The long awaited in depth look of the second Built By Legends restomod project car, the true JDM 1994 Honda Civic SiR II EG6 is here. Displayed in Spoon Sports Type One garage in the 2020 Spoon Collection, JDM and Honda fans alike were excited at the sight of something that has never been done before. A custom side flow exhaust muffler made of titanium that is based on a similar design that was used in the 1993-4 JTCC (Japan Touring Car Championship) Civic Ferio SiR EG9 with a special B18C based 2.0 litre engine giving about 300PS! The purpose of going to this extreme of exhaust routing not serves to increase torque and power, but to achieve something that most road car tuners have not been able to attempt or have the know how to do. By making the manifold to the side, the engineers are able to lower the engine by an impressive 40mm. This makes a significant difference to the centre of gravity, which will have a direct effect on handling characteristics. Making this closer to a true 'racing car' on the road.
BBL"s partners are renowned top of the Japanese tuning industry Spoon Sports and Opera Performance, but in this episode we also reveal the man responsible for crafting the beautiful and intricate titanium exhaust system, which is complete from manifold to tail pipe. This one off system has seen uncountable hours of design, testing, prototype making, fitting to make achieve the high standards that BBL has envisioned for its fully tuned road ready car.
A car that has engine power with out a finely tuned chassis will not be pleasurable to drive or achieve the performance to call it a unique tuning car. For BBL, simply restoring the chassis was not enough. In order to make this the best handling EG generation Civic that fans can admire and be the next level dream, the body had to be strengthened more without the use of race only roll cages. This was achieved by perhaps an industry first of bonding copious amounts of carbon fibre directly to the body in key strategic areas, thereby increasing rigidity to levels that potentially exceed a Type R body.
Join us in this video as explore the technical details and the build that is done by some of the best in the motorsports and tuning industry from Japan. Built By Legends, not by amateurs in a backyard.

Imagine if your job was to work in such a place, designing and developing these kinds of projects. Now imagine that your job is to research, document and report on these projects. What a dream job you have!
My dream man!
You could if you had the ideas.
Imagine a fartcan that looks like a chinese takeout box🥡with lo mein noodles that flap in the wind🍜
Imagine the guy who has to take care of finances. "TITANIUM EXAUST? CARBON FUSING?! WE'LL GO BANKRUPT!"
boring......
You have made this channel into one of the best car channels online. Simply amazing. Thank you for showing Japan and these amazing machines. We love Japanese culture here in America.
I agree
go back weeb
Grey color is used to make it easier for spotting cracks, in case the body is stressed too much.
If that was the case, white would have been used.
The background music at the start really hits the spot ✌🏾😎✌🏾
Whats the name of the song?
I'd like to know too
Mami Ayukawa - Intense
Also the song playing throughout minute 10!
@@visionenippon-captbradford9344 thanks
The 90s era JTCC and JGTC cars are the ones I adore the most. Sadly those two racing series got very little air time in the US even long after those series were over but I built many scale models of GT-R's like the famous blue Calsonic R32 just to name one. Love what Built by Legends is doing and I appreciate this channel covering it in such detail.
Captain Bradford keeps calling this tuning, I think Engineering would be a better word here? Fantastic!
Reengineering haha
I believe he mentioned it in a previous video, Japanese tuning philosophy is essentially engineering balance.
I would love to drive one of these Civics BBL. What a mixture between tuning, engineering, passion and art. Superexcited to see captain testdrive it.
This is truly amazing. Japan RULES!
indeed
My favorite YT channel by far. Capt always giving the in-depth details. What a beautiful build. Now lets get a restomod series on Capt's EK9
I'm not too crazy about Civics but I have to admit they might be the most "go-kart" cars ever made. Pure fun.
*angry Miata noises*
the very rare fwd go kart lol
Caterham owners tend to disagree 🤣
Under dog kings*
@@positivesquad Why you have to come here with your superior knowledge of go-karts and ruin my day? Off to a secluded island with you... again!
