Car was dyno'd after it was fixed my car laid down 268rwhp.
Mods:
Mild Street Port
Downpipe
Apexi Exhaust
Pettit ECU @ 11psi

11psi laid down 268rwhp on 91 octane =)

Also found another way to get my octane in my gas up. Chris from RP (Garland) told me to try to find a airport who has 100 octane low lead lucky enough there's a small airport in my city. I gave them a call and they do carry it and wouldn't mind selling me 2 galls of it and it's only 2.14 a gall compared to 91 oct which is now 2.45 here in Cali! Chris did the math with his equation and with 10 galls of 91 and 2 of 100 low lead my octane will be in the nieghborhood of 94! I will be starting this over the weekend!

So glad to have my car back now to find where that smoke is coming from by my turbo area I believe its a banjo bolt but I cleaned it all tonight and retighten the bolt it still smoked after a 5 min run, but it could be from the residue from earlier today so I will give it till tomorrow when I get home to see if I burned all the residure off.

 

sounds liek a good number to me... maybe a little low due to the street port, crank up the boost and see what she does!

 

did you forget MP? or does the apexi exhaust go all the way to the DP?

 

I have no MP. still stock =|

 

oh that answers it, get a midpipe... it makes all the difference

 

Derty,
Be careful someone is using "fuzzy" math. Ten gallons of 91 and two gallons of 100 octane gives you ~92 octane, NOT 94. If you want 94 octane use eight gallons of 91 and four gallons of 100 octane.

 

watch out if you get a midpipe boost creep is not your friend...

 

Nice numbers! A warning though: Using leaded gas will clog your cat and foul your O2 sensor. Also, 91 octane is just fine, especially since you are only running 11 psi. I only run 100 octane when I'm at a HPDE.

Some of us live in a state where emissions is not only required, but officers can pull you over to look under the car. A midpipe is a serious mod, whether many here treat it that way or not.

 

forgot about that :P

 

I couldnt deal with that...I would go crazy on a cop if they bitched at me about that. I would show them the emissions papers saying I past, an tell them to go catch that honda.

may god help you with those laws...

 

I do not know how he did his calculations but I believe he did not go by what you did 91x10 = 910 + 200 = 1110/12 = 92.5 he had a different calculation and I do believe him because he also did this for race applications and track usage instead of using Xylene (sp?) or that other mixture from Paint Stores. Told me this would be the best route in raising my octane.

Thanks for the comments really hoping I fixed my smoking problem around the turbo area because it really bothers me and my engine is only 4 days old ! Just really hoping tomorrow I burn off all the residue and it runs perfect. BTW I plan on 4 more mods and my engine will be done. Greddy or HKS Intakes, Greddy FMIC for twins, midpipe or bonez high flo cat. And of course the boost controller to stay at 12psi.

 

Nice dyno, I wanna get mine dynoed sometime soon!

 

would there be any ill effects in just running hte 100 octane byitsself? cause gas is climbing like crazy overhere now.

 

no problem as long as you dont have cats, also it will eventually burn out your o2 sensors, although its not as quick as people like to make it out to be.

 

I would believe so since is low lead and not unleaded I will only be doing the 2 galls to 10galls

 

Define "low lead". It will clog your cat and destroy your O2 sensor eventually. And there's really no benefit to running it daily unless you're running 15+ psi.

 

And cheaper than premium gas..

 

That would be Toluene (sp?)

No comment right now on the rest of it, there's a lot more to fuels than octane and if I see another person claiming race gas burns slower or has less energy I'll eat another serving of granola. Also always remember there are two test methods and 3 ways of reporting results, R or M or (R+M)/2.

nice numbers. now turn up the boost!

 

Thanks for posting. I am going to dyno my car next month and have a similar setup, so this gives me a reference point.
