I mean it feels faster with just no mufflers at least a little because lack of back pressure even though people deny that. Plus muffler are like 80-100.pounds extra weight
Stock engine with 400hp? How long have you been running it at that power level?
Thank you so much for this documented video about your car. I’m also in a very similar situation, I originally got my 21 fk7 as a commuter car, but over time started adding more mods and wanted more power. I’m currently on a couple of bolt ons, flex fuel and making around 246whp from a Phearable 2.5R tune for my CVT. I’ve read countless forums, talked to many people, and this summer I plan on running a big turbo kit. Hearing the big turbo spool in your manual fk7 sounded so good, it makes me want to get one as well. Besides transmission issues, I understand that our rods are terrible, so if you were to ever push the power, I would suggest potentially swapping the rods to something stronger. I’m not sure if you upgraded your brake pads or not, but if you haven’t yet, I would also recommend doing so or even consider getting a big brake kit from 27won or retrofit genesis coupe brembos. If you’re making all of that power, it’s important to have enough stopping power as well.
Anyways, I really enjoyed watching the entire thing, it gives me a lot of insight for my fk7 as well.
Glad the video helped. I did forget to mention in the video that the rods in the L15BA in the hatch (59B) are weaker than the rods found in the L15B7 non Si and L15B7 si (5PA)
If you don't mind me asking, How much did you pay for the civic when you got it?
When I got the civic in 2018 used it was $19k
Hey do I feel these fk7s faster straight piped or with one cat instead of 2?
Sound like me more power more power and more power lol, that’s how i ruined my 8th gen tho, 😂
Lol yeah i probably won’t be spending anymore on this car power wise cause I’m at the point of diminishing returns. I’ll move on to a different platform power wise like an F22 m240i and just keep the civic on the side the way it is now.
@@d0mochi yeah bro i agree i went from all motor to supercharger, to turbo, to big big supercharger lmao all for power, iwas power hungry, civic kept blowing up i parted it out and got a Supra fuck that civic pissed me off 🤣🤣
@@JoshOn2Wheelss I would probably much happier with an 8th gen si with the engine having a higher threshold for power than this dinky L15B 🤣
@@d0mochi those are great for sure i just kept blowing my car up at 500hp even built motors lol
@@JoshOn2Wheelss I was under the impression those can handle the 500s stock. I guess maybe turbo in the 500s since supercharger also has a parasitic draw. Who was your tuner?
I think i've seen you before in vegas, car is very cool trying to get mine like yours
You have an fk7 as well? Hope to see you around
@@d0mochi Yeah a white one
@@shenron_cs what part of Vegas are you around at? Not sure if I seen your fk7 before.
Vegas local here. I have the same car also in a 6 speed. I really respect your build. It motivates me to do some light mods on my fk7. I was thinking Full exhaust and a light tune. Do you think that's safe enough for a stock clutch?
Your stock clutch will be ok until you start messing with ethanol. As long as you’re bot flooring it below 4000 rpm from 3rd gear and up.
@@d0mochi can you do these mods in just a CVT automatic and still get a lot of horsepower or you can only get a lot of horsepower out out of the manual
RV6 now offers a drop in for the 1.5L
Ive been beta testing their drop in for the FK8 which is the R660 and have had good luck with it so far - 566whp@7600 on 30psi e55
I think they make an R365 red for the L15
The biggest thing on these DI motors is the headstuds stretch as you up the dynamic pressure - even without knock the head will lift as the headstuds on the L15 are much wealer than the K20c1
Arp makes great headstuds and anyone wanting to really pound on their car should consider the cost of an upgraded headgasket, headstuds and valvetrain ....be able to run more boost/timing with less worries - also big turbo is safer than stock turbo as stock turbo spools so fast it can snap rods at 3k rpm easily.
On my FK8 I bring in max boost around 4800 to keep the rods happy (440ftlbs) the clutch slipped around 4200 where i could easily bring the power in but stock clutch held the power solid at 4800.
