There's a nice story behind this car that I'll make short and sweet. Some middle aged lady used this car as a trade-in to get some SUV at this little Christian used car sales lot back in November of '04. I saw it online, test drove it and bought it for $1300 on December 1st, 2004. Sold it with a rod knock for $1800 August 6th of 2006, and bought it back from that same kid for $500 on April 20th 2007, with a 75k mile engine in replacement of that old one (it blew the day the kid bought it), a smashed hood, and only 12,000 miles more than when I bought it originally So essentially a free car for me turbo to hell and back and not give a hoot if something were to blow

Car: 1993 Honda Civic EX Sedan
Engine: D16Z6
Turbo: IHI RHB5 (Ford Probe GT)
Manifold: HF w/ adapter plate (coming soon)
Injectors: 450cc DSM
Intercooler: Ford Probe SMIC
Fuel Management: Crome on a chipped p06 w/ vtec

Hoping to run a 13.9 on stock tranny (autotragic). I'll be swapping for manual this winter I think. I know the engine can take whatever this turbo can dish out, but we'll see about the transmission

Engine back in the day



As it sits today with the newer z6





Parts





AC crap removed (compressor is next) with intercooler mocked up, gonna buy a slim fan (or find one) and just run the pipe straight over to the intercooler (Piping on intercooler is going to have to be modified too)



Tons of breathing room for that IC

Tim (stenseltizm) said something about us making an adapter plate, waiting for the 450's to come in the mail and then I'll really start tearing into this thing

I'll continually update this as time goes on

Dan, pay him $5 for it so he can pay me the rest of my money.


Good luck, but 13s is more than a stretch.

Keep sippin, Josh :P

Ever hear of a Hail Mary? I'll run it on lower boost to see how I do, then crank it on a later run. If I blow the trans who cares

samson

Ha, Dan. 14b on 12lbs in a full interior automatic sedan goes 13s? My coupe is struggling to get there with a 2.2 60' 100mph trap and STILL only 14.1 from 10lbs off a T3/T04B "Slutty" Trim. Use your head.

14b on 12 lbs, where'd you get these magical numbers in your head? Wrong turbo and wrong psi. You ran in the 13's before and you're using your crappy run to compare? lol :-P

HondaTuner

I'm sure it could at some point, but I'm not going to be stupid about it, not going to rip off the wastegate and do a WOT run down the street

samson

Still small turbo and anymore psi and its running out of breath blowing hot air. I wasn't in the 13s that slip was wrong. 14.1 at 100mph thus far.
