Ok here is the deal. I was running up to Best Buy to pick up Transporter 2 because it is on sale today for $6.99. On the way up there I got to really test the performance out of my C&L and XCAL2. I was doing 35 mph on this straight away, no traffic to speak of except for a civic and a late 90's eclipse closing in on me fast. I estimated their rate of speed at about 60 or so and climbing. I let them pass me and tromped on it, I was pretty quick to catch up to them. We get to the light, and the eclipse is in front of me in the left lane and the civic is in the right lane. Both are turbocharged, they are revving up there engines so I knew it was on, and I was wondering if I was getting ready to write a check my @ss can't cash. I was sure I was going to spank the civic, not too sure about the eclipse. The light turns green, they launch and I am riding the civic's @ss like Sea Biscuit, the eclipse pulls ahead I change to the left lane and pass the civic then back to the right lane and pass the eclipse. Double Kill. I am going to have to start adding kill marks on my car now like our pilots did in WWII on their Mustangs and Corsairs.

nice, do you know if it was a GS-T eclipse? (older body style, the kind used in the original F&F turbo AWD). Easy way to tell is the BIG stupid handle spoiler on 2 generations ago's body (know your enemy). That's pretty impressive.
Civic being turbocharged, that's a rarity.
Either way, that's a good little run to the store.
There's an Evo on streetfire that has a bunch of decals with the auto manufacturer's logo with a big red X through it that he puts on his front left/right fenders for each person he kills. I thought about this, but it's kind of cocky for a lil ol 6 to do. Would be kind of sick to put H's and the three diamonds on your rocker panel, going from the front wheel back.
Heh, I'm one of the few people that won't yell at you for street racing on these boards
It was 2 gens back eclipse awd turbo, I had the same car but it was the Talon TSi. I knew how fast my Talon was, so I was kinda worried. The neighbor kid down the street has a turbo on his civic, I drove it and was not too impressed.

Very refreshing since I just instelled my C&L and X2 tune from Evolution.
Thank you for the instructions TS.
Question though, I did not disconnect the fan and fuel pump fuses as Evo said to in their instructions. anyone see w big problem with this? Should I pull them and re-flash?

no. since it's already installed you are fine. it is a precautionary task not required as you installed without doing it.

I never did that when I installed the AEM or the the C&L from Evo, and both turned out fine. I guess the only thing that can make those Econoboxes fast is the motorswap for the Type R motor (better low end, still bad, but better).
TSi's were fun, had a buddy that had one and he let me drive it often. I had a blast in that car.

You don't have to sweat the fuses, I was told not to sweat them either.

When Civics are turbo'd they really aren't that fast ( some of them). I mean there are some out there but when you got a motor that has 170HP at the crank, 150ish meybe to the wheels your only gunna get meybe like 220HP to the wheels if your lucky I would think, unless you have the internal's built up. I've seen some mean DOHC civics ( hatchbacks) that are all motor & keep right up along with me and the mods I have listed.
