90s TURBO VS NA CHALLENGE

[@c0c0asauce]

I know the Justy is rusty but there is something refreshing about a quirky car that has never been loved in a shop full of high dollar collector cars.

[@camerongrady580]

Hey guys! I am the manufacturer of that shift linkage modification you have on the EF. I just wanted you guys to have a resource for it if you have any questions about it. That part will fit MANY other Honda transmissions with the correct bushings which I also offer. I'd love to support this build, so reach out if I can help! Long time lover of your content. Can't wait to watch this series!

[@pdbnc]

...kinda wanted to see an absurd engine swap into the Justy.

[@tompettersson3814]

me too.

[@TassieLorenzo]

All those sad Subaru fans after getting their hopes up. 😢

[@Yamimoto21]

Imagine them spending boku bucks on a gr Corolla to take the engine out for a $300 bucket? 😂 shit would break the internet

[@Darren_Martin]

@@TassieLorenzo I'm that person. Sad Subie fan is me 😞😞

[@bgee461]

I want to see that car fixed. I don't even care what it takes.

[@oregonfelder1]

USDM had the door mount belts 90-91. 88-89 had B pillar mounted belts. So glad to finally see an EF on the channel. As the owner of two EFs, I will definitely be following this build series!

[@DieterRasmussen]

I’m in Calgary Alberta, I bought an 89 civic DX hatch brand new back then. I’ve had about 15 of them, including still own a 1989 crx Si. They definitely were available as an option with air conditioning. I still have all the the original brochures for all years and models

[@richardfarmer6570]

"Gentlemen Low" love that term. That is how I would describe myself, I do like lowered cars but not sitting on the ground.

[@jngtruong]

Oh man, I can’t wait to see the upcoming episodes. My first car in high school was a 89 SI and about 10yrs later i got into a 95 SI. Kudos to Speed Academy.

[@JFP1984]

The EF is a total gokart. Had a 91 in red with a b16a. Not super fast but handled great and made all the right noises.

[@jeremyames2689]

Still regret selling my '90 Rio Red Si

[@_Erogaki]

I also had an EF but with a D16. Thing was a menace in AutoX.

[@phantasy2075]

friend is getting a red ef with a d15, any recommendations when swapping a b series in or should be pretty simple

[@JFP1984]

I used hasport motor mounts and shift linkage. Went with b16a and Y1 trans for lsd.

[@JFP1984]

There is a treasure trove of info out there on B swaps from multiple Honda forums. Any idea your friend may come up with some one has prob done it. Lots of guys will post threads detailing their builds.

[@BigAl22]

Brooo I'm so sad the Justy turbo build isn't happening. You should do it just for fun, doesn't need to be a track weapon!

[@robertdeleofitness7197]

As a Porsche guy who’s 6’5 and daily drives a 911 I’m loving the civic content. Really wish it was this easy for me to check compression on my engine. I’m a huge fan of the turbo builds and of course I prefer N.A. power when it’s available but I’d love to replicate a civic build and then fully race it on a track. You guys make great content and have built 2 distinguished personalities that are always entertaining to watch. It’s honestly better than a lot of my local US KZbinrs content.

[@janissaryone1906]

Wow, I can't believe I actually owned all 3 of the cars you guys showed in this episode (down to same colors). I had the Justy and it was a great winter car while I had the EH Civic as my summer car. It would have been very interesting to see if you could create a turbo Justy. Too bad. Can't wait to see the build of this series.

[@giff74]

That ef is in amazing condition, it must have had a respray at some point. I've been looking for a clean, unmolested ek for a long time and they are so hard to find anymore. Keep up the good stuff guys!

[@CrossWindsPat]

Its crazy man... In high school I was tripping over EG's and EK's and now they are somehow RARE?!?!?

[@Richie_RHD]

@@CrossWindsPat they all got stolen or chopped up for body kits then scrapped.

[@kc550]

I had a black 00' Si coupe with zero rust. Rear quarters were mint. I had picked it up early into the pandemic for $1,800 and regrettably sold it a year later for $2,250. Ended up buying a 97' M3, so I don't dwell on the lost potential profit too much anymore 🥲

[@TassieLorenzo]

@@CrossWindsPat It's because -- for whatever reason -- Honda fans are still hung up on the EF, EG and EK (and sedan/coupe equivalents) while the ES, EM & EU (seventh-gen) are *really* unloved. In the EP3 & DC5 people are willing to put up with the suspension design that is not great, but the ordinary 7th-gens seem very unpopular. So there is a lot of demand for the classic double wishbone EF, EGs and EKs and given their age they are rare (and more and more get scrapped, every car in the junkyard means one more out of circulation). The natural progression in terms of the age of the cars would be for Honda fans to move onto the 7th-gens, but 7th-gens are desperately unpopular for the most part. I have to say from first hand experience, I think the suspension geometry in the DC5 is awful. An EG handles so much better, while an 8th-gen (while heavier) is also much more predictable and confidence-inspiring than a 7th-gen IMO. **awaits angry 7th-gen enthusiasts who love the 7th-gen cars**

[@CrossWindsPat]

@@TassieLorenzo "for whatever reason" can you not understand why a car that can easily weigh less than 2000lbs with double wishbone and EZ mode K swap is appealing?

