Default 1992 Civic Cx - Built 2.0 GSR Turbo

Finaly got around to take some OK pictures of the hatch. The digi cam I have isn't too adjustable, but luckily I had a tripod. And sure gas station pics are annoying and played out just as much as the pasedena parking lot, but there are not too many places you can take pictures at, at 3AM.

update Just had the car dyno tuned at Church Automotive Testing with the new skunk2 Intake Manifold. 346 hp to the wheel at only 13 psi. On 91 Octane!

1992 Civic Cx
Built 2.0 GSR
RS Sleeved
JE 9:1 Pistons
Eagle Rods
ARP Rod Bolts
ARP Head Bolts
Skunk2 Intake Manifold
STR Cam Gears
Delphi 550cc Injectors
Walbro Intank Pump
Hondata S200
AEM Fuel Pressure Regulator (sucks)
AEM Fuel Rail (sucks)
AEM Fuel Filter (it's a filter, can't really notice if it sucks or not)
T3/T4e .57 trim/.63 exhaust
Max Rev Manifold/2.5" downpipe/Intercooler
HKS SSQ
Thermal 3"
Skunk2 Coilovers
w/ rear Drag Springs
KYB AGX
JimFab Traction Bars
JimFab Front "Torque" Mounts
Greddy Profec B w/ remote
BFG G-Force Drag Radials

Full interior

Nothing on the car is "real spoon" or anything like that. As nice as that would be, it was just never my priority. Wheels are 100% rota, amber corners are straight off of ebay, duckbill's plastic.
And note the lugnuts. Thanks kyokugens! The key stripped on me, so I have all four wheels stuck on! And the front lugs are totaly stripped! Awesome!
Yeah, my bumpers a bit crooked, the intercooler piping was made for a GSR so it makes the bumper fit like a spandex on a 400 lb woman.


















Thanks for looking!

Just waiting for the cali heat to cool down a bit. So hopefully within the month. Just bought some 23" M&H's, so hoping for something decent.

Thanks!
I'm running him(the 2003 Cobra) again next week. It's the official rematch. But he's done quite a bit(a lot) of work since. So unless I can sneak in the slicks (), it's going to be tough.

nice motor setup. get that bumper/piping situation fixed to make it look smoother, how it should look.

nice to see another vegan on the board as well.

The black slips aren't really doing it for me... and for a car with an engine that no doubt puts down MAD power I probably would have gone with better tires.

Have you thought about switching to a Skunk2 manifold? That GS-R snail manifold has got to be choking under the turbo pressure.

So you have a AEM fuel rail and AEM FPR correct?
what kind of gauge is that mounted on top of it?
can you take a better pix?

Those are my "daily driven" tires. And they're currently stuck on there.(like stated ) I have a pair of 15x7's with some bfg drag radials that I use on those "special nights."

Yeah just waiting for sufficient funds. No complaints about the power at the moment.
Just waiting to see who i'm going to have re-tune the hondata for more boost.

Yeah, AEM rail/fpr. It's a universal autometer (0-100psi).
let me upload another.

updated with motor spec.

I just used a 90 degree brass fitting with tefflon on the pressure gauge. luckily the fuel rail has a nice hole for it.
