A shop owner is trying to get rid of his "dirty build" I don't like buying pre-modified cars, but the turbo only has about 1200 miles on it. I would rip the engine apart, fill the block, forged internals, upgraded cam/valvetrain, etc.... Basically make the engine bulletproof. And run better fuel management.

Opinions...

"92 Honda Civic CX Hatchback, 5 spd, flatblack, 1 small spot of rust, no body damage other than door dings, full interior minus carpet, full glass.

D16Y8 full swap
P28 ECU socketed w/ 8k rev limit and MAP bypass

Lenso 13x7.5 drag wheels

Car has dyno'd 262whp/214trq on 10 psi and has ran a best ET of 11.92@113. Has dyno sheets and timeslips for proof. Also have a FAL lexan kit for this vehicle if anyones interested in that seperatly. Will not part the car out so dont bother asking!!"

And pics before it was flat black'd... I would of course get it back to this color and get rid of the flat black.

Minor Threat

How much, and what turbo?

Darkelvis

And the name of the thread was what would you pay/would you buy this

heedlessdragger

dats a huge turbo,i would buy it for a drag car ONLY,its probably has super turbo lag until vtec

Darkelvis

starts to spool around 4500, doesn't hit full boost in 1st gear.

$3000-3500 probably. Y8 is a newer engine. It's clean, and man I wish I had turbo like that.

Ah ----, my bad, t'was quite late when I was looking. Yeah, I'd pay around 3500-4000, slap better management on it.

TurbodEG

same size turbo i'm runnin on my d15. i put a rev hard downpipe on it. mine starts spooling at about 2500 rpms. not to bad lag i'd give 3500.00 for it

samson

T3/T4 on your d15 spools at 2500rpm?


JP

stillnoturbo

I'd do 3500 since the car is flatblack. What was so wrong with the red paint job for why he painted it?
