Masster Shake

sick wagon bro

i have a question though, was she really driving it or were you just messing around? lol

VIPperformance

ohh she was driving, she also own's a CRX that runs 10.6 @145+ also has a NHRA license.

v8killaz

thats badass. you posted this a while ago too correct

and what are the motor specs

Nooch

0-60?

looks good, how does that RT4wd tranny like the power? I have been thinking of building one

949

nice. can you show more pics of how you routed the pipes for the intercooler and downpipe.

OneBadTurboCRV

Everything you need to copy the build has been shown in the pictures provided. Some crazy hot side piping to a back door setup (unless more craziness behind the bumper). The cold side is your typical placemet. Then the exhaust is offset and ran this way down the exhaust tunnel. Your typical setup - nothing fancy. '88-91 turbo setups were never "meant to be" haha.

OneBadTurboCRV

Actually, they hold 400-450whp perfectly fine. The weakest links are differentials and axles. The viscous coupler is up to the task.

nice wagon

VIPperformance

Interesting, who has that power with a RT drivetrain? can you link pic's,videos, other info??


The key to make more power with my current setup is a larger intercooler & maybe the manifold, this same engine and same turbo was on my 95 coupe running E85 topmount manifold & larger intercooler I made 530whp at 30psi, the coupe also ran 10.7 @135. I've had thoughts of getting the power up there and getting this wagon into the 11's.

There a quite a few more informational posts and builds as well. I can't find the one where I posted TONs of info right now (my phone makes it slow to search). The CRV system has been proven to get maxed out around 600whp-ish. Regardless, there are even "how-TO's" for LSD, rebuilding TCD and VS units, ect ect... Just look around.

The Epictuning coupe build was a CRV transmission with RT4wd wagon rear end, the Epictuning 4wd EF only had around 350whp with the standard civic wagon transmission/drivetrain. The wagon attack guy was running around 300whp. I guess what I'm sayings is I have never heard of anyone running a standard civicwagon drivtrain with over 400whp. I believe the weak link is in the transfer case of the the RT4wd transmission, I think the CRV may have a stronger transfer case.

I see this every now and then around 82nd or while driving by vip. Everytime i see it I wonder if the looks are backed up by power....and yes that beauty is. Nice to see some pics of this thing. I will be at pir one of these weekends and look forward to seeing it run.

VIPperformance

We like to go down to PIR and make a few pass's now and then. We when out about 6 weeks ago and made a few pass's.

any motor specs btw.

VIPperformance

Engine/Drivetrain

-cp pistons 76mm

-eagle H beam rods

-Crower valve springs and retainers

-Crower stage 2 turbo cam

-ACL bearings

-Ported OIL pump

-ARP head studs

-1000cc injectors

-OBX LSD in rear diff, this is a shelf d-series LSD, ring gear needs to be drilled out other than that its a direct bolt in.

-GT3076R turbo, I think its a .82 exhaust housing if I remember correctly.

-Custom VIP rear Diff bushing modd that I came up with, keeps the rear diff from making a god auhhfull clunking noise.

NICE WORK

sstupid

This^

Only the second wagon I've ever seen that I liked.

Hidenplanvew

Are you launching in 1st? I heard they have a very very short 1st gear

VIPperformance

Yes launching in 1st, not super low

The gear's are very simulator to a B16 transmission

Hidenplanvew

got ya, thats cool! When I had my D series I was blowing gears,diffs every 5 or 6 months at about 400 but they were cheap and wasent that big of a deal. I drove it hard too lol but good to hear the 4wd ones are alittle stronger (im sure they are hard to find)
