- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 ส.ค. 2011
- UPDATE: for all those who think this method means the motor wont last, here is a video from friday april 5th 2013 of the car still running strong, its been over a year and around 10k miles of hard beating. • AWD civic running 11.1...
UPDATE: ALSO CHECK OUT MY SECOND VIDEO ON HOW TO TURBO YOUR HONDA you can see it here • how to turbo your hond...
this video shows the steps to turbo your honda in a couple days with upgraded internals and not removing the engine or doing any machine work.
also for those saying you need to do some sort of easy break in period i think you need to read this article , the old fashioned ways are long gone www.mototuneusa.com/break_in_s... - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
You can build it over a weekend but cant get it tuned till Monday(:
Good one xD
Ridelow James truuuuu lol
Unless you know a guy
LOL epic
the "lip" inside the cylinders isn't from the factory...its from the wear the rings cause after thousands of miles. Since the rings don't go all the way to the top the wear doesn't reach the top of the sleeve hence the lip.
Ridge mor commonly called
Havent seen this in a decade..you were a pioneer on here bro.. you should be proud ... i went boost because of you
dude awesome video .....wtf no one wanted to help hold the camera you really needed ur hands free...you sir are a master thanks again
What size pistons and rings? did you order standard size rings and piston and did you measure ring gap? Great video!
Stock bore 81mm
You should do a video on how your clean up the head and block and prep for new headgasket
not nessesary,its too easy
some tips for everyone watching this, always use a straight edge with a feeler gauge on top of the block to check for war-page. reason being if your block is warped your head wont seal properly and could lead to future issues such as oil and combustion leaks. if you do find war-page on your block send it to a machine shop to be re-decked and make sure to always send your head to the machine shop to be resurfaced and always use a new head gasket and head studs. make sure you always use the berry bush to re cross hatch the cylinders regardless what this video says. it will promote oil flow into the piston oil rings. other wise pretty spot on justin. i love your vids man
This was good enough that I watched it a second time, but sat on my couch with a beer instead of mousing over another vid. Nice job!
overnight parts from japan
That's pretty funny lol
D E A D
Nice job.. This video was pretty well put together.. Touched on some good points.. My only
Criticism is on the filming.. Should have had someone else do the filming for you.. Oh. The lip you feel at the top of the cylinder wall. Is generally carbon build up.. It's not there when the engine is first assembled.. It Build's up over the life of the engine.. It can be found on any engine that run a full cycle.. Just ask the 4.3l v6 I'm building..
saw this video a few years when I first got into hondas. still watch it today, and one day hope to do the same when I get a project civic. thanks again for making this video
This guy makes it look so easy while I’m over here searching how to do it and need to know how to weld and all sorts of knowledge that needs to be learned
did u just slap in ur rods and pistons and bearings? no measurements done to ur bearings?
500 horses in a Civic, would you like a civic to go with that horsepower lol, haha
Don't forget that's to the wheels so the car would have to make at least 600hp
JamandTheHolograms FWD cars only lose 15% so its more like about 585BHP
If a civic loses 15% of 600hp it would would rate around 510hp. 600x.15=90 600-90=510
Infamo95Infamo95 good math yo.
Infamo95Infamo95 It doesnt loose 15% from 600hp, 500 they are only 85% of crank power so 100% is 585
Good video man! Gotta love the simplicity of working on Hondas and the gobs of power they can potentially make!
Great video man. This is something I have been looking for for a long time. Really well put together. My B16A2 in my EK has now done 170,000 miles and I'm a little concerned it's probably not a good idea to boost it, although I have looked after the motor well and it doesn't use any oil or water. I wish more people in the UK knew series like this
How much in labor cost would this be? I would love to take my engine apart like that but I don't trust myself, I know I'll have some random bolts when I'm done.
At the rate mechanics charge... thousands and thousands. Better off buying a new car.
