I've always like the ek9's looked really fresh IMO ,
That is some spec list .
Is this your new car or what your looking to buy ?
Can't imagine a car of that spec is cheap seeing as a standard ek9 is still in the £4500+ region .
Very nice tho : )

What power does it put out. I quite like it.

What power does it put out. I quite like it.

It says 458hp at 1.1 bar mate

[rachel_gt_5door]

Ive bought it had it a week now yeah its 458 on high boost but there really isnt any point cz it just looses traction. Just run it @ wastegate pressure as is plenty quick enough.

I love it!!!!

I love Honda engines but hate the lack of torque so a boosted vtec is the perfect solution. 458bhp! What is the torque figure and the weight of the car? Must be a flying machine.

I would be very interested in seeing some power and torque curves if you have them.

Lovely looking car you have, it looks mint. What is it like to drive compared to the punto? How much did it set you back if you don't mind telling?

[scottmc]

Very nice buy.
I've been in a integra turbo and that was only 410hp and that was absolutely insane !
Need to get a few videos up as the v- tec turbos are unreal !!

[rachel_gt_5door]

Il upload the dyno graph tomorrow, its just a touch under 350 ft/lb and the car weighs 1090kg.

Its alot different to the punto, the puntos much more civilized and easy to drive it puts its power down really well. Ive only used high boost a couple of times because tbh its just rediculous and not really needed lol

Its quite a smooth power delivery but really gets going when it comes on cam, then the engine hits the limiter like its in neutral as it just wheelspins lol

Thanks for the comments
