[99sivic]

tell me what you guys think. im droping a fully built b16a in to it turboed also

 

[dtgrowl]

1. are those 18 inch wheels?...yuck
2. i dont like black on black
3. i dont like two tone paint jobs (nor pinstripes)
4. you're replacing a b16 with a b16??
5. i dont like the projector headlights

anyways, what do you plan to do with this car after it's swapped and turboed? just a daily driver or what?

Sweet ride, thats a nice looking si you got there. I like the split red/black color you got going there. So whats its original color the red?

 

[99sivic]

thank you

 

[99sivic]

actually black and thank you

 

[00 Coupe EK3]

actually black and thank you

Ah ok, well they both look like the stock color just was a random guess. So your motor, did you fully build the whole jdm motor or is it jdm block and your old b16a3 head built?

 

[99sivic]

fully built race motor it has 8.8 compression which is bacally perfect for a turbo

not feeling the two-tone paint but hey it's your car

Nice looking turbo build. Got any more pics of it? I would say if you could return the exterior to a stock/sleeper look it would look great. OEM or CTR headlights, front/rear OEM lips or Mugen valences, and some polished Si wheels. Oh, and return to car to FBP w/ no pinstripe...

yeah id say, low ends gonna suck but b16's in general have really bad low end, lol. What type of turbo kit did you go with a t3/t4 type? And what kinda numbers you trying for?

 

[99sivic]

thank you guys for ur opions i do have more pictues if ur have a aim i will send more its to much of a hassule to put it on here

 

[99sivic]

yeah it a t3/t4 type and im hoping to be around 450hp it might happen it might not

hmm, well you at least have the motor for it. Is that a .57 trim turbo? As long as you got a nice tune that should be a reachable number, is this gonna be your dd?

 

[99sivic]

yeah its a .57 and its going to be on the track more than the street unless we have alot of nice days in ohio

 

[SlowTEC]

If ya don't mind me asking, what brand turbo/manifold?

 

[99sivic]

I like it bro. You always see either stock looking or rice looking civics. Yours is neither. very unique and I give you 2 thumbs up for that.
