I was looking at getting a Honda Civic Type R as my first reasonably fast car, and a car that I intend to keep long term and have a tinker with. This video has sealed the deal for me, I need one! Should be able to get the car next year then start saving for this turbo conversion. Sounds amazing!

[@jrdenton90]

Wish I had the money to do this to my fn2

[@terrystahlnecker4157]

I love the gauge setup!!!

[@jamesbagguley868]

Whoa! That is just savage! I am going to see these guys soon for a routine service, they are going to have a look into the possibilities of boosting my EV1, Woo Hoo!

[@matty5472]

That smile at the end says it all!!

[@chairmitch]

pure class! I wish I had the money 2 do this 2 my fn2. tdi u guys r the best bar none!

[@ricoshaylr]

This car is epic it made me get an FN2 which is better all round than the EP3 which I owned years ago

[@Ev_Chad]

Great vid n u guys vids show much love u guys have for the Honda world. Keep it up.

[@muhammadsyazwan1846]

I'm from malaysia..I always watch the video from chanel nie .... and all the best videos are dying !!! ... i am your fan

[@cmal90]

The smile on the guys face at the end

[@SliKdaASS]

every time when I read TDi I think its a golf diesel engine >.>

[@supersimon44]

How many people slagging off the FN2 without driving one?? Mostly everyone who seems to have a problem with them. Just bought mine Saturday and I already think it wipes the floor with the mk2 focus ST I had. Much better drive, much better comfort, and it’s a k20 engine. Too many people whine about the rear suspension. It ent that bad. Too many Chinese whispers. Love my FN2!! Wouldn’t change it for the world unless u offered me a brand new 2018 model 👍

[@vforvendetta4538]

Simon_Hawkes1991 sweet u made a great choice there ride on !!! my bro got an fn2 and top gear was wrong about the car it's awesome sounds mean and handles great plus dash is so sci fi to I'm gonna buy one in future too

[@supersimon44]

v for vendetta totally agree mate, the top gear review kind of put me off and made me think twice about the EP3 but I couldn’t justify paying the same money for an older car without most of the upgrades the FN2 had to offer. The dash is one of my favourite things about the car. The sound of the Vtec rocks! Personally I think it sounds so much nicer than most cars out there with just its stock exhaust

[@lister817]

Simon_Hawkes1991 i went from a 4.2 v8 s4 to a fn2 and don't look back its a top car for the money

[@Cerberuselite]

You get this with any car tho dude, i want to go to an FN2 after my Z4, you'll find most people slagging cars off online either don't drive or are trying to justify their own purchases. If you're *genuinly* happy with your car, why spend time slagging off its competition?

[@MilesNJRacing]

To be fair, I’ve driven eg, ek (which I own), ep3, and fn2, and it does handle the worst I’ll be brutally honest. The best handling is between eg and ek. The engine is obviously good, but put that in an older chassis and it’s game over really

[@ep3vtec91]

Dyno runs are done in 4th gear, that car sounds SWEEEEEEEEET!!!

[@Frankmysteriojr]

Im at POD this sunday - lets GO

[@ReelMotion]

Glad you like it Hagan, sik car man!

[@Gavlar450f]

Cheers mark its an amazing colour i think i might go for this paint instead of champ white :-)

[@sawheating]

Nice set up there mark. Better performance with that turbo than the charger

[@markhagan6560]

Well i got to say dave you done an awesome job on the video :) & got to say a big thanks to tdi my car is an animal :D

[@liamnjess]

A turbo has most of it's power up top, so could be bouncing off the limiter due to wheel spin, vtec is lowered to around 3.5k and is smoothed out so no real kick just allows full cam profile lower down, boost by gear is the key, so low boost in lower gears as it isn't really needed down there and gradually raise it through the gears, this is mainly what is used with fwd motors running bid power/torque.

[@markhagan6560]

Cheers buddy all thanks to the hard work of the tdi boys :) & my bank balance :)

[@mickohyeah8093]

Sweet. I have a turbo RSX-S myself with Greddy kit getting about 26-whp n about 6.5psion the stock engine

[@EricCheung]

Great video guys!