If you have the desire, you can figure it out. Do some research and when it comes time to take it apart, take pictures and document the deconstruction.
just watch a couple of videos and read about it. Honda dohc engines are very easy to work on
jony1495 but they take time
Good machine shops will assemble a short block for $400-$500. I am going to pay reid at kiazanspeed to assemble my 1,000hp short block but the expensive part is when they have to take it apart and do extra crap
will it work if you turbo it during the week days?
no, because saturdays are for the boys
No stock sleeves don't like weekday builds
Dude i wish i could have the time and skills to do what you do! I love it !! GOOD WORK
Sweet setup bro. I love underdog turbo setups. I ran a 4G63t engine in a 92 Dodge Colt (Mitsu Mirage) with a 20g turbo, 660cc injectors, Evo 8 pistons, 1G rods, ACL Teflon coated bearings, Evo 3 cams, OBX adj cam gears, 3" turbo back exhaust, Apex'i AFC, F5m33 trans with AWD 5th gear and LSD, and more, and made 308HP to the wheels at 12 psi. The car weighed in at 2175 lbs and would spin both front wheels well into 4th gear and bark them going into 5th. Fun, fun car. Lit up a 2012 Corvette GS.
what about the ecu
there is a guy bragging about how much something costs.. cost does not equal value. Some people just really don't understand that money doesn't always equal better.... just means you have money...
Well you see with cars you get what you pay for, so you can buy your ebay turbo kit and get a piece of shit.
What do you mean $550 for kswap motor mounts arent awesome cuz theyr really a rip of iver priced pieces of metal ? Lol greed
Wow THANKS ALOT FOR This video I swear I have never seen such a fast and straight to the point tutorial more videos please .
Finally someone that knows how to talk/write... I'm a car enthusiast, and yes I do own and Honda Civic, but it's mine and I like it, it's fast enough to drive on streets and I know it can handle that speeds, and I can do tons of miles/kms without the engine "blowing in my face", because that's also why Hondas are good, they can run tons of miles without creating a million problems.
A turbo? Who needs that when you've got VTEC YO!!!!
why not put 3 cherries on top of a sundae instead of just 1? sometimes it's better to have more kW output even if it's not by that much
Randall Laureano
Clearly your sarcasm sense is a little low. It was a joooookkkeeee.
Have both yo yo
If you said it won't last you clearly don't know Hondas lol
Tks for the great instructional video. Got mine installed and dynoed 401whp 18lbs b18c hmo stock cams
An awesome how-to! It's really helpful that people will take the time to do things like this!
These comments lol facepalm.
This video should be renamed and made into a series... "How to throw a rod in your Honda over the weekend" and then the following video will be "How to rebuild your motor after turbocharging it" the next weekend...
you're a dumbass, he has ran this setup for over a year now with consistent abuse.
Let's all resort to name calling.
Lol
Which is why he tuned the car. And didn't drive in boost until the tune....wait why did you watch this video again???
Considering this video is 2 years old, and the car is STILL going strong, your post is irrelevant.
Where's this dude been ?? Loved his videos I didnt realize this was 10yrs ago lol
Beautiful video.. Love how you can tell how late it was getting from the noise of the bugs.. How many of these have you done?
not much of a honda guy but awesome vid man, hope everthing goes well with your car!
nice clean work wish there were videos like yours years ago
You obviously know what you're doing here, dope work & nice car man.
Respect man you explained yourself pretty good now I have a picture of what to do man thanks
Great video! Just thought I would bring up something about pulling the rods and pistons out to all the viewers . Make sure you don't scratch your crank when pulling the uncapped rods out, the studs can scratch your crank up if you aren't cautions. They make Connecting Rod Bolt Protectors, although not necessary, they can come in handy in certain situations.
a piece of rubber fuel line works well for that...
just a little info, even though you had to check the main bearings you don't have to take out the center girdle to remove the pistons, that's what the slots in the middle of the girdle are for, you can fit a socket in there easily
2 years ago and its still goin strong. and his buddy built a lsvtec turbo, also making roughly the same and hes beat on it non stop for 2 years as well and its still golden. Im not a honda fan boy but it is possible.
Great setup Justin, I'am doing the same setup on my Em1.
Suzuki Vitara pistons?
Nice vid man.. love these tech vids. Did not know there was a girdle on the B18cs
you forgot to mention to the ones learning that when removing and installing take care not to scratch the walls with the rod bolts.Good vid man!
thorough job. so many people dont realize the little things like the oil line and beefier rods have to be done in order for the car to run correctly for years and years. people always bad mouth civics, but for their class civics are the top dog. just watch rally racing and touring races. in the civics are top dog most of the time.
