pretty clean, if you MUST have a bodykit try to use one that wont attract theives. that ones not too bad though

Re: Some Pictures of my Car
 

Looks great!

Is that the Edelbrock just with a different turbo?

What kind of numbers are you making?

Re: Some Pictures of my Car
 

There is no body "kit". Just a front lip and an Si grill.

Re: Some Pictures of my Car
 

wow, nice car, how does that turbo work? considered putting two of them on my nissan a while back :-*

how is that a body kit? its a front lip and side skirts

Re: Some Pictures of my Car
 

Nice clean looking car. What's the WHP at 17 PSI?

Re: Some Pictures of my Car
 

Yeah, it is the Edelbrock kit with a gt2871r turbo. I got the nissan style housing so it would bolt up to all the edelbrock piping. I live in Ca. so keeping it look CARB legal was an issue. No offical numbers yet, it made 276 whp on a mustang dyno that reads really low. Similar setups have made between 300-320 whp at 16-18 psi. I figure I am right around there. I plan on going to get some bragging numbers on a different dyno.

Excellently done, sir.

Thanks alot 8)

Re: Some Pictures of my Car
 

Clean , good and faster sure!

nice nice man! i would like to watch some vid of your car.. O0

Re: Some Pictures of my Car
 

I love it. I get full boost around 4100-4200 rpms in 2nd and 3rd. It pulls hard to redline, I need to extend the redline out about another 1000 rpms though. The dyno graph shows redline and the power has yet to flatten out. It would keep making power at 8-8.5K rpms if I took it out that far. The big stroke of the D makes me a little reluctant to do it though.

Re: Some Pictures of my Car
 

my bad, i just saw that it looked different and assumed it was some sort of aftermarket bumper etc :1

Re: Some Pictures of my Car
 

That ---- looks hella clean, lol i love how you say trying to stay CARB legal but yet you advertise to everyone that it is a Turbo Civic with a badge on the rear. None the less it is a car i wouldnt mind owning

Re: Some Pictures of my Car
 

whats a "mustang dyno"? Each dyno is different or what? ???

Re: Some Pictures of my Car
 

mustang dyno is a company but its not a prefered style. it reads low and sometimes high. where a dynojet dyno is considered to be the most accurate.

car looks nice. those rims look good liek that im so used to seeing jsut black or white.

Re: Some Pictures of my Car
 

Looks really nice, I like it. What engine managment?

Re: Some Pictures of my Car
 

It is the engine management that came with the Edelbrock kit. It is called Link Engine Management. It uses 4 additional injectors for boost, and uses the stock four and the honda ecu to manage no boost and idle. I got the handeld tuner and larger secondary injectors, then had it dyno tuned.

It had been at 18 psi on a gt28r for about a year before I upgraded to the gt2871r. The engine management actually works very well. Its big downfall is the fact that all tuning must be done on the handheld tuner, and not on a laptop. This means that all ignition and fuel tables must be manually shuffled through to get to the table that is desired.

Re: Some Pictures of my Car
 

The point of letting everyone know it is a turbo civic is because technically it is "street legal". All the parts on the car (minus my test pipe which has an OEM heat shield bolted to it) are street legal or look no different than the parts that came with the kit.

I actually just passed Ca. smog about a month ago with flying colors. The visual, ecu scan, and sniffer test were no problem at a legit smog place. If I do ever get pulled over I dont really have anyhting to worry about since it IS CARB legal and pases smog.
