Well since we are posting Hondas
(IMG:http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r283/turboman808/silverhonda.jpg) I want to build one again someday. To my knowledge no one has built a 200 mph street legal civic. That's something I would like to do. I even went so far as to make a proposal and sent it to several car video sites to raise the funds and interest in the project. No dice! |

I really keep waffling back and forth on taking a 3.2 TL Type S motor and tranny and putting it in the middle of my Civic, but the turbo motor has been so reliable and fun, I don't want to mess it up. Maybe I will do it with another one. Oh the projects.

QUOTE(turboman808 @ Jan 27 2009, 11:18 AM)  To my knowledge no one has built a 200 mph street legal civic. A 240 horsepower 1.8 liter honda engine that is (fairly) legal (here in California) is easy. Just start with a B18C and put a Jacksonracing supercharger kit on it (which is smog legal) and have the intake modified by LHT performance for a water to air intercooler. There are legal turbo kits for "B" motors, but none of them include an intercooler (while maintaining the legal status) Greddy is the name that comes to mind. Edelbrock makes legal turbo kits for Honda "D" motors with intercooler. (they did design work on what was to be a carb certified "B" motor kit, but never got it through the legal system) Wes |

It was a D series so the torque was pretty good. Gonna need 500hp to hit 200 mph I imagine. |

My simple street car made an easy 240 at the wheels, did 37mpg on the highway and gave me no problems. In the next iteration, it will make close to 400 at the wheels, with no more tranny problems. Not bad for a simple D series motor.
Wes I think you misunderstood. Not 200HP, 200MPH. I would go with at east 500hp to make that number, but it would take a lot of aero work. Good underbody aero, no mirrors, no big stupid ricer wing, etc. It would be interesting. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) US stock is 125bhp. Turbo & nitrous? |

My old 99 hatch. Dyno'd at 328hp to the fronts with a "slightly" modified B16A. I sure miss it at times (just don't miss the import attitudes.)
(IMG:http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u307/Sleepin1974/march20050011.jpg) On Topic: I reccomend honda-tech.com and hondaswap.com as well. My best friend and I also built his D series CRX to 460whp....it can be done. (IMG:http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u307/Sleepin1974/l_b175bcb237a2445157b9a44110f1833b.jpg) |

Dealing with all the children on the honda boards was part of the reason my '99 prelude never got it's turbo. I found that just going to a shop that has built some of the nicer hondas at the track was the best place for info.

Whatchu' lookin' at?!?! Group: Members Posts: 3,432 Joined: 6-September 04 From: San Gabriel, CA Member No.: 2,697 |
Before when i was put in the situation and had to choose a honda it would only be the S2000 and NSX. But lately, after my friend picked up a really clean and well taken care of genuine 1997 Integra GSR w/ a fully built B18c1 w/ about $10k in engine work and full suspension. And it was a bargain of a price @ $5500 w/ full receipts of all the work done on the car. And to boot it came with a bunch of spare OEM and aftermarket parts. I'd really suggest getting a genuine or bar'd GSR if i had to drive a honda. Would prolly only do suspension work.

Hondas are like crack or heroine- tweak it just a bit & you want more (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) When I got my civic I could not believe how badly it handled. All I wanted to do was put some sway bars on it. Next thing you know I'm swapping out my engine & tranny for a "mini me" w/ lsd. Everything is so plentiful & relatively cheap compared to anything German. Divided loyalties... I wish Porsche would buy Honda (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

QUOTE(Johny Blackstain @ Jan 29 2009, 06:46 AM) I wish Porsche would buy Honda (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Hell no, they would fuck it up just like they have the 996,997,986,987,etc. At least my Hondas don't crack sleeves, break intermediate shafts, basically puke a motor at 10K miles. Sorry Porsche is great but I would rather have a Honda NSX or S2000 over a stock Porsche (except a Carrera GT). My Civic is turbo'd. It runs a small junkyard turbo. I have a bigger T4 waiting to go on as soon as I finish the paint work. I love my car. I won a time trial Championship with it and drove it daily. Plus the heat worked, it wasn't rusty as hell, the bolts still have a nice plated finish, and the interior wasn't trashed. These cars hold up very well even for 20+ year old cars. I have a few new mods going into the motor and drive train when I put it back together. I have a set of Accord wagon calipers and 11in rotors for the front, a CG 5speed tranny from a 86-89 Integra, custom intake manifold, may redo the exhaust manifold, but I am happy with it now. I have fabbed everything on the car. Apparently I won't be adding pics since they exceed the global limit. |

I actually traded in my z-71 silverado on this. Cant haul as much, but it sure has been a great driver and it has a real back seat.
My wife drives a 2004 CRV. We have put 80k on the thing, and it is still worth 65+% of it's purchase price. Amazing.... Attached image(s)

I wish Porsche would buy Honda (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) thats where the gsr integra (dc2) or the rsx (dc5) fit in. They are actually quite good handling cars for a 'pos' fwd car. I actually do love my Honda, but in a completely different way than the Porsche. |

my next project
hopefully, because I am in love with the color, and I want the type-s version of my current car (IMG:http://themikel.net/upload/public/publicdc5-224-038.jpg) (IMG:http://www.themikel.net/upload/public/DC5BOM-41.jpg) (IMG:http://www.themikel.net/upload/public/DC5BOM-42.jpg)(IMG:http://themikel.net/upload/public/DC5motion2234-048.jpg) with basic bolt ons, it will be as fast or faster than 350z, EVO, and the subie sti. Not bad for a honda |