Youll always want more power - had a 2017 Si bone stock for years - decided for my goals the Type R made more sense sinking in tons of money. No regrets - just lots of spent money 😂
Keep the torque.below 300ftlbs and above 4000 and i think the motor should be ok. Torque down low kills motors/snaps rods/put holes in blocks. Top end power is safe power
Nice vid 👌
The R660 for the k20c is just a whole different animal for compared to the r365 for the L15. The r365 didn’t look like it made housing diameter changes or at least not much, it’s a good unit but I don’t think it was 400+ whp good. That’s why I ended up with a big frame turbo kit. If I had an FK8 no question I would get the r660.
@d0mochi full frame is always better just more upfront vs typical bolt-on riute that leads to drop in.
I'll be going full frame when u build the bottom end and aim for 800whp+
I think stock bottom end is iffy around 650whp
L15 with ported head, valvetrain and full frame should see 600whp - ososik keeps messing with nitrous which I would avoid but he's chasing a number so I get it.
I think a g25-660 on an L15 would be fun
I just muffler delete on fk7, and high flow air intake and 2.5 inch pipes from resonator to tips, I'm about to put a 3,inch front pipe on it
I've seen channels where the 10th gen Civic 1.5 l turbo especially the si gets 500hp+ . Now the 11thgen civics will blow the motor, their not as strong. .
The 11th gen civic L15CA have bigger rod bearing journals if anything it should be a tad bit stronger than the 10th gen L15B7
@@d0mochi nah, look up ososik, or put in 11thgen si vs. 11thgen type r. The 11thgen si motor blew while being tracked when pushed.The guys will tell you they say the 10thgen is stronger because when they loaded the 11thgen up with power 300+ with power flex fuel kit and all, it blew the motor. But with the 10thgen Civic si they loaded it up with 500+ horsepower and it lasted even while it being tracked. So they came to a conclusion that the 11thgen Civics appears weaker. Now the 11thgen type r year that's powerful, it's made to push.
@@LynnDisclose a 300 hp L15 which is probably on ethanol stock turbo, 10th gen or 11th gen will blow especially on a road race course. I hope you realize how hard it is on the engine to be road raced where it’s constantly being beaten on the whole few minutes it’s being raced including hard downshifts, you can’t compare that to Eman’s 10th gen Si making 460 whp on a stock engine that only does pulls here and there
@@d0mochi the 11thgen si I'm talking about was not stock turbo, I'm meaning fully modified cars 10thgen and 11thgen , but even ethanol on stock 10th gen will last longer. I'm saying on the 11th gen the power blew the motor more easily, but the 10th gen upheld the power without braking. Like some 10th gen get over 600 hp and the motor still not blown. It probably will happen, eventually, but the 11th gen blows way before all that power. But the 11thgen type r can be pushed and abused and won't brake.
@@d0mochi but they saying they working on a solution to make it hold all that extra power like the 10thgen, because like you say the rods on 11th gen suppose to be stronger than the 10th gen. I know if I get a 11thgen civic, it'll be the type r.
Where do you get the PRL turbo? Aren't they no longer being manufactured?
Got it used around last year. This was PhongVLG’s old turbo kit
@@d0mochi Damn I thought you just installed it like this 2023. I was like where can I get it? Hmmmm it's going to be hard finding one. I really wanted catless downpipe to see how loud it is. Lol
There’s some used kits floating around, saw one on civicx forums for a 2860r and it was a good deal.
You have a front pipe or down pipe?
I’m using the down pipe that came with the PRL turbo kit and a stock front pipe
The turbo kit i cant find
Sadly, you might have to look around for a used kit. Mine was used as well.
How much power you making?
Haven’t dynoed but my guess will be around 320 whp. Car is still on the non Si fuel system.
@@d0mochi gotcha sick ride bro 😎
Love this fk7!! 😭❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Your FC1 is better 😍
nice video, what’s the green looking thing on the rims ?
Just the wheel decals. I think they come with red by default
How do you not get drone,?
Type R OEM exhaust is very quiet
Is the civic still holding up sir?
The civic is fine. But I parted out and sold some of the parts including the turbo kit.
@@d0mochi my gosh, why did you do it? You back to stock?
@@LynnDisclose yeah just back to stock. Possibly selling the car.
@@d0mochimy gosh, why though?
@@d0mochi you getting the new type r?