[@erock155]

Fellas there are so many more layers to the rust nightmare that is 90s Honda. The fender rubbers are the east of your concerns. As someone who’s done inner and outer quarters on my DC2 Integra, they rust from the inside out. They rust under the factory undercoating. Like a dissolving car. And this is on a Calgary car with 215,000 Km. Love this series can’t wait to see what you guys do with these.

[@kevinc31]

Looking forward to this build series. Love these era cars. Thanks guys and I am rooting for the N/A build😊

[@Shododaan]

I'm really psyched about this because you are both starting with the same caliber of car. Looking forward to the builds progression! My engine guess? K Series.

[@sraitup100]

I have the matching passenger prelude seat in Clarington, Ontario! Free if you can come pick it up

[@snoofayy6150]

DAVE AND PT, REACH OUT TO THIS FAN AND SWAG HIM OUT WITH SPEED ACADEMY MERCH IN EXCHANGE FOR HIS PRELUDE SEAT IMMEDIATELY!!!

[@speedacademy]

Amazing! Hit me up! [e-mail]

[@BRICKHOUSESPL]

Oh man, giving us the goods! Going to be a great series seeing these two come together. I'm actually more excited that it's Honda vs Honda...and I'm sure the other Honda fans are too!

[@TheGarnetNugget]

Holy crap finally some recognition for the Justy! What a way to start 2024 ❤❤❤ Please do something with it! They're such fun cars and deserve some love!

[@Darren_Martin]

Nice! Looking forward to these builds. K24 for the EF, no doubt!

[@CrossWindsPat]

K all day!!! I could see them doing a 20 with a 10k redline though.

[@andrewhayes8451]

I think they are building a b series motor for it! The old mates at headgames have been porting a head for them.

[@JFP1984]

B16B

[@Kr8zyVids]

Keep up the great content guys!! Most people who comment about Honda content haven’t driven them to experience how they can do anything with simple mods. The Justy just needs some SA love and it will be amazing!

[@brokensmilephoto]

been waiting to see what was up with that EF! Looked so clean in the background to not use for something. Nothing is easier to work on than a rust free Honda. And it can be a rather enjoyable experience too!

[@1stGenCRXs]

This is going to be a great series! Our cars out here in the southwest do fair well. Plastic and rubber parts just get wrecked!

[@mickl8212]

Those Type R rear LCAs are on upside-down

[@GleepGlop2]

Pulling off the fenderwell trim takes paint with it so you need to sand and repaint that area or it will start rusting like crazy. My 90's Honda had some fender rust, I pulled off the trim and did my best but the rust got 10 times worse after pulling off the trim.

[@hondamanvtec2894]

That trim made all hondas rust like fakk 😂😂😂

[@konadelux]

My first car was a 91 EF SI… I have huge sentimental attachment to the EF and I’ve been idly considering picking one up but they’re almost impossible to find in any kind of reasonable condition. I’m so jealous and excited for this build!

[@JTheMoneyable]

So jealous of the EF. Enjoy that build! Have another great reason to tune in every Saturday. Loving the Honda content.

[@sirrevalot2543]

Awesome, another great series of videos and a battle of two good cars! Looking forward to this.

[@Shhteeve15]

Can't wait to see this series unfold. NA FTW!

[@NoNoRc]

One of my favorite Honda valve covers. Very old school and mechanical looking. Love seeing Hondas on this channel, always my favorite. Cheers from Cali 🍻

[@chaselord3986]

absolutely freaking love the golden era honda content, keep it up guys!

[@markmartin7384]

Looks like you guys really lucked out with 2 solid cars!!!! You totally had me at first on the Justy

[@1979ikimus]

I love the EF! Brings me back to my teens. Excited for this build!

[@ConiferConnoisseur]

So excited for this series!

[@MrDcheang]

speed academy! the gift that keeps on giving! thank you!!

[@ChavaYang]

Im excited excited to see these cars on the track

[@ricepony33]

Beautiful exhaust work!

[@mrmackee123]

The chemistry between these two 🔥

[@MyGoToUserName]

For NA build K makes the most sense if you want any hope of being in the same realm of power as a boosted B. B18C1 out of a GSR would be attainable but making power with them NA is hard.