[@kylem1018]

i was looking at one fully mode like that one 10000 31000 miels on it i loveed it

[@CTRSam]

My rotrex supersport kit is making 340whp but I'm split whether to go forged and c38 or replace it all for a turbo kit. Need to get on the blower to tdi to talk numbers. Really impressive stuff

[@deziboy870]

Spot on Mark :-)

[@deziboy870]

That makes me smile too :@)

[@markhagan6560]

@ctrsam i was in the same situation ! Running 370hp & was booked in to get forged& as soon as i had a ride out in tims car that was it !! Rotrex off turbo on & it is a totally different animal :) lime i said earlier it hits 340@ 5500 revs & keeps the power & keeps climbing to limiter which is set at 8500 !!

[@kamileekmajewski37]

i have honda civik 92 r. good ! 160 km /h

[@LancelotMooreYorke]

We need these in canada!!

[@smigzygtr]

Looking good pal :)

[@snakeeyesjdm9416]

Rotrex ❤

[@BigGeeMan]

Good vid

[@iwanttobeamole]

Hondas love the limiter. They love it like ice cream

[@markhagan6560]

Cheers john :) people don't understand till they get in her ! & believe me the passengers need a new set of pants after a little ride in this beast ;) but all comments welcome & I will try answer best i can :)

[@markhagan6560]

It was meant to be like that for the video !! & I have no problem putting the power down at all :)

[@markhagan6560]

Dezis is pushing more !! He has forged engine !! But i will be there next year when mines done :)

[@ReelMotion]

I think we are going to have to round up the TDi monsters for a meet @ pod after hibernation

[@deziboy870]

No lag.

[@neg0t]

A sweet build :) I´m running a N/A k20a2 with 235 hp on engine, around 210 on wheels. Did you use stock internals?

[@dmusovic9892]

Did the car have any suspension upgrades to cater for the extra power? How is it as a daily drive?

[@chopchopy4006]

haha big smile on the owners face ;)

[@markhagan6560]

That's what boost bye gear is for & traction control :) & it eats 4wheel drive cars for fun !!!

[@markhagan6560]

Rotrex made peak power at 8600 !! This makes 340 @ 5500 & keeps going up till 8500 revs& eats the rotrex for dinner !! Thats why i changed to turbo !! Peak numbers mean nothing !! This turbo has over 100 bhp more than the rotrex @ 5500 revs !! Rotrex @ 5500 revs 230 turbo @ 5500 revs 340 you do the math ;) turbo wins hands down !!

[@KillerOrca258]

I've been in a supecharged civic type r and that felt really smooth i.e. like a normal civic type r but faster and with more guts, I've seen videos and been in turbo'd civics, and they all seem to go spastic once they get above 5,500. I understand that it's mostly because of the V-TEC kicking in, but I don't like to hear my engine bashing itself against the limiter, and who wants to drive the CTR below 5,500?

[@cjellwood]

whats the best way to speed up a diesel i-CDTI? Turbo upgrade or just remap the ECU? I already have the chip upgrade

[@TFdragracing]

K20 ? Amazing car! Congratulations

[@lukethekanefan]

K20Z4 in the euro spec civic type r fn2

[@akdaus]

lukethekanefan still it's k series though, and it's awesome!

[@MrRoden93]

3:40 what a scream

[@bhpmad9355]

Do I need any modification to fit the gauges to the centre console???

[@markhagan6560]

It was for the video that is all i do not bounce my car of the limiter !! I don't have too :)

[@markhagan6560]

Hahaha thanks timmy boy :)

[@vcpppcg]

Where can I find those muguen bits?? Front quarter panels?!! Steering wheel badge?!

[@Supercharger86]

I guess the revlimiter works.

[@markhagan6560]

Mrkeffo they are prosport gauges :-)

[@brockneal3170]

fuck i want this

[@Gavlar450f]

Hi Mark what colour is your fn2 it doesn't look like Night hawk black cheers m8

[@camdixon4870]

That's my uncle Mark wtf hahaha

[@KillerOrca258]

I'm saving up for my Civic Type R FN2, once I get my full license I'm thinking about charging it via Rotrex, I want more power down low so should I get the supercharger or a low pressure turbo?

[@deziboy870]

Loving this rustbucket. Haters beware :)

[@HerbsmanRevs]

TTS C38 Shaft Drive Kit ;)

[@Speedyw00t]

whos is pushing out more power urs or dezi's?

