Traded an 07 civic lx coupe in great condition for this, trade way down but had to save this car and didn’t need the 07 anymore https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/honda-t...8d596fdcc.jpeg The day I picked her up https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/honda-t...2aa7bbcb3.jpeg Nasty https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/honda-t...23046cb02.jpeg So much eBay |

Re: My em1 build thread
basically had the car about a year and a half now, swapped it with a usdm b18c5, did all suspension, was building it for auto x but spun a rod bearing last August, been rebuilding it turbo since then, block is done, Head is with my tuner atm, and already piecing my turbo setup together now, I’ll be posting everything step by step up to current soon

Relax with the repeat posts, bud. Your pictures were flagged as unapproved, so a staff member had to approve the posts. Its a setting we have no control over, sadly.

Re: My em1 build thread
Just wanted to show some of the treatment I saved the car from, this car did have high mileage from what I understand but every single panel on the car was straight and matching number, and even the motor and trans vin matched, but the exhaust was rusted in half, break pads worn down to nothing, every single suspension bushing worn out, ball joints sway bar links and tie rod ends worn out, all 4 ball joints https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/honda-t...fbd8168b5.jpeg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/honda-t...375a68d58.jpeg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/honda-t...984e5efed.jpeg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/honda-t...a4896d1ef.jpeg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/honda-t...4cd709ef1.jpeg completely shot, had eBay rear camber kit but was only held on the body side by one bolt on both sides and they were loose, and then there is the subs everywhere, I still have to get and weld in a rear panel, and he ruined the doors completely |
Re: My em1 build thread
I have fixed everything mentioned above accept where the speakers were, I have doors but they are black so won’t be put on the car until i respect the whole car, and same for the panel under the window |
Re: My em1 build thread
Dang! Forget I said rescued: you straight up brought redemption to that thing. |

Re: My em1 build thread
Turbo time! |
Re: My em1 build thread
Engine build specs please.

Re: My em1 build thread
Everything done to the car is listed above but in a nutshell, b18c5 with wiesco pistons at 9.6:1 compression and eagle rods stock sleeves, Head is getting redone at the moment with new Supertech valve guides, Ferrea 6000 intake and comp plus exhaust valves, fresh valve job and new oem seals, Skunk2 valve springs, ti retainers, lmas, pro cam gears, and swapping my pro1 cams for tuner1 cams, the turbo is pte 5858 and probably gonna do a speedfactory a/c comparable ramhorn |
Re: My em1 build thread
I was hoping for more specific details, anyways, why the down grade from pro1 to tuner1?
|
Re: My em1 build thread
My list up top is as specific as it gets, literally everything done to the car, and I am going to tuners over pros Because I am going to be running a 5858 turbo and the pro 1+ require a 62 mm turbo or bigger which is way overkill and way too laggy for what I’m building seeing as how I only am shooting for 500 hp The original goal was to build everything to support way more horsepower when I got my forged block done but now I’m just going to have it at 500 probably for good even with sleeved block later |
Re: My em1 build thread
I meant sleeved block, my current one has forged internals but stock sleeves, night shift got me not thinking straight lol |
Re: My em1 build thread
I have however change the turbo set up that I have in mind I purchased a 5858 from here and now looking at a KLM or speedfactory AC compatible ramhorn manifold instead of a topmount and GT35r |
