That's one of the first video I've seen on UA-cam, like 15 years ago! And OMG the car and acceleration still look incredible today! This video is kind of my UA-cam base ! Thx for it!
Why do people gotta complain whether its rice or not lol. Its a light car and has 500hp, its fucking fast, has a lot of potential and would probably be real fun to drive This is coming from a non Honda civic fan.
Haters are going to hate. I personally don't like Honda's (I'm one of those "Honda's suck" kind-of-guy) but a good built like this one actually is worth respecting. It's fucking good, not rice at all, and it actually gave me a chubby watching this. I can't believe I'm even saying that but this built deserves it. Props bro.
No i like civic. My civic was a cvt, i replaced it with vtec and twin turbo. My next step is to remove the engine and make 1717 hp 😂 that's what these kids are like
I don't know what it's like off the line but that Civic seems to put its power down very well once moving. I timed that 100-160km/h (60-100mph) whilst filming the speedo at under 4secs, which is insanely quick. Good work!
Dumbasses saying they can beat that with there 500 hp muscle 😂 there's a thing called weight difference and it plays a big part of racing you would get killed by this amazing honda
+Rene Zapata Yeah well, being FWD the Civic will struggle to put the power down, still it would be fun to see what matters more, power-to-weight ratio or traction.
nice civic don't listen to the muscle heads.. all car models have good and bad to them. love my civic it was my fist car I built.. I'm currently saving to get an 69 Nova SS.
Screw all the haters. This car is a beast and will still out handle the muscle car garbage around corners at high speed and the wing does look amazing.
Ok lets get the story straight for all the assholes out there that talk shit about Honda's, sad to say i have an mk3 golf and still like Hondas... and for the putos talking shit about their Mustangs or any american car with a V8 and blower, its actually sad that i can pull out the same horsepower out of a 4-banger as you with less cylinders.
I love this video, I watched this like 5-6 years ago and it MADE me turbo my civic. 11.6 million views and still the haters post. and BTW to all haters, It takes less then $9k to buy and build civic like this, it's a hobbie, Interest, passion whatever you want to call it, why hate it/him/her do you have nothing your passionate your about?
ok, so im not a fan of hondas, but im a fan of anything clean, and the effort put in that car makes me respect it, and although its not my taste, im not gonna hate on it
I love how people hate on tuners. Squeezing 500 hp out of an Ls1 isn't that hard at all, but try squeezing it out of a 1.6L that only comes with around 150 hp stock. That in itself is an accomplishment. I personally like and respect both for what they are, I have owned muscle and I have owned imports and I have to say they both have their own special characteristics that you just can't squeeze out of the other. So in closing, I think we should just respect them from an engineering standpoint.
yup know how those winters are ....im from Montana ....my civic gets put in a storage shed for the winter : ) ....i wanna see this kia ...i have never seen anyone build one ...im SO curious to how this turned out ...any vids of this sleeper ?
@Sernasie905 short answer no. if you dont like the sound of a blowoff valve you can use what is called a diverter valve to take it's place and that will be silent and will do almost exactly the same thing, i use one over a BOV myself.
@ctcraam thank you...I love how The weight to power ratio with hondas is very overlooked. My Crx has A little over 2 CC per pound. that and a set of 14 or 15s give me a lot of torque
Hehe my civic was a cvt and fwd but then removed its muffler . now it's twin turbo. I have also ordered an exhaust pipe from ebay. Now i hope it'll make 1717 HP. It's my dream number Jokes apart 😂 Nice car man 👍
@ABreathless0blivion agreed, I prefer using a recirculating diverter valve to avoid the bov sound. It's much quieter, sounds cleaner (to me), and I like the stealth/oem factor it brings. Power isn't badly affected so it's a total win to me. Kei
@th3m8ngtree i know and corvette was undefeated in road racing for years untill carrol shelby came out with the a/c cobra so not only are we fast but our cars that can take corners can take them well
@TequilaKG well turbocharging adds to torque, of course a small engine with a big turbo will be able to breathe better in high rpm, thats why this engine revs easily to 9k
