Some people judge a car by doing test drive, some judge their money spend on a dyno chart to justified their money spend. For me, dyno chart is just an indication, like my tuner told me, higher hp and torque doesn’t always represent much if the driver don’t know how to handle and adapt to it. Right now I am in a mood to fall in love with my new ride.

Back to the dyno chart, I am actually very happy with the result, as I only expecting 180-190hp and will be very happy about it.

Anyway I am a not tech person who is still learn very much. So please pardon me if I say anything wrong.

About this dyno chart.

Tuner VisWork – Anthony Hong

ECU used HKS V Pro Version 3.1 with Camcon H

Camcon A/F function was not used at all.

Other modification can we view at my previous post!

Thanks to VisWork and Anthony Hong my tuner! Even though my car is their first 2006 Civic FD2 to be tuned with HKS V Pro, they still exercise their vast amount of tuning knowledge and breakthrough all difficulties to get my ride on the dyno machine. The process was not simple as some tuner might say ” why need so long”, just some sour grape saying etc, but they forgotten when they just started tuning a new car with new wiring, with new pin out diagram etc, didn’t they spend many sleepless night too. Furthermore, I can’t believe tuner who don’t understand or can’t tune HKS ECU are thick skin enough to say that.

Will post more picture about they dyno process soon. Been very busy with work so still can’t find time to process the photos and upload it here yet.

Welcome your comments, more comments more picture!

Cheers!

Information About This 2006 Honda Civic Lighten Crank Pulley!

Material Use

All pulleys are built using High quality 6061-T6 aircraft aluminum and are easily 50% to 60% lighter than steel or cast iron OEM pulleys. Weight 500g ( 75% Weight reduction) Original Crank Pulley is 2089g

More information about T6 aluminum at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6061_aluminum#6061-T6

Advantages:

Lighten and Underdrive crank pulleys are designed to slow down engine accessories and reduce parasitic loss.

Crank pulleys, attached to the outside of the crankshaft, are the source of power for a car’s accessories. The alternator, power steering, water pump, and air conditioner are all belt driven units, attached to the crank pulley, that use horsepower from an engine to provide their own services.

This draw of power by these accessories is called parasitic loss.

Underdrive crank pulleys increase an engine’s horsepower by reducing the power required to drive these external accessories.

By replacing factory pulleys with carefully resized units, the accessories are slowed enough so that their performance does not suffer, but just enough so that more horsepower is sent to the wheels and put to the ground. Where horsepower should be!

The R&D team at Viswork is dedicated to developing underdrive crank pulleys that provide great gains for track days and continue to deliver proper accessory output for everyday street use.
Other Benefits: benefit from increased accessory life on the street, and also deliver better mile-per-gallon fuel efficiency.

Compatible for both Manual and Auto 2006 Honda Civic Si FD2

This pulley come with 2 Version

Version 1 Same size as stock but the weight is reduce by 75%. Since it has the same diamension as the original Honda stock crank pulley, there isn’t a need for you to change the belt.

Material Used

According to the manufacturer of these pulley, the material is aluminium t6,
For your information you can refer to here
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6061_aluminum#6061-T6

6061-T6

T6 temper 6061 has an ultimate tensile strength of at least 42,000 psi (290 MPa) and yield strength of at least 35,000 psi (241 MPa). In thicknesses of 0.250 inch (6.35 mm) or less, it has elongation of 8% or more; in thicker sections, it has elongation of 10%. T651 temper has similar mechanical properties.

Uses

6061 is widely used for construction of aircraft structures, such as wings and fuselages, more commonly in homebuilt aircraft than commercial or military aircraft. [2]

6061 is used for yacht construction, including small utility boats. [3]

6061 is commonly used in the construction of Bicycle Frames and components. The Cycling industry also uses 7005 and 7075 aluminium alloys.

Welding

6061 is highly weldable, using tungsten inert gas welding. Typically, after welding, the properties near the weld are those of 6061-0, a loss of strength of around 80%. The material can be re-heat-treated to restore -T4 or -T6 temper for the whole piece.

Extrusions

6061 is also an alloy used in the production of extrusions—long constant–cross-section structural shapes produced by pushing metal through a shaped

Actually I wanted to try something new, D2 coilover kit.More information can visit http://www.d2racing.com/ Anyone hs tried D2 Coilover on Honda Civic Si FD2 before, if so please comments on it. I am actually looking for a suspension that can adjust the suspension height. While doing my research, I realise that D2 racing suspension can also adjust my camber degree alignment. They call it the Pillow Ball Top Mount.

This image was copy from their Taiwan website

Anyone know where to get this in Singapore? How much is it?

I guess I will be using this D2 suspension since it is an all in-one which I don’t need to buy camber kit to do my alignment. Anyway know the advantage and disadvantage of using Pillow Ball Mount Suspension for Honda Civic or any car?
