Hey All,

Took my k-swapped 97 civic coupe to the dyno yesterday. Results are a little lower than I was expecting; was hoping to get at least 230whp. Regardless, the car is still a ripper.

Build details:
- JDM K24A (Donor: 2006 Honda Odyssey Absolute, FWD) 112k KM, 160, 175, 175, 175 psi in cylinders (cold test)
- Type S oil pump
- 50deg VTC w/ 40deg limit pin
- Skunk2 Tuner drop in cams
- 3” Short Ram Intake (85*F IATs during the dyno)
- K-tuned 70mm TB
- RBC, Port matched to 70mm TB
- K-tuned Ram Header
- Full 3” Exhaust, w/ Gesi Hi Flo Cat, 3” Resonator, 3” straight muffler

What had me believing I was going to make at least 230whp was this video from Tunedbynick. https://youtu.be/YcUk6TM9xBo?si=aakISuTDAfPHNkGE

- My build is similar, except I have 50VTC and DIC cams while that one doesnt, their RBC is full port and polished, mines not.

The shop also claimed their dyno typically reads lower than others. Idk if there’s any truth to that.

Doing a K-Swap in the near future for my 97 civic dx coupe.

I bought a 27mm whiteline front sway bar kit back before I decided to go with an EG subframe.

Can the ek bars be used on an ek with eg subframe & lca’s? I know blox makes an endlink (pictured) that would mount the sway bar ends to the eg lca’s, just wondering if this is inadvisable for any reason?

Picked up some mevotech standard LCAs on rockauto and this is what the ball joint seats look like. Doesn’t look acceptable to me.
