Honda of America Racing Team Post-Race Boost Test

It didn’t take but two days after setting the front-wheel drive record at the Redline Time Attack race for Honda of America Racing Team’s Bryan Johson to start tinkering with the AJP turbo kit boosting the team’s 2006 Honda Civic Si. Having run conservatively to make it through the race and breaking the old record for the by 7 seconds, he wanted to start improving the times for next year.

At race time, the HART car was getting 449 hp / 379 tq to the flywheel at 14 psi as measured on their Dynapack dyno. Bryan dialed it up to 17.5 psi and got 493 hp / 406 tq to the flywheel.

The car is known as the “1 Lap” car for its participation in the 2006 One Lap of America race, but with the planned modifications, Bryan reports that it will be much more difficult to run a race as long and as grueling as the One Lap Race.
