My RHD Civic MX

By Apexi22
- Mon Jun 09, 2014 3:10 pm #346299 I have this car about 6 years now and this is where it started



Image
Image
Image

This car was stock with a D15B3 twincarb engine, only thing that was fitted was the 14" Racing Sparco NS-II rims.

Currently looks something like this still....i think

Image
Image
Image

Power run :
Image

Change of color

Image
Image
Image
Image

Some Cellphone pics, not the best quality :oops:

Image
Image
Image
Image

Did some updates, fitted some Koni Yellows and Ground Control Coilover kit and some new wheels
and some other odd and ends

Image
Image
Image


Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image

Added VTEC



Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image

Pic of the car standing at home for now, need to sort out some wiring and fit some electronics

Image
Image

Image

I felt silly for spending so much money on 2 bolts but the quality of this is really good

Image
Image
Image

Added a Turbo

Image
Image
Image
Image
Image

Also got a set of Mugen RNR

Image
Image
car made 206kw and 292nm at 0.5 bar boost on the wheels.
Works out to 276hp and 215lbs/ft on the wheels

Image

This was such a mission to fit but well worth it

Image
Image
Image
Image
Image

Small update, upped boost to 0.6 bar
Being very carefull, don't trust these B20 sleeves for shit :lol:
Once again power at the front wheels

I finally got the car tuned a bit last night, still some odds and ends to finish and then it will go back on the dyno for a final tune.

K20Z4 motor
3" induction pipe with old Simota filter
Ac and ps delete
3" exhaust with just a rear box
Ktuned Race Header
S90 70mm Cable Throttle Body
Adaptronic e420d Basic Select ECU
201whp and 153wtq


Image

So i've had the car back at home for about 2 weeks now and got around to giving it a good wash and polish

Image

Image

Image

Went to a Subaru Dyno Day and this is what the car made on a very hot Saturday afternoon

Image

And this is the dynorun -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVLgZ0UVqC8

Only thing bugging me now is the idling as it's irratic sometimes and even switches the car off when it's cold so need to fit a IACV.
Throttle is also crap because when you cruising at part throttle the accelerator is like a on/off switch but a friend advised how i can sort that out.
Need to get the speedo working also and finally clean up the interior and make a plan with the centre console but i have an idea in mind.

All the smaller pics open bigger when you click on them

And that's it so far

- Mon Jun 09, 2014 4:16 pm #346303 Wow :shock: Seeing it go from start to finish in one post was huge before/after.

Clean black hatches are one of my favorites so I was a little let down to see it painted the blue-grey color but when you put white wheels on instead of the black ones, I was in love with the new color :thumb:

And the D to B to K swaps :thumb: :thumb:

Mint car :thumb:

- Mon Jun 09, 2014 5:35 pm #346306 Wow... crazy amount of work but it looks like it paid off. Now you're on the K swap, when you look back on it, do you regret putting the B20 in first?

Thanks very much dude
Reason I sprayed it is because there was an identical black Hatch driving around here and that's 1 to many for a place that has about 5 EG hatches total :P

Thanks again

Thanks bru
Not at all I actually had the most fun with the D and B setup.
The D15b would rev to 8000rpm and I gave a few cars a fright :lol:
The B20 non vtec I would beat up everyday, go to the track, touge and then drive to work the Monday so it was lotsa fun

The B20 VTEC Turbo engine was retarded, to much just way to much for daily use :lol:
But I'm glad I had the experiences

Don't have much experience with the K cause I only drive the car once a week cause the throttle sucks and the car doesn't idle(no IACV yet)

Managed to get the throttle story sorted by fitting the b series TPS on the K series Throttle body and also fitted the Type S oil pump so the car could rev higher.

Here is a test run after the pump was fitted

Bought a set of these Trac light 13x8 rims
Image

Went to a 1 mile drag event and managed 124mph with the car unprepped on pump fuel

Here is a race of me vs a RB26DETT S13
