REGISTRATION IS FULL
We love having our dyno day at the end of the season when the weather is a little cooler and everyone has had a full summer to play with their cars. So before you put it away for the season you can find out if your money spent this season netted any whp.
Autobahn Country Club was a great venue for this event as the track and facilities are top notch, but over the years the south course has gotten a little bumpy making it a little more challenging.
The car was great and fairly maintenance free all weekend. The tracks bumpy braking zones made it challenging for suspension dial in but after a couple sessions we were able to dial the car in where we felt there wasn’t a loss in handling ability.

This comparison was done to show the difference in the OEM turbo options and a good initial upgrade for the EvoVIII and IX. The CT9A chasssis came with a few different turbo configurations with a large improvement in 2006 with EvoIX the MHI-9-Turbo. Shortly after the 9-Turbo release Forced Performance took it another step furthur by offering their 9-Green Model using the 9-Turbo housings making it a direct bolt-on upgrade.
Congratulations to Andy and Valerie Lieber for winning their classes at the 2008 Tire Rack SCCA Solo2 National Championship! Andy took the win in “Street Modified” class, overcoming Jarrod Hoop’s first-day lead and taking the win by a close 0.008 seconds! Valerie led “X Prepared Ladies” class after the first day, and drove flawless on the second day to clench the win.
Going in to NASA Nationals, with rain expected Friday and Saturday, the TT Group may only have Thursday to set fast times. This was our 3rd event for our TTS Civic this year, making changes for each event. For nationals we added a built K24 and Hoosiers hoping we could get the times down from the 1,40′s that we we running at Mid Ohio in August. We had 1 Goal for Nationals, to beat our previous fast time from our EVO IX that we campaigned Last Year at 1,35.5. After I arrived I saw a new Skyline who had TTS decals, and then a pipe dream entered my head, what if a Civic could out run a R35 Skyline, then I saw the massive hoosiers and the dream was instantly squashed.

First things first… The point of reference will be the Magnus Street Intake Manifold (MSIM) which was on the car originally when we finished the new turbo setup. The MSIM had been on the car for 3-4yrs already so we used it for the build
However, we were looking for more on the existing setup and needed a new intake manifold to take better advantage of the turbo and headwork.
