My name is Taylor from colorado race fab. Here is my car a 1992 Honda Civic cx I have owned it since 2007 slowly building it to what it is today with the help of friends at Co Race Fab and PFIspeed.

It started off as a clean white hatch with some carbon parts literally spotless when a friend of mine bought it.(not a honda guy) Propelled by a d15b2 block and a y6 head without a vtec ecu or wiring he drove it like that for 8 months without changing a thing and delivering pizzas through the winter. I acquired it through a trade not so clean anymore and still running like crap and from there it began.

I first bought a DA integra wrecked just for the swap and then bought a GSR tranny and started cleaning the entire car before putting it back together. Drove it like that for 6 months and loved it.

A deal came up for trading my labor and my LS motor for a GSR longblock
Had the stock GSR for a year or so with an AFC and chipped ECU but wanted to turbo the car the whole time....

And then we pieced together a turbo kit and went to town putting it together on the stock motor. I had about 5$ in the car at this point and made 226 at 12 lbs on a beat up t3 and a cast manifold and hondata.

That setup went 12.71 @ 107??

Then we turned it up to 18lbs and made 447 for a race in pueblo
went numerous 11.6s until the finals
went 11.1@133 missing second gear losing to an 11.0@130 (the green hatch)
my bad *** tuner told me he turned it up and to hold on up top so and i just drove like a girl and didnt win. it ended up making 21lbs that day and on an 11.3 pass at bandimere the stock block let go and #3 cracked.

prelude89si

Ya that would be pretty sweet. Then we wouldn't have to waste so much gas every week lol.

CO_RaceFab

Update: we took the car to the vegas ifo event earlier this month and with a couple small changes and some tuning it went a personal. best of 10.38@145mph this was the cars 6th pass on the current setup. It had a pretty slow 8th mile time and a crappy 60' with some more seat time this car will go 9s with its super basic setup.

prelude89si

UPDATE: With a few more changes we have a new PB ET and MPH.

Slip Breakdown
60 1.684
330 4.628
1/8 6.783
mph 114.04
1000' 8.588
1/4 10.083
mph 151.61


Had some issues with precision turbos not performing(6265, 6765), so we changed to a BW And may never go back again....

went with spinwerks 13x10 wheels THANKS DP! Best customer service around by FAR!

Changed from an areomotive 340 and bosch 044 inline to a single magnafuel monster pump

made 815whp with the new changes.

Please keep in mind that this is @ 5200ft above sea level on the side of the mountain

this car still uses 2.25" boost pipes/stock throttle body, an ebay intercooler stock axles and trans and is full interior @2400lbs
