In the shop this week! A fun project: 8th Gen Civic Si Kraftwerks SC installation, then tune on the dyno. All the parts are laid out, inspected and ready for installation.
Engine stripped and freon evacuated from the AC system. Ready to start bolting on the fun stuff......
8th Gen Civic Kraftwerks SC install almost complete. A session on the dyno tuning with a Hondata Flashpro up next. More to come....
8th. Gen Civic Kraftwerks SC kit installation complete! Slide in the new fuel pump and then onto the dyno to make some noise. :)
Let the tuning begin! 2010 Civic Si with Kraftwerks SC kit- stock exhaust manifold and exhaust system. Care to guess what the final numbers will be?
The final results are.......320 whp with stock exhaust manifold, cat and exhaust running 91 octane. Nice stealthy & quiet super sedan! Perhaps our customer Mitch can gives us his driving impressions after a few days!

Update 10/29/2013:
A few months ago we installed and tuned one of the very first production Kraftwerks SC kits for the 06-11 Civic Si. At that time using the stock exhaust manifold and exhaust this car made 327whp and 214ft/lb torque. Now it's back, updated with a Full Race 3" exhaust and Skunk 2 Alpha header -the results 352whp and 225ft/lb torque- nice gain!!!

King Motorsports is a leader in building Honda engines that balance power and reliability, and we've been doing it for nearly 30 years!
Read our staff interviews with Mike Lindquist and Chad LeBeau for a glimpse into the care we put into builds.
Here are some of the motors we've been working on recently...
This is a B Series cylinder head we are putting the finishing touches on. We're doing a King Motorsports Ultra cylinder head prep which will be shipped out to its new home in Brazil shortly!
This is a 85 x 89 KMS B Series Turbo engine just finished up for a customer. Ready to install!
Here's another angle for the newly-completed King Motorsports Turbo B. Note the KMS valve cover venting with fresh powder coating.
The finishing touch on every King Motorsports prepared engine is this uniquely-numbered authentication tag. All engines we prep are serialized and all build specs achieved.