[@markhagan6560]

Dyno run in 3rd ! Ill like to see a car hit nearly 140 mph in 3rd on the dyno !! Of course its in 5th ;)

[@KillerOrca258]

I like the look of this low-pressure turbo kit, everything except the exhaust. Sounds too metallic for my taste, I would prefer a deep, burbling roar to my exhausts.

[@k1m0rec]

MISS ALL THE GEARS!

[@Edd20022]

What's the 0-60 on this beast?

[@bhpmad9355]

why is the video not available

[@TaLoCc]

Good point in was he was looking for. Alot of midrange power to top end. but the rotrex should have made equal or even more..Does anybody know what Company rotrex superchager was he using?

[@JOHNgGOESPLACES]

i have to get one of theses kits how much does it cost im thinking of spending 3gs on mine in a couple of months and i know these cars are capable of 400 bhp i have a ep3 type r

[@Speedyw00t]

Shouldnt a dyno run be done in 5th not 3rd?

[@markhagan6560]

You would have to speak to tdi north i can't speak for them sorry but all you need is a exhaust & flash pro !! But if you haven't got them bbk clutch & diff is advisable unless you have big balls & also like changing clutches quick !!!

[@armenomania]

watch the video and you will understand

[@alomechanthasinh4079]

I want that steering wheel

[@SinOne390]

I think he means its better fuel economy in comparison to the Rotrex Supercharger. i.e Low Compression TDI Turbo -> Rotrex Supercharger

[@blademanx]

4 grand for parts and labour?

[@KillerOrca258]

I'm asking for advice, thanks in advance.

[@kylem1018]

thats minted

[@R0B1900]

how much would a set up like that cost, all in?

[@sabz_bhp]

How much for this setup on a ep3

[@markhagan6560]

It's deep bronze pearl gavlar450f :) dezi at least it has paint & not primer :p

[@Purpl3smurfable]

i would go turbo if you ever want more out of you car you would just need to enhance the turbo. there are more choices in turbos than superchargers when it comes to power

[@peixinhu17]

name of song in the begining?

[@deziboy870]

Anytime bagrid

[@zsakosbimbo4383]

how much is it ??

[@peixinhu17]

name of song?

[@benlee2765]

Can standard pistons handle super/turbo charging?

[@PT82]

Ben Lee Yes, good for about 450bhp at the flywheel if well mapped.

[@galov3314]

hola una pregunta que sistema de escape es el que tiene puesto ¿?

[@alen1561]

Can someone please tell me where i can find these type Rs?

[@deziboy870]

The cars rev limiter has and is set correctly for this setup. It's not need to rev to 9500rpm unlike some bellend tuners do. :-O

[@TaLoCc]

rotrex ftw! I don't why he changed to turbo?

[@deziboy870]

It's called Night hawk rust

[@KillerOrca258]

Turbo'd civics seem very spasmodic in their power delivery once they get to 5,500 rpm they zoom up and bang against the limiter really hard. Why doesn't someone design a turbo that doesn't do that?

[@monkeylechuck7192]

All that power going through the front wheels??? It will be a pig in the wet. Also the money spent on the car you could argue that its just cheaper to buy a car with that power in the first place. Though saying that I would imagine if you could stop the front wheels bouncing for grip, a few people would get shocked at the lights :-)

[@markhagan6560]

Vgs44 you ain't got a clue have you !! You want to come have a play !!

[@playingfor4]

I just feel sorry for the engine to hit it to the rev limiter alsmot every time :/ Not something i would do to my car - i am not the expert but just saying ;) Probably lower boost will make it easier to keep it from the rew limiter :)

[@mrsausauge]

It may just be the video but it seems to just wheelspin in every gear. No point in having a load of power if you cant put it down

[@Godog10061]

Que carrucho

[@haihan1491]

type r is famous for its NA engine, why put a turbo on it? though i like the FN2 style instead the more powerful wrx

[@wutangpaul]

Why put a turbo on it? Extra 180 bhp.

[@discopimp]

Because a k20 engine with boost is unbelievable thats why

[@alexstab3244]

how its cost all this

[@chameleonitservices1370]

alex stab they never seem to ever mention costs involved???

[@markhagan6560]

Haha you always get a dislike on an epic build !! I bet its an ep3 owner or tdi hater hahaha !! Haters going to hate :-D

[@markhagan6560]

Tts shaft drive no no no I've had the supercharger no no no is all I say

[@blademanx]

ahhh shame its all on the front wheel, now if that was all wheel drive then we'll be laughing
