Civic EG

Hi everybody,

My name is Mark, i have recently purchased my second B18CR swapped hatchback. I owned a previous hatch in red with the 18cr and it is the most funnest car i have ever owned. This new car is in racing yellow, has the ITR LSD and 114 hub replacement, Link G4 ecu etc.

I am looking forwad to getting this car to me this weekend for a good look over, fingers crossed its as good as the previous owner has told me!

All the best and cheers.

P.S, have previously owned a EF5 1996 4wd 6 speed shuttle among alot of others, currently own a Nissan Cefiro A31 drift car, but am going back to the fun and reliability of honda!

This is the new car, can anybody confirm for me the "gti" model and what it specifically features? This car has a sunroof.

I have never heard of a Civic gti model before, but your cars make me

Could be GLI... same as the ones we have here in Australia

So I picked this car up at about 11am Saturday morning and had it ran up on the dyno by 1pm. Initial power run netted 167 which was below what I was expecting. The tune had a lean spot right before engagement which my tuber said was quite frequent in these engines.

After playing with the car for the afternoon, installing the link g4 ecu to get a good tune on it we stepped away with 175hp, quite taken back as would have loved a bit more power. I understand the drive train robs some power but these engines came factory 200+hp?

We set a launch control for 4500rpm which is some serious fun, and pulled the Rev limit back to 8.8rpm. The car is making consistent power to 9k+ but wanted to be safe.

Drove the car home on Sunday and it is some serious fun. Maybe 10-20 more hp would be great but I couldn't wipe the smile from my face after the handling and response. Used one third of a tank driving 2.5 hours home on open road, which I thought was good.

Now I can't wait to enjoy the car some more!

You have to remember that all dynos read different and based on altitude and air temperature your power can vary a bit. What other modifications do you have done to the engine? Intake, header, exhaust, tune? Also factory horsepower rating at the crankshaft was 197hp.

I can also tell you from experience that here in Florida I have seen B18C engines with intake, header, exhaust, and Hondata S300 put down 170-180hp on the dyno so I really don't think you have anything at all to worry about.
