Hondata

the si has been shown to limit around 130-140. i forget which it is. searching on youtube for si videos, u can find a video showing and testing the limiter.

i haven't started yet, just have a mental picture of how to do it. by the way, X will stop taking orders and corsport will begin selling them now i guess.

Do you have any pics of your progress? Also that crv tube i found costs a little over 50 bucks from honda.

here it is:

most of the important info is at the end of the thread. but reading from the beginning helps with the science of why X's intake works.

there is a thread going on right now started by a guy named JZILLA that is picking up pretty good. i mean, its not a diy by any regards, but definitely something to start from if ur looking to do the maf mod yourself. im studying the thread and some of X's old threads, and i think i have a decent ...

yep, i've been following on X's inake as well. most of my info i've just stated a couple posts ago were based on his research. im looking to do it but waiting for more info on a diy.

i think this is where it gets tricky right: since the reflash requires at least an intake (cai or sri) or a rh. the stock ecm seems to run rich with cai and i think lean with sri, therefore, the stock a/f calibrations wouldn't be optimal, am i right? to compensate a good a/f ratio for all types of ...

oh i see, thanks, another quick one by the way since im a noob: what is cam angle/timing?? i know its like overlap between the intake and exh. valves opening and shutting but how does that create power??? any thing would help.

sorry dont mean to thread jack but hey hondata, how come the reflash for the 06 si doesn't advance ignition timing like the rsx type s reflash???

alright, thanks.

hondata, have u guys heard of X's intake( it utilizes oem intake parts w/ a modified maf)? if so, do u guys think it'll help with that midrange richness then? i know he's shown several dynos but i wanna get ur take on this X intake. thanks.

hey guys, here are my dyno sheets for my 06 civic si. i was thinking about how the reflash doesn't do anything for a/f adjustments. However, with the reflash, do u guys think it'll smoothen out my richness in the midrange? the reflash will kick the vtec around where i start to run rich so i was ...

oh, ok, alright, so its the stock cams that are holding back the peak power from being any higher. therefore, so, is it safe to say that the si cam had quite a bit left to gain in the midrange and none left to gain up top since the reflash gives a ton of power in the midrange but only a little up ...

not trying to be a pest but why is more not better? why is the cam angle retarded at peak power, if it was advanced there, wouldn't there be more peak power to make. This is sort of the idea w/ all the kpro folks out there correct? make as much power as u can safely which means advance the cam ...

i was thinking, the reflash for the 06 si kicks vtec sooner than stock and also raises the rev limit. due to the advanced cam angles at 4500, vtec is established around 4500 rpm and continued to 5800, thereafter, the car functions like stock(in exception to the redline). now, my question is why not ...

have u guys done any testing with type r cams at all with the 06 reflash? just curious because i remember reading articles u guys did on a tsx motor w/ type r cams w/ reflash.
