The 8th generation honda si are one of the best generations of Hondas built. They will become classic car's one day soon and worth a lot of money. Beautiful car's with a lot of potential 👍

I’d have to agree! I’ve had multiple generations and these are awesome! Thanks for stopping by the channel!

Miss my 8 gen! I have a 6-6 accord now which I love, but it’s very nose heavy and heavy in general, the 8 gen was like a fwd miata!

@silverfg2 4 месяца назад

@@lunchonthehood5675 this fg2 actually replaced my v6 accord. It was an auto and as clean as the car was I wasn’t diggin’ the auto. If it was a 6/6 I would have never sold it!

Awesome man! I love those kits because of the noises they make 😆 I have a centrifugal style blower on my truck, from Pro charger. Thanks for the follow!

Thanks for the video! Happy to see someone local thats also enjoying their fg2! Ive been having issues shifting at 8k rpm going into second gear as well. I was told that replacing the clutch master cylinder wouldn't do much to eliminate the lockout/grinds at high rpm but now i want to do the upgrade after watching your video.

1st to 2nd in our 8th gens has always been a sus shift even in low rpms feel for me. I never tested it to 8k. I got in the habit of just get a nice rolling start and pull from 2nd or 3rd. And yes i have hybrid racing CMC

@JackstandDan 2 месяца назад

Yes it will I did the hard motion cmc kit and it literally unlocked my transmission , I could never get it into 2nd or 3rd it was straight locked out .. now I shift it off rev limiter no problem and I have been for 2 years now

Good stuff man! My FG2 also has the CT blower, I installed it at 60k miles and now it just hit 277k miles! Still running like a champ! I also have an ASP customer header, custom 3 inch mid pipe and mated to a Q300 muffler!

@silverfg2 Месяц назад

I reallllly wanna go bigger blower or built head. Really want to rev it out so might go with the built head.

@fidelj3025 Месяц назад

@silverfg2 you'll be limited to the blower rpm. You can do a light porting on the head and get Supertech 21D valve spring kit so that the valves don't float at higher rpms

@silverfg2 3 месяца назад

Thanks for watching! I bought the car with the blower but have spent a good amount of fixing it, the way it should have been done from day one. I think these kits go for 6-7k before supporting mods, plus tune, plus install.

@SolidFG2 2 месяца назад

Quick question, what kind of intake did you modify and if you mind telling how you modified it? If not I understand because I've also wanted to get cold air intake but never got one because of the wheel. Well as well. I was going to go with the k&n typhoon but I rather just stay it with a stock

@silverfg2 Месяц назад

It’s a skunk 2. I took a hand saw to it to shorten it 😆

@Shoto_Mist 3 месяца назад

i got fbo w j37 tb on my 06 fg2 right now. I plan on supercharging, probably kraftwerks. I was going to ask how was the torque with that blower but you mentioned it still trash. I was afraid of that, so now im focusing on k24 swap and then put the whine on. I drive like you nothing crazy, getting a lil vtec on 2nd gear pulls, or a nice 3rd gear pull into highway. But yea 5-10 over speed limit and yeah i hit 6th over 55

@silverfg2 3 месяца назад

@silverfg2 4 месяца назад

I don’t have any issue with vibration, but I don’t have solid mounts (I don’t think I do) however, that could be part of my traction issue.

@Shoto_Mist 3 месяца назад

I would upgrade motor mounts. However I have a vibration sound sometimes too but it's from my full race exhaust when in idle sometimes, comes and goes 🤷‍♂️
