Hey all, Looks like the encoding through KZbin has caused a couple glitches, we are working with YT to fix the issue. Sorry for inconvenience!

[@waltersmith3165]

still gonna watch. Gotta get those views up! Great episode guys!

[@Dibbs10101]

Uh-oh. Looks like YT did not like encoding on the upload. A few spots of paused/stuck video for 10 seconds at a time. Doesn't take away from this thing will be a little beast.

[@camaromike82]

Same issue on multiple devices.

[@Elmer_RedEagle]

Ive been noticing that on other videos alot lately. I think YT is just being buggy for alot of channels.

[@emilklotz6227]

Same

[@HooptyCrewRacing]

DUUUUUUUUDE!! I was like wtf is wrong with my internet! lol

[@lahmanpo9570]

😊😅😅😅😊😅😅😅

[@BrendanEvan]

260whp in 2100lbs is seriously quick. That’s like 309bhp per ton. For comparison the new 2024 Mustang Dark Horse has a power to weight ratio of 258 bhp per ton.

[@abhirajkanwar5436]

11:51 thought it was buffering, just the video being frozen, but great to see the civic making some jam!

[@therealboofighter]

Ok. So it’s not just me.

[@silverbulletS197]

​@@therealboofighter Same on my side, happened 3 different times but still a good vid to watch in the morning! 🤝

[@justfasial01]

lol I just restarted Chrome thinking it may be my browser

[@RealBearFace]

Civic goes so hard it fucks up the recording. Nice

[@dru106]

How many ppl here thought their internet cut out when the video paused? lol Epic build!!

[@ianm432]

260whp with good torque like that would feel amazing! The internet has ruined good cars by making sub 500hp and 1000hp lame. Especially in the turbo LS world where everyone thinks a mild build should be 700. Most people riding in a 550whp car would believe you it makes 1000 if you told them. Very few people have felt 1000hp and even fewer could tell the difference.

[@jeremyb4493]

Exactly.

[@markwalton8644]

For Street Driving, low Down torque is King. High Power at high RPM is for Drag Strips and showing off to your mates!

[@seran2316]

if you guys are looking ECT thru Link, i've noticed there honda calibration for ECT sensors read 10-12C higher. best way to compare is to let a known thermoswitch turn on the rad fan itself and check how much ECT it is. I have a spoon thermoswitch and it's rated to turn on at 80c, i see it trip on when Link reads at 92C.

[@tonyflorio3269]

Great looking car! Since when is 260 whp (maybe 290-ish crank) in a 2100 lb car anything less than impressive? It seems to handle the power well, looks great, sounds good. Add a bit more cooling capacity and you've got a fantastic fun car. There are a lot of car project YT channels, but what sets yours apart is your taste in cars. Maybe it's because I'm GenX, but each project has produced a really tasteful result.

[@-JDMCRX-]

I’m in the final stages of building a B16a budget turbo sleeper Del Sol and I’ve learned a lot from this build. With a healthy stock B16a on 7-10 psi it’s nice to know at 250-300whp it’s going to be a whole lot of fun. Big hp is nice, but on the street fast spool and drivability is where the fun is at - your Civic proves it.

[@hydrocarbon8272]

I've got a dinky d16 with forged bottom end and small turbos are where it's at for the street. Mine is just under 300whp but having instant boost makes it more fun than 500whp spinning in 4th. You're going to love it with the right turbo, just like these guys.

[@-JDMCRX-]

@@hydrocarbon8272cheers mate, mine is a Turbonetics T3/4E 5057 with a .63 rear housing so should be fun.

[@mariosnikolaou5212]

Liked the outside outro. The car looks mental. Clean, OEM look, nothing about the looks, it's all about driving. Greetings from Greece.

[@yungcesarpaterson6529]

Shouts out to nick. Always a pleasure working with him!

[@kyletice811]

The excitement from you guys is very tangible. Puts a big smile on my face hearing you guys giggle on every pull. That’s exactly the feeling we all have had and chase.

[@matthewmohri9990]

Such a cool little build. Congrats boys! 260whp in a car that light is more than enough and with low boost when you grid life it, it will be far more reliable. Seriously that thing looks like a ton of fun.