Infinite amount of love and respect for the authenticity of this this channel. Thankyou JDM Masters ❤️🔥
What an ABSOLUTE trip it was to see myself and my project eg6 inside this video, thank you for using my clip, it seemed to be one of the only low budget clips you used. It's an honor to be in a video with such a prestigious build of an eg!!!!!
what and Amazing build and every bit of detail is gorgeous..also that exhaust is absolutely stunning, but does it negatively affect intake air temps with it being right next to the airbox and intake at all.? i see that there is some bits of heat shielding, but I'm still curious about it.
This is the finest video that UA-cam recommend me in a long time. What a masterpiece to watch with the morning coffee
The exhaust work is seriously impressive! N/A builds are always fun to watch!
The exhaust was designed by collaboration with yoshimura
Vacuum Forming creates "structural carbon-fiber". Anyone can mold regular carbon-fiber, but for structural purposes it needs to be Vacuum Formed!
Done by opera performance
It also absorbs/spreads the resin when vacuumed. Pretty formal practice in composite damage repair in aviation =)
Love that 80's style intro music.. god I love Japan
Oh the EG6! Such an iconic 90s car. This Civic(in a Coupe version) was actually my very first car when I turned 18 and I was able to afford my first car haha..
I'm a Subaru fan now.. but this EG6 is the one that started my big Love for Hondas, the Integra GSR, the Prelude, The Fit and later the beloved S2000.
Now this EG6 here is simply sick! Thank you for this video..
Honda for life.
Thank you for bringing out more top notch content.
Absolutely wonderful video! I really love the information and dedication you all provide. Now I have a greater understanding of why my Tomei powered exhaust is created the way it is 👍🏽
Jesse Spec Shows up at 0:18 hahaha! Otherwise very cool video brother!
Wow I’d love to visit famous shops like this someday! That’s just so awesome! Much love from Texas!
the tuning is spot on this is an ideal eg6 to own!!
Crazy good resto. Need a manifold like that for my ek9, it looks wild.
Wow great episode! Thank you 🙏
I want to see more on this build, hope you have a chance to show us more. 😍✌🏻
Oh yeah... Brings back a lot of fun memories. That Honda VTEC scream!
Excellent work, Captain!
as an eh3 owner who bought it from the 1st owner back in 2000, who still has it in his garage as an ongoing project car, this video makes me drool. Can't wait for the update. Arigato.
Wow! What a build! It's very nice without a turbo and you don't need it at that kind of build.
I agree some cars are better n/a I think it’s a more pure experience, love the super smooth acceleration
This is an inspirational video, thanks 😊
That BG sound is on point!
Really love the effort and details in these videos and reference to bestmotoring videos many thanks again fan from Ireland
Amazing! I`ll waiting for the next video! Thanks from Brazil!
Ex Spoon and Ex Yoshimura combined! Those headers look so powerful! NA FTW 🇯🇵
When I watch your videos I fall asleep not because they are boring but because they are so well made with the nice melodies from behind and all these Japanese details that remind you of a dream. Thank you for the good work you are doing and I sincerely regret the evolution of the car over the last decade.
I would love to test drive that car. The exhaust manifold looks amazing and the lower center of gravity and the carbon reinforcements will make a great difference. It’s great to see the 90’s Honda are still alive. I love my S2000, but I also love my CRX Delsol. Both different concepts but really special machines. Well done Spoon as always
Same Carbon process on a SiR Del Sol here atm
Del Sol is not a crx - change my mind
@@Jon-vm3qw x3 JDM Models here mate...they are all CRX SiR... do your reseacrch.
Jon The Delsol is the third generation of the CRX
thank you for the subtitles
If this was 2 days long video I would watch it and forget about time. Very informing, thank you!
This is a Civic I could drive. Honda is bullet proof. I’m a new subscriber and love your videos.
Been waiting for this one🔥
Wow this was super interesting and has a lot of great ideas for future retro modding my GF8.
8:34 wow, that exaust looks light, holding it with one hand, amazing!
