How much POWER does a Stock Civic Make? // DYNO TESTED

[@jonmcclane7433]

Those Acura wheels look really nice on it.

[@driverain2]

Let me be honest since this is a private forum..... Your presentation of the content is excellent for keeping attention going for fans. Knowing that you are Italian and handsome is the icing on the engine !💥

[@driverain2]

I'm new to your channel and the first video I watched had your black Honda in the background . Can you say its type, year model and anything interesting about it.

[@tuningbynick]

Great video as always! Looking forward to working together on this project

[@milanmastracci]

Can't wait!

[@delagto_5340]

I like his videos too !

[@TC926]

2:52 is the reason i love Honda K24 engine

[@ThatBoosted9thGen]

i made similar results when i tuned my ‘13 si stock, got 190 whp & 168 wtq. cant wait to see the build as you progress bro

[@milanmastracci]

That's sweet! Nice to see these K engines are so consistent 👍 I can't wait get this Civic engine swapped!

[@nrg3k]

Great collab! Tuning by Nick is the best Honda tuner

[@milanmastracci]

Hell yeah man! 🙌

These are actually pretty good numbers I can’t wait for the mods to start !!!!!

Yeah I was actually impressed! Good job Honda

[@BulliKid]

Sweet. I just started watching tuning by nick few months ago.

[@milanmastracci]

That's awesome man! He's doing some awesome work in his garage 👍

[@shaunbailey4922]

Same just found his channel and I've already learned a lot

[@noahmurphy7810]

Do you have an exaust on it

[@MrRangerZr1]

Milan, PLEASE do a dyno run after EACH mod. This way we can confirm which mods are best.

[@ThatBoosted9thGen]

the most power yielding mod on the 9th gens would be a downpipe, inatake & exhaust do give you an increase but not as much as the downpipe would

[@milanmastracci]

I would love to, but I don't think that is feasible. If Nick's shop was closer to me, maybe we could get something to work out, but I have wayyyy too many mods for this Civic to make that idea happen. I might just have to buy a dyno myself at that point lol

[@MrRangerZr1]

@@milanmastracci like bolt on stuff, like downpipes before after, intake before after, etc. I’m assuming you’re staying N/A.

[@milanmastracci]

With the engine swap I'm doing, the cylinder heads are totally different so I can't just do simple power upgrades a bit at a time. For the head swap, I'm changing out my bottom end, cams, VTC actuator, intake manifold, exhaust manifold, valves, porting, etc. It I was staying with a more traditional build by going FBO, then I would be able to do that.

[@justinmosqueda5454]

I have test pipe cold air & street tune how much do yall think im making I haven’t done a dyno so idk but what do yall think

[@redlinenissan372]

Those ninth gen civics are very reliable it’ll be a good platform for you to work on, kinda want one now but I already have a genesis 2.0t and a Mazda Rx8 lol 😂

[@matth6284]

I really like this guy

[@xconankunx4530]

Did not hear the vtec crossover, what engine is this?

[@kfitfactry]

If you have to ask then obviously you need to watch his other videos common. 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@mattramsey5080]

From what I’ve been told, that dip in the graph is caused by the limitations of the stock manifold.

[@brandon_buildsDIY]

I can definitely see the 05-06 rsx type S wheels being collectible n the future

[@milanmastracci]

They're up there for some of the best OEM Honda/Acura wheels!

[@yr612p]

I was actually considering throwing my brother's 04 TL's wheels (pretty much the same design) on my Si, but didn't have another point of reference. They look sick!

[@Rottieez]

Keep the 9th gen civic content!

[@johnplaid648]

Will Toyota or Honda have a 2021 - 2022 vehicle with a manual transaxle?

[@YBTheFinesseKid]

Is there a reason you went Ktuner over hondata. Most tuners prefer hondata for 9th gens and people who start off with k tuner end up switching to flashpro.

[@milanmastracci]

There is indeed a reason, but you'll see why in a later video. There are a bunch of differences between the two. I was planning on making a video strictly about that question you're asking now lol

[@miguelrivera6002]

Milan did you ever test fit the k series head studs in the k24z3 because I am semi following your build for a kswap integra but i keep hearing the k series head studs dont fit and I was supposed to use gsr head studs

[@milanmastracci]

Working on it as we speak :)

[@mrs_radrod]

When is the next update video on the engine. Just found your channel and love the content. Lots of great insights for someone who isn’t familiar with the k-series. Looking forward to swap my own car so I really want to see how your engine build is completed. Thanks for the great videos.

