We have created a "deal" on CT Engineering parts for a limited time only. Here is the deal:

1) Place an order on Heeltoeauto.com for the CT Engineering parts you desire (headers, intakes, superchargers, short shifters, sway bars, etc). When you get to the checkout page, you will receive a shipping cost, and you will enter the coupon code "ctpromo2013" for your special pricing. The pricing reflects the best deal we could work on CT parts so we hope it meets your needs! *Note that the discount only applies to CT Engineering parts...other parts in the cart will not be discounted. You can find some parts CT offers on CT-Engineering.com or on Heeltoeauto.com. If you cannot find the part you are looking for please use the "I can't find it" link near the top the Heeltoeauto.com home page.

2) There is NO MINIMUM number of people who will be needed to achieve the pricing. ALL people who order will receive their parts at the discounted price. We will be keeping a list of parts on the buy, but will not be tracking names.

3) End Date: The code expires on April 13th.

4) Shipping time: All parts will ship AFTER the End Date. No shipping will be done before this date at the discounted price. Placing an order early is an advantage because we will be able to arrange for the parts to ship closer to April 13th. This is because there backorder possibilities with CT and the sooner we know of the parts you want the sooner we can reserve them for you. The ship date is not guaranteed beyond it will ship after April 13th. If you want to combined with another order, or have a question about shipping, please email support@heeltoeauto.com.

5) SUPERCHAGERS. We WILL accept LAYAWAY orders with the "pay-later" option. We will instruct you on how to make a 50% down payment to reserve a kit, then you way pay off the balance over the following months. If you cannot pay off within 4-6 months do not order! The process is informal but we do it for lots of people so if you have questions feel free to contact me. (949) 295-1668.

So.. the only CT parts for the ILX as far as I know is the rear sway bar, short shifter, and soon-to-be Supercharger.. does this apply to the not yet released S/C kit?

MrHeeltoe

iTrader: (1)

Yes we would be happy to secure deals on the ILX S/C kit. Mostly to bolster demand. However if I am not mistaken I could reserve one for you even now.

Trentimus

Oh really? Can you PM me with pricing. I haven't found any info on their kit.. Like will it have the air intake they had on the SEMA car? Stage 2 option? W/ Flashpro deal maybe? Just any info you have is welcome

spdandpwr

Regarding the intake, I got this email from CT:

We still have plans to offer an intake but we have a deign change or two to make before we have something ready for production and then we need to get it CARB approved. It may be a while but we won't offer something if it doesn't perform. We will be sure to let everyone know as soon as we have more info. After we get the supercharger into production, we can get back to focusing on the intake.

spdandpwr

Regarding the CT kit, I wonder if it'll include bigger injectors as I'm sure they'll max out with the inclusion of a supercharger.

Trentimus

I firmly believe in CT-E as a company but there is little information for me to drop these fat stacks!

spdandpwr

I agree. I'm waiting to see the results of the beta test that CT has been doing with the Civic Si. The current car is running full intake and full exhaust and making 218 whp. I wonder what a stage 1 s/c will do for it. Also, fortunately for you, and all of us, this sale expires AFTER the kit gets released, so we'll have time to understand the kit before we lose out on savings.

Trentimus

All that flack K20 guys were giving the K24 for having that integrated header went right out the window... lol
It's like the K20s have about 10-20 more WHP the K24 similarly modded makes 10-20 more TQ.. fair trade if you ask me

It's exciting.. since the beta car has 218whp already and they say about 50-60 whp should be gained let's hope he's on the high side of 270whp when it's all said and done!

spdandpwr

Well, the person who is running 218 hp has a bigger tb and intake manifold. So when the im gets replaced with the s/c, he's technically starting from a lower baseline. However, you should know, that the person is running a 2.5" exhaust, you're running a bigger exhaust :thumbs up:

Trentimus

Ah he did the RBC swap? I thought long and hard about it but knew I wanted the S/C and that it would take the intakes place anyways. I am definitely convinced on the 3" people with JUST 3" exhausts were getting into the 200whp range. Which ultimately isn't my goal to be a dyno queen but I do want to hit a 13 1/4mile time, be a solid autoX (for fun) and still retain that DD ability.. Hopefully that dyno comes out soon cause I hear the 9th gen clutches are slipping at about 250WTQ.. probably be good to go ahead and get a stage 1.5 or 2 clutch at the same time..

psunuce

I am also looking at the ILX S/C kit (and the rear sway bar) Can you PM me the pricing?

Trentimus

They haven't PM'd me, either expect a delay or no response

spdandpwr

I think pricing has yet to be confirmed. The person who has the test kit, literally got it this weekend, so I'm sure CT will confirm pricing once they're set on the beta test.

spdandpwr

Here's some images:

Trentimus

spdandpwr

Did you notice the ilx written on the side of the blower on the first picture?

