2001 Honda Civic EX - Power Pages

Dyno TestingNow for the real test. Dyno testing has become a vital part of Power Pages testing. Without a dyno it is impossible to determine whether a product is working up to its potential or not. Our dyno session was performed at XS Engineering on their Dynojet. With the Civic all wired up it pounded 110.4 hp and 103.5 lb-ft of torque to the wheels in stock trim. First on the stage was the SPW Hayame intake system. Of the two components, it was the easiest to install. The intake system upgrade bumped peak power levels to 114.6 hp and 106.4 lb-ft of torque. Up on deck next was the TCS exhaust. Installation was a breeze, with everything fitting in place precisely. New gaskets were also supplied with the exhaust system, preventing any possible exhaust leaks. The exhaust made an improvement of 1.8 hp and 0.9 lb-ft of torque, moving peak power figures to 116.4 hp and 107.2 lb-ft of torque. With the two components installed, we were able to improve power levels by 6.0 hp and 3.7 lb-ft of torque.

ConclusionConsidering the fact that only two power products were installed onto the Civic, we noticed a great improvement in mid- to top-end performance on the highway and on the dyno. Stay tuned as we plan to find more power enhancement products for the 2001 Civic and test them out.
