i had an si..i traded my si for this car...trust me that car is far from fast...sure the lancer is even farther from fast..but by no means it that car fast..no doubt that a 09 2.4 lancer with exhaust,header,intake,pully,flash could destroy an si. call me crazy but if i need to run 11s on the track ill use the supra..but as for daily driving i want somthing im gonna like to drive

the 4B12 isn't so far removed from the 4B11 and so far the motor makes like 10-20 whp from all those bolt ons. another 10 hp with the piggy. without increasing CR, cams, headwork, etc the 4B12 ain't got nothing on the K-series.
where do you get this stuff from?
Hell no! how on earth can those bolt ons and flash possibly overcome the superior head of the K-series, the high CR, the higher rpm, and to top it all off the big cam on the i-VTEC.

hahaha people thinking they beat a car.. did the other driver know that you guys were racing?? and also i dont think bragging about street racing is allowed on evom??? well either way... get in line ppl with pzev... i dont mind paying more for a turbo if they can break the cvt ecu...albeit it will take time for me to come up with that money lol
Correct, street racing is a bad thing. No talking about it on the site.

Lol guys give them an opportunity to try to figure out the problems. Don’t just write it off. They just got the kit on the CVT. Let them mess around and I bet they will be able to shed some more light on the problems. They already said they made some progress with it. They just need time. So give it to them. Hold off on all the ideas for trading in cars and all that stuff until they are positive they cant get it to work. Then go crazy with trade-ins and stuff. Wait for the official "we got it to work" or "sorry CVT guys it wont work." Chill and have a 
. Better yet Cali guys bring them a case of and see the ideas flow

I beat a Lambo the other day! Granted, he didn't know we where racing, but I still beat him!
This crap is just retarded!

and like you said..10-20hp from all those bolt ons with 10 from the piggy being 30
so lets say a 09GTS2.4 2009 stock at 168/167 theoretically with high hopes lets add 30 to both now being 198/197
Civic Si Specs
197hp/139lbtq
i understand torque isnt everything but i really notices thats where the si seriously lacks..
the k-series dosent mean anything the motors potential dosnet mean anything its what the motor is running
so to say thats not realistic that an si can beat a fixed up lancer...id re think
back on topic though

Dammit.....ok people, Doug and I have been over this again and again in various threads. You can't simply add the numbers together, modding doesn't work like that. More importantly, where are these numbers even coming from? I highly doubt a lancer with bolt-ons could hang with an SI, they have various advantages (better engine, better suspension, LSD, 6-speed tranny) that heavily weight against that being a realistic situation. Also, all that SI has to do is get a thousand bucks in mods (say an intake, exhaust and a tune) and you're completely pooched again. Sure it's down on torque but that's not a big deal once you get going.
I'm with this guy! Don't give up! If Mitsu can do a CVT model with the RA and the Evo X than a CVT turbo is no prob. Just got to crack that little black box.
The 09 Lancer is not even in the same class. How in the world did someone beat the Si, unless the Civic driver was asleep.
Dude, really, knock it off. I had a Mazda 3 and it would blow the doors off my Lancer, same with a tC. Stop posting retarded crap.
I beat a Lambo the other day! Granted, he didn't know we where racing, but I still beat him!
