Ive been working with a friend on a low budget street civic and trying to get the most out of the car as possible. Here is what we have..

93 Civic DX hatch
98 LS motor
HP coil overs
Clutchmasters stage 5 clutch
NGK wires
AEM cam gears
STR block guard
Si rims with BFG G force drag radials
Autometer shift light
Hondata stage 4b
REV HARD manifold
T04B Turbo trims?
Turbo Technologies Intercooler
HKS BOV
440cc injectors
Tial 40mm wastegate

most of the parts were purchased used.





We finally got the on the dyno today and we were very happy with the results:



We are planning a trip to the track as soon as it stops raining. I will keep you guys updated.

special thanks to..

the 293hp run was on 20 psi of boost. not a very impressive number for the boost but the turbo is pretty small and the engine is stock.

jason
nice numbers....but your numbers are low for 20 psi.
what did you build in your bottom end to handle 20lbs of boost?
Thats tight st00pid. Very clean install and good results w/ the power. I likes. mad props.
thats fully stock motor tuning it the key
Wholly Crap, VERY nice numbers.

What did you do to keep detonation down at 20psi?

the car was running quite rich and we had very little timing in the program. If we had bigger injectors we could push it a bit farther.

Get it running Stoich and you will tap out more HP! Good luck and keep us posted!

Stoich on a turbo wont make more power, it will melt the pistons. Turbo cars like to run with a 12:1 mixture.

jason
the high side of stoich, just keep an eye on your EGT and knock and all will be good
I guess I dont understand.. stoich is 14.7:1 air to fuel ratio..
turbos like a rich A/F ratio 11.5:1 -12.5:1 at the leanest.. any leaner than that and there isnt enough fuel to make any power.

Stoich has a specific value of 14.7:1.
correct, that is the exact center of Stoich, but there is a range between lean and rich this is shown in the ranges below



LEAN RANGE: (.050 to .249V)
STOICHIOMETRIC RANGE: (.250 to .749V)
RICH RANGE: (.750 to 1.000V)

For engine safety leave at 14.7 or higher, a rich running engine while not as powerful is less prone to detonation and internal damage, for more power back down to the high side of Stoich and just keep an eye on EGR and Knock sensors.
You cannot run a turbo car at stoich under a load. YOU WILL MELT PISTONS. a turbo car running at stoich will not make power at all. A turbo car must have a rich mixture to make power. The leanest you can run a turbo car is 12.5:1, air to fuel. any leaner than that and you will have high cylinder temps and pressure.

jason
To lean and you will create engine damage, to rich and you will lose power
