Hi Guys - I see a few comments about the dip in the dyno graph. The dip and hump after vtec is due to the length of the intake. I actually have a whole video on intake testing. With some good examples of different intake lengths. Check out the video here. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYGyaKNporWpoqM

[@JTgoesPRO]

So would the dip smooth out with vtec engagement a bit later in rpm?

[@kirbysepida5610]

shop location pls..im local and would like you to tune my 09 si

Great video nick keep them coming!

[@hondaboy_cj2691]

Sounds good to me coming from a 9th gen owner made around my same number i’m on the same set on E85

[@lorilightfoot6447]

I added a Magnaflow resonator to my guys Yonala exhaust and it helped with the raspiness.

Thank you for not putting some goofy ass beat in the background 😭😭🤣💀🙏🙏🙌

[@cornerstrike]

@tuningbynick Good video. Any idea what a stock 9th gen Civic Si makes on your dyno?

[@666shredordie]

My 2012 Si made the same horsepower on the stock intake manifold and throttle body but slightly less torque on a mustang dyno. FBO otherwise with a 3.5 short ram/cooling tube, 3 inch catted downpipe, 2.75 Invidia Q300 exhaust.

[@zoob4371]

did you get a check engine light from the catted downpipe? if not, what company did you get it from

[@666shredordie]

@Zoob 43 I have the secondary O2 sensor turned off so no CEL lights ever. Honestly it's not even installed because it got stuck in the last pipe 😂 it's the PLM 3 inch catted pipe.

[@ericmoney9734]

​@zoob4371 I'm running an RV6 catted DP and you will get a CEL. I put my stock tune back on for 2 weeks ( ~100 miles ), and make sure I stay under 3k rpms, the CEL won't come on. I do this to get inspected. * I do have my o2 sensor off while running my tune 99.99999% of the time.

[@zoob4371]

thanks for the responses guys

2013 pearl black 16inch Rax wheels. Painted gold. Went from stock rins 30lbs to 16. Id say the pull is 10hp all day. Cars way lighter. Light wheels an tire. RRC ported an ported throttle body RC injectors full race 3 inch downpipe 3 inch Tusudo exhaust to a vibrant resonator to 3 inch fart can. 3.5 inch custom intake threw rhe hood to vtec open air. 7200 redline put down 237. To the wheels. Factory freek! Got a k20a JDM head going on k24 block after head install. Push her to 245-250 i hope. Or just get out my 92 civic hb cx stripped, mickeys all around B18C5 block B16B head built valve cover to oil pan. 🛢 11.9 qm

[@adrianesteves3260]

K20 type R engine swap would be nice. Already have the engine from my old 2018 FK8

[@gibememoni]

my first mod is going to be a cold air intake, is there one that doesnt have problems hitting the battery? seems like everyone goes with the acuity intake

[@FR11]

NIIIIIIIICK

[@justxaine.3544]

VTEC kicking caused the dip ?? Could it not be as good as the tune you have running so the ECU switched back to the tune over VTEC, I'm talking out of my ass I have no idea how ecus and tuning works I'm a part slapper.

[@Darylrb1983]

Have a similar engine in my cu2 tsx. I've come to love it. But...I wish I had a manual, and with shorter gearing lol

[@chrisb15679]

Flashpro can help with gear tuning the auto trans, via throttle tuning. My cw2 rows through gears quicker than stock .

[@chrisb15679]

It wont be like a manual swap but if helps lol

[@nicholastuason9130]

You ever do e-tuning?

[@JohnnyTY]

Niceeed👍👍👍

[@mauriceclark6093]

I have a 9th gen SI and I’ve been following your tuning quite a few of these and it seems like 214 is maybe not the max but the most common number for the horsepower and it’s mostly torque that’s changing between different mods so just curious what gets someone into a iron higher power band without forced induction in your opinion

[@angleroutdoors8527]

Just do the same build with a catless down pipe. This car would be at 225whp instead of 215whp if it was catless

[@cleezcs]

Seen the same setup make 235 on us 93 gas. It all depends on the dyno and the fuel type really

Sounds great with the rbc mani and cat, the yonaka tho 🤢 q300 or full race only

Full race. Tried to put a yonaka on my 2022 and it doesn’t fit. After hearing it in this video, I’m very glad it didn’t fit.

[@JTgoesPRO]

Nasty dip at 5k. Why?

[@JerkingwithJesus]

Vtec placement but I could but thats my guess could also be the mods and setup

[@joeymcquilkin3670]

Definitely Vtec engagement

[@newengland9thgen372]

Vtec engagements requiring large amount of oil pressure to travel to the top of the crankcase

[@nikosicapero5294]

Wheel specs please?

[@wav3yr520]

That yonaka exhaust is definitely holding the car back... Probably could've made a bit more power with a full race

[@m4xripper]

its his dp its catted

Ughh so many comments to make lol… ~ I agree I love these years Si’s and in four door ESP in white 🤤 ~ That Yonaka exhaust is trash! I know it’s hundreds cheaper and it’s decently quiet BUT the problem is these cars get so much louder with any kind of DP and if your exhaust ain’t quality then it gets louder AND raspier and sounds like garbage ~ The Vtec engagement is way to low Good video man! Let’s get some more of these!!

[@BoostedFB6]

Vtec engagement is not too low, the high and low tables cross at a certain point, on 9th gens is between 4200-4800. Also 4-5k rpm is a dead spot in the power band so low engagement can help that

[@beartodrift5345]

I have the same downpipe/header and catback, and it sounds nothing like that in person. Maybe this person did a res delete or something but mine doesn’t sound anything close to the video, even though the parts are the same
