EK9 wannabe

[Streethondas]

Always wanted a EK9 but since we dont have EK9's in Canada my only choice was to build one.

Picked up a EK hatchback, and its going to be a full ek9 replica! I already had these parts laying around.

here's the parts list:
B16b CTR Engine
Greddy 18G turbo kit
Precision FMIC
CTR Red Recaro's
ARP Head stud
OEM Head Gasket
Replica Ek9 lips

WTB:
5lug conversion
CTR SRS Wheel
CTR Cluster
CTR Wing
CTR Center Console
CTR Side Mirror
CTR Bump Strips

Power goals are not really too high, I just want a fun dd reliable turbo civic.
190 to 220ish whp, did alot of researcher about how well a b16b can handle boost) So to find out i had to turbo mine lol

Surface rust!

Here is the b16b coming out of my old eg

Motor is mint has around 57k on it

Looking good. Headlights need something, either plastics done black inside headlight or whole thing tinted dark.

 

[leeeoonr]

that a savage project,if you tinted the headlights it would look mint!!!

 

[Streethondas]

Thanks everyone! I am just waiting to get the car painted and then order some ctr headlights...

As you can see that I'm not running the turbo, I ran it for a week or so but just can't risk having it blow up on me. So I did alot of reading on here (great forum for b16b info!!) and instead decided to stroke it to 1.8L
Picked up ITR crank and hytech replica long tube header!



Ctr wing I just picked up

 

[iHenry]

^^^ nice pick up

 

[Streethondas]

Just waiting on my ctr side mirror and thin molding now and then I can get her in for some champion white paint job

Black looks tight though.
