VTECFRED 500+HP Build

[VTECFRED]

So like most I started out with a cold air intake, ran a catless exhaust, then ran a larger exhaust, then bought flashpro, then that was it time to get serious. Like most once you feel power from an upgrade you get addicted to experiment with different tunes different settings to get MOAR POWER.

I dynoed on a Dyno Dynamics and a base flashpro map with CAI, and exhaust but only made 177HP because it was untuned and way rich. Like 11.9:1 LOL that was FAIL! All you have to do is read

So I started learning how to adjust the fuel map with FlashPro and found a lot of other settings that help make more power HA! Imagine that!

After watching YouTube videos of boosted Civics and seeing those RPM's rev to fuel cut faster than I thought was possible... Yeah it was time to BOOST LOL

I started out with a smaller turbo build I pieced together consisting of a top mount log manifold and a small turbo like .63 AR turbine and .60 AR compressor. Modified my stock fuel injectors and started street tuning and ended up with 344HP on the same Dyno Dynamics.

When I couldn't get anymore power from those mods I decided to look at what I needed for more. My friends said "Dude you have a problem" I agreed with them... I don't have enough boost!

I did the whole build myself
(other than the machine work such as boring and honing the cylinders and fitting the oversized valves).

I welded my own intercooler brackets and welded my own 3" stainless exhaust. I tore down and reassembled the whole motor myself in my garage. I surprised myself when it actually started the first time HEHE

And it now has over 4000 miles on the motor

The only way I was able to do this myself was I had the service manual in PDF form for torque specs and reassurance I was putting things back where they go

I pulled the motor out in January 2012 and finished April 27th 2012

I love this build. Very well documented, great setup. Puts the 8th gens up on the list!! Btw, what fitting did you have to use on the fuel rail to incorporate the OEM fuel line on the feed side? I need to figure it out.

Thank you!

If you're talking about the line up against the firewall I used the factory clip with the hose adapter and all(green clip black hose end and gray cover). The factory fuel line adapter has a barb fitting under the hose. I cut the stock hose off and slid the An6 fuel line over it. I used a fuel injection fuel line clamp to clamp it to the barb. I can post a picture tomorrow.

I am installing a full fuel return system tomorrow. If there wasn't already a how to out there on how to do the fuel return system I would do one.

Well, you know what they say... The more the merrier! If you could snap that shot for me, that would be greatly appreciated

I installed a fuel return system Friday night. It took me 15 hours to install it LOL I don't know why but it did. I also changed my oil HEHE




I was running 10.9:1 AFR between 7krpm and 8200rpm I did not have time to get my fuel map perfect. I was up all night Friday installing fuel return 1pm to 4am. And Saturday I tuned a little bit but did not have time until about 12am I stayed up until 6am doing street pulls. I went to bed at 7am and got back up at 9:30am to head to dyno day.

I love dyno days!! :woowoo:

Here you go. Fuel return line. I actually have -AN6 braided fuel line now. This was fuel injected rubber line I was using as a feed (SAE30R9 is rated to 100psi).

If anyone ever wondered why their fuel line busted it was probably the SAE30R7 which is only rated for 50psi.
