TurboCharging an EG Honda Civic - DYNO Results & Street Drive | PT7

[@speedacademy]

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!

[@Αναστάσιος-σ8υ]

What's the point of installing a G30-660 and keeping the boost so low. A good old GT3071 wouldn't had been much worse. Still, the final result is very good.

[@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

[@-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.

[@hydrocarbon82]

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-]

@@hydrocarbon82cheers mate, mine is a Turbonetics T3/4E 5057 with a .63 rear housing so should be fun.

[@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.

[@mariosnikolaou5212]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@dru106]

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

[@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

[@jench78]

I think a lot of people turboing these cars make the mistake of pushing for too much power. You guys always hit the sweet spot.

[@mrbookends]

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

[@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

[@jrbuch]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@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!

[@BulliKid]

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

[@bigmanbuilds]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@yungcesarpaterson6529]

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

[@Boostwerks]

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

[@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!

[@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! 🤝

[@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.

[@hawkman996]

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

[@renjamun]

I thought it was just me!

[@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.

[@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.

[@chancelavin2493]

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

[@BrandonK80]

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

[@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

[@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 🤙

[@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 💪

[@calebz5890]

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

[@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!

[@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!

[@aaronkent76]

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

[@jordandemarchi1926]

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

[@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.

[@christophermartin4887]

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

[@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.

[@aroundomaha]

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

[@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!

[@ryanmott9550]

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

[@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 🤷‍♀️

[@alanleclair1]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@pinkstars2185]

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

[@1_of_4]

Awesome build. The driving experience looks so damn nice.

[@bgee461]

Love how it turned out, well done

[@92boostedh22]

Excellent job guys!

[@markmartin7384]

Love the result, great work guys

[@LTrejo91]

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

[@AZ-hf9ow]

It's always great to see Nick 😎🤙

[@hifiandmtb]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@civicpride1986]

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

[@viruxer]

This is actually a great combination. Exhaust an all. You don't need the VTEC head. Yes, it will make more power at high rpms but it will be more sluggish at low rpms. Which is something you don't want. This is a good all-round setup for a daily driver and as a weekend toy, which I think is what you were going for. Now leave it and track it. It's a Honda, have fun with it.

[@AnotherMotorist]

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

[@davidcookson4043]

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

[@jahbrake9791]

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

[@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

[@Genno1012]

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

[@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

[@ConiferConnoisseur]

Such an awesome build!

[@eptdy]

A few videos back that throttle body camp was put on sideways. I remember seeing it and thinking it would cause a problem later.

[@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!😊

[@NormalGuy]

Can you guys do some 0-60 and 1/4 mile draggy pulls when you hit the race track?

[@Darylrb1983]

Honesltyl. 260whp is perfect. Ill spend the money for an understressed build, knowing i could turn it up if I waited (with supporting mods) . This just screams reliable

[@nissanv6TT]

vtec head is cool but you'll have to change quite a few things. it would be better to get a set of agressive cams for the b18b instead.

[@kc550]

Love it. The swoopy, angled clearance cuts on the bumper vents should really be leveled out though. It looks bizarre with a shape that doesn't flow with any of the other design details. Simple cut across to make it flat.

[@fahisaurus]

The best hose clamps to use are Breeze Constant-Torque. They are pricier and a touch bulkier, but the best.

[@BrodeyDoverosx]

Turbo Seal makes good stuff too. And you’re right, pricey!! Good quality worm drive clamps are very, very, very good. My FIATs OEM ones are worm gear + constant torque. Pretty impressive.

[@KINGVONFRM063]

I love you guys, much love from greece

[@carlosmojica-escobedo6731]

260 is awesome! Eventually im wanting to learn with my own car (once im able to afford parts) and swap in another engine and make hopefully around 230 to 250 for my little RSX

[@carlosmojica-escobedo6731]

Although I might swap it out for a type s so that any work is easier and doesn't require much fab work since I don't have much space nor equipment to work with.

[@truckerguy28]

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

[@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).

[@garagecedric]

Looks very fun!, dont you have any fun roads nearby? We always get to see these dreadful roads and stoplights?

[@sum-dood]

My stock b16a just made 320hp 240tq at 7200rpm on e85. 11.5 psi

[@miketejero]

Can't help but notice the deformed front fender wells. I guess you did something to accommodate the beefier wheels. Great episode nevertheless guys!

[@emersonc1210]

Shoulda coated that manifold in some heat resistant coating if you are worried about heat during track use.

[@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.

[@francoisremillard9703]

I had this exact setup and I highly suggest you to go to an ls transmission. It is longer ratio and more suited for this motor.

[@jp2246]

Great build!

[@kkkevv224]

loved this series

[@spencersgarage]

Excellent job, love it!

[@dirkdig3628]

Should coat and diy a heat shield the manifold if you want to control those temps on the track

[@TML34]

Upload needs Vtec! 😂 sounds good, boys!

[@DBbytheSea]

Great series guys

[@youtubiefun]

very wise choice on the wheels

[@mathieucossette9019]

If I remember NGK has some nice high-end spark plugs for turbo applications... 😁😁😁

[@angelodiiorio8303]

You guys need to do a head to head with the FK8 type R seems like a pretty good comparison and power level seem similar
