I want to know who has the most torque & whp out of a EW3/4 -
D15a2/3 84-87 CRX SI-84-87 CIVIC SI in the world? At the Tuner today I made 224.55 whp 224.4 torque at 17psi on my 86 CRX SI. with a stock camshaft! This is a fully built engine with Arias pistons, Pauter rods, Cometic metal headgasket and Endyn block posts. The Garett GT25r turbo is runing at 17 psi boost. The engine should be able to handle more boost because ive run 15 psi with a stock bottom end for years.

I would bet it is you lol.. Man I want to see that sucker, but in the same time I don't. It will make me catch BOOST fever again.

Why it's you Mr. Sawchuk who has the most horsepower in the world!

Try 30psi and see what happens....

I Know your just being a Hater what do you think would happen at 30 psi on an unsleeved block? Ive worked hard every night for over 10 years with blood sweat and tears and im proud of what ive done. It takes you only second to to heckel what ive done.

I know that you dont live that far away from me. Ill come by and visit if thats ok?

i like seeing these posts. as there are people out there tring to fix up the old orginal engine for power instend of swaping in a bigger engine.

me an my buddy are working in turboing a 87 hatch an a 86 crx, the diff thogh is we are CARBED. i was running a year ago on 6psi till i blew a gasket. i also have a fully built ew2 engine built for turboing. i hope to get my car up to 200hp, right now im pushing 103hp. my buddys will be itresting as his is fully stock. an a bigger turbo then mine.

I'm a hater. WOW! Thanks for letting me know that. I never would have guessed that.

[P-Tail]

out of curiosity roughly how much have you invested in getting that much power?

[BigOrange]

I would have to say that everyone associated with mugen would have to tip their hats to you. I dont think anyone else has been brave enough to build a high power Ew. I think most people just kinda flock to the twin cam swaps.

I would vote that you are at the top of the list for highest power Ew!

Thats pretty good...I went b series though, so I can't be of much help on my end...

[cbstdscott]

Wow....

Do you break axles?

Those are definitely impressive numbers for a (street driven?) EW engine. But you used a Turbo...

I know a few guys that have built normally aspirated EW's (granted, these are NOT for the street) that get close to those numbers. As a matter of fact, I could buy one of them today if I felt like spending several thousand dollars on it.

wondering what some of you might have gotten from your N/A EW's!

wondering what some of you might have gotten from your N/A EW's!

Numbers from dynos will vary, the same engine could have as much as a 10% difference in numbers produced by different dynos. Toss in environmental differences and it is hard to compare what an engine in California is making on Dyno "A" to what an different engine is making on Dyno "B."

But with that said... My N/A D15A3 has been measured at 99 whp AND it passes California smog inspection!

Sawchuk, so what happened with your experiment with the larger intercooler pipes and throttle body? You never gave us an update.

To answer your question, a guy in SoCal (White CRX) made 260whp in his EW when he bent the stock rods (w/forged pistons). He then put in some Cunningham forged rods and cranked up the boost even more. IDK how much more power he made. This was in about 1994. He started out running an HKS kit and was still using the HKS exhaust manifold w/a T28 (or some hybrid of it) w/DFI for fuel injection. IIRC RPS built the motor. The car ran 12.08 in the 1/4 mile in Palmdale in the mid/late 90's at a Battle of the Imports event. I know it had a Mugen LSD in it too. I also remember that a few guys in Puerto Rico were making more than 230whp around that time too.

I never did dyno my first turbo setup EW. I did however Kill my firends 96 Z28 & My buddies 97 Saleen Speedster, a modded b16 powered HF 2nd gen.

Its amazing how well these engines do with boost. My Homemade setup was DX manifold, DSM sidemount intercooler made front mount,HF half radiator, Td04 running off wastegate @ 11PSI., MSD 6AL,integra injectors and ECU,Tetra Fish tank 1 way valvesx2 to fool the map sensor. It ran silky smooth and quiet as can be. I still have the actual setup in my garage lol.

This was all before I even knew about RPR. It was our first dive into a homemade turbo and turned out great!
