Here's the engine bay view, without the MSD blaster coil thingy and catch tank and Koyo radiator. Needs tidying up / cleaning a bit.

SICK!!! This civic must be an absolute monster on the road:)) You need to get a few vids of it going:naughty:
 
fook'n hell. i'd imagine wheelspin is the order of the day! lol. :nice:
 
That is some power, can you get it down on the road from a stand still? When does the turbo kick in bet it's wild. See why your asking about cooling :)

Can't get any grip at all, especially in this weather. 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th all spin up even in the dry if you ask it to. Have lots of stuff to address regards to grip, cooling etc. Haven't had the temp go above 1/2 way but once I get wider wheels, raxles I'll most likely be looking at needing better rad etc.

The list never ends with modded weapons ;)
 
It does seem a lot of power to be pushing to the front wheels. What do you want out of the car, just to go fast? I've got 220bhp and that's just right anymore would just be wasted in my eyes.
 
I quite enjoy 1/4 miling and once the traction is improved it will be fun to see how quick it'l be. Obviously it won't ever be able to cope with all that torque through the fronts, but that's what my foot can play with, I don't have to floor it but it's nice to have more than enough power. :D
 
Thats a cracking looking steak , cars not bad either :lol:

But must be a seriously quick car mate :D

He doesnt need to be full throttle all the time obviously, with half throttle at fullboost he could be making 220bhp forexample, but when you get on the straights/motorway unleash full amount.


Amazing car man, so good.
 
Sweet car dude!!! I think you need some better tyres on there though....my old civic coupe was making 540bhp/344lbft and in the dry wouldnt spin up in 4th or 5th. Had R888's and a Full Race traction bar fitted.......get those two and your see night and day difference!
 
Thanks mate. I'm happy with it. I know what you mean about the 888's ;) I don't really go for it at all in this weather so will see about improving the traction in the form of a traction bar and wider tyres! Did you find that you had to weld it to the chassis?
