Tommy Drives From Austin, TX to AJP
Whatever else is bigger in Texas, a Honda Civic Si has just joined their ranks with the installation of an AJP turbo kit and AEM Fuel/Ignition Controller.

Tommy drove his Rallye Red 2007 Honda Civic Si from Austin, TX to AJP in South Florida. One of his unforgettable experiences was riding in the shop car. When Ron gunned it without warning, Tommy grabbed for anything and everything he could, much to Ron’s amusement.

He is now equipped to continue the tradition with 421 whp/296 tq/10.2 psi of his own to jolt unsuspecting passengers.

Henry’s Long, Expensive Road to Turbo Ends at AJP

Henry was a certifiable boost junkie. He drove a Neon SRT-4 and a 2004 Civic before getting a 2007 Honda Civic Si sedan. A year into his ownership, he installed nitrous, after getting a ride in someone’s nitrous-boosted car. That someone turned out to be Oscar, who eventually became an AJP turbo customer.

Unfortunately, he was fated to follow in the same path as Oscar, first going to the same shop as Oscar did for his nitrous, then ruining his motor while racing, like Oscar did. After repeated 100-shots, he melted the piston and broke a valve.

Much to his regret, he did not follow Oscar to AJP, but went back to the same shop to build the motor and install a turbo kit.

A Mugen Finally Gets an AJP Turbo

“That is one sweeeeeeeeeet running car though.” Brad’s Rebuild, March 5, 2009

20,000 people will get to know what an AJP Turbo kit sounds like this year. That’s because in Sikeston, MO, a town of 20,000, it will be difficult, if not impossible to miss a 2008 Honda Civic Mugen Si sedan with an AJP turbo.

The installation was done by Brad’s Rebuild, and when we saw their installation pictures, our jaws dropped in amazement. These guys know their stuff and their attention to detail is impeccable.

In addition to the turbo kit which included the AEM Fuel/Ignition Controller on top of the Hondata reflash, Brad’s Rebuild also installed a Wavetrac differential.

Bigger Intercooler Adds More Horsepower

The AJP Shop car just added a hefty amount of horsepower without a single tune. A dyno run last year showed that the limiting factor was the intercooler, so we replaced it with a much larger one.

The car will run in the Import Face-Off event at the Palm Beach International Raceway on Sunday, February 22, 2009. It’s been too long since its last run when it broke 12 seconds. With a fully-built motor and a host of other modifications, we hope to shave off a full second from its 11.966 quarter-mile.

Coral Springs Meet Draws over 15 Honda Civics

The AJP Shop car joined over 15 other Honda Civics in Coral Springs, FL on a quiet Thursday night.  To complement the AJP turbo presence, Oscar brought his Si with the fully-built motor.

There was no revving of engines, no racing, no burnouts – conditions we had to meet in order to gather there in the first place. So we swapped stories, talked about upcoming events and got to meet a few more Honda owners.

AJ Performance Introduces K-Series Fuel Rail
AJ Performance introduces a new fuel rail for the Honda Civic Si K-Series engine. We first brought you news about it while it was still in pre-production (click here).

We tested it on a most unlikely car – Vy’s from Massachusetts. He visited us back in June 2008 (click here) while on vacation and shipped his car down to us in late December 2008 to do some work on it. His car made 430 whp on the dyno with the fuel rail performing like a champ.

Huge Luxury Trailers For You and Your Car

While the bulk of the booths at PRI 2008 contained parts that you could wrap your arms around, there was one segment of displays that you had to *walk* around – the trailers. One company, Star Transporters, specialized in preparing trailers for motorsports activities. Their biggest model on display was a Renegade 19′ Volvo Toterhome.

What was particularly noteworthy was the car in the back of the trailer, owned by the 2008 Redline Time Attack Unlimited Class, Front-Wheel Drive Champion Chris Rado. Chris will be pursued by the AJP-Sponsored Honda of America Racing Team in the 2009 Redline Time Attack Series.

Of the many trailers that were there, this was definitely one of the granddaddys in size and cost. It’s amazing how space there is inside one of these things for both people and multiple cars.

I wonder if AJ Performance should give one away for our Customer of the Year program?

AEM, Maker of F/IC that Helps Power the AJP Turbo Kit
The AEM Fuel/Ignition Controller propelled the AJP Turbo kit to huge horsepower in 2008. It cleared the 8.5 psi barrier that was imposed by the Hondata reflash, which was a frustrating limit for customers up until F/IC’s addition to the kit in Spring 2008.

By raising the boost limit to 11 psi on stock motors and the low 20s on built motors, customer cars now have the best of both worlds – the stability of the Hondata reflash for daily driving and the extra horsepower needed for racing.

Dynocom at the PRI 2008 Show

For the last 18 months, AJP has thrilled many customers by using its Dynocom dyno to either diagnose problems or add more power. The dyno has handled all kinds of cars – front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive. Trucks, as well as cars. Many late-night sessions and two dyno days.

It was great to see Dynocom at PRI 2008 in Orlando, FL not only introducing new innovative products but a private showing to AJP of its latest software improvements to our dyno’s software. New features and more flexibility.
