Honda's version of big block swap. Still slow.
WOW it loses traction in first gear he says. ---- that turbo D's don't have any until 3rd-4th gear. Turbo D is probably more TQy than a V6 and 2x MPG. HAHA. A big waste of ------ money

Meh, I was expecting more. The red J2R ED looks like it launched alright for street tires but then fell on it's face. Who knows.
ASSuming free drivetrain, misc, does anybody know the price on the street for the HASport-only swap bits? Mounts, axles if any, etc?
And the work to install is a couple hundred man hours more than a turbo D16. You can be in and out of the D16 setup, with decent turbo and good gear for under $2K, tuned. I'd say all the hidden costs in the Civette would break most people. Still, it's unique as hell and nothing to be sneezed at. 
Sounds like you need to learn about alignments. You can lay 240 up to 300 whp to the ground in first gear, depending on tire and gearing. 23" slicks handle close to 400. 24.5" 500+. Probably higher, as most of the cars I deal with and gained this knowledge from aren't done the way I'd do them.

No, you said a turbo D-series has no traction until 3-4th gear. Since most of them are in the 225-450 whp range, and only hit the bigger figures with aid of a boost controller which can be turned off, I refer you again to your lack up knowledge concerning setting up a suspension.

Re: j series....who doesn't want a 6 cylinder ciivic?
it's not just the alignment that allows 200+hp to get traction in 1st gear.
bad suspension is what made my crx not get traction in 1st or the top of 2nd. my alignment was almost dead on.

Dan Phan is starting on this swap. From what I understood the only production part is the mounts so far

It's their car, I don't care what they put into it or how much as they're happy with it.
Seeing things like this is awesome because that ---- is almost unique.
