Hi. I'm new to this forum and hope those of you with greater knowledge & experience can help.
I have a 2015 Honda Civic FK2 Type-R with 17k miles. It was initially remapped and dyno tested at 377.3 bhp and 331lb/ft torque. Since then it's had an Airtec intercooler and Eventuri air intake added. It's probably now running around 4-420 bhp. I'm now considering a direct fit hybrid turbo which could boost power to around 450+ bhp. I do not know how much the torque has/will increase by.
My questions are:
1) Can the stock clutch take this power? I accept that it will wear more quickly and will need replacing sooner rather than later.
2) Do I need to consider forged pistons and/or rods? I've heard that these engines are good for 500+ bhp but your input would be appreciated.
The car is not a track tool, just the occasional fast road car. Most of its life is spent commuting at 30mph!
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
