Buying a civic, never thought this would happen Options

[supra12big]

so ya i am a full on toyota die hard fan, and after alot of time being spent on my swapped 3sgte, its time to move on, i found this ek hatch with a swapped b16a2 sir 2 jdm, with a t3/t4 turbo kit on it, i am going to check it out later today, i just never thought i was gonna buy a civic or even end up owning one, wtf

[snapshotgt]

Are you moving on b/c you're having problems with your swapped car?

congrats.. trust me you'll have alot of fun with that car.. and the amount of parts out there for its..might make you cry tears of joy..

lol, yeah i already noticed that, its basically a lego car, just build it the way u want it, no its not that i had alot of problems but its not the most reliable car out there for speed

haha... speed... and you are going to a honda hahah! the irony!

[Supersprynt]

LMAO!

I want to go faster, so I'm getting a turbo civic instead of a turbo toyota?

Yeah I'd like an uglier, slower car, but; oh yeah, that's retarded.

dont matter what car you own, if you dont build it to be reliable, it wont be.


cheap, fast, reliable.
pick 2

That saying is going on your tombstone Manny.

[thespacepanda]

Yay. Enjoy your time in the mainstream rice market.

[supra12big]

lol, i see u guys don't like the idea, i didn't either but its gonna give me a chance to see how fast i can make it, the b16a2 at 5psi makes roughly 255whp on average, and in a 2200 pound car and if i can hock up, thats 12's all day, at 11psi which is not the safest for sotck internals its 320whp, i wanna see some 3s' which i do own at the time and am not mocking it put some numbers down like that without having to go big turbo, cause the ct26 is a fine turbo, but it can't make too much boost, i really don't know how this is all gonna go out, lol pressure 2 the mod guy doesn't seem to like me too much, thats another no one helps out to much, but i really don't care, the most badass person on here is doc tweak, hes been there every time i had a prob.

[Supersprynt]

5psi on what turbo? 5psi means nothing if you don't know what turbo your talking about. On a T3/T4 5psi will not get you that power, you'll need around 8psi, and I still don't think you could get 255 crank.

lmao, are u series do ur research buddy, yes 5 psi on the b16a2's 10:5:1 compression, thats on stock internals, will put down average 255whp, don't believe me go look around at the civics running the b series motors with t3/t4 on them, plus most hatchs with either jdm h22a's or b16a2's stripped run average 13's with a good driver, i have done my research have you, i really hate acting like a asshole, cause toyota's are my fav cars, and have been a diehard fan since i was born, whole family runs nothing but toyota, and my fav car of all time is a supra, i would rather have a mk4 supra over any car on the damn planet, put it that way, how about when i get this civic i will post some dyno results, and end it at that

[JoKeRkId613]

doesnt sound like you're much of a die hard toyota fan... you're getting a civic. you're saying toyota this toyota that and then adding a but. good luck with the p.o.s. civic. they look like crap. "no offense".

[snapshotgt]

Periods, maybe, would, help, your, case, so, then, you, would, sound, credible, but, reading, like, this, is, not, too, cool, or, smart...

I would suggest you make your current project more reliable before you go onto other projects.

[bccentaur3]

Agreed ^. Tuning has a big role in making those kind of numbers based on the amount of boost you're pushing out too. Just because 2 of the same cars with the same turbos are running the same amount of boost doesn't mean that one will make more power to the wheels. Why would you go out and buy an already boosted car any way? I don't want to knock you, but why not throw money into some thing thats unique? Although there are many boosted celicas on this forum, but how many do you see boosted in your city? I see boosted civics every where I go.

[supra12big]

i really still want to keep my 3s, but the problems i have had and are having is way too much. Yes i am a dir hard fan, i still have my celi just so u know, i would be getting this onto of my celi, i don't think anyone understood that, but anyways yes, hondata isn't to hard to tune for the guys were i am at, but also about my 3s. Does anyone know how much the st and gt front motor mounts differ?

[Supersprynt]

I'm not sure how much more reliable pushing that B16 is going to be if you plan on getting 255hp out of that turbo...but have fun with it.

[bccentaur3]

I say buy the civic sell the motor and turbo set-up and build an H22 turbo hatch. Or you can jump on the bandwagon and do the k20a1 swap. Forget the 1.6 liter motor man. Think displacement.

[Supersprynt]

It's not like I don't respect what you can do with those motors...I just like torque. You feel torque, you really don't FEEL horsepower.

[supra12big]

k i understand what u guys are saying, well i was also looking at another swapped eg hatch with a jdm h22a? but the compression on that is 11:1 which is kinda high for boost, althought that motor makes 220hp and 163tq na, but i dunno will see, at least u guys still understand that i will be keeping my celi and playing with that too, aight peace