Sadly when I visited Spoon they didn’t have much for my Mitsubishi, so I went back to the USA empty handed on parts. Type One down the road was pretty damn impressive though, I remember seeing an exhaust just like the one in your video being built. Japan has to be one of the most amazing places I’ve ever been, and I can’t wait to make it back as soon as this corona crap is gone!
Also just so we’re clear and for everyone that has never been to Spoon Sports Japan in person. They sell parts for Dihatsu, Honda, Isuzu, Lexus, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Subaru, Suzuki, Toyota, Alfa Romeo, Audi, BMW Mini, Citroen, Fiat, Maserati, Mercedes Benz, Mini (classic), Opel, Peugeot, Renault, and Volkswagen.
Lol. Hope u didnt make the trip to japan spoon for ur Mitsubishi.
@@r2d2cold9 truuuuuuuuuuuuuuu haha
well Spoon is well known for their specialty in tuning honda cars, i think they never tune any other car brand aside from honda. But there are many tuning and modification shop in japan that can tune your mitsubishi
Was just one of the many places I stopped by with my friends. I’m honestly not a fan of Hondas. But they did have some random parts for my car. They don’t just sell Honda parts. 🤣
@@r2d2cold9 Nope. Went there for a very fun month long vacation. Just happened to stop by Spoon because my friend has a Honda that he is crazy about, and has always wanted to go look at parts in Spoon in person. All they had for my car was a Rigid Collar Kit for the front and back subframe.
Simply Lovely mate👌
Very nice work 🙏🏻
This is amazing. I❤ Hondas so much😭
A piece of Art, that what it is. And the carbon fiber layering opens some new possibilities. Can't wait the final product.
ahhh the gran turismo music is suuuuch a classy touch. feels like im watching hot version XD
BBL, Type One, and Spoon could literally build a Civic that can go into orbit. The engineering that they have put into this is astounding.
thats not a car, thats a piece of art
Incredible and impeccable craftsmanship
Love the eg hatch ❤️
The exhaust manifold is a piece of art.
Some really nice ideas on this car.
coming back to this again, i miss the old jdm masters
Very nice work
finally in depth of this
A mis 50 años me he comprado un eg5 vti, que no venderé jamás. Me parece la línea más bonita que hay. Y el bloque motor es una obra de arte con su doble árbol. Es un motor de bike para coches. Su sonido es adicto.
Man thats a great idea on the carbon vacuum forming to car. Way cool. I might even give it a go for the floor if i get a hatch. Awesome!
JDM Masters. Always informative. High Quality Content. Enjoyed this one and I'm nowhere near a Honda fan.
The 'Singer' Civic pulled from my dreams, amazing work by BBL!
that weld job on the headers brought tears to my eyes
Background music is on point. 💜
Now this is quality content
God that exhaust is a work of art
1:57 - 2:15: The spark plug wires go from being the Spoon Sports version to the OEM ones.
Fun fact: The Spoon spark plug wires were tested to actually _lose_ power compared to the Honda OEM ones.
that exhaust is absolutely stunning, but does it negatively affect intake air temps with it being right next to the airbox and intake at all.? i see that there is some bits of heat shielding, but I'm still curious about it.
Nice work and some Idea's I can play with on this side of the Pond! OORAH
beautiful welding on those headers
Here in Ireland 🇮🇪 Our Rally b16a and b16b and the b16a with b16b crank engines fully built would put out more power than that b18 . We get 230‐250 crank hp depending how you tune it 230hp has more area under the curve and more torque 👌 I'd love to get my hands on a jtcc engine 💙💚💙💚
And the b18c would put out way more power than the b16 if it was fully built too. Lol
My fully built and boosted 42psi b20z4 will spank you haha. 1100hp at 1500 lbs curb weight. 6 speed LSD with stage 5 clutch and lightened flywheel and short shifter linkage
I am genuinely speechless.
This is so cool. I owned a 92 prelude in 2000-2001 but sold it, wish I kept it.
Man i own an EG4 with a B-Series in it, full EG6 specs, man each time e see this car i get in love with it...
