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
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
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.
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
@@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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
If tuned, they will increase mileage as they increase efficiency of the engine. Assuming your driving habits remain constant. You will want to floor it more often to feel the power though so it may go down but it’s worth it
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
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 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
@@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
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.
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 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
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
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
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
@@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
@@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
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!
@@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!
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.
@@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
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
