My new civic hatch turbo

**Mastermedic** · 12-08-08, 09:15 PM

This is my second EK hatch. My previous hatchback wasn't turbocharged and lasted me a long time until it was hit and totalled a few weeks ago. This was my friends hatch who had a kid and bought a four door TSX. He works for a big Honda dealership here in Florida. I can't take all the credit obviously except for owning the car and this being my fourth Honda.

The block is fully built with a reinforced head pushing out 11pounds of boost(22 possible). Everything that could possibly be converted to a civic type R has been done to the car including working type R power mirrors and headlines with HID lights. The car is fully done and as about as complete as a JDM civic gets and I hope it lasts me 5 years+

I walked a M powered tuned hatchback tonight. It was an older man and was trying his hardest. I pulled him in third gear once I had complete tire traction. I wouldn't doubt your BMW is fast but unless you're running 12.50-13.30 depending on launch you wouldn't pull anything. There's nothing gutted on the car and has all working options including A/C and is a very nice daily driver.

M powered is very different from a m3, M powered's are what I would call "Wanna be M's" though mafia will probably come in here and yell at me for that statement.

What's the A/R on the turbine/compressor side?

Congrats on the purchase btw...

Hooking up a car is something I always wanted to do. Especially since my first car was a Nissan 240 SX, but it was nearly impossible for a 16 yr old to finance that kind of investment, so I never did =(