@CrimnlBT There seems to be some confusion on this page so I'll try to help. A car accelerates according to its power curve, not the torque curve, that is why you shift at high rpm even if the torque starts to go down. HP=Torque*RPM/5252. If you want to improve acceleration you can increase torque, or RPM, both are valid. A F1 car has very low torque, but can accelerate quickly due to a very high RPM. Torque is related to power through the entire range, and is one of two major factors.
The speedo is off most likely from topping out many times have you clocked it to see if it is still calibrated? I put under sized tires on my car and the speedo looked like I was driving something twice as fast and I never did anything to it. The top speed would read 220kmph but I was only going 160ish. You using Hondata? Just curious I like how you kept it originally badged and clean thanks for not making it stick out like a sore thumb eh :)
Even though I am more of a muscle car guy, i can respect and like all fast cars. What i don't respect is teens who buy these kind of cars and ruin them with ugly body kits. I gotta admit that honda engines are great pieces of engineering. Btw, great honda you got there bro!
@MrRebelAss oh and ur talking about in the 60s or so? idr if thats the time, but i remember some one saying chevy offered people 1000 dollers( back then that was the price of a new car) if they could beat it in a race. oh and is the cobra ur talking about the one that can go 80 in first?or the new zr1?
@croxley3000 the only rice there is the wing lol, since its not a rwd or awd doesn't need any down-force in the rear. but on a high performance car, I think its ok to rice it up a bit. bc you can land a punch anyway ;)
@Hexxle not exactly...any spoiler that has a lip is useful to a certain extent...these cars weigh nothing in the rear so at 140mph it helps keep the ass end from sliding around..
@dsmrider because when you get on the dyno all you wanna do is push ur car to its limits and you end up doing 2 or 3 runs on it. people tend to blow or break on the dyno.
Really nice setup. I hate ricers with a passion, and honda's rep with me has been tarnished because of it. But it isn't honda's fault, its the idiots that think their stock honda civic with a body kit, spoiler, and fart can is essentially this thing. I have a lot of respect for this thing, looks like a SOLID build.
can you dirve this around a track?? It seems that it has so much wheel spin when you accelerate that in a corner you will understeer like if you have wood front tires
For the money, civic and corolla are the best car in the world. Plenty available, parts are cheap, fully customizable, longest lasting, most reliable. sup 'em up and go faster than corvettes, all for under 30 thousand dollars...I cant wait for the hate mail this comment brings.
@thunderup86 i wasnt trying to say that a turbo is it... at 4.6 3v is good for about 450whp...i was trying to get at the fact of 60k to build a v8 to 500rwhp, compared to a 800whp I-4 for 30k...It doesn't make any sense. Twice the motor does not mean twice the money, if your picking up on what im laying down. I looked for 10 minutes and stock 4.6 can do 400-450rwhp stock internals, anything over that your gonna need bearings, rods, pistons, arps, gaskets, and yeah you can do cams and head work.
@toxiclown69 If you launch into the powerband, it's no different than low rpm torque. Also with these high revving engines, you can gear LOW because you have a long way to rev.
@ctcraam Hp and torque are relatives in internal combustion. a boosted Honda is very good at beating this issue of low end hp & torque. With the short gears you notice his wheels are breaking loose throughout the majority of gears. Torque and Hp are a form of Power-the amount of work that can be done in a certain time.[reving] His work is done once hes out of first gear his car hits boost and power band. he prob has a little over 300Ft,Lb constant to the wheels And hes weights 1700lb or so?
I hate ricers, I own a mustang and love American cars. However..... I cold only call this car a rice burner only because it's made in japan. But it's nice to see some internal engine work done. Love that you didn't install a fart pipe. Fast car man you should put on the factory rims and bumper it would be a true sleeper... Would love to race you in my SVT... tired of ricers you'd actually be some good competition! Nice work!
This is one of the best Civics I've seen in a while.. Nice work
That's one of the first video I've seen on UA-cam, like 15 years ago!
And OMG the car and acceleration still look incredible today!

