amazing. I didn't know the 18g would produce 30psi. Nor did I think that THAT level of HP would produce only 12's @114mph. ****, with the goals for my car, that means I need to shoot for more than 550whp

That's pretty amazing,. Just curious, usually with any turbo motor, it's produces more torque than horsepower?

If your peak torque is before 5252rpm, then your torque will be higher than HP. If you have peak torque after that, like a honduh, then your HP will be higher than the torque #. I bet if you email him and ask him when his peak torque was, I bet its waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay after 5252rpm. Its the torque monster b16.

I like the fact that he says he wants it to look stock that's why he hasnt upgraded the exhaust, yet he's running a giant body kit and clear tails...

man 423hp with his stock exhaust!!! holy ****. i want a stock si exhaust. he also has "6. TITANIAM RODS", is this possible. they must cost a grand. for regular steal rods they cost 350+.

almost everyone bidding has shades on and another guy has a -1 responce. this guy is bidding on his own ****!!

"When the shades icon appears next to a User ID, it signifies that the user has been a registered eBay user for 30 days or less, or has changed his/her User ID within the last 30 days. The shades icon will disappear after the user has maintained the same User ID for a 30-day period. "

Nope, it's still there. I emailed him as well.

EDIT: Oh wait....yes it did. Haha. Good looking out. Oh well, I guess the email I sent is on it's way anyway. Too bad.

I TRY TO KEEP THIS CAR LOOKING STOCK FOR MORE RACES AND THAT’S WHY I HAVE THE STOCK EXAUST ON THERE AND NOT A UPGRADED ONE. THIS
uh.. ok.. so a stock civic crack pipe exhaust handles that much pressure?

423 HORSE POWER AND 451 POUNDS OF TORQE AT 30 POUNDS OF BOOST. ON THE ROAD I SET IT AT 22 POUNDS OF BOOST FOR DAILY DRIVING
sure.... pump gas is that good these days... hell i run 40 psi on 91octane...

THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS 1. STAGE 3 GREDDY TURBO KIT.
Well that explains it right there...


I'm gonna be sick now..

Holy Christ I can't belive how much they paid for that car. 20k????? For a Civic, SI or no, turbo or no, Jesus.

I would buy a DX and a GSR and switch the motors for that much money!!
