I believe that's TD05-12A, which is a smaaaaallll turbo (but it'll be good on a Civic, if you can get it installed right.) They can hold their own until about 14 or 15 psi, so if you've got a built motor (or are going for a build) and want to run higher boost, you're going to need something else. The good news is, it'll spool mad fast; the turbine wheel is so much bigger than the compressor wheel that it'll throw it around no problem. The bad news is, I've never heard of anyone installing one on a Civic. Here's why: Starions were RWD (longitudinally mounted engine), with the turbo situated on the passenger's side. This means that the compressor was located on the frontside of the turbo setup (and to the front of the car) so the intake could feed directly into it. What this means is, if you were to try and line this up with a Civic engine (laterally mounted), you would find that the compressor will be on the driver's side of the setup, which means you'll need some fancy charge and intake pipe routing to make it work...

Yeah, no one really knows about them. I think they'd be good drift material myself...

LMAO! That one in the picture has a lot of spare tires on it...

Well of course... but that would be a tricky adaptation.

Well, at least for those, the RWD drivetrain already EXISTS... I don't know anyone who makes a RWD tranny and driveline for a 4G63.

thats what saw-zalls were made for.:D J/K. hmmm, what motor now.......

02-21-2005, 01:00 AM
what about a 13b? or even a 20b? hmmmm, the possibilities. if its all custom, mount it hella low in the bay, to keep the center of gravity lower. and maybe even push the firewall back a little to put more weight in between the axles. i mean damn, that motors so small for the power it makes, you could move it around the bay a little more than a piston engine.

OK, let me start off by saying I'm pretty ripped while I'm posting this. For one thing, 13B's and 20B's are lacking one important thing (even more than Civics): TORQUE. Sure, those power numbers look good, but there's no guts to back it up. Plus, putting a Mazda rotary in a Starion is just nuts and a half. And, rotaries are overrated by too many people. But that really has nothing to do with this post.

thanx for raping my post.

Oh yeah.. so youre saying that it will be hard to get that piping worked out?

Kappa22
02-21-2005, 03:35 PM
Sorry for the thread jack, but yeah, it'll be hard to get piping that'll fit. I mean, you could custom-fab it if you have access to that kind of thing, but I've never heard of a 12A piping kit for a Civic.

well i just got back from hawkins. they said it would be 1300 for the kit without the turbo. and 1800 for the installation. Yeah im kinda pissed