Tf it's 5 yo video
Nop, 16 actually.... But thx for the referencing !

Like if you belive 99.9% of the V8 bigtalks here dont even have driver license...
Cenk Qorxmaz hahaha
No i like civic. My civic was a cvt, i replaced it with vtec and twin turbo. My next step is to remove the engine and make 1717 hp

Sometimes the algorithm delivers
This video drove us all WILD back in the day 😂
14th years ago. . .still wacthing..
Dumbasses saying they can beat that with there 500 hp muscle 😂 there's a thing called weight difference and it plays a big part of racing you would get killed by this amazing honda
+Rene Zapata Yeah well, being FWD the Civic will struggle to put the power down, still it would be fun to see what matters more, power-to-weight ratio or traction.
Sam Teks it won’t struggle to put power down tho lmao
@@griffinmackenzie 3 years later lol, the video literally shows you that it is putting the power down haha
nice civic don't listen to the muscle heads.. all car models have good and bad to them. love my civic it was my fist car I built.. I'm currently saving to get an 69 Nova SS.
Damn its 2023 and that civic is still fast ah
mean! love the four bangers!
Wow. So much hate from all the phat axx McDonalders towards a 'ricer'.
Someone's upset that a civic can beat their moms convertible v6 mustang. (:
Screw all the haters. This car is a beast and will still out handle the muscle car garbage around corners at high speed and the wing does look amazing.
U calling him a ricer but yu can't smoke him ... Dum azz haters . But nice shit dude ... Good luck on everything else .
Dear sir/madam,
I very much like your motor (Y)
That is all
;)
Bad ass car...
I used to watch this over 10 years ago!
Same here, i came for the memories
Ok lets get the story straight for all the assholes out there that talk shit about Honda's, sad to say i have an mk3 golf and still like Hondas... and for the putos talking shit about their Mustangs or any american car with a V8 and blower, its actually sad that i can pull out the same horsepower out of a 4-banger as you with less cylinders.
Who gives a shit about horsepower? It's torque that matters
This is one of the more clean and well put together turbo hondas that I've seen. I'd drive it.
God that BOV sounds amazing.
Beautiful car man. I know people hate on the civic ricers but that car pumps respect it....
This has always been my dream car
I love this video, I watched this like 5-6 years ago and it MADE me turbo my civic.
11.6 million views and still the haters post.

I owna Mustang so know where I come from...
Man this little car is SICK!
There is a difference between a rice bucket and well built car!
Good job!
Very quick civic. It would surely give my 350gt skyline a run for it
My most favorite video on all of UA-cam!
Nice build, subtle body work...the way it should be done.
i love the turbo when he shifts at 0:42-0:55
I love this car, I admire asian tuned cars. It's simply so awsome!
Great job for the tuner/tuning company!
I love how people hate on tuners. Squeezing 500 hp out of an Ls1 isn't that hard at all, but try squeezing it out of a 1.6L that only comes with around 150 hp stock. That in itself is an accomplishment. I personally like and respect both for what they are, I have owned muscle and I have owned imports and I have to say they both have their own special characteristics that you just can't squeeze out of the other. So in closing, I think we should just respect them from an engineering standpoint.
do you still have this EK4? I own an EJ1, just hoping this beauty is still on the road..
Yes it is a Honda - Engineering way beyond it's time - Always years ahead in fuel efficiency, handling and power per litre - The Power of Dreams :)
honda civic + vtec+turbo=Pure power
I want to have it..That noise is something beautiful.. Can u tell me what parts you used to build this machine?
Love the sound of the turbo whistle!!
i like how they show you speed and tac while it is on a dyno, easy to top a car out on a dyno.
I don't know why all these people hate on civics. I drive an em2, it's not fast at all, but the gas mileage it gets is amazing.
thats sick. is it REALLY a 1.4? and also, how does the car manage with so much power going to the front wheels?
INSANE! and good job on keeping it clean and not rice
yup know how those winters are ....im from Montana ....my civic gets put in a storage shed for the winter : ) ....i wanna see this kia ...i have never seen anyone build one ...im SO curious to how this turned out ...any vids of this sleeper ?