[@sergiopereira9546]

270 with short gearing makes the car really engaging and that is what matters . Mighty not be impressive on the dragstrip but on a b road it will certainly be a blast

[@TheBb6prelude]

Yeah,on a drag strip this will do low 12s on slicks easy

[@BjornFSE]

Video sticks for over 20+ seconds at a time for at least 3 different times.... you guys may wanna re-upload. great video. Interesting to see how both of you guys caught that childhood-like-giggles driving it

[@mrbookends]

The idea that you have to explain "underdelivering for the internet" is what's wrong with the internet. Awesome build.

[@veraktop8522]

Great job guys! What the viewers don't understand is that the car is built for a purpose. Track & not drag. No need for over kill vs the EF.

[@danielarias2212]

This is true to Honda roots. Plenty of fun and reliability. Don't let the internet boys say anything. I'd say most of your viewers are old heads anyway. I tune in to see you fulfill dreams on a budget that is accessible to me.

[@bigmanbuilds]

You guys DOUBLED the power output of that b18. That's awesome! That thing is definitely going to be a blast to drive

[@BulliKid]

Awesome build. Super clean!!! Simple and effective! nick is the man!! Thanks for sharing.

[@ryanmott9550]

Love seeing you get that giddy feeling, good work guys, thanks for another great Saturday morning coffee😀

[@markmartin7384]

Love the result, great work guys

[@silverbulletS197]

Good morning from the side of California! Love everything about this hatch, the head and tail lights and the current wing looks better than carbon fiber, not too much power but enough to enjoy driving daily. You guys did an awesome job on this one and takes me back to the '90s era! 🤝

[@suckviper4585]

PT getting converted to a Honda Boy right before our very eyes! The look on his face during the test drive can't be mistaken

[@easycheddy]

Think if they decide to put a vtec head in that thing he’s gonna be hooked but awesome build series

[@The_Redkween]

Smiling from ear to ear. 😅

[@easycheddy]

@@The_Redkween yeah so much joy for a street car feels so satisfying how a simple build can become so much fun

[@timm5970]

That dude has probably been into hondas longer then you lol

[@feelthatfeelthat]

Love this build. This is the best civic model and by far the most iconic. This is also the most excited I've seen you both in that drive video in quiet some time.

[@christophermartin4887]

I absolutely love it. Fantastic build you guys...you nailed it!

[@KAS470]

I’ve said this before but I’ll say it again. Y’all sure do make some very nice and tidy cars. This thing has come out really nice. I’ll always want another eg hatch. They’re such cool cars

[@A02POE]

Glad to see this thing come to life love seeing the progress on each build , you guys inspire me to build up my 95 eg coupe with a b16a one thing at a time 💪

[@esobeegarage]

As always you guys crushed this build! Love everything about it and the wheels really grew on me too! Nice work, fellas! I know it's not easy but you guys continue to put out amazing content!

[@Mr16bit]

As a former mx5 BP guy it always amazes me how efficient those Honda engines are. It would take a lot more boost to make that power and would be on the edge of no more rods. And this is a really low rent version of a low rent engine for Honda's. They really do make an efficient air pump

[@AZ-hf9ow]

It's always great to see Nick 😎🤙

[@bgee461]

Love how it turned out, well done

[@jrbuch]

Epic build guys. I like the OEM + look, plus the fact it's turbo. Nailed the build.

[@jacoblacroix9024]

Great job Peter car sounds good and strong can’t wait to see what it does on the track ! Keep up the great videos

[@1of437]

Awesome build. The driving experience looks so damn nice.

[@jordandemarchi1926]

LOVE the OEM+ build. My style exactly. Great job guys keep up the great content!

[@hawkman996]

Excited from your excitement but the dang video keeps freezing. Saturday morning frustration. Lol

[@renjamun]

I thought it was just me!

[@calebz5890]

Holy crap! So cool. I can't wait to see these two duke it out on the track!!

[@alanleclair1]

Great build! Great car. Your smiles are infectious! I want to drive that car!! 👏🎉

[@jeffreymoore4132]

260whp is PLENTY in the real world. Only on the internet where everyone daily drives 500+whp does 260whp sound "small". I have 520 whp on my sc'd s2k and it's to much. It's not usable at all-just gobs of wheel spin up top. And no, I'm not putting super sticky tires on cause I don't like the idea of breaking parts. So I'm going to a different, lower, more usable hp setup (PD blower from a centri blower).