[@16vPete]

Y'all never cease to impress with these build series, so stoked!

[@Busydadgarage717]

I am so excited! B20V here we come!

[@afroman5531]

I love my Hondas, watching this from my 97 accord on my lunch rn but you really got my hopes up. I have a buddy with a 94 justy and it is so hard to find builds on them. I would be stoked seeing that justy get some love ❤️

[@leviorourke7498]

My first Honda was a dx ef9 hatchback. I got the Si motor, then sir motor seemed the same, as a kid I thought I’d just step it up, as I snagged a B18c1 and B16 heads, she revved so high and ran so hard. I can’t wait to see this build

[@migsmigs87]

Love the EF. Since you're competing with a B series turbo, maybe a K series would suit it best. Plus if you decide to sell it, I would likely be interested lol. I used an EF as a winter beater during my college years and loved it.

[@young_humble2939]

Owning a EF it’s only right to root for your fellow patrons 🎉. Im guessing a b20v is going in there!!

[@CrossWindsPat]

I love you channel guys! Keep on keeping on!

[@BryceRehder]

So pumped for this build off! Brian at Hasport is the man! Lets go! @vibrantperformance crushed it on that exhaust. Good call, as a 20 year crx owner, EF’s have very few good options.

[@coreydevins4948]

I used to have a DA integra with the same engine and exhaust, car sounded amazing. Should be a stellar series

[@Jarot]

THIS SERIES IS GOING TO BE GREAT

[@mm8436]

Young Static would be proud. He probably has everything you need

[@Edony8]

Honda content all day every day!!!! Keep it up guys.

[@jamest5149]

The headlamps have euro E markings in the circle on the glass towards the center of the car… so yes euro spec 👍 The number next the E references the country approval.

[@GigaCivic]

OMG YEEEEEEEES! EFs are so under rated! not enough representation on EFs i loooove it!!!!!

[@JD-rq7il]

This is going to be great! I love Vibrant components! My turbo D16 Honda insight, and my 22 Maverick have home built 3" Vibrant exhausts!

[@TheALBee83]

The background music when the JUSTY dropped LOL

[@BrandonK80]

My second car was a mint, black 89 si. Freaking loved that car. Also had a red 91 si with a ZC swap. Loved those cars!

[@HONZO_83]

I'm building a turbo EF hatch, and love the content

[@princesssolace4337]

92' Daihatsu Charade GTti is a 3 cylinder turbo intercooler, 993cc@100hp along with 92' Suzuki Swift GTi, 1300cc@100hp is a V-tec hunter/killer againts the EF/EG with b16 back in the day.

[@spencersgarage]

Yes!! Love that y’all are using an EF!

[@Dibbs10101]

Seeing the Justy gave me a good laugh. Now wondering why it's sitting around. Future series? Also wondering if the G30 is a bit large for a B18b. Would you be better off with a G25? Guess for EF engine is B18c to keep it classic.

[@TassieLorenzo]

Won't the B18C have no hope against the EG, if the EG is turbo B18 with 250whp? It kind of has to be a K24 to have a chance. I love Honda and it's nice to see essentially the same car against itself, but it would have been fun for the second car to be something else -- be it a Subaru, Daihatsu, Suzuki, or even Dodge Omni or Mk2 or Mk3 VW Golf. But I guess the principle of sticking to what you know applies.

[@sjhudon386]

250 wheel gonna have to be k24

[@KSwapTheWorld69]

Let's Freakin' Go Speed Academy!!! 💯💪🏽💯

[@Naki7g]

Very nice ideas and builds as per usual LOVE IT

[@bucket638]

BBBOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bring on the Justy!

[@mikester1472]

You have no idea how much excited I am for this series

[@BlueKhaos76]

AWESOME video! Honda's are IMMORTAL...SALUTE!

[@HowRU_Now]

Justy build, justy build, justy build! It's "Atlantic Canada Mint", definitely some sketch but 1000% doable. I'd love to watch the rust repair agony

[@mrivera3996]

Bold of you to think that we here, in Cali, are able to get away with cars that low. Lol You very quickly learn the numerous places you can no longer go, and become an expert at approaching driveways at an angle, and blocking traffic while traveling at 0.01 MPH to avoid massive scraping, or high centering.

[@brandon_buildsDIY]

I would love to see you guys do a B13 SE-R. SR20VE swap and bam you got another competitor. That what I would build for this challenge.

[@justini2351]

LOVE THE CONTENT, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK GUYS!

[@Ed_Garage]

The Rear lower control arms on the EG is on upside down. I dont know if they meant it that way. Btw since its upside down its also probably reversed. (Right side arms on left side of the car and so on). In order for them to fit the sway bar links

[@SilverScarletSpider]

20:50 all speed academy cars should have air conditioning. its part of the challenge :)

[@bnlucas4911]

Both so sick!

