Well, here it is in all it's glory. I drove it to work today. Running nicely up to 5k RPM, but then I have it running so fat<too much fuel> it boggs, and reminds me I'm still breaking it in

Keeping it down to 5k rpm and 7-8 pounds of boost for now, I spent the first 500 miles on no boost 3500-4000 rpm limit.

Yeah, I know the car desperately needs a paintjob, but that's in the works! Enjoy!








Sorry about the biggish pics, but i think they're deserved.

Ahh tell me those are not clear tail lights...

 

They're to be swapped for JDM's soon... I sold my stockers is the ONLY reason they exist.

 

Hehe...good ol' clear tails. Hey how much did the air to water ic cost u?

 

Ok good, at least they are going far away.

 

Air/Wateer I/c is MUCH more expensive than a conventional FMIC, but it's NICE and SLEEPER and I love having the 7PSI in my car in FIRST gear by 3500RPM

No cam gears to make it spool faster either!

Anyway, I probably have about $700 in the intercooler setup.

$425 to spearco for the actualy piece
$100 for the exchanger in the front <LARGE 4 pass fluidyne unit>
$100 for the Bilge pump <loud, but switchable from inside during normal, non boosted cruizing, can be drowned out by the stockish radio>
$50-100 for various fittings, hoses and raw materials.

LOTS of one off custom stuff
Bracket to hold intercooler
Bracket to hold water cooler
Custom aluminum box in the stock resonator location

But it works and works well, it's all good.

 

What kind of fuel management?

 

nice name,
nice car

 

lol i thought that was you posting. I was like,"I thought he had an si?"

 

Very nice!

The air to water intercooler looks cool, I never saw a member here having one.

 

It IS an Si

As far as fuel management, I've got a Z-Dyne Gold ecu, a set of Venom 550CC injectors, with a IBM P1-166 Laptop. GS-T Fuel Pump, soon to have braided stainless feel and return lines.

SiRkid:
Huh, interesting... I've been using "SiR Kid" on various sites since Oct 1999.

Thanks for the kind replies, everybody! It's too bad that as is, I just got a stick broke off in my *** by a Stock Maxima... But only by a car length, at 7 PSI, and revving to 4500.

It will be fast. I SWEAR it :b

nice sleeper. I'd laugh my *** off if you every reved on me but then cry when you left me.

 

You know what i meant

I love those year 3-door civics. The CRXs are still the best though

 

ur car is not a sleeper with those stickers on the side of ur car..take them off and than it is a sleeper

 

I agree wholeheartedly...you tooks the words right out of my fingers!!!

 

i thin kthat makes it more of a sleeper. Most cars I see with those stickers do NOT have the swap done to them. Just ricers. By looking slightly ricey people would assume his car is slow.

 

Nice nice Jody, as always You know if you were to take out that pillar (mount your meters elsewhere), and remove the DOHC VTEC stickers, you'd be 100% sleepin

my car is in the garage again, I blew up piston number 4 (again) and bent some rods. 1.5bar wasn't such a healthy thing to do to the engine.. so now I am changing new pistons, rods, rings, etc.. ugh, another big bill to pay. I think this will be the last time I fix up this engine.. if it breaks again, i'm gonna get a B18C dropped in. Whether the turbo goes in or not, I don't know - i'm still thinking about it. Getting tired of having to fix up the engine every 4-5 months - maybe I should just turn the boost down..

 

you need stock OEM rims too be a true sleeper..but the car looks good

 

Maybe you should tune the engine a little more? If number 4 is always failing, I would investigate your fuel delivery. I know you have 4 additional injectors, but it looks like they're welded into the plenum and not each individual intake runner. The air movement inside the plenum might not let enough fuel into cyl 4. It's just a thought.

 

i think rims should stay...... thats a definitely fast car right there... there's a crappys 94 si around my area with b18 and revhard on it.. car look like crap but under the hood is nothin but gold blingin...

bad *** ride.... im thinking about getting me one of those 4th gen civic.

 

I like that. Sweet ant to the point. Keep up the good work. How much $$$ do you estimate you have in the car? How much of that is under the hood?

 

damn... that IS a sleeper.

 

lose the stickers, keep the wheels and clear tail lights. Otherwise, it'll be too normal looking, and you won't get any races. Just trust me on that.

 

Bah, stickers and wheels are staying, JDM tails and upper spoiler are coming.

I'm thinking of putting on some Advan RG's in white with blue or bronze... Any opinions on that?

BTW, there's a thread about this same thing in the EF/CRX forum... It's got my FULL list of engine mods. Scroll down to see the list.

I've got about 8k including the swap under the hood. Probably 15k in the car including the car and all the broken parts. Expensive hobby, but It's been fun for the last 3 years!

a true sleeper has a FULL stock exterior... rims and such (no stickers either)

anyway, nice setup
