EM1 Vortech Supercharged!
I know that some of you will like/hate my car. But a real enthusiast should know better to mod their car the way they wanted. All advice and opinion are open, I may or may not change my style after someone's opinion. Overtime, everyone will eventually change their taste because they grow with different taste.
Now, I know my car is not a typical civic like everyone else. My taste is to be as different from other as I can. Ex: Greddy Lip, I love it because is rare to see it on another civic.

Nice car man. The supercharged Honda's never really caught on. How's the powerband with the Vortech? I wish they made one for the H22. I'd be all over it.

Re: EM1 Vortech Supercharged!
Let's just say it kinda work like a turbo. It lag in the beginning, it kick in the same time as vtec, which is after 4k. But I haven't tune it yet, once I tune it, I'll post more info

Re: EM1 Vortech Supercharged!
Yeah, I knew the centrifugal superchargers were very "turbo like". So I'd imagine there's no extra low end torque for daily driving. Nice set-up though. I look forward to the new numbers from the tune.

Re: EM1 Vortech Supercharged!
if you're going to say real CTR then forget it LOL, because paying $300+ for a pair of headlight that won't make any difference at night. But I'm planning to get another set of headlight but titanium housing and retro fit it with some TSX projectors.
My valve cover is real this time, I got a type r but paint was effed up, so I repainted
