all day everyday! I've destroyed my tires, so i'm trying to chill out for awhile through these holidays before getting another set. Going to go a tad bit softer with the RT 615K Azenis'
CHILD'S *EK* ... finally i have an EK
- Thread starter CHILD
- Start date
yeah S drives. Been thrashing on them ever since the swap was in.
Good question. I was just about to ask that right now actually....weird.
I'm More curious of what K series are putting down in 6th gen. He's my only "personal" source with K in 6th gen.
Child, im just curious and want to get an idea of MPG from 6th gen with K24. I know your set up is not stock but it's reference for me. Thanks man.
I haven't done any decent driving to give a good reference to mpg, but with me always hitting WOT and tearing around town, i'm used to doing 25-28mpg between fill ups of 93oct. I did one trip from Houston to Dallas that still had a few sprints here and there and cruising rpms were around 4500 in 6th, but I was sitting at 200 miles at only half a tank. My partial throttle tune is sweet....I just have Jeremy Clarkson disease
If i could manage to drive like normal people and leave to work on time, i'm sure I'd get great mpg. I hardly need any throttle at all to move the car and coasting in 6th helps even with my short 6th gear.
Mid-to-high 20s in MPG during spirited driving isnt bad at all for a 245HP Civic. I would think low-to-mid 30s is reasonably achievable if you didnt enjoy your set-up on a daily basis.I haven't done any decent driving to give a good reference to mpg, but with me always hitting WOT and tearing around town, i'm used to doing 25-28mpg between fill ups of 93oct.

I'm sure I could hit the 30s, if I drove with my kid in the car all the time lol.
thanks for checking out my stuff. I'm hoping to get turbo knocked out this year. We'll see how it goes.
just been playing around with my gopro lately. I've only removed my mud guards, and adjusted my rear camber slightly.
Downtown Houston, the lumpiest place in the city lol.
If I recall correctly, the k series isn't much heavier than a B series, so yes it handles just fine. Actually a bit better than before with where the engine is positioned.
I think Honda tuning did a small piece on the engine weights.
Did a quick search for it.....
D series at 309lbs, b series vtec at 405, k20's at 405 as well, and my k24 at 413. Those are stock weights with engine and drivetrain though. I'm not using a tsx Trans so that's lighter, stock tsx flywheels are 18lbs whereas mine is 8.4, I have a rbc intake manifold which is noticeably lighter than the stock tsx rbb manifold, and I have quite a few other lighter bits like my rotors, calipers, and deletion of a million things

Damn the Gravity coupe has some power...
crazy!!!! u make me want to go K but I am retiring for the military in the next 2 1/2 yrs and paying off my debt
Two things come to mind after watching that (impressive) video:
1. I look forward to seeing your final numbers and performance vids once its complete to your satisfaction.
2. What will you do with the spare time you'll have from no longer working on the Civic (aside from driving the hell out of it)?

yeah the first run with the turbo was bad....so the next two I let him build boost but I still pulled in every gear from 2nd to 5th. 2nd and 3rd I was still spinning.
yeah a nice K is either debt or one hell of a patience game lol.
This year is about turbo. So I'll be collecting all the parts for that. Hoping to be close to 500whp on 93pump.
After the turbo setup gets done, I'll start building a N/A monster. K26
