I haven't got a chance to drive the car much because I've been busy with work, but look forward to an E85 tune when I get time.

Looking forward to see your results on E85. My JDM IX is stock at the moment and I'm trying to decide whether to go HTA71 or FP Green MHI. The rest of my planned mod list is similar to yours except the ported FP Race Manifold. Car will be used for AutoX, Gymkhana and Road Course type events as well as normal weekend street use.

What kinda numbers are you expecting on E85 ? 500/400 ?

What type of battery and tray is that? Nice setup and good info!

Any issues with that much hp in the stock block?

There are quite a few 600hp+ stock blocks running around. It's all about managing torque.

Only issue (if properly tuned) is the lazy low end from the horrible lag that comes with big turbos. The Green and Red MHI isn't bad, but once you get to Black, you will notice. On the street, stock Civics are usually far ahead when turbo wakes up. Not fun on street at all.
Full torque at 4200rpm for MHI Green and 4400rpm for MHI Red is livable to me. But 4800-5000rpm for Black is too laggy for my taste ( over 90% of my driving is under 5000rpm).

The turbo is still alive? Mine died after three events, so curious to see if it was just my amazing luck.

My 71HTA is, but I'll check for shaft play with each oil change. I'm not too worried since I know how to rebuild turbos now (thanks to an awesome friend Tyler - EvoIX89).

Sorry, I was referring to OP. My 71 was awesome, it was the brand new Green that took a dump on me.

Oh!! Sorry!
