what is my choice?i want more power

[HondaCivicEx98]

right now i have JRSC 6 psi on my 98 civic.
after a year or so, i got a liitle used to the power and now i want more.
what is the easiest way to get more out of my m45 and yet still riliable and pass smog.
i live in Cal, so i concern smog as well.
I thought about endyn, but 17 psi sound way to high for stock internals.
If anyone have more details about the D series, let me know
thanks

10psi is about maximum for a stock engine.

Sorry for the mis information on the stepper. Wacked my head today at work and now have a small concussion. Probaly should not post tips until I can think clearly

Have you thought about water injection. It allows you to return your timing to stock or better.

Also, do you have cam gears? It's usually best to adjust the cam gears on a dyno but they definetely help. I believe 228GSR gained 14hp from his cam gears(correct me if I'm wrong Frank).

What about a high flow cat?

There's plenty of ways to squeeze a little extra power out, you just need money.

[228GSR]

It was only 10hp But I'll be going back to try and squeeze some more out of it soon.

228gsr:

I'm waiting till after i install and tune my injectors, before I hit up the dyno again.

Since I've been butt dyno'ing a few combinations...i was curious if i could try your combo as well What in/ex settings gave your setup 10whp?

thanks

Stepper pulley won't work on your 989-200 kit. You need to replace either the crank pulley or the blower pulley for more psi.

Keep in mind that to safetly move up in boost you are going to need at a MINIMUM the following items:
-larger injectors
-higher capacity fuel pump
-Cartech FMU
-J&S Ultra
-3.25" blower pulley

Can the Civic's use the stepper pully? I don't think so 'cause the blower pully and altenator pullly are in-line with each other and use the same belt. Wouldn't the stepper pully cause a misalignment problem?

Get the endyn mods to your blower before cranking up the boost. The blower's output will be cooler and you'll get more cfm's with the same pully. If your not sure about this mod, call endyn and ask if it's for you.

Good luck.

HAHAHA......RIC, finally tired of the "D" too, huh? Man you not going to like this, but B/H-series MOTOR SWAP!!!!! If ya serious about upgrading the M45, then you really need to send her off to Endyn. Like Tom said, just don't use the 3.0 pulley supplied by Endyn. Get with Hooper(phil), but I think after the modification max boost w/ 3.8 pulley changes from 6psi.