I love seeing people who share their knowledge..
Hey man good video nice setup. I was thinking of going b series or making a Frankenstein but turbo all the way. Thanks for the video man.
Excellent Video, looks a real easy engine to work on, lots of space
i wish people would understand this engine has bin done properly to an extent, yes this will work if the engine was never over heated or other issues, so no machine work is needed.
In my knowlage with engines(im a licenced tech working in a GM dealership) i would suggest with his set up ever year mabey 2 years depending how hard you drive it and how often she see's 6-8 grand to just straight up slip and slide new rod and main bearings in.
i have a few friends that do that once a year and it really does work at keeping the oil pressure up and the bottem end good
look in my channel its been almost two years since this video was made. the car has made 100s of passes down the 1/4 mile. tens of thousands of street miles and its still running 10.7s in the 1/4 and runs and sounds perfect. stop touching motors? never in fact since this video i have helped more people build perfect performing motors this exact way. just street tuned a buddies tonight and it goes to the dyno wed. built exactly like in this video. and yes i meant PCV i corrected it at the end.
Great job you guys!!! I really enjoyed watching the video! Good inspiration!!!
Funny I watch the whole video and john is tuning your car. He tunes my stuff too. I'm from Allentown pa. Man that civic is super clean. Nice video
please see the video link i just added to my description. its been over a year and tons of beating and the car is till running like day one.
Thank you very much, i just build my bottom end using this method.. I also use those same pistons and scat rods and acl race bearing to build mine, will be taking it to the dyno and plan on pushing about 18psi.. my motor is an LS so i am only aiming for 350whp..
Weekend projects are always fun cause you work on the, yourselves knowing you're car on a personal level, rather than others who don't take time to learn
Watching this made me respect you honda boys alot more. Let there be no doubt I am still a hardcore muscle freak. Great job
Awesome video man don't see too much of these
Damn. You did a fantastic job. good info, very clean civic. Who did the wire tuck/ paint? Clean!
HE CLEARLY SAID THIS WAS FOR MORE ADVANCED USERS.. I THINK HE JUST WANTED TO SHOW IT COULD BE DONE IF YOU STOP LOOKING AT YOUR CAR AND GET IT DONE!!! GOOD JOB
Nice, old school way engine rebuilding. much respect.
Great video dunno how I came across it but it caught my eye I use to have mine turbo but took it off after a couple years anyways I just wanted to say your right about the break in period I have people ask if they need to drive their cars easy after a rebuild I was always taught for the new springs and all that go out and give it some nice pulls and that's what I've always done never had a problem in fact my rebuilt engine has lasted through years of boost and now a year or so of NA after a ret
dope ass video..ill be doing a full rebuild on my h22a here shortly id like it to go as smoothly as yours came together,it will be my first full rebuild going to take my time hope it comes out good!
Dude I showed my friend this BC he has a Honda delsol an he said that it did help him a lot but he wished u would have included showing us taking off everything but as I said very helpful thanx!!!!!
that was sick. that must of been a fun project and that civic must be fun building to a nicer faster car
Garage Built Hondas sent me, great video.
he's very descriptive. ive never done a turbo and this is enough info for me
Love this vid, sub'ed and tuned in for more!
Hey man, if you're tuning it yourself I'd recommend looking into "Ectune". It's for personal, home-tuners to use on the street. I would however still suggest trying to find a tuner in a different city that could use Neptune/Hondata S300 to properly tune your turbo so you get the full gains.
Good luck, take your time and do it right!
The title should read:
"How to Obtain a 1:1 Car-Value Depreciation Ratio (Floor-Limited)...."
Meaning:
For ever thousand $$ you put into that car, you'll decrease the value by the same amount....until it decreases to a certain value (i.e. floor). Then you might see some return...
But, I have to say, this was one interesting - and very informative video!! I enjoyed it, dude!!
Mass produced cars make horrible investments. If you are doing this you are not looking to make money, you are looking to have fun.