why cant people respect something that someone has put time and money into no matter where it comes from
@ctcraam thank you...I love how The weight to power ratio with hondas is very overlooked. My Crx has A little over 2 CC per pound. that and a set of 14 or 15s give me a lot of torque
@croxley3000 i dont know if YOU noticed the speedo but its in kmh, he got to maybe 160-170
Hehe my civic was a cvt and fwd but then removed its muffler . now it's twin turbo. I have also ordered an exhaust pipe from ebay. Now i hope it'll make 1717 HP. It's my dream number
Jokes apart 😂 Nice car man 👍

Kei
that turbo is unforgivingly responsive, dude
this car sounds beautiful
I hope after 7 years this guy learned how to change gears.
Wow that thing is fast! What kind of cluster is that? Ek4?
oldie but goodie :D
@th3m8ngtree i know and corvette was undefeated in road racing for years untill carrol shelby came out with the a/c cobra so not only are we fast but our cars that can take corners can take them well

I'm not a civic person but if you can't argue with 500hp
@croxley3000 the only rice there is the wing lol, since its not a rwd or awd doesn't need any down-force in the rear. but on a high performance car, I think its ok to rice it up a bit. bc you can land a punch anyway ;)
Thats what i call a nice turbo boost =D
@Hexxle not exactly...any spoiler that has a lip is useful to a certain extent...these cars weigh nothing in the rear so at 140mph it helps keep the ass end from sliding around..
Legendary video!
I'm really curious on how long that built motor will last.
Awesome power for a B16
When a Civic is actually tuned and not riced up!
I Like American and Foreign Cars......but no body can deny Honda's reliability.
That civic is freakin quick
@dsmrider because when you get on the dyno all you wanna do is push ur car to its limits and you end up doing 2 or 3 runs on it. people tend to blow or break on the dyno.
@skyline444 some speedo's don't have a bar at the end to stop the indicator, so it will just continue going on.
@CrimnlBT we can get them in 4L over in Australia. Full sized family sedan as well.
when you built your turbo motor what crankshaft did you use the stock one or a forged one
Really nice setup. I hate ricers with a passion, and honda's rep with me has been tarnished because of it. But it isn't honda's fault, its the idiots that think their stock honda civic with a body kit, spoiler, and fart can is essentially this thing. I have a lot of respect for this thing, looks like a SOLID build.
how did you get all that in a 1.4 !? and also, what parts did you use?
Piękna maszyna!
can you dirve this around a track?? It seems that it has so much wheel spin when you accelerate that in a corner you will understeer like if you have wood front tires
@UPcomingBARBER08 That was what toretto said on The Fast and Furious 1, right?
Just can help to put the volume to max to listen to the sound of that turbine..seriously vry nice car!!!:)
@CrimnlBT btw you hondas need a turbo and 20-30 psi to make 500 hp when us american can do it normally aspirated.
nothing beats the sound of the beautiful old classic american muscle :)
Mmmm Is A Beautifull jdm ! No More 500 Hp Is a Bestial Machine
AutoTopNL before they became popular:
Nice work man !!!
hows the maintenance on that thing???? does it only need oil and air filter change????
@quickstanger .....because of huge displacement. Not against it or anything, I just think power is power no matter how you make it.
European Pride Dieses Auto Ist Hammer Wunderbar Und Sehr Mutterf... Gut : P
Ich liebe Dieses Video Für immer.

What does it mean when it says Sleeved B16A2? I know B16A2 is the engine but what makes it sleeved?

@SICKJ0KER couple of nissan sr20 motors would pull a premium one week before race wars huh?
Beatiful Honda s' engine, good work!!!
@toxiclown69 If you launch into the powerband, it's no different than low rpm torque. Also with these high revving engines, you can gear LOW because you have a long way to rev.
little beast.. nice video man.
@KrazyRuski defenitly, a of the shelf turbo it is atleast 1500, atleast that is what i have seen on the net