[@milanmastracci]

Very soon! I have one video coming out early this week prior to getting working with the engine internals

[@davidgreen2055]

whats going on with the civic

[@coreyburns2074]

So these are about 20 hp underrated so they make about 225 hp stock !!! Which is not bad for a 2.4 L na 4 cylinder

[@alcoyot]

Huh? Why do you say that when it got 180 Hp?

[@bamaboyburns8079]

Civics are underrated for example my 2011 bone stock civic si is advertised at 197 hp but I got it dynoed and it made 181 hp to the wheels which is about 215 220 hp to the crank because most 8th gens have about 220 to the wheels with fbo if the factory numbers was correct that means bone stock they make about 160 to the wheels fbo is not gonna give you 60+ hp so therefore the numbers are higher than advertised probably for insurance purposes

[@yadu9576]

Great fan of u bro❤️ Love from india

[@motorvidz101]

Been a long time subscriber but KZbin app wasn't letting me see your videos. Only now have they came up. Do another flip video like the A4 audi you done a while back

Thanks Victor! I'm happy to hear that 👊

[@austin123456456]

Why didn’t You go with a Hondata flashpro ??

[@k24z7_]

It's pretty sad that my FBO 9th gen with RBC RDX injectors and Acuity intake only made 210 on this dyno

[@milanmastracci]

What kind of power were you expecting? Making 20% more power while staying NA sounds pretty good to me IMO. To give you context, after getting my Z to be FBO, I made 22% over the stock power figure. The issue with these K24Z7 engines is the head design and lack of dual VTEC, hence why I'm doing my build.

[@lindaover9764]

I have to agree. Good power you made

[@cammando117]

JWT C2 Cams on the 370z next? 30 plus wheel torque 3k RPM

[@milanmastracci]

You have no idea how many times I've almost pulled trigger on them lol I have some other mods to do first before I give it more power 👍

[@cammando117]

@@milanmastracci never ending projects, 750 USD is expensive, i unfortunately do not posses the skill and since they require the removal of the timing cover I also wanted to the the EPS oil gallery gasket and the suckerpunch oil pump so that I can rev to 8k to stay in the Power Band longer especially with cams.

[@Pete0126]

Only need 4wd/awd if you live in rural areas, any urban area fwd+snow tires is fine. Especially with lsd and manual, no issues in city.

[@milanmastracci]

I'm yet to have any issues. As Ricky mentioned, with an LSD and snow tires, you won't ever get stuck unless you literally try to go off roading with it, but then your ride height will be your limiting factor.

[@nationaliste007]

Actually fwd is great in snow...bcuz of engine weight on traction tires

[@jessg.9368]

With basic bolt ons, injectors and a good pro tune, this will make 221Hp ..

Lmao Fr tho and different size wheels hecka modded

[@daynerampersad8968]

hey milan you should swap this motor into your accord with an actual tune for your exhaust and intake that you have on the accord

[@milanmastracci]

That would be sweet! The stock engine in this Civic is barely different to the one found in my Accord. I wouldn't really make any gains, unless I go all out with it lol

[@نسيمالجنوب-و7ظ]

Good morning sir Sir I want to request you to make a video about if the road mud and we have car with manual transmission How we get out from mud without car off or spinning

[@notsure7874]

Wow. Now I see why you turned off the comments on the double clutch video... Nothing but a muffler delete and wheel size change - yeah that's not going to do anything. And a tune got you a whole 3-4 hp? HP can change that much just from atmospheric condition fluctuation during a day. I'm not really sure what you expected but whatever that canned tune is - it's snake oil. Wasted a bunch of money for nothing.

[@gordocarbo]

Exactly. Gains were Nick$. Hard to improve on what the factory does they hire some smart people

[@Robin-kg1yv]

This video is like saying, hey guys before I start modding my 370z, I'm going to dyno my accord to see what it does stock before I mod my 370z. What purpose does it serve to dyno a random motor that you aren't even going to use as a "base line".

[@milanmastracci]

I'm getting an idea as to how much power the engine makes, so that I can see if it was really worth it after I swap the other one in. If this engine makes 200, and the one I swap into it makes 220, I wouldn't really call that worth it at all. 🤷‍♂️
