Clemson Sports Car Club

This car belongs to Steven from Greenville. Steven brought us his Civic for a tune on Crome Gold last Saturday. After a few small issues on the dyno, he brought the car back today to finish the tune. This car is his daily driver, and retains both power steering and AC. The exhaust was routed through the stock muffler, and the BOV was recirculated to cut down on any noise.

Here is Steven's Setup:

D16Y8
75.5mm Suzuki Vitara Pistons
FJ Distributors Rods
ACL Bearings
Stock Head, Cam, and Intake Manifold

Garrett 50 trim (TBO363, .48 a/r)
Spoolin Performance Replica Manifold (Made by Ari)
Tial 38mm Wastegate
FMIC
2.5" Downpipe
2.5" Exhaust to stock 2" muffler

Walbro 255lph Fuel Pump
RC 550cc Injectors
GM 3 Bar MAP Sensor

Upgraded Plug Wires
BKR7E-11 Plugs







This chart is on 12.5 PSI.

nice powerband.

i guess he could rev higher if he wanted to, but you said it's a DD.

one of the magazines did a d-series turbo cam comparison.
the differences were massive.

Seems like with aftermarket pistons and rods you could do more than 12psi? Or is that just because it's a DD?

^^ I wouldn't recommend revving much higher on stock valve springs.

I saw the comparison you're speaking of. The Bisimoto cam made 81 whp over the stock Z6 cam. That's awesome. For anyone who didn't read it, here it is.

There were some wastegate issues on the dyno that prevented us from going over 12 psi, but we got really close to his original power goals. I think he was looking for around 250 whp at 15psi.
