Well, it's technically not smog legal, but it should pass. It would fail visual inspection because of the K-Pro, injectors, and smaller pulley. But the Smog tech should not notice those things unless they are really looking.

The big thing, is the tail pipe sniff test. Passing this is based more on the Tune you have in your K-Pro. I think it would pass this as long as the high flow cat does it's job.

Yeah, there is definitely some torque steer. It is manageable, but I need to definitely hold the wheel if I'm doing a WOT run.

Yeah, it was nice to meet you Justin! Man, your car is fast. I got a chance to ride in his S2000 and that thing was crazy fast!

He's putting down 380 hp and / 270 tq and when he would floor it, it would really put you back in your seat. It felt like you were warping through time or something

Justin, did you end up getting tuned by Shawn that day?

I have some mpg numbers.
I only use premium fuel. 91 octane is the max here in Cali. I've tried different brands gas and they all seem to produce similar mpg for me.

This is on a SC, with Hondata, and 9 psi boost 3.15" pulley

24-25 mpg 50% highway, 50% City. Driving normal, 85 mph on the freeway
20-22 mpg 100% City Driving
17-20 mpg (maybe even worse) Driving hard all the time.

Since going to Hondata, my gas mileage has actually increased. I'd say it has went up about 1-2 mpg. If I'm driving on the freeway at like 70 mph the whole time, I bet I could easily get over 25 mpg. I have trouble doing that though

This is on an 04 TSX with 115K miles. Keep in mind that the SC has a bypass valve. So when you are not on the gas, it is not adding any extra air and you can drive normally.
