2005 S2k vs 2008 civic si sedan
Not typical thread.
I'm the driver of the civic si. Buddy has the 05 AP2.
I've been wanting to get a race with him since i got my accessport.
civic si mods: skunk2 race header, skunk2 70mm exhaust, AEM CAI, 10lb flywheel (stock 14.5lbs) underdrive pulleys, accessport reflash stage 2 (mostly midrange powergains)
S2000 mods: gutted airbox, Tanabe Concept G exhaust
We went from 50 mph, both in 3rd gear. and.... we were dead even until i failshifted into 4th and he started pulling until around where he had to shift to 5th except i could keep revving out to 8600. So i pulled most of it back then we stopped.
Just so you guys know what you're getting into if you have a pretty much stock s2k, this is what you can expect.
I don't have a custom tune with the accessport yet.
This is also why i wonder how the hell all you people talk about pulling buslengths on i/h/e kpro rsx's. Then again, i have a badass header, and those rsx's probably had a DCRH lol.

^^ i'm a little past bolt-on considering i have a Cobb Accessport and lightweight flywheel as well.
Also, he's not a bad driver. That's a pretty stupid assumption.
When you start in the same gear, floor it, and noone pulls, exactly how can it be so hard to floor the gas.
Like i said, i don't even have a custom tune yet.
THIS IS A BASE-MAP.
For reference and comparison, i can walk g35's. I've raced a couple already and walked right past both in 3rd and pulled pretty good in 4th. Also one 350z so far as well.
my car = not slow.
I can guarantee they weren't 06+ though.
But anyways, i don't get why you would even say that, because i didn't say i won. I didn't get it in 4th and he started pulling pretty good, but the extra 400 rpms in 4th let me rev out to 111 mph instead of 104

How much did all those parts cost for your si to keep up with the stock s2k?
(note trying to make a point here I am truly curious)
(note trying to make a point here I am truly curious)
Skunk2 exhaust: 450
Cobb Accessport: 722
AEM CAI: 250
Lightweight flywheel/clutch: 500
Underdrive pulleys: 220
Total: 2802 dollars
O_o sucks don't it
The accessport has more potential in it though. As i said before, all i have on there is a basemap.
The tune is free, due to the accessport being brand new a shop is custom tuning for free.
BTW, the Tanabe concept G exhaust sounds awesome.

I would love to run into a civic modded like yours. I have ran stock ones and it has been a blood bath. My girlfriend and I test drove one for her (a stock 09) and man stock it feels so sluggish. Sluggish or not i loved it lol, they are really nice.

stock ones are slow.
I run away from intake/exhaust civic si's like nothing.
bloodbath as you put it.
If they don't have at least full bolt-ons, i will walk 3+ car lengths real fast.
Most of it came from the header i have on there.
Look up the skunk2 06+ civic si header on their website. it's glorious.

Damn man N/A is freaking expensive; at least your motor is more responsive than ours when it comes to N/A. Once I learn more about F/I; i'm going to be spending most of my resources on the dark side we love to call "boost".
