900HP AWD Civic "The Perfect EG Coupe" 40PSI Ride-along! (K-swapped in 2004 - BEFORE it was Cool)

On this episode we feature one of the cleanest and meanest Honda Civic EG Coupe street cars we've had the pleasure of filming! Rob Courtney bought this car 20 years ago as a roller and has been restoring it ever since. It's running a built K-series engine(Manley Performance Rods) and Precision 6466 turbo on 40+PSI. He originally built the car FWD but with major traction issues he converted it to AWD using mostly factory Honda parts and never looked back. The car is an absolute beast on the street and the strip, blasting down the 1/4 mile almost knocking on the door to 8's!

[@iTzDaNiiLo]

K Swapped since 2004. That's a real OG right there

[@Gwakkii]

also kept his interior intact

[@nonyadamnbusiness2301]

Yes sir and back when that was like 15k or 20k for that set up lol

[@dc2k206]

It was finally k swapped in 2012-13. He started collecting parts in 04.

was thinking the exact same thing. dude be banging them gears

Take as many moments as your need, you have my permission.

[@brockallentaylor]

This is my kind of jam. The upper limit of what you can do in a street civic setup without crazy expensive custom parts. Fantastic!

[@GunSnob]

This would be crazy expensive for most unfortunately. I'm in the middle of doing an all motor k20/24 frank EG hatch and I'm in it almost 15k atm and the car is still at paint and the engine is still at the machine shop 🥲

[@GunSnob]

And mine isn't boosted or AWD. Granted I could make a lot more HP for the money with a snail on it, but wanted to max the FWD all motor set up first.

[@brockallentaylor]

I'm taking about billet block, custom manifold, p and p head, high end engine management etc. People put 40+k into these projects just under the hood. I like the basic(ish) garage type builds. It will take some cash and some time but its attainable if you hang in there.

[@GunSnob]

Ahh gotcha. I shoulda just went boost but I've had nothing but boosted projects in the past and wanted a change, but we all know you can't stay away from boost once the bug bites you 😂

[@CodeineAbdulJabbar]

I like that he's not bouncing off the limiter in every gear ⚙️

[@thatbluefa5913]

Well no shit its AWD no real loss of traction.

[@ImAman555]

I feel alot of you dont know why people with fwd bang off the limiter...\

[@thatbluefa5913]

@@ImAman555 Yeah people just don't know how cars work.

[@stevenarvizu6273]

Randy Ledford reason you see a lot of fwd civic bouncing off limiter is because the wheels are spinning faster (no traction) than what the car is actually moving.so if they didn’t bounce off limiter the rpm will drop drastically when shifting into a taller gear. For most boosted civics would probably fall out of boost if it was not bouncing off limiter..just a FYI so you won’t get flamed by Honda og’s 🙌🏻

[@kensmechanicalaffair]

@@ImAman555 They do that because fwd is gay, so the tires slip excessively and with a 4cylinder its hard to keep a single big turbo in boost without revving the piss out of it.

[@AngryOlive_]

TRC with the Honda hits !

[@hondaresource]

speaking from experience with my 870hp AWD eg, it's A LOT of fun!

[@LatinoAD]

[@loganumstot]

I had a 92 hatch with a full H22a swap IDENTICAL to this car , same wheels , same exact paint code , went to a meet in lavale Maryland after a local car meet and met boob about 10-12 years ago and he is a kick ass dude. The few and far between quirks my car had he helped me solve all of them effortlessly. A real OG in the Honda game , this car is stupid fast on the street too. Had the luxury of a ride one time.

[@stinky15552]
