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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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!
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
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!
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.
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
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! 🤝
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 💪
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 🤷♀️
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😅
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 TH-camrs out!
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.
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.
I am SO glad you guys build the cars that you want, and not the crazy high HP TH-cam 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.
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!😊
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
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.
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
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).
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.
Im a time attack driver in utah but race all over the country. You guys should get into that growing scene. I'd love to get involved somehow with you. I have the fastest tt1 car in the country. I win everywhere i go but suck at media in general. A way to team up would be an unbeatable combo!
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
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.
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.
Hey all, Looks like the encoding through TH-cam has caused a couple glitches, we are working with YT to fix the issue. Sorry for inconvenience!
still gonna watch. Gotta get those views up! Great episode guys!
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.

Same issue on multiple devices.
Ive been noticing that on other videos alot lately. I think YT is just being buggy for alot of channels.
Same
DUUUUUUUUDE!! I was like wtf is wrong with my internet! lol
😊😅😅😅😊😅😅😅
11:51 thought it was buffering, just the video being frozen, but great to see the civic making some jam!
Ok. So it’s not just me.
@@therealboofighter
Same on my side, happened 3 different times but still a good vid to watch in the morning! 🤝
lol I just restarted Chrome thinking it may be my browser
Civic goes so hard it fucks up the recording. Nice
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.
Liked the outside outro. The car looks mental. Clean, OEM look, nothing about the looks, it's all about driving. Greetings from Greece.

Exactly.
For Street Driving, low Down torque is King. High Power at high RPM is for Drag Strips and showing off to your mates!
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.
How many ppl here thought their internet cut out when the video paused? lol Epic build!!
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
Yeah,on a drag strip this will do low 12s on slicks easy
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.

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

Shouts out to nick. Always a pleasure working with him!
You guys DOUBLED the power output of that b18. That's awesome! That thing is definitely going to be a blast to drive
The idea that you have to explain "underdelivering for the internet" is what's wrong with the internet. Awesome build.

The civic EG is such a classic now. they are getting rare to find clean and taken care of now.
Weird, i didnt get a notification of this vid on Saturday. Checked your channel this morning and there was a video. Catching up now.

Mine was a 95 CX hatch. GSR fat fives and a Canadian tire "head unit and 6.5" speaker" package. Those were the days 🤙
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 🤷♀️
Excellent job guys!
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!
Love the result, great work guys

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 TH-camrs out!
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
So used to VTEC Dyno pulls, was waiting for it to kick in every pull that was made.
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.
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.
I love this build. It is a car I would be happy to autocross and flog! An inspired work.
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.
A couple paused moments in the vid upload, but your civic looks super clean and also looks extremely fun
B18 LS is such underrated motor.. I have had multiple engines if those booster up to 602whp and they love boost.
Such an awesome build!
I am SO glad you guys build the cars that you want, and not the crazy high HP TH-cam 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.
Fun car. 😮
I love you guys, much love from greece
Great build!
I just picked up a eg b16a2 not long ago but EF9 is where my heart is. Love both though
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!😊
very wise choice on the wheels
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
That's a wicked amount of tyre for an EG - it'll have grip for days!
loved this series
The best hose clamps to use are Breeze Constant-Torque. They are pricier and a touch bulkier, but the best.
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.

Wooo that’s awesome I kinda wanna swap a b18 into my ek now. Can’t wait for the track video
Love it. And tuning by nick, we are gagging for some Porsche swap kit updates....
Not obsessed with bragging rights/ numbers... How refreshing in this age. You guys are legit enthusiasts.
great vid guys cheers
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.
A few videos back that throttle body camp was put on sideways. I remember seeing it and thinking it would cause a problem later.
Great series guys
I was genuinely concerned that PT just forgot what he was saying. I'm glad it's just the video.
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.
Excellent job, love it!
Shoulda coated that manifold in some heat resistant coating if you are worried about heat during track use.
Can't help but notice the deformed front fender wells. I guess you did something to accommodate the beefier wheels. Great episode nevertheless guys!
Im a time attack driver in utah but race all over the country. You guys should get into that growing scene. I'd love to get involved somehow with you. I have the fastest tt1 car in the country. I win everywhere i go but suck at media in general. A way to team up would be an unbeatable combo!
Should coat and diy a heat shield the manifold if you want to control those temps on the track
You guys are the best!
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
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
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.
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.
Super cool build 🔥🙌🏼
Water Wetter guys. get it anywhere. Lowers water temps easily.
My stock b16a just made 320hp 240tq at 7200rpm on e85. 11.5 psi
Looks very fun!, dont you have any fun roads nearby? We always get to see these dreadful roads and stoplights?
Wicked build guys! Grab a low temp thermostat, and maybe some water wetter for those temps oh and F the haters!🙌
