I drive a BMW as you can see, but i would like to build a fast "egg" if it can save me some money... I dont know if egg is what you guys use but that is what my friends call those hatch civics with engine swap + turbo... They peel out all the way through 3rd the one time i saw one floor it on the road, that is sick. How much money would it cost to buy the engine, turbo kit, etc... my brother used to have a 2000 honda civic ex and he put the greddy turbo kit on his car but didnt install the blue box which = not good. SO he dont have that no more

Please let me know with this info, thanks

Never heard it called "egg" before. Hatch, HB, or Bubble-Back though.

 

yeah i never heard it called an egg either...Cost depends on what quality your lookin for.....hatch maybe like 3000-4500.....b-series engine 2000-3000....and turbo not sure but they go like 500-3000 depending on quality...donno if those are accurate.....just off the top of my head

 

id agree with forilla except on the engine...a full b16 swap can be had for 1500 if you look hard enough. if you plan on running the engine stock then a cheaper turbo setup will do you fine...like a custom 'kit' and a garrett T25 turbo. if you plan on building an engine...the same general setup with a bigger turbo...like a T3/T04.

the car could be had for anywhere as low as 1000 bucks if you find one in good condition with a blow engine (since your replacing that anyway) up to 7000 (prolly dont wanna get one that high), then the engine about 1500-3000, then a turbo setup, depending on it, can be had from 700ish-3000. thats the cheapest it will be...prolly in the mid 13s to high 12s depending on the engine you get.

now if you build the engine...it will be more expensive (2000 for car, 3000 for engine, 2000 for internals), but you could run a massive turbo setup (up to and including 5k...those things are awesome) and be making 10s or 11s with 16k or maybe a little under

 

what type of turbo kits do the really fast civics have on them? is it the drag kit? because my brother had the greddy kit and the civic wasnt really fast, prolly mid to high 14's in the quarter if he would've taken it <---(aint bad though). I have seen civics getting like 10's-11's and so forth... what do you need to do for that, im not really worried about the car issue, just the money issue. Ignore the part about the egg then lol

is the b series engine the best one?
$2000-3000

and is 3000 for the drag kit?
my bro's kit was 1500 when he got it a couple years ago but that isnt the power i am aiming for

if i did all this... would it be reliable? if i made a civic run in 10's-11's would it be a reliable daily driver?

p.s. links to some sites would be awsome!
didnt see the last post until after i wrote all this... sorry if i repeated something
thanks

 

First of all, don't use a B16 for hardcore boost applications unless you have a s**t-ton of money or you already have a Spoon long block.

Now, as always, I say go with the GSR engine, which shouldn't set you back more than $2,800. The rest of the costs will vary depending on whether or not you're doing your own work.

A 10 second Civic would probably be using a T3/T04B with a really aggressive A/R, or (if they're crazy enough) a T-60. However, for something streetable, I would say go with a GT28RS or maybe a less potent trim on the T3/T04. The advantage of the T-28 is that it spools almost as quick as a T-25 (around 3,100 rpm for full boost) and can put down roughly 375 whp. I would set aside around $2,500 for a good kit plus any extra expenses. You're also going to want an LSD for obvious reasons.

But a lot of getting good numbers out of it is going to be tuning. If you build a 10 second hatch with quality parts and work and tune it right, it will be good to you on the street. And everyone else will go home crying.

 

do you guys have any web-sites w/ engines, turbo kits, parts, etc??? is the gsr the b18c1 engine out of an integra? can that engine obtain 10's in the quarter? Just tryin to learn this stuff because i am really thinking about doing this and selling my car i have now... thanks

 

Dude... you gotta bimmer. Expect any part to even fart toward your car with high expenense.

swap a K20 and boost it lightly. More expensive, bad ***

 

i know about bavauto, it is a bmw parts site, i am not talking about bmw's though... i am not sure what you mean by what you said
