Its an auto omfg

 

Umm... it's an automatic. Umm....looks like you still have quite a bit of work to do on the car. Umm....good luck man hope everything works out okay!

 

yea umm sounds like a presentation..lol

relax a bit OP

...

o0o sounds siiick

it sounded like stick when i heard a click shifting into drive

then i saw the reverse lights flash on at the end..

not bad though. *applause*

 

I hope that isnt all its got because the way that fly bye looked its got aways to go before it will put up a fight to a S/C Si. Good luck on your adventure. Getting there though that is always the best part when you take on a new project.

 

its not tuned, and i wasnt redlining it.

you can pretty much just say it was all for show, cuz ppl want updates and all that stuff

 

I guess the title should read 'Turbo Civic LX videos'. I'm not really a Honda guy in the sense I'm not educated on modding Honda engines any farther than bolt-ons (I'm a DSM guy from way back...but have an SI in the garage now). Did you go with the LX because you wanted a SOHC and were going to do wheels anyway?! I'm just curious as to why a tuner would buy an LX and a turbo kit versus just buying an SI, which I figure are about equivalent in cost. Granted, I realize your car has more power than a stock SI; I am just wondering whether you purchased the LX planning to turbo it, or were going for economy and then got bit by the tuner bug.

why would a tuner even buy an Si in the first place?

there is obviously better out there

why do people buy the new Honda Fit and modify those? why does ANYONE modify their car?

(he bought the EX used for hella cheap btw)

first, yea its an lx but i didnt title this thread.

i bought the car for someone that made it look like an si. that had nothing to do with why i bought it. the price tag was 10 grand, and i wasnt gonna pass. i was much of a "tuner" before i bought the car, it grew on me and now im trying to do the best with what i have.

 

10 grand. That's a pretty good deal.

 

That is a good deal....

Not to mention the money he saves over the Si in insurance payments....

 

Whoa!!!! Don't start on that.... we already have a thread that went on like 3 pages arguing over cost effeciency between si and non.... don't need another one.

Well I can see I need to explain myself again so here goes......

Insurance payments would depend on the Insurance companies as well. I'll bet my bottom dollar that I have a much better insurance rate than alot of people my age on HT. Why? Insurance company. If an Si owner has 0 tickets and the LX,EX owner has 8 or 9, who's gonna get the better rate given the same insurance company? You can't count insurance cause there's too many variables that affect it.

 

The turbo sounds great, almost intimidating, especially in the 1st clip. Keep the videos coming.

 

19 total tickets
Have an 06 SI
Have INS. thru State Farm
91 dollars a month = Priceless.

 

Man i dont know who's sexier the turbo sound or enrique.... Hahahah i luv the sound, im soo excited!

Yes but you're 27 years old. Imagine what it would be if you had ZERO tickets on file or maybe even just a couple.

 

How high does the auto tranny let you rev to anyway?

stock i can rev it to maybe 7,000. but i havent gone past 6,000 with it untuned

 

Congrats on the setup, seems like its pretty fun to drive. You need to adjust your BOV though... it should only being blowing off hardcore when there's a load on the engine(IE while the car is in motion)... adjusting it softer so that it goes off while the car is parked is cool and all but can cause compressor surge when you're actually putting a load on the engine. I know you mentioned it needs to be tuned but I'd harden the BOV up a little bit to prevent damage to your turbo... that and get it tuned ASAP! Driving on a boosted motor without tuning is extremley risky /stupid

 

"i-VTEC" on the side of the car?