[@spencersgarage]

Excellent job, love it!

[@chrisokeefe6280]

Loving this build guys! It may be your best Civic yet. Loved the street test, it’s beguiling watching DP’s smile grow as the boost comes in. With each pull the years just dropped off of both of you revealing your high school Honda fanboys!

[@mk4turbojetta]

Great series guys

[@Jseriesbryan]

I’ve been debating wether to build another integra or a eg hatch & after watching this series I can say a hatch is up next on the list. Keep up the fire content. You guys are one of my favorite KZbinrs out!

[@MachMotorsport]

Super cool build 🔥🙌🏼

[@ConiferConnoisseur]

Such an awesome build!

[@Peachan123]

It really doesn't take 1000 hp to bring a smile to your face. I have 210 ish in my Mini, and that car brings a smile every time I drive it. It's raw, and that's what is fun about it.

[@chancelavin2493]

The civic EG is such a classic now. they are getting rare to find clean and taken care of now.

[@Boostwerks]

The smile on the both of your faces is wonderful. The Honda guys can all relate to this feeling ❤

[@BrandonK80]

I love this build! That is all. Had an 89 and 91 Si and loved them.

[@johnny5549]

You guys are the best!

[@fewhavestrength]

great vid guys cheers

[@aaronkent76]

This car is amzing, love the vision for it. Can’t wait for track battle

[@MyBridgestone24]

After listening to the end of video credit music for some time now I finally realized what it reminds me of.. the music from the end of the Price is Right (the old one). Somehow fitting.

[@BlueG3.5]

I think I look forward to these videos as much as i look forward to anticipated movies and tv shows. Can't wait to see how these two stack up against each other. Maybe for the next build you guys can do a boosted vq of some kind, those guys have been making a lot of progress lately in terms of reliability and power, like into the 600-700 range on stock vq37 motors. Even the lowly vq35de has had its stock motor limit updated from 400whp to 500whp with supercharging and e85. I'm definitely biased but there seems to be a lot of interest and intrigue there but there isn't much high-quality, well organized, and well produced professional content like you guys produce covering those types of builds. It's mainly just finished builds going street or dyno pulls, long winded vlog style videos that are 3/4 about unrelated things, interior pov footage just driving and talking, etc. Nothing like the content you guys produce, really showcasing the build process and end result and performance outside of some pulls on the street. Maybe there are some good numbers view wise there since your production would immediately set you apart from the rest of the content around the topic.

[@kkkevv224]

loved this series

[@witchcraftauto]

A friend of mine up here in Ottawa built a car with just over 900hp and he said it's almost undriveable! I think you guys are on the right track with this build.

[@jp2246]

Great build!

[@MotoMedicine904]

Its always been a dream of mine to have an EG hatch like this. Hopefully once I retire form the military in 5 years I can have the time and the money to take on a project like this. Great work as always.

[@KINGVONFRM063]

I love you guys, much love from greece

[@coreygenno9951]

Wooo that’s awesome I kinda wanna swap a b18 into my ek now. Can’t wait for the track video

[@NotoriousZNT]

Amazing build

[@zmarko]

Weird, i didnt get a notification of this vid on Saturday. Checked your channel this morning and there was a video. Catching up now.

[@AnotherMotorist]

I just picked up a eg b16a2 not long ago but EF9 is where my heart is. Love both though

[@origamipostit]

Could we get more outside shots of the cars passing? I’d think it would really highlight the amount of time you put into these builds. Maybe a short roadtrip type of video with 2 competing builds to a cool stretch of road nearby. Loving the civic build! PS, I still think about the swapped 2JZ BMW😅

[@jp2246]

Road trip!

[@youtubiefun]

very wise choice on the wheels

[@luislozano1513]

This isn’t a Honda fanboi build… it’s a Honda enthusiast build. 👏🏼 this is the build I wanted to do when I had my B18B Integra sedan. Now I’m wondering if I should go look for another one and actually get it done lol.

