- Ridiculous Supercharged J Swapped Civic EG Hits the Drag Strip
By Brian Gillespie and Aaron Gaghagen
We slapped a big ol' supercharger that was meant for a Honda Ridgeline on a J32 from an Acura TL and then stuffed that into Hasport's old school Civic EG hatchback. The result is straight up kooky-dooks. The Civic looks like an engine with a car attached to it instead of a car with an engine installed inside of it. We are using the new Hondata J swap ECU. After a couple more modifications we go to Import Face-Off to see what it'll do in the quarter mile. It's only been like 15 years since Brian has gone drag racing. This should go well.

I think he designed it in his sleep. 😂 he was dreaming when he thought it might fit under the hood. 😮
@@geniferteal4178that don't fit under the hood, so some of the hood needs to go.
@johnsineni Actually it's the super charger that caught my eye. all these turbos lately. I think the supercharges are becoming forgotten. For the street though I like the idea of turning up or down the boost so easily.
"and if i blow it up, i don't care. It's a $300 engine." THIS is why J series is slept on....
lol where can i get a j for 300..
@@Azzen234lol fr probably at the junk yard after its blown up 😂😂
“So much torque the chassis twisted coming off the line”
I’ve never driven her. Scares the sh-t outta me.😂😂😂

Underrated comment
If your gonna use the quote, commenting on a Honda video, please use the quote with accuracy. The exact quote is “so much torque, the chassis twisted coming off the line” 😂❤
@@MrSagerific95 thanks. Corrected it lol.
Now me and the mad scientist are gonna get back to replacing some deep fried piston rings
Saw this go down the track at IFO last weekend. Such a clean run!
That's what's up!
Awesome build, saw this at IFO, Brian is a great guy and a legend 🫡🫡
Yeah I was the one that was driving it Brian is so cool I love that dude! After I drove it Brian just gave me the car🎉
All this J series content definitely has me thinking about my old 2001 cl type S. A set of headers and a comptech intake really made that engine roar. Keep up the good work vtec academy!
I can imagine how glorious she sounded! I had one too, soo much fun. Howled at the moon every chance she got!!
Made me want to put my cls back on the road also
PFI sprays Hairspray on supercharger belts when on the Dyno..lol
Maybe we need to try that! Good idea.
A heavy wonderful thought for all the VTEC Academy friends. It just hit my Dad and I. Soichiro Honda, the founder of Honda, would be truly so proud of Brian and the team at VTEC Academy. In the honour and traditions of Japanese culture and philosophies, Mr. Honda, who has said, " "Racing improves the. breed." and " “I think best when I have a wrench in my hands.”", would welcome Brian and the team into his home. But then after tea, they'd all hang out in the garage. And that is as cool as it can gets.
that civic is wild good luck getting into the 10's Brian👍
It sure is. It looks like nothing else out there right now. Hopefully it doesn’t cost us a belt every run!
I'm a Chevy guy but that Honda definitely got my attention! Sweet build.
"Whats in it??"
"Ahhh just a d series"
You need a heat exchanger looks like you are having high iats
Yea whats the deal with the cooling? Is that a cooling block below the S/C or just a mount? You can add an air-to-water heat exchanger in the path of the S/C into the motor and cool that coolant with a seperate low-Temp pressurized coolant system. Could be getting hotter and hotter IATs which blows hot air and causes knock, and the ECU having to pull timing, etc..
2:45 Guys, this certainly doesn’t look like a J32! That style of exhaust post is the second style of single port Honda used on the J series. The one that came on the 04-08 TL is different. That engine is likely a J35 or J37. Also, the “J32” stamped on the block doesn’t have the correct spacing. Looks like as if someone used to race this car and swapped a different engine but stamped J32 on it to trick people.
I have a j35y1
17:35 Smoked Deadbeat Garages Blazer 😮
thermal soak . needs air to water inter-cooler to fix problem
That's one theory. When we get it tuned again, we will see if the the boost is falling off still.
This is what I was thinking. Heat soak is a MF.
Hey i see deadbeats blazer on the right side!
Is that Brian Gillespie from Hasport?
I always really love the science behind your videos. I also love that you decided to use a smaller belt, which would allow you to put pressure on the pulley, stopping the slippage..
J series are underappreciated. Had a j30 Accord 6 spd coupe for years and it was always fun and quick for what it was.