Insane weld work
Amazing machine 👍🏻
YES MORE CIVIC CONTENT
This is so good....
Legends never die👏🏼🙏🏻
Nice to see a naturally aspirated Civic like this
I deleted my Instagram because fuck social media but Capt Bradford is a really wise man, extremely knowledgeable and just a cool guy all around. Cheers brother. I remember you asking me about the idea for a channel years ago and you followed through. I love your content brother.
that exhaust is cool
From a Japanese high performance exhaust manufacturer speciely on motorbikes yoshimura
Captain Bradford, can you make special episode reviewing that JTCC Mooncraft Mugen Honda Accord CD6? Is the car still exist? Thanks.
Wao beautiful car great job 👏
Do you have any links to the JTCC and Civic footage that you used? I would really like to watch some complete races.
3:22
That car when completed is probably going to be worth $200,000.
6:40
Feedback
Dang there's a lot of commercials in this video.
6:41
😍I love all the cars.
Owner should take it to car max and see what they would give🤣
Amazing Civic!! I would love to know are we going to see RE Amemiya for example on this channel? I just love rotaries. By the way i used to rock this livery in the first Gran Turismo 11:19
Ah the jaccs super tykyu n1eg6 civic sir 2
I subscribed in the first 10 seconds
What a Legend😎
More of this!
Cannot wait to see your guys review on the Toyota GR86 and other tuning companies of the same car.
Saw the original video a while back with the build progress. This is awesome! From the carbon fibre strut towers and floor to the Exhaust mani this thing is fire 🔥
I started "Vehicle Wraps" in the 90s. I'm very interested in this "vacuum forming" carbon-fiber
"vacuum forming" carbon fiber is a real thing and is how most pieces you see are made.
It looks a lot like the JTCC car you have pictured at 16:01 used a reverse flow the engine to allow the use of ITBs and a well tuned carbon fiber induction chamber to produce more power. As mentioned this allows mounting of the engine lower in the chassis.
Yes. That is right. There are almost no photos left even within Japanese media that seems to exist ( perhaps I just haven’t found it yet) or the original 1994 JTCC side flow exhaust. The screenshot of the engine you mentioned is a later version reverse head. Even any shot of the engine of a JTCC EG9 is really hard to come by.
@@visionenippon-captbradford9344 It looks like standard touring car stuff. Somebody read the rules and found that it wasn't illegal to re-mount the engine lower. Using the free space in front of the engine for the larger carbon air box may have been a secondary benefit. Or maybe the induction change was the goal with the lower engine mounting a secondary benefit. Top level touring cars really only look like production cars. Get up close and you'll find everything has been re-engineered for going fast. If the budget is large enough and the rules don't disallow it, the engineers will do it.
Ford's BTCC Mondeo V6 had the engine leaned way over to get it low and rearward for similar reasons as Honda did on the flow reverse or side exhaust routing. The BTCC Mondeo raced with a 60 degree V6 but one head pointed up while the other forwards. Exactly nothing like a production car of the same body shell.
@@LZ6U no he talk about the reverse head h22 in the picture show for a couple of second the head is litteraly flipped 180° so the intake face the front of the car and the exhaust face the firewall
don't remember why they did this but it some freaking great engineering
I hope this civic lands in Gran Turismo 😁
Hope so including kazunori yamauchi opera performance Honda S2000 with rare mugen parts etc and yasukichi yamamoto San gather drider n1 super tykyu ek9 race car
1:00 Hold on! This is the Honda Car Dealer BGM from Gran Turismo NTSC/J 😍😍😍
I need these videos in full 4k glory
engineering masterpiece.
I’m curious about the IAT with the air box and manifold set up that way. Beautiful work regardless.
I own a 1992 si eg hatch Canadian model and a it has a sir whole B16 swap from Japan so I know that this civic is going to be a monster lol 💯👍👍👍
Nice ,How do you lower the engine diy style.
Actually planning to build p10 primera sportdeck to the finest level, but it seem imbossible to find 4wd drivetrain that was pretty rare.
