check out the performance box and driftbox also by racelogic.

they cost about a grand but have almost the same features as the VBOX.

just not as accurate. speeds are .1kph instead of .01kph.

still pretty good!

the yellow civic you posted up is an eg6.

MILLIONS of aftermarket parts for them.

if you get bored of the power, swap it out for type r b18c. bolts straight in 200hp. change the gearbox to type r (helical lsd). put prelude front discs on for stopping quick.

then take your pick for ...

hondata auto tune explained:

http://www.hondata.com/featuresautotune.html

its pretty rough but will be good enough to get it driving without blowing a motor to bits. i dont think i would want to try it on a boosted motor but you could drive around to a dyno without using the boost. it also doesnt change the timing.

Why? there are 4 cyl cars that can run with the rotors.

you state making the headers longer is for moving the HP up the RPM range
however all the evidence says not....
like your theories or dyno graphs? cause your theory is good but the dyno says otherwise.

and wtf does cam duration have to do with resonant length. the RPM is the only thing that changes the timing of the exhaust pulses from one cylinder to another. if you have more or less cam duration the exaust valves still only open at 90 degrees after eachother.

dude, 99% of everything in a car is to do with packaging....


what about on a race car where every last horsepower is accounted for and they still use long headers?
