Alright this will be my thread that i will update as progress on the car is made.

i have set a goal of getting my 92 eg hatch into 12.99 or better territory using the current b18b1 ls motor and trans with a healthy sho of nitrous. while keeping a budget of 2grand or less.



ABOUT ME: name is steve,im 29 in south florida,been racing at our local track<moroso> for about 10 years on and off in several diffrent vechiles,ranging from a 86 monte carlo with a fuuly built 355 and slicks running 12 flat@112mph to saturn sc2 on spray.

im pretty good with cars and do allmost all my work myself with some freinds helping out along the way,i must admit im not to familiar with hondas,but im learning ive done nitrous installs,porting polishing heads,rebuilding fwd transmissions and installing lsd's.i have a good buddy who owns a eg hatch and is my go to guy for my honda questions,lol





ABOUT THE CAR: Well i ended up with this hatch from a co worker,i had a 2000 monte carlo ls that was clean but high mileage,i ended up trading him for the civic plus he gave me a grand to even things out,it has a cheap red paintjob that is fairly new,b18b1 swap with intake,exhaust,and chipped pcm. the car has run high 14's from its previous owner.i have done a compression check and all cylinders are around 180 to 190.doesnt use any oil,no smoke pulls pretty hard!

the rims in the pics below are gone and its currently on 14" steelies.also i hit a possum the other night that ripped the front lip off as with some paint on the bumpercar has ice cold ac



THE GOAL: To run a 12.99 or better on nitrous for less then 2grand total cost.

now that means 2grand in parts that will make it go down the track and do the 12second boogie.i have already told my old lady i want some rims for christmas,and they will not count towards the budget,neither will cosmetic or maintance items,i plan on keeping it a DAILY DRIVER..but this is wheir the contrversy would begin,people have their own ideas of what constitutes a daily driver....i have no problem driving a gutted loud *** car,ive done it in the past,i plan on running a open header with a simple turndown, probably not legal,but ive gotten away with it before as long as i dont drive like a asshat racing on the streets i should be fine like before,again im 29 my street racing days are over!

i plan on keeping the ac,but if it comes down to it and im a tenth away from hitting a 12second pass,ac will go.



SO HERE ARE SOME PICS OF THE CAR THE DAY I GOT IT.

92egcivicls

So the only chance in hell i got of making this turd runs 12.s is making it as light as possible and thats what ive done.i removed everything that wasnt needed and of course ill pull the passenger side seat for track runs.front side windows and tracks were removed and all of the interior except for the dash.


So to keep the rain out i got some 1/8 lexan from a co worker who used to work for a plastic company,he wouldnt take no $$$ for it,although he only had enough to do the front and rear side windows.being a leadman at my job has it perks!lol
so today me and a freind installed it on the front side windows,i didnt want to rivet it over the door frames so we cut it perfect to fit in the original seal of the glass.although a few screws were needed to keep it in place. we ran out of light before we got to the rear side windows though
so this coming weekend ill get the rear done,remove the aftermarket exhaust,get a CHEAP header on their.
the car feels like it gained 20hp lol seriously,its a blast to drive! chirps 3rd gear nicely although the tq steer is bad!!!
a lsd might have to happen,but that might put me over my budget,i plan on running drag radials on the 14 steelies in the front with white 15" rota slipstreams as my daily wheels.
i will update next weekend,,,and i expect some n/a track times and a dyno run here in the near future,stay tuned.
here are the current pics.and thoughts/suggestions/flames are open!!!lol

I think you could have met your goals and left the interior in. I ran a 13.0 with a stock B16A and a 75 shot on my first time out (88' CRX). You'll find that the Honda's are so light from the factory that it doesn't take much to go fast.

92egcivicls

SWEET,thats what i wanted to hear?
were you on street tires?

wheir do i get fuel from for a wet kit? im used to getting it from the test port so many american vechilles have,but i dont see one on my turd
,also i dont know if the fuel pump was swapped out for the intgra pump?
should i swap it for a 195 walbro to be on the safe side?or a 255?
i think a 195 would be fine for n2o am i correct?

I was using a 255, but I knew I was going turbo. I can't remember the capabilities of the pumps, you'll have to go on their website and check that out yourself.
I used NOS. The directions showed cutting the rubber fuel line and putting in a barbed T fitting. I didn't like that idea so I drilled and tapped the banjo bolt on top of the fuel filter. I ran the NOS fuel line straight into it.

Nice

what mirrors are those?

92egcivicls

i have no idea about the mirrors they were on it when i bought it,sorry i cant help ya mang!

reactone

You could turbo that thing for well under 1k and hit low 12's easy. I have zero experience with nitrous, but I'm sure a healthy shot can get you there as well. Another plus for you is that you have driving experience, I predict you'll hit your goal and then some..

kyorishin

look like replica spoon mirros painted imo

good luck with the project man.

slo_hatch

damn...nevermind...orange slips and front lip are gone. i wanted to buy those slips. lol

92egcivicls

i forgot to mention a co worker has a intergra ls&lt;who always tries to do the ricer fly bye on me&gt; AND GETS RAPED,lol

wanted my ugly IMO carbon fiber huge intake pipe and filter,so i traded him for his injen polished intake tube.

and not that you guys havent seen a eg with lexan and a rear strutbar i figured to show progress,i went out to the garage and snapped a few pics.

i was able to use the factory seals for the rear just like thr front,but i put some clear silicone on the inner lip just to be safe.and the car doesnt leak a drip even with the garden hose right on top of the lexan.im gonna get some black paint at the local hobby store to duplicate the factory glass lines like the rear windows have on the eg's...problem im having is the lexan is hard to see out of WTF? ive had g.e. lexan before and it was crystal clear,this stuff is like hazed although it was new and had the protective tape over it?wtf?

i mean i can see that theirs a car next to me,just hard to tell what it is,lol

anyone know what to clean lexan with?

money is tight with christmas around the corner,but i want to get it to the track the way it sits now while the nice colder weather is here,after the first of the year i should be in bettershape to get this project really rolling,lol

its funny the looks i get daily driving it.

Weren't there people breaking into the 12s with stock (or close to it) Z6/Y8s and some spray?

I think Mista Bone did it on a 75 shot, there was also Single Cam Sam (or Screamer) IIRC.

92egcivicls

even better then,ive learned over the years to set my goals reasonable as not to be dissapointed

ABK

get rid of the sunroof. Get a gsr or si trans, some slicks 22 or 23 tall. You will need a strong clutch. Get a decent header, loose the exhaust. start with 75 shot, it that doesn't do it I guess you will need to change the jets. Some nitrous safety items would be nice. Car will do 12s for sure, see how far into 12s you can go.

92egcivicls

you stated my plans exactly,with the exception of the sunroof,its my DD and i smoke and now with lexan i need it,plus im already got a 4to1 header on its way and id like to be able to not worry about carbon monixide as i plan on running the header open with a simple dump.the exhaust is going to a freind of mine,
and i plan on a window switch,blowdown tube,digital wot switch,and purge+heater,gauge for the n20.
ive ran nitrous before i know its better to do it right the first time.
swapping the trans doesnt seem feasible for my budget,i dont think its terribly tall compared to other cars out their i hit 4th at 80mph.,adding a trans like you mentioned would be nice but add to traction problems on the spray,i have a budget and my trans is solid no grinds,so im sticking with it,a lsd maybe,but we will see!
oh yeah car has a act clutch and fidenza flywheel