[@lordraiden5398]

Had a 94' DX coupe back in the day. Neuspeed race springs, Tokico HD shocks, 16x7 6 spoke wheels, Neuspeed strut tower brace, K&N airfilter and a big ole Supra wang. Handled decent and was super slow but drove it like I stole it everyday. Couple of trips across the country. Did messenger duty for a couple years. A Ford van t-boned it. Dam thing still started and drove. None of the glass even broke. That little car was a beast. Miss it.

[@Brandon-C.]

Mine was a 95 CX hatch. GSR fat fives and a Canadian tire "head unit and 6.5" speaker" package. Those were the days 🤙

[@Sebbe40]

I’ve got an S13 with same power and weight ratio and it’s a blast. There are very few occasions I wish for more power. Balance to the people!

[@aroundomaha]

I love this build. It is a car I would be happy to autocross and flog! An inspired work.

[@jordanpanich]

Love it!

[@00dc2]

Love it. And tuning by nick, we are gagging for some Porsche swap kit updates....

[@00dc2]

Not obsessed with bragging rights/ numbers... How refreshing in this age. You guys are legit enthusiasts.

[@pinkstars2185]

So used to VTEC Dyno pulls, was waiting for it to kick in every pull that was made.

[@gabrielash9433]

Such a sick car, makes me want one

[@jn7154]

I really like the teardrop kinda shape you shaved into the fog light holes for the intercooler piping. I don't know why but I think it looks great 🤷‍♀️

[@truckerguy28]

New t shirt opportunity. "Ohh DP, it hits hard" I'll take 1% lol

[@davidcookson4043]

I was genuinely concerned that PT just forgot what he was saying. I'm glad it's just the video.

[@Busydadgarage717]

I am SO glad you guys build the cars that you want, and not the crazy high HP KZbin norm. Usable power that is fun is where it is at in my book. 600hp fwd tire burners truly annoy me at this point. Kinda over it.

[@ianm432]

TBolt clamps and constant tension worm gear clamps work best with a bit of lubrication. A bit of spray on all clamping surfaces can slide happily. I have t bolt clamps on big truck stuff and they are the only thing that holds up at 40 or 50 psi

[@scottcameron5972]

Beautiful car

[@amoni1959]

PT sounding like Elmo when he so happy. 😂😂

[@civicpride1986]

B18 LS is such underrated motor.. I have had multiple engines if those booster up to 602whp and they love boost.

[@kc510]

“Faster than an STi.” I think that’s the perspective people need. That’s getting after it in a little old Honda! And potentially day ruining for a Subaru guy.

[@LTrejo91]

A couple paused moments in the vid upload, but your civic looks super clean and also looks extremely fun

[@hifiandmtb]

That's a wicked amount of tyre for an EG - it'll have grip for days!

[@TML34]

Upload needs Vtec! 😂 sounds good, boys!

[@yeahman1756]

I'd definitely do full piping intercooler with minimal coupler clamps. it's easier to locate boost leak. because it's either at the intercooler coupler mounting , intake manifold or a vaccum line.

[@renatoperez8792]

Test driving in Mexico Love it!

[@Brandon-C.]

Is EVO content on your agenda this year?

[@samjamrozik1671]

I use to track a turbo civic n it was a blast the trick I did to remove the t stat n temps stayed around 170'f

[@JP-gd1ln]

There is a reason vtec killer cams exist. The non-vtec b18b1 when built correctly can make as much power rev high and flow as well as VTEC head just requires a few more mods on my turbo b18b1 it's got 68mm TB s2 pro Intake manifold BC stage 2 turbo cams BC springs & retainers CNC ported head with flow #'s equal to b18c5 intervals include arias flat top 10:1 pistons k1 rods & CSS block HD oil pump & ATI dampener to support higher reving & making power up top equal to vtec really comes down to Compression ratio cams springs & the CNC ported head

[@bigmanbuilds]

I'm predicting the eg will pull on the ef in the straights but the ef will be able to catch up in the corners. The linear power band of the b16 will allow more throttle usage throughout the turns, while the snappy spool of the turbo will cause the eg to understeer if not managed right. All in all should be an awesome race though!😊

[@sogonexd9130]

Great build! What exhaust are you guys running? I love how quiet it is. 😊

[@jahbrake9791]

Wicked build guys! Grab a low temp thermostat, and maybe some water wetter for those temps oh and F the haters!🙌