Totally, plus I sounds better than a VQ.
I’m trying to find one to replace my odyssey soon. I’d love to put a j32 or j35 in one
@@VTECAcademyokay hear me out from the land down under.. j series rd7 crv
I had the same car but a 4 door. I was FBO and it was a quick car. It consistently ran 82-83mph in the 1/8th.
@@Theredeemedchild2rundown on the brands you went with if you remember or the order you went for torque gains !
So much torque is all over the place runing 11 second on the first rung that's pretty damm good great content
I’m new around here , is it staying fwd ? ,great content btw 🤙greetings from Toronto 🇨🇦
Yes it is! Welcome aboard! We will get into the 10s.
Love the creativity smashing that 6 cylinder acura engine in there lmao keep up the good work boys love to see it
Super cool guys, love the racing content
Glad you enjoyed it! It is such a brick. 😂
Ive always wanted to do a j32 supercharged in a 2nd gen mr2
Yes to the nitrous bottles and yes to the J series sounding good.
Be amazing to see a collaboration with pfi. Both have so much honda knowledge the build would be epic
18:48 You can hear some minor breaking up(?) happening in the later pulls - almost sounds like making popcorn in a pot.
Maybe a fueling issue? I certainly don't have nearly as much experience as some of the people here, but the engine sounds ... off to me.
Brian you should hit up lht performance on they're griptec super charger pulleys and see if they have something for you. my Jackson supercharger wasn't slipping to my knowledge I bought the pulley just to try and everyone that was using a Jackson racing supercharger charger all were boosting slightly apart from each other and I picked up boost consistently back to back and was the same diameter pulley as well
Enjoying the j series right now have j35y4 myself love to get my boosted
I wish I could have gone to this with Roy watching this it looks so fun
During the last run it did not sound very smooth, almost like it was threatening to break up. Hope you can get it fixed and run 10s!
Thanks! We will get there. Still it’s very promising after the first visit to the strip.
That sounds rowdy!
Gotta love the J-series content can’t wait for more! 🤙
Damn that thing SUPER McNASTY! I love it!
Awd would be nice but I still love it
I spotted rug-head from Deadbeat Garage 😂
That thing actually sounds reeeally good with that exhaust.
Love the project!!!
Please put on a bigger Throttle Body and make that intake to the TB shorter.
Just measure the pressure between the TB and the rotors of the charger and you will see the difference.
Make sure the inlet surface area of the charger is smaller or the same as the throttle body. Otherwise you will have a restriction.
Any tensioner on the pulling side will not work, you will always have belt slippage.
Otherwise go to an 8 or 10 grooved setup.
Good stuff Brian
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching.
12hr drive to Brent and Jamie at PFI,the best guys to get the best tune.
Great project!
Just went to the track and there was a j swapped crx and it didn’t stick out of the hood like that ,ran 9 sec very clean
That torque steer is scary
Reminds me of the old school hot rods
Holy crap that's freaking sweet! Bravo🤙🤙
Good, stuff, goiing on a whim here, but it sounded like it started to miss fire the last 2 runs, most likely it's spark gap. but it could be many things best of luck figuring it out!
Thank you! We’ll get it sorted sooner or later. We just dynoed it again this week and found some things to address.

I love the custom license plate number. 😁
thats allot of work when PFI and Boosted Boys have 4 that are over 1,000 hp
but its cool looking
nice. i wanted to see a run, but kept missing them
"200 to 300 Yards where I couldn't get into 5th gear. "
Very cool. I’d set up launch control and much In first gear. That thing definitely has a 10 pass in in it

brother
spray some cosby sauce brotherrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Saw you at the Honda/Acura meet!!!! I wanna know what youre currently running so I can replicate this
Im not sure about the intake. It looks kind of goofy, but it would be a good place to put a water injection system. It would be cool to see it long striding a 3.7.
Hello great work I have 94 civic with turbo b18c I always wondered about starting in second gear because first spins no matter what I do what is your thoughts it’s gsr trans as well
You can try but you’re probably going to bog or roast the clutch, you need better tires and stiffer rear suspension to limit weight transfer and then start adding weight on the front bumper sometimes takes up to 150lbs to get them to stick
The engine sat a long time so no surprise it’s smoking. I didn’t see anyone even try to put any lubricant in the bores and turn it by hand. You shouldn’t just fire up any engine that sits without putting at least a little lubricant in the bores to keep the rings from wiping out.
