I know you want something tech, here it is: How many of you are using 205's in the front and 195's in the rear? Is it better or what?

Is that an intercooler in the front? That biotch is huge...

yeaaaa its slow

That looks like that civic that was in super street a while back, with an h22 swap and turbo.

It said the car made like 448 hp if I remember correctly.

Pics arent to clear.

thats a good question.
there was a red crx in Sport compact car a while back that had that setup for auto x. i was always wondering what and how the benefits would be.

go get some close up pics....

Yeah, that's an intercooler and it has a B18B in it. I live in Maine, so there is no way it has been in a magazine. As of close ups, not so hot. Winter destroyed the paint on the front end, once it's repainted, which should be soon, I'll post close ups for your enjoyment.

The new SCC has an article about a Japan ITR set up for the touges and it runs 205s in the front and 195s in the rear.

I myself am curious also as to how much power you are getting out of that b18b.. I am torn between getting a gsr or ls..

that doesnt mean you cant be in a magazine

When's the last time you have seen a magazine car with scratched up paint?

WangChung

205's up front and 195's in the rear would probably get squirley, wouldnt it? less contact patch in the rear.

vladd

dang B18B EK, could you make those pics any smaller? who cares if the paint's chipping, we need some closeups it looks pretty good

B18B EK

I don't know what kind of numbers I'm getting out of my set up, but I know traction is an issue. I just ordered a quaiffe, so it will hook up much quicker. I have the Rev Hard 2C kit on my LS and it definetely bails, I would have to say that a turbo Ls is much more fun than a GSR. And for more pics, give me a liitle time and I'll have them for you.

Nothing.Special

about how much money to you think youve invested into the car engine wise? because im thinking of doing an ls turbo but i dont even have a price range of whta im looking at. . .btw nice car, i got the same kit on my coupe

deviant1

wow! not one flame yet about the body kit. looks good man, i dig the buddy club kit on EK hatches. some tech: if traction is an issue, how do you launch when you're at the strip? and for turbos, dont you have to launch at a high RPM so the turbo is spooled up when you take off?

B18B EK

I don't go to the strip, the hatch is only for my enjoyment. So launching isn't one of my main focuses. As for the investment, I have probably put in around 7 or 8 grand into power related stuff. The engine is stock, so it's not boosted that high, around 6 psi right now. Which leads me to ask, how much boost do you think I can run with the setup I have right now? I know it's running rich right now.

Bailhatch

It looks like a fake intercooler to me. that must be why the pics are so small.

B18B EK

Bailhatch has a VW, don't listen to him.

Bailhatch

HAD a VW. I own your hatch G-off, plus I installed that plastic JDM IC. It was hella hard yo.

B18B EK

That dude is a straight up hater, he's just mad that I can take him in his girlfriends SI all day long. That's right, I said girlfriends. Plus I saw him driving that VW yesterday.

Bailhatch

Hey Geoff, Seriously I don't think 195s in the back would help you at all. You already have snap oversteer problems now. Plus you can't rotate em.

It could be fun though, if you like sliding, you could probably just trail brake a little and let the tail come around.

Anyone seen the EF hatch in the "VTEC Magic" section of bestmotoring #5 (i think) He has the 205/195 setup and it definatly can corner well. They said it had a relatively soft setup though.

B18B EK

True, I don't really want it, I was just curious about it. I just thought it was a pretty cool concept. I wanted to get some feed back about it.

very nice
