i appreciate someone actually working on an import car as they would a domestic. i would personally never own an import because of the poor reputation they have received in my eyes after FNF and FNF2. props james, good luck with it all

 

i have one: why do you want to supercharge vs. the popular import turbos that are out? can you get more power of s/c on your 4cyl? and which engine comes in the si again?

 

at the same PSI and CFM, a turbo will put down more power because it has less draw from the engine to produce the extra power. I choose the SC because it's instant boost, anywhere in the band.

I plan on autocrossing it eventually, so that helps.

and my engine code is the b16a2. Specific to 99-00 Civic Si's.

b16a3s came in the 94-97 Del Sol VTECs. B16a1s came in the JDM Civics. I forget exactly the years and model type.

 

Id love to see your plans come through, your someone who really deserves it.

 

Jeez crimeny, James. Did you rob a bank?? Just kidding, I see where you've picked up the parts you have here and there.

I think autocrossing is cool because it's more "real world" than just going fast in a straight line. But I have to ask, what HP do you expect with that and what are you looking for in the 1/4 if you ever run that?

One more thing: a mod?

--GP gets ready to tip toe--

HA HA!!

 

YO WHAT UP MAN !! is that a single cam vtec MI cousing have a 89 civic ls vtec he has like 10 g in the motor he knows like every thing there is to know bout honda i would go with the turbo just because of the revs that the motor produses (vtec hondas love turbos ) my cousing takes hes up to 10,000 rpm no prop i think coilovers suck good for the trak but that is it good set of springs do the job nice and the kyb ajustable strust /and shocks work super nice he has them on his car and never had a problem and he drive the **** out of the car if u need a comp i friend of my has a p28 comp japan spect $150.00
if u have any questions bout hondas let me know illl asked my cousing

p.s. sound like its going to be a beast good luck :rockon

lol. Yes, I mod in this section as well as off topic.

Autocrossing teaches you how to control your car during braking, accelerating and hard cornering. Anybody can aim a car straight and put it down a 1/4 track, unless you're driving a top fuel car, or anything 10s and below. (there are exceptions, of course.) I just know that my car isn't built for straight line performance. Which is part of the reason I plan on the SC route. Instant boost, always in boost, very minimal spool time.

As far as the power production, it's hard to say without doing that craptastic ricer math, but I do know on a stock 160 hp B16a at 6 psi on the JRSC kit, according to www.jacksonracing.com and a few people who've had them on hondaswap, has put down about 193-198 front wheel horsepower. Stock the B16a will put down between 140-150 whp. You read that right, 40-50 wheel hp JUST from the kit. With I/H/E, a ported TB and GSR cams (which have a more aggressive profile than b16a cams) I would venture to say 210-215 with a good tune. (I'm not holding my breath for that number, though) I really don't care how fast it'll be in the 1/4, but I think I should be well into the 13s.

99-00 Civic Si's came with the DOHC VTEC 1.6L b16a2 straight four. Producing 160 hp @ 7600 rpm and 111 ft lbs torque @ 7000 rpm. I know everything there is to know about Civic Si's, and quite a bit about Honda's in general.

I'm not going with a turbo, everybody and their mother has a turbocharger. I want instant boost; it's better for autocrossing. I want to hear the whine of the SC and I already bought my header.

As far as the P28 ECU, there's no such thing as a Jspec (JDM) P28. P28s came in the USDM 92-95 Civic Si/EX.

Not to sound like a jackass, but you should ask a few more questions of me as well as your cousin. Head to www.importaddiction.net/forums and ask as much as you want. I'll answer what I can.

 

yo ! you de man !!! school is out :bow i like ant thing that`s fast but def. a mustang guy all my cousings have hondas my cousings 89 ran 12.8 down the strip but its so much money to get it there i have a 90 4 door civic at home i just got it it has the single cam vtec dude that had it swap the motor out i was thinking bout puting a tsi turbo in it don`t know yet but is f/w drive good for the winter prob. give it to my little brother when i`m done with my mustang
sound like the car gona be smoth dude good luck . :rockon

 

You all have to recognize, that is for sure!!

Those are some extensive and respectable mods, I don't give a shizz WHAT they're going on. And you're doing most of the work yourself, right?

It just trips me up a little to hear you say "front wheel horsepower." That owns!

BTW, where did you get your driving lights? Those are sweet and mine look like turds.....

 

I'll do the work I can myself, but I don't have an extensive tool collection. I can do the small things like header/intake/exhaust, but i'd like to get the supercharger, suspension and brakes installed by a professional. That way there's less drive time to the dyno/shop for tuning/alignment purposes.

My driving lamps are stock honda lamps, when I'm driving the car they're on.

 

Well, looks like I'll be busy Sunday.

I got my gauge bezel a few weeks ago, and today as I walked up to the door I saw a box sittin there. My gauges showed up!

Boost and Oil Pressure. I'll install them both but only hook up the Oil Press for now. w00t!

This is gonna look SICK.

*drools with excitement*

 

awesome dude.....so when you gonna get all the rest of the cool stuff?????

 

Whenever finances allow. I'm thinking of saving up to put a nice downpayment on a laptop, and then financing 500 or so of it first.

 

Haha tell me about it. I've never fell down stairs as hard as this time. I slipped at the top step, tried to get my left foot planted on the stair, that foot slipped, fell almost end over end and took a nice chunk out of my toe, not sure how lol. I laid there for like 30 seconds just thinking wow, I just truly busted my ass lol.

Ummm how did this end up here?... Was supposed to go in daily chat thread, very strange....

im expecting a pic on install, jamesy-boy :wink

nice imp

 

Just realized I never put in my ICE plans/previous purchases. Updated. Everybody knows my system now... and I love it.

Kenwood rocks.

 

lets see what your system looks like imp

 

Deck, I was in a hurry to install it so I could get to work, so it's been half installed for a year and a half now. Yes, I know, it's crooked:

Changer, lays flat under my seat:

Sub, sitting in my living room on the floor:

Amplifier:

 

nice..

now make it bigger like 20000w ricer stuff :wink

 

nah. I just ordered my door speakers/tweeters and rear deck speakers today. after those are installed I'm DONE with ICE.

It's loud enough for me. Good bass, good volume, light package. (my sub and amp only weigh 15 lbs total).

 

my amp's inner wirings got fried somehow. i tried a different install kit and checked all the connections 4x or so, still no power to the amp. then i took my amp out of my car and dropped it on one of my fosgate 10" subs and broke it lol. so now i have 1 10" in a 2 10" box and no amp. i also have a blown passenger door speaker. audio compnents are expensive though if you want them done right.

 

JUST DID MY FIST FWD MOTOR SWAP

what up peoples i just did my fist fwd motor swap and it whas cake
i dint know that u can take a motor from the batom of the car did the holl thing in like 8 hours is that goog (one of my boys help me ) is cool i like to know bout all kinds of cars so i had fun doing it i got a gsr that i have to do next so maybe ill lerned how to wire it next . :award :rockon