Surface rust always builds on the walls when an engine sits cause some valves are open.
Is that the same intake I made you @ AEM back in the day? RIP JC!
I need a set of Lenzo skinnies sooo bad
Sounds good,I heard it doing pulls ,through the wall...lol
*_, Damn, It sucks that they went out of business._*
Why does it look like two superchargers stacked on top of each other? I don’t remember a J-series intake manifold looking like that.
For emissions It has to comply to the more strict standard. The standard of the engine!
What an amazing mod
Thanks for watching!
I need this supercharger on my Ridgeline 😂
This monster looks ridiculous and phenomenal!👌🏻
Man love this video ,Ive been saying ppl sleep on jseries! Watch alot of ppl jump ship to j series..
"Oh heck yeah! Civic with nitrous would be even more crazier ... This build better be at the next sema!*
Maybe needs a smaller pulley. That roots blower should be boosting around 2700.
Do water methanol injection
The supercharger may be getting heat soaked which could why its getting slower and slower.
A stock k24a2 with cams and an oil pump kit is faster in the quarter mile. hard to believe
Did you find out the reason for it going slower? This car is awesome. How is it with the new exhaust system?
I said 375 the last video you guys made asking us to guess the horsepower glad I was close 🎉
Yeah, after we tightened the belt down it had to be making close to that.
@@VTECAcademy sweet can't wait to see it
That J32 sounds like a baby Ferrari. And my goodness does that thing really seem fast.
I absolutely love your channel everything you guys do is super cool I have a lot of friends that are into Hondas I brag about how you can cram a j35 into a freaking 2006 and up Civic, that is on my bucket list. However I'm curious to see why you went with the Mad Max double supercharger look personally it doesn't make sense to me if you can't see you can't drive. That was the problem with the one in the movie if you watch the behind the scenes they said they couldn't see anything on the other side of the car. My solution would be to remove the power steering pump relocate it to a completely different area use the V of the engine to put a 2006 or newer M90 or m122 supercharger in the v and it might even clear the hood who knows plus running a 2.5 inch pulley would definitely get you into the 450 horsepower range. There is a channel by the name of Richard holder on TH-cam he's done all kinds of freaking tests on the superchargers and he's amazing as well he's an old dude with tons and tons of knowledge I love his channel as well. Thank you for all the hard work you do you guys are knocking it out of the park.
It reminds me of toretto's Charger or was it a Challenger..on fast and the furious pt.1 but an import version.. I so want to do!!! this
It sounds so darn good!!!
So that's why you didn't put the J-series into the CR-Z @VTEC Academy
AWESOME RUNS!!!
That's amongus mount is super sus Brian 11:25 😧
OEM plus build
🤞🙏 for some ridgeline content...
HI BRIAN! 👋🏻
I had a ef kinda like this wasnt supercharged but it was j35 swapped with the TSX 6 speed
Tims good. Best in Tempe
Curios to see how this project holds up. I’m looking to do something like this on my accord
Nice! There are a couple of different supercharger options for the J.
@@VTECAcademy I’m currently trying to find a M90 in decent condition and using Prankparts adapter for it. Hopefully the supercharger doesn’t stick out as much as it does on the EG. 😂
Nice more racing content 🔥🤙🏽
I love it but dang looks to heavy I'm good with my fully built single making 360 hp
Mount it on the back, rwd baby
Your putting 10 lbs in a 5 lbs sack.. 🍻
Tim tuned it! Thats the whole problem
Your like the marvels universe creator of the Honda game
oh these guys are local in Az.
Wish like hell Hondata would support 1st Gen J series...would make things so much easier for modern tuning on my CLS6..Really dont wanna use AEM and costs alot more to go with a better, more modern tuning software on 1st Gen Js. 😢
Need to know if the money that spent on that superchargers was put in the motor and was on the bottle would it be faster and lighter?
how do get my car fixed by the vtec academy gods 😢 i need my daily back
Someone catch that smoke and put it back in the bottle!
I want all the V8 owners to watched this and get SCHOOLED.....
Love the license plate…😂
this car reminds me of the indian guy in the maxima vs. the porsche