Joe11Blue only reason to turbo, fast acceleration=fun. :p
I love how easy and roomy this is. Wish my B5 S4 was this roomy :(
best how to video yet
im doin a d16y8 vitara eagle setup and i was explainin to my dad that well probably want to get a oil catch can for it (he knows old american cars, not hondas lol) he was tellin me that if we only vent the valve cover but pressurize the crankcase it would be easier on the engine under boost since the psi in the intake and combustion chambers would be the same psi as the crankcase, hes idea was less blow by from the pistons cause i also told him how the vitaras fit a little loose. i told him all the turbo builds ive seen ran oil catch cans or like what you did, capped of the output on the IM and put a filter on the black box.
oil catch because the system still needs that vacuum and the ECU has counted that air so it must go back in
Kudos to you. Honing with crank in is pretty crazy in my book, but you got it done.
Since you didnt talk about it. What are you tuning with on the ECU side?
Thank you for this video. You make it look easy. Oh and you're like the import version of me ha. only I have a camaro. Same views on things. Heads up, you can use a brake booster check valve on a pcv hose to keep from pressurizing the crankcase under boost. I did it works great. Best of luck!
Amazing video. So simple and to the point. But it would be helpfull if you show how to do the harder bits. Removing pistons etc. But amazing vid
best video that shows how to do stuff good job
Very cool my friend.
Will be building one soon. Actually a few. ..
Nice video. Was that dyno video at IMW?
thank you high school text school i took auto1 my junior year and this year im in machining i love understanding everything you say i wanna buil a turbo car ounce i get my truck finished ive only rebuilt dirtbike fourwheeler engines for myself but at school all i get to build are 350sbc
Nice work im sure you pleased with the outcome
Great video kind sir , Iv never tooken my head off before , but am about to attempt it, and one thing i was hoping you would cover in this video was putting the head back on, iv heard terms like claying the block? and Iv also heard alot of people say that if you dont get your head milled it will smoke no matter what? prolly BS but just curious if you have some tips on putting the head back on , cleaing , things to look for. I just have a little b18a1 .
yeah, easy as hell to use.
i was just pointing out the fact of in the video he pretty much said the lip is standard from factory.
Excellent work my friend!!!
you made a good video, many thumps up for you man.... :) I do hope your love will be running greate!

The piping from the intake manifold is the Cold side. It goes down to the left into the intercooler and the right side of the intercooler piping is the hotside going to the turbo compressor. In the picture he didn't have a filter on his intake side yet (on the turbo).
I wish my wife talked about head as much as this guy does. great vid btw, i learned quite a bit. thanks!
love your work! don't worry about the haters, i own a clubsport R8 and the only reason V8 drivers hate these cars is because they can't beat them...
Very nice video! I'll be replacing my turbo and some parts the next couple days. I think i'll post a video too. I made a bet I could build a SOHC d16y8 that could out do any DOHC cars I come across. So far it's done it's job. I'll comment when I post. Very clean engine though man! I envy the cleanliness. I suck with paint though. Any tips?
eagle rods have ARP 2000 7/16th bolts and are good to around 800 whp. i have never personally had them that high but i have had several set ups that made around 650 whp or 700+ crank with these same eagles and never a issue even shifting at over 9 grand all day lonh
i know this is an old video but did you gap the piston rings its very important to gap or at least check the gap especially with a turbo application
WOOWW AMAZIN YOU ARE JUSTIN INSANE IM FROM COLOMBIA DUDE AWESSOME JOB
Thank goodness, a quality video... nice job.
I had no idea wtf you were talking about 90% of the time, I just watched the entire video off of curiosity. c:
haha made it look super easy, thinkin about gettin a honda and if i do ima try this
Nice clean engine bay! That's a good thing. Damn, Honda left a lot of extra room in that engine bay...you could fit a whole other engine in there!
Nice job. Would you tell us how did you do with the brake system? I mean, how do you feed vacuum to the brake booster after raising the pressure in the intake manifold
What brand piston did you use? Love the videos man great stuff id love to see the build on the awd civic lol
He mentions that he used cast Vitara pistons.
yeah my current set up is around 510 at the wheels , this set up was only intended to go to around 450 thats why i used the borgwarner s256 turbo
awesome! thanks for sharing and nice job on the car
good fkn video, very instructional, its actually more help then watching my friends on the spot
What’s the price build for turbo kid, rods pistons, injectors, tuning software and dyno tune???
just started using both videos. I have everything out. going to measure top of block for warping and the cylinder walls before I buy anything
