Default Twin Turbo RWD V8 Civic

since I Never in 10 years documented any of my builds I figure id start off with this one. A 92 civic dx coupe, I alerady went 10.4@139mph with a B in it so this time I want to do something different. I still have my 700hp fwd hatch to play with. before I start, I just want to say, Im not really a crazy honda person, and don't think honda's are kings, nor do I droll over honda's and eat/sleep honda like most of you do, <<<no offense as "most" honda guys are. I JUST LIKE TO BUILD CARS, not just swap honda engine and d to b,h,k etc. American, import, whatever has speed I like. oh btw, I have a 1000rwhp car as well.

In this one, I am Putting a 1UZ into it, RWD converting it, solid 5 link, then twin 67mm turbos. Goal is 800'R'whp ON COMPLETE STOCK ENGINE. ""OH MY GOSH CAN IT---YES, IT CAN HANDLE IT"" And under 2500lbs race trim. Before it was 1880lbs with b-turbo setup.

For those that don't know, it's a v8 out of the Toyota/Lexus sc400, ls400. this one is from the LS400. Although there is different between the two (small things) 4cam, 32valve non vvti.

It'll be power by AEM EMS, chevy Rear, A340E trans, twin 67mm's, ID2100cc.

today is the first day I started on it, so it's just cut and mock up, goal is to be up and running FULLY by next week. that is the goal.

As always, with this kind of things they'll always be lovers and then there's the haters. So let the love and hate chine on in........

Day5....

FIRST I'D LIKE TO SAY, ""I LOVE ALL YOU HATERS"", YOU ARE THE ONES THAT MAKES THIS PROJECT GET DONE FASTER AND FASTER, THE MORE YOU HATE, THE MORE MOTIVATED I GET. SO YAYYYY HATE AWAY, YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE.......


Today was a great day, even tho I did ALOT of driving around and doing stuff I still managed to get alot done. All links in the rear is finish, REAR END IS FINISHED. MOTOR SETUP is FINISHED, TRANNY SETUP FINISHED, all parts togeter, wiring installed. Drive shaft is mock up and will be done tomm, looks like this car will drive all motor wed because I don't have all my turbo stuff ready, and also i'll be leaving town Thursday so no more time to mess with it until I come back....

Im so happy, I have haters to support my going forward of this project, thanks to them this is happening, without them I wouldn't feel the need to keep going...thanks HATERS, KEEP UP THE HATING, LOVE YA......

Enjoy the pictures as I didn't get to take many, was too tired.
