fine without a tune, so If I were you I would do everything in the order of the video
did you have any issues with the plm? i wanted to get it but ive heard a bunch of stories of fitment, and cheap quality from plm.
Is there a way to keep the same power delivery and increase the power? Meaning I like the hard VTEC, I don’t want it to turn into some linear thing.
thoughts on adding 08 tsx cams after all that 5 mods u mentioned plus rdx injectors
That’s the best way to do it 👌🏻 you got the right idea
Do you need a tune with the skunk2 pro series intake manifold and grams 72mm throttle body
Quick question is it possible to push 220+whp with fbo tuned cams using shell 93?
👍👍
I think I'd change my oil pump too if doing all them bolt ons
i have 1320 headers, K&N intake, and a Invidia performance exhaust , thats all it had when i bought it, still trying to save up for flashpro
That’s a great start, Flashpro and a custom tune by me will make her rip
Sounds like clutch pedal is cracked
I have the 3” invidia cat back with shunk2 alpha. It sounds good.
8th Gen Invidia exhausts are only 2.75”
@@staticspeedproductions8087 Is there much of a difference between the 3" and 2.75"? I really don't like the sound of either the exhausts listed, and I realyl like the sound of the yonaka FG2. Would that still get the same performance?
Yonaka is only a 2.5” exhaust. Might as well have a stock exhaust at that point. But yes there is a noticeable difference between 3” and 2.75” but especially a difference between 3” and 2.5” power wise
You got any links or websites to get these from
dont forget tpye s oil pump
which rev 9 exhaust are you talking about ? theres a 3inch one but it says its only for FB6/FB4 does it fit the fg2
as well?
No that one is for the 9th Gen. If you google “Rev9 3 inch exhaust 06-11” it will come up
I made 222hp & 174ft on my 8th gen
P2r throttle body spacer
Skunk2 alpha header
Skunk2 cold air intake
& skunk2 mega power rr exhaust 3”
They are expensive but you make good power
I’m assuming this is a K24 swapped car
@@staticspeedproductions8087No sir it’s the k20z3 motor that came in the car
Sorry but K20s don’t make torque like that. Sounds more like a 215/155 setup to me
Great number !!! I had a very similar build, but with skunk2 stage 2 tuners and made 260hp 180tq
@@staticspeedproductions8087 check my ig bro unless the dyno reads wrong
I'm whatever my car stock is; I'm the mod.
Just got myself an '08 low mileage. Bad black paint but low miles & responsible owner. Would have been awesome to end the upload with a kick down.
Would this exact list work on a 9th gen I plan on trading my 2011 si for a 2014 si and another question what does the 8gen dyno stock I’ve been told they are underrated and make about 180 whp bone stock
Yes it will work on a 9th Gen but instead of the throttle body upgrade I would recommend an RBC intake manifold first. But bone stock untuned 8th Gens make between 165-180
I have a k20/k24 with a type s oil pump j35 tb hybrid cai 3 inch skunk 2 exhaust tuned on hondata fuel rail hybrid 410 cc injectors.
Dyno tuned 238 whp 188 torque.
Best Header for 8th gens are ASP headers.
I’m just now learning should i install the header first or the exhaust ?
I would do the exhaust first especially if you don’t have Hondata Flashpro yet. Make sure to get a 3” exhaust because anything smaller will just be a waste of money. After you get Flashpro then I would recommend a header and custom tune
Im a new driver and I dont know how I ended up in this vid. And finished the video with only understanding that all you said would make civic si go fast amd go scream
That is correct 👌🏻
Are these kind of mods even worth installing on a civic with 100k miles? I'd love to but id much rather buy a newer SI that has most already installed on it.
Hey I have a 2009 Honda Civic Si idk if I asked this question already but do you recommended putting turbos and if so which ones. I already have most of the things u mentioned just not a throttle body
Of course man if you have the 3-5K to do it right definitely turbo it
What turbos do u recommend would greatly appreciate it and also what is the top speed that u hit on your civic
@@staticspeedproductions8087 I do have 3k to spend so I might consider it
@@dragonhunter2264 Check out my video on the turbo that I just got for the Si. The GT35 is one of the best choices for the K-Series
@@staticspeedproductions8087 alright for sure thank you
I made 218whp with a intake, 10lb flywheel, j37 throttle body, 3” exhaust, tuned on hondata with 20 degrees of timing on 93, stock header and cat.
how did you hook up the 3 inch exhuast to the stock header? what exhuast and intake you got? i want to keep my header stock bc fumes and sound 218wheel sounds really good on stock header
@@repingers9777 mishimoto short ram intake and nvidia n1 3”. my tuner said it will make 230whp when i change the header... If u live where its hot might want to keep the timing mild unless youre running e85. I asked what timing he normally does and he said 30-35 lol too hot here for that on 93
@@repingers9777 and the exhaust bolts right up to the stock header. I warn you it is very loud sounds like a crotch rocket
You think I would need a tune for run a j35 TB, because when I installed the RPM go up and down and the realearnd process I never can make it happen is crazy brother
Yes a tune should be able to clean it up. There’s a lot of parameters in the tune that adjust how it idles
To do idle relearn leave your car idling for at least 30min and smoke a blunt then go test it out
Lmao this is great ^^^
is there a power difference between buying an exhaust setup vs just cutting the muffle and resonators off ?
