you can hear the turbo spooling on mine :dunno:, but after higher rpm, the exhaust muffles it down. sc whine, it seems to annoy me after a while.

 

well, it's just like a kid. it's cute and fun to play with only if you don't own it h:

 

Hey enginjim, is that edelbrock turbo kit givin you 177 hp without the intercooler? Ok so a 2000 civic ex with 127 stock hp is only getting 50 more hp from 6-7 psi AND an intercooler? Just curious....

 

crucial, did you ever get the intercooler from ebay?
i need help installing mine

 

no i got one locally, i need to get endtanks put on them...that will be sometime this month, work has been slow, so i switched departments.

what are you having a problem with?

 

the biggest issue right now, is how to mount it up onto the bumper support. here is the tab

you may think there is alot of space between that tab and the outlet, but im having trouble figuring out how to tighten it to the bumper support with little room there

 

buy a couple big self tapping screws or bolts and use a socket wrench with a swivvle attached :dunno:

 

The Edelbrock Perfromer X kit comes with an intercooler. The 177hp number is at the wheels on a chassis dyno. The stock 00 Civic EX D16Y8 is rated at 127 hp at the crank, on an engine dyno. On a chassis dyno The Civic stock makes 105-107 hp at the wheels. So the power increase is 70 hp at the front wheels at 6.5-7psi. If you compare proportionally the chassis dyno numbers to the engine dyno numbers 177 hp at the wheels is 210 hp at the crank. Comparing by adding the power loss stock to the turbo "at the wheels" number the power would be about 197 hp. I would say that the power of the turbo kit at the crank would be between 197-210 hp.

Edelbrock is finishing up a D16Y8 engine right now to run on the engine dyno that will be able to handle as much boost as the Performer X will put out. When I find out the power numbers the kit makes at different boost levels I will publish that data. Soon Edelbrock's Open Track version of the Performer X kit will be available.

 

sounds good

 

"intercooler" All it does is spray water mist into the intake tract, like a nitrous kit, which lowers intake temps a bit, but doesn't help oil temp, coolant temp or underhood temps any. My roommate runs a aquamist water injection system plumbed in on the IC inlet charge pipe on his Saab, and it makes a very minimal difference, (like the difference between running on a 75 degree day v. a 90 degree day) and means you can't use your winshield sprayers. The JRSC would be good with a real, honest to goodness air to air IC.