[@SilverScarletSpider]

please do a fluid film spray for both these cars!

[@VTECAcademy]

EF Madness!! Yes!

[@Nelson_89]

J 3.2 with P2R New Cylinder Heads with Ferrea Spring Package

[@bgee461]

Ok the justy fn blew me away!! I thought i was here for the honda content, but ... 😍

[@pepperfish_]

yeah these had holes in the floor as large as the gas tank by the mid 2000's in Canada. Arizona is a car museum holy crap. What i've done with b18's and d series with bad compresion is pour brake cleaner down the plug hole, then dump some fresh oil, rotate engine by hand, drain oil and refilll, then test compression again. often times it's just the oil rings being clogged from many years of running a clogged air filter and bad oil. Especially when number 1 is the best and number 4 is the worst. The oil pump is working fine, but there is sludge everywhere.

[@MyWolffy]

Rear sway bar setup is killer. Only hatch standard with it was the SI

[@redorange]

Manufacturers had to have passive restraint, i.e. airbags, auto seatbelt, etc., on cars. Honda elected to use the door mounted seatbelt which allows the belt to remain buckled when the door is opened and the occupant can still get in/out.

[@ef_baum5307]

Dammmmnnnn that EF is bananas clean! I loved the 'traditional' wheel arch trim removal, haha .. i'd never be able to leave those on there either

[@hankstar.1]

Haha I live in North Dakota and I feel yeah guys with the salt. At first sight of snow the cars are parked and the winter beater comes out.

[@nicholassmith7048]

Fun fact: in Northern Arizona, such as Flagstaff, they get snow and have skiing/snowboarding in the mountains there.

[@TSYT]

I’m excited to dive into these episodes. My first Honda, red 91 Civic Si, was the car to give me the Honda bug. ❤

[@darksidegarage910]

Amazing content as always. I disagree with the comments on the subi. We can see the views on your Celica and other non honda. DO WHAT WORKS FOR YOU GUYS. I love the ef. It is my second favorite honda chassis behind the 84-87 civic chasis. I really can't wait to see what you do with it. I know the kseries would be the best for all motor, and cost. Please try to keep it looking as oem as possible and dont ditch the ac. Go the extra mile and crimp some new ac hoses. It is a street car, after all. Im sure Canadians dont much care for ac, but in Florida, we start by making sure ac compressor fits before anything else.😂

[@glampie155]

I love the b swaps🥳

[@SilviaSean]

@ 00:26 I already knew that DP was going to be the winner of this track battle. Not because of power, weight, driver capability but considering PT's cars either never make it the track or can't finish a track day in one piece 😅. Examples include but are not limited to: bmw vs type r, evo vs sti, project grip s14 (version sr20).

[@stephans1245]

Subaru Justy, my first car! What I used to first learn how to work on cars. Would love to see a build on it.

[@spencersgarage]

Nice!! I daily drive my 1991 Civic 100 miles a day! Looks just like yours!

[@paulsinnett85]

Love this i just bought a super mint eg hatch I am super excited to see what you guya do

[@MJferguson]

Really excited to see what you guys are able to do with these two cars. Did you know the C5 and C6 Corvette come with double wishbone suspension from the factory?

[@venomking3602]

N/A is always going to be more fun

[@rampaulpaul8682]

these guys are tripping 😅😅

[@MrChaudhryy]

30:54 probably a built k series (k24)

[@mx01pdx]

Heck yeah! The EF is what's up! Turbo EG will prob win but my inside old man says to H.E. double hockey sticks with that😉. Most excited I've been about an S.A. build since Ms Celica😁

[@ChinitFxt]

I’m kinda jealous. The EF the EG the Justy 😮 my inner Honda subie boy is happy.

[@user-ro6wc6di4z]

Another exciting series to look forward to :)

[@ef7andapp170]

Seeing under the hood of the EF with that DPFI intake gave me flashbacks of my first CRX. Converted it from DPFI to MPFI with instructions from the "Hybrid Honda" web page. Ah... good old days.

[@kc550]

Kinda late to the party here, but a k swap would appropriate given the power goals that Pete's after. Period correct would be fun but parts are getting harder to find. Love the series and can't wait!

[@Mbrand721]

The Justy had me excited that Pete was finally picking a car that would take some work to be competitive unlike the BMW. I guess ANOTHER civic is ok

[@drifter2090]

Wow that EF looks amazing!

[@ZackNakazora1]

For a second as a usa jdm fan thought that subaru justy was a good Mazda 323 gtx.. Lol nice one Pete!