MAJOR power difference. Stock 2.25 inch piping is extremely restrictive. You need a 3” exhaust to make power on these csrs
I have a 2008 Honda Civic ex-l I was wondering if I can do these mods too even tho it’s not an si
Yes you can go a similar route but it will be very hard to find a Catless header and I don’t think there are throttle body upgrades for the non Si. Intake, exhaust, and tune is as far as I would take it
Is it gonna be a big difference if I have a 2.75" catback or a 3"? Cuz I already have 2.75" and am looking to make 220hp with it
You can make 220 with a 2.75 but you will probably need to run bigger injectors and E85. It’s definitely possible to hit 220whp on 93 but it might be difficult
If you get a j35 throttle body do you have to get a adapter plate
No, just a thermal gasket and MAP to vacuum adapter for it. If you are interested I have one for sale on my website which comes with everything you need!
Excuse the question, but what does an SI bring standard? What engine does it have? Here in Europe the SI is not that common, mostly the 8th gen is the fishtank hatchback with an R18, which is cool.
40% stiffer overall, K20Z3 engine which is also used in the Acura CSX Type S, sedan and coupe body options, and probably the best stock intake manifold that Honda has ever made
Thanks 4 you reply. Were they ever brought to Europe or is that a US thing?
@@MischaGielen i don't believe they ever were, i think the FD2 Civic Type R might have been, which is the K20A engine based on the JDM/Canadian design for the body
@@FrozenIcethanks man 👊🏻. Unfortunately the Type R is paid with gold here. A type r under 150k km will easily do at least 15k€. 😢
@@MischaGielen that's depressing, but at least it's somewhat affordable compared to the new ones, especially since the USA never got any Type R models except for the Integra until the FK8 came out
Made 200 on exhaust,intake only after tune… about to install skunk 2 alpha… hoping to gain another 3-5 more…
Nice bro
which exhaust and intake?
Any thoughts about the invidia n1??
It’s loud af but if that’s your thing and you can get it in 3” then go for it
@@staticspeedproductions8087 I just figured I’d ask I’m trying to decide on exhausts I just picked up an 07 coupe 🔥 thanks for the reply, love the build keep it up!
What year and what model does the J 37 come from?
07-13 Acura MDX, 09-12 Acura RL, 09-14 Acura TL SH-AWD, 10-13 Acura ZDX
Bro mine is s mt R18A
So i dont have a si will all these mods work or what ? Its just a regualr manual trans 06 civic
I'd say you'd be able to do at least half of those mods on the R18, not as robust of an engine and transmission in stock form
Where’s your grille from?
Stock with the lower grille deleted
here we're running with poor r18 engine tho..
most dudes were using dastek, rather than expensive hondata
Thanks for sharing now I just need to stop being poor lol
Use the civic to drive for Uber eats in your free time and it will pay for its own mods that’s what I did 👌🏻
@@staticspeedproductions8087 hey bit a bad advice man. Thank u!
Anytime man! You could be full bolt ons and tuned within about 3 months of working 2 nights per week
Why 3” exhaust? I’ve seen V-8’s with 2.5” exhaust making as much power as the engine capable of. There is K-series do not push that much air unless you have a boost you don’t need a 3 inch exhaust. It’s kind of pointless to get it.
Let’s gooo 1st
Can these mods work for a normal honda civic 2008?
We’re going to pretend like you didn’t ask this dumb ass question
Can you still do this with a non si?
Yes Intake/Header/Exhaust/Tune will make some more power
Damn I’m fbo and staticspeedtuned and I’m pushing 441whp 305 wtq 🤣🤣🤣
How
that crack
Rofl!
Full bolt on and 449whp and 307wtq..........bolt on turbo. Lol
Lmaoooo
can you achieve 240whp in a stock internals of a k24 engine?
You can achieve 600whp on stock internals
Feel like he means on an all motor setup…. Answer is yes, you will need to go E85 though, fuel pump and rail/ injectors/ intake manifold
@@joeymcquilkin3670 i don’t get why people go e85 on all motor tho you gain probably 30hp? I could be wrong tho I was told it’s just better to go e85 when booster
Boosted*
E85 is more effective with a boosted setup thanks to its cooling properties and let’s you run a more aggressive timing map even on N/A due to the increased octane. I would say it’s about a 5% power gain
lol oooh honda ricers.
