Our kit will utilize a 3" OD cold side hard pipe with integrated methanol injection bung to replace the factory ~2.4" ID rubber hose to increase airflow and engine bay aesthetics. The kit will come standard with a factory diameter hot-side hose upgrade to maintain velocity and turbocharger spool. All supplied hoses are constructed of multi-ply high temperature silicone to increase durability and are "stepped" to promote smooth, laminar airflow. This kit also eliminates the factory charge pipe resonator, which increases audible turbocharger noise. Stay tuned for more updates!
Baseline Dyno Testing Our 11th Gen Honda Civic Si
Right off the bat, we can see that the 11th Gen is making considerably more peak horsepower. At peak horsepower, we are seeing a maximum difference of 19WHP and 20WTQ. This is due to Honda’s utilization of a twin scroll turbo (this term can be used loosely, we'll discuss this at a later date), dual port head, and the current generation having VTEC on the intake and exhaust side, which allows the head to flow much better at high rpm. This is also demonstrated by the horsepower and torque bump at peak boost, around 4200 RPM, whereas the 10th Gen torque curve begins to dramatically fall off as RPM increases.
