T. White slow si build

[kb91hatch]

I bought her back a couple months ago with the full intention of keeping it bone stock. Well that didn't last very long at all.

Delivery day, I was fortunate enough to be the tech that did the pdi on it also.

Current Mods:
Power:
Rv6 downpipe
Rick spec'd 3.5 sri
Zdx throttle body

Suspension:
H&r sport Springs
Beaks lower tie bar

Drive train:
Buddy club sts with limited black a spec knob
Hybrid base bushings
Prl ss clutch line

Body:
30% tint
De badged civic emblem
Honda oem splash guards
Ex lx under body splash shields




Then came the short throw shifter. I went with buddy club sts and the hybrid racing shifter base bushings.



I was happy with the overall handling and ride quality so I only wanted a small drop. I decided to go with h&r sport Springs. It made a small improvement in handling, but this was mainly for looks.





Then went with the rv6 catless downpipe!


Compared to the stock piece

The rv6 downpipe installed


I got bored and ordered the lower splash shields from the ex and lx model.

Before


After


Got the flashpro and just ran a hondata base map for now with the secondary o2 disabled


Got a beaks lower tie bar from an 8th gen and modified my rear under panels/diffuser to work with it.

During


Installed, with a little added security due to losing the right side mounting point.



Finally got my tints done 30% all around, that's the legal limit around these parts.

that white is such a nice colour on an si

 

[kb91hatch]

Thanks, she is coming along. I have a couple parts on order and some waiting to be installed. White is my favorite color in the si!

how was installing that lower engine shield from the other models? did it fit right into spot of your SI or did you have to do some modification to make it fit?

It fit right into place. No modification needed. Just order the piece from Honda and the clips and you will be good!

 

[greene907]

probably help with better gas milege ide guess too

 

[kb91hatch]

This is the part number, just get the clips also. You don't need the 10mm bolts. They are already in your car!

That I can't confirm. I did it because the intake I am getting has a battery relocation and I wanted to keep debris away from it on the frame rail.

i was looking at the rv6 down-pipe too for my car, but it seems like everyone here recommends the full race or the ultimate racing dp

 

[kb91hatch]

I love the rv6 I was going to go full race but decided on the rv6 catless. I am very satisfied with my decision

 

[greene907]

got it installed, its awesome, defiantly a awesome addition, its weird that the si's don't come with them, it cant be a weight savings thing cause the shield only weighs a few pounds

Yea I was thinking the same of why they don't have them. It's a great little addition that's for sure. And not expensive at all!

 

[kb91hatch]

This came yesterday! Rick spec'd 3.5 inch intake with battery relocation tray and 3.5 in straight through coupler! Zdx throttle body and adapter comes in Wednesday, so install day is Thursday and tuning Friday! Super excited!


A quick idea of how massive it is

Build is coming along great. Tuning will really open it up.

Thanks mate, I can't wait to get everything on. The porting of the stock inlet is going to be fun haha just gotta take my time and do it right. I hopefully will be doing the tuning, or at least learning more on tuning next Friday!

 

[greene907]

ya I went with the k&n intake and im pretty happy with it, nothing crazy as far as gains but it defiantly sounds meaner specially when vtec hits, I want to go down pipe then get it tuned

 

[kb91hatch]

I love my downpipe, but I am going for large gains. I hope to hit 210whp with what I have and a good tune. But basically getting her ready for the ct-e stage 2!

 

[kb91hatch]

Got the zdx throttle body in today along with the Rick spec'd intake, and prl ss clutch line.



The zdx is so big haha




All done!


I am currently just running a base map from my tuner. But next Thursday I will post up the tune results! As for now it feels great, haven't put a solid pull on her yet. But a little whistle on acceleration.
