Honda + Turbo + Sony = Success

[nycclaye]

I got bored today and decided to take some new and updated pix of the car. Here's how it sits today.

2007 Civic Si with a FullRace Manifold, GT30R Twinscroll, XXR Wheels, Seibon hood, and more.

I like the placement of the "10 mph" sign. Later, QD.

Idk. It's a nice car but everything is just all wrong to me. Specifically the headlights.

Idk. It's a nice car but everything is just all wrong to me. Specifically the headlights.

yea, the headlights were added in 2009 when the car was hit in a parking lot and I've not liked em since. They were'nt the first choice, and I'm actually going back to the stock ones so I can have them retro'd.

nice.. how much whp is putting down and @ what psi on the 30r? And I didn't know full-race comes with a twinscroll for a si espec for a 30r? 30r is usually a t3 flange not a t4.... And that doesn't look like a fg2 si full-race kit at all.. FMIC isn't a vertical and the bov isn't a tial.. And also ic piping doesn't look like full-race..

Looks a greddy kit if you ask me.. Unless you upgraded your greddy kit with a full-race kit but they don't offer that option for the fg2 at this point only for the dc5..

[Axix23]

btw, this is a full-race kit for the fg2 : http://www.full-race.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=22_1392_1395

[Echonova]

All he listed was a Full-Race manifold...

[nycclaye]

Like I said its the full race manifold and 30r, not the entire kit. I started with a greddy and when full race made their kit finally llast year, the only thing needed was the injectors, manifold and turbo. No need to change the intercooler. DVCUSTOMS in augusta had a 30r twin scroll laying around from another project and since they are my builders, they wanted to see if they could make out work and they did after a week of busted knuckles and lots of cursing.

[Axix23]

nice... how much does it put down? And just out of curiousity, how did you make the single-scroll full-race manifold fit a twinscroll 30r?

[nycclaye]

I'll find out saturday at JJSPEC or whatever it's called for their dyno day what the low boost numbers are. It's slightly over 400whp on 12psi. the restrictor is the FMIC, but again, I wasn't gonna spend money on something that I already had. my goal was 400whp, and I could still push it to 14psi, but I hit my goal for a fairly quick, reliable, trackable honda.

[Genji-Sama]

The headlights and the gold wheels are really killin it for me, but i'm really likin the panda scheme :goodjob:

[SRK420a]

I like it homie, fresh, to the point, but the headlight do need to be changed lol

[quickdodge®]

The headlights and the gold wheels are really killin it for me,

I agree. Add to it the black/white "scheme" and the stickers and the hood for me as well. Other than that, not bad. Later, QD.

[thecuborican]

i like it how it sits, good pics too

[msanch24]

Holy piss, it's fuckugly.

[FasTech]

If the wheels had a tad more lower offset they would be alot better. Still a nice car none the less.

[DynamicSound]

Looks good.

[chompsticks]

more aggressive wheels and we'd be good, otherwise the scheme is looking good.

[Franco Tirador]

this one i like, even the little minor stuff, let people think its slow cause they see the lights and disappoint them

[mistergou]

looks good!

besides stickers add hp :)

[pbstarr1]

Man you are making some really good hp on low boost! Keep up the good work bro.

[Bacon]

Who gives a shit what turbo it has and what manifold is mated to what.....

I like the car other than the headlights and the wheels. Maybe a different wheel option but the same color.

[deondre]

I agree. Add to it the black/white "scheme" and the stickers and the hood for me as well. Other than that, not bad. Later, QD.

good ol' QD,lol.

thats damn good whp for 12 psi..i need boost in my life...

[DeeAOne]

You in the central GA area? I say leave it like that. People see the exterior and will assume an AEM intake. Then you blow their doors off, lol. Just do you.

[RUFFIAN]

overall, i like the car. the white paint showing through the grill is throwing it off to me.

[SRCRX]

What does SONY have to do with the outside of your car??

[LIKEG6]

What does SONY have to do with the outside of your car??

I'm thinking the camera maker???

Wheels are still growing on me Nick.

[Capt._Ron]

I can't belive im saying this but......the look of the car is kind of refreshing. The car is styled like what shop sponsored car would have looked like modified right out of the box in 2007. It reminds me of my Nopi and Modified Magazine days. Plus, if its actually making 400 to the wheels, you could smoke 99% of the cars on this site.

OK, I could let that one go...LoL

[greasemunkey]

diggin it. and at 400whp you should be able to put a whale tale and drift buddy hangin off the back and still be cooler than most cars on here

[nycclaye]

Lmao thank you all for the comments good and bad. I can take criticism well.

Y the sony portion is the camera, its a little cyber shot. Didn't do too bad though.

yea, I guess where I live is considered Central Ga. Right on the Alabama border :(

Fixed that little part for ya :) thanks again bro, and yes, most of us with the FR Manifold's and GT28's, GT30's, and even a few wild asses running GT35r's are putting down well over the 400whp mark without reallly trying. Honda did a pretty good job with the K-Series and the guys at Hondata have created a great platform for us to tune off of.



Sadly, last night I found out that my wife is pregnant, and I'm now looking into new car options... lol... but she said "you can keep the civic though baby"... first kid too :)

[GlennsEK]

[Axix23]

hey, out of curiosity, how many wastegates are you running for your twin-scroll setup? :)

[nycclaye]

4... one per cylinder to handle the powwaaaaa!!! and i'm running a 1000shot into my ITB's but you can't see em in that pic either. ;)

[k2nix]

performance = SUCCESS, style/exterior = FAIL

[Dwisforme05]

god damn when is HDR, especially bad HDR gonna die out!

car is impressive, ugly but impressive. lose the stickers and headlights and car will be decent for sure
