Its 127hp at the crank. With the loss of about 20 hp, give or take at the wheels.

Thats not BAD on what you Dyno'd though really. Its nothing to really brag about without the spray but I wouldn't kick yourself in the @ss over it. Just stick with it and keep building on it and get to where your happy. If your looking for major Hp/tq gains, I think you might need another car haha. Thats why I have 3 civics and finally Im going to get an Evo for some Hp gains and Im just a fan of the looks and AWD with it.

Any pics of your car or engine bay?

 

it is the y8 it the ex and i looked to make sure someone did swap motor on me...but i can see 105 to 110 with i/h/e but i was thinking with runin that high of a compression i should get a little more out of it. wear and tear i really dont see it could but it has new piston, ring, and rods. did a compression check all 4 are between 205 and 210, hadnt had time to do a leak down on it yet. i could be losein power for head didnt have it checked out when i was rebuilding the motor, but been doin alot of looking on line and thinkin about get the head packages from gude.com new poted and polished head, new valve, ported intake manifold, ported throttle body, and cam, but it like 1500$

 

I dont know of ANY manufacturers that rate power at the wheels..

 

That doesn't sound too bad for being at the wheels on an older EX.

Have you installed a flow-thru cat yet? That might be choking the rest of your exhaust a little.

After my turbo build I'm planning on dynoing my d16y8. I'll post some info when i get it. might be up to 12 weeks from now.

 

it has a ebay test pipe on it

 

That doesn't sound bad to me. Drivetrain loss is always more than people expect.


you're wrong