Trentimus

Yeah it says ILX/Civic. From the way it was insinuated, Honda wanted it built to create appeal around the ILX. I am sure CT and Honda were smart enough to know that whatever fit one would fit the other though.

That new air inlet is >>>>

I WANT DYNOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.. I assume you'll keep track and keep me posted, yes??

spdandpwr

Yes sir!

Trentimus

I wonder where we could put a boost*/vacuum gauge, A/F, and fuel pressure in the ILX. Let's start brainstorming! Would be awesome if the iMID would!

I know the A/C vent is a good place.. and yeah, yeah the boost gauge isnt required for a S/C.

spdandpwr

You could run torque via an obdII adapter on your phone and have the information read directly from your phone.

Trentimus

MERR, It says "your Android" so I assume no iPhone

Would it work ontop of Flashpro? You leave the Flashpro module in there dont you?

spdandpwr

You plug your flashpro in and flash the car. After that, you can unplug the flashpro unit (unless you're datalogging). You can actually attach the flashpro to a surface pro or any other windows based device and use the surface as a gauge cluster:

spdandpwr

And the results are in. Stage 1 CT s/c with RV6 downpipe, Borla exhaust, takeda intake, and flashpro tune. Please note ignore the baseline as it's with the same car utilizing an rbc manifold and isn't a true before and after comparo.

Trentimus

That powerband is smooth as a baby's bottom! I dig it!

Now pricing!

spdandpwr

my guess is $3500. I'll let you know as soon as I hear about official pricing.

spdandpwr

Please note that this is only 6.5 psi. With a stage 2 pulley, larger injectors, and a 3" exhaust system, this car will easily hit 300whp with tons of torque to boot.

psunuce

With that much whp/torque, you are pretty much required to put in a LSD. Which gets a holy $$$ batman! Not saying that it is a bad thing...

Trentimus

For IAT purposes.. I wanna keep the Stage 1 pulley but add the inter/aftercooler system. I figure it should be right there under 300 but should heatsoak less often and not nearly as fast.

spdandpwr

I heard that there is a company working on an aftercooler.

Trentimus

Merc Racing, it's $900 if I am not mistaken. Should give you a bit more power and DEF keep the temps down.

I know with the 03 cobra it used an Eaton blower and we'd call it a Heaton.. it would heatsoak just stock but if you put a smaller pulley on it.. say goodbye to any sustained or back to back runs. Oh, and my point was the Cobra had a after (I guess is what they're calling the core intercooler) and front mount intercooler. I know different cars but I assume the same principle

spdandpwr

So I spoke with the tuner that is tuning the beta testing of the car and he said the following regarding a better intake and bigger exhaust:

The exhaust makes no difference on a blower like this, especially since you can only run a downpipe without a "real" race header on this motor. The intake may yield some gains, not a ton -- again, after the blower, any extra power gains by swapping intakes, exhaust, etc, is just chasing #'s with the Power per $$ gains being really small.

So it's safe to say that we shouldn't be concerned about 2.5 vs 3" exhaust

Trentimus

I think what he was getting at is it wouldn't be worth it for someone that already bought an intake and exhaust to worry about getting better ones. Since the guy already had an intake and exhaust (2.5"). I am sure a 3" would be slightly more hp up top. But, I would make that decision once and only once. Say like a SRT4 or something where you can get an actual race header, if you put a bigger turbo you actually net worth while gains from swapping from a smaller aftermarket exhaust to a larger exhaust. Or, in the Cobra world swapping from a CAI to a SRI actually gave significant gains to the point people would take the $$ hit to swap. But, that's just me assuming.

spdandpwr

So the tuner has Mr Beta up to 270whp and the torque is at 213wtq. im looking forward to seeing 3.15" w/1000cc and Aftercooler....HOPING to see 330whp...we'll see...might take a 3.0" for that. The only problem is I didn't see the dyno sheet for this, but the tuner is a 3rd party tuner, so I believe the numbers.

Trentimus

I would be soooo happy at the 270whp mark.. Just to say you broke 300 would be ridic though.

Considering that 270 is a 100whp over stock and would easily make your car a 13 second car.. 300 just has a nice ring to it.

spdandpwr

Yea, but 270 is easier on stock clutch, plus I wouldn't want to spend all the extra money just for an extra 30whp. I think 270 and 213 torque on a 3000lb car should yield 12.9-13.1, depending on traction.

Trentimus

I feel like that would be with some super grippy tires. I am thinking more like mid 13's in street trim and full weight.

spdandpwr

That's the thing. The s/c can keep you close to a 12.5 second car, from a roll...but from a dig, it's tough.

spdandpwr

See what I mean:


The si in this vid makes around same power (10 more hp, 13 less torque) and weighs 50lbs less, but keeps up with a modded cobalt with is in the 12s. There are plenty of videos online to illustrate the point.

Trentimus

I just like the whine and the overall usability of a roots blower for a DD. If it were a race car I'd go small turbo all day! But I do see what you mean.
