Vtec On.
People who hate on Civics either never drove one or got bad influence from some so called "car enthusiast". Any real car enthusiast appreciate all brands and makes, but it's whatever from this point lol.
Agreed... Forget those people though, they will always have a negative outlook on civic's.
It’s not the cars bud it’s the majority of the owners. At least in my area most of the Honda owners are stock with an exhaust sitting bouncing their cars off the rev limiter ruining meets talking shit about everyone else makes the brand look bad.
Out of the Blue I told my son I was getting a 9th Gen Honda Civic Si Coupe, he said why do you want that? Get a rear wheel drive car. I said you get a rear wheel drive car, I like Honda. I bought him a Nissan 300 ZX, after his first winter in OH and gobs of money spent in gas, he said I think my next car is going to be a Honda Dad. There you have it!
i have always said the same thing... anyone who loves cars would love and appreciate anything... no matter what it is
9th gens are comfortable and i like the body style on the coupe an sedan but lets be honest its missing that vtec on the exhaust side
It's the opposite on the Civic Type R/Accord 2.0T(k20C), vtec on the exhaust and the turbo on the intake side.
Until you head swap!
if you do the RBC manifold swap its like night and day for VTEC crossover
plus this dudes 9th gen is the worst one the 14-15 is the 9th gen to get
lmao.. swapping the head does add vtec on the exhaust side.
Do you think this guy likes Honda?
Not at all ;)
I think the refinement of the 9th gen is definitely better and the extra torque for city and whatnot. But when it comes to being raw and racy, the 8th gen definitely wins. With bolt-ons the vtec crossover is just insanely addicting lol
8th gen is definitely more for racing, 8k, light, etc. It really is though lol
8th gen for me still : )
I agree. I got a fa👋 myself. My K screams...
Same here 09 FA5 miss it so much
I really don’t know jack about Honda’s but I’ve been so happy with my fg1 ever since I’ve bought and very intrigued on modding it
I’m a lifelong Honda/Acura driver, but this dude a walking advertisement. Lol. Decent setup for sure
He a true honda fan
9th Gen owner here, came from a fbo RSX Type S. I loved my rex, but honestly i prefer the torque of my 9th. As far as the top end power you can somewhat remedy that by just swapping in the RBC intake manifold & raise the redline higher (8 grand max). Or if you have the money you can swap the head & easily put down power while all motor.
True that! That's what i'm saying. If i had a 9th, I'd RBC mani swap + Tune it to 8k tops, even 7800 would be straight.
Gerb Productions For real man, some of these 8th gen guys forget that the 9th gen is still a Honda, there’s still aftermarket parts out for these cars, even if the head is still a bit more restricted i’ve seen these put down 220+ whp on the dyno while fbo. Swap the head & you’ll get a unique but awesome sounding VTEC crossover & you’ll make good power too. There’s also the option of going forced induction which these motors will handle just fine.
Very good points bro. Love both of the gens ;)
I owned 2004 RSX Type S with the K20 and loved it... got a 2012 Si Sedan and the K24 just destroys de K20... low end Torque, plenty of high end power and has so much potential if properly modded. I even have mine 100% stock and still destroyed the RSX-S with no effort....
Stock for stock my k24 put bus lengths on a stock '02 rsx-s, it was someone i worked with so every day on the ride home we'd race and every day it was the same outcome.
That Honda Tech yup, the low end torque of the K24 provides that hard pull to smoke the Type S or any other K20 (stock). Also, the earlier vtec engagement opens it up quicker...
Im happy with my 8th gen!!! Can't complain i have 230k on original motor/transmission and still pulling strong so i love it no tps sensor either
Holy hellll... I think that’s the highest mileage 8th gen I’ve heard of yet. Any mods?
The same day I got my fa5...I test drove a fb6 but I love the fa5 more...that redline tho
If anyone is wondering where he got most of his parts, well guess what EBAY lol. And no i aint talking shit. I get alot of my stuff from ebay, great stuff and good prices.
Was great meeting both of you. Your both are 2 great and humble people. The car scene is honored to have you both
Haha thanks bro. It was good meeting you
Same here... My car is built on mostly ebay stuff. Could careless what people think. We met at Hday right? Which one were you again, fill me in haha. I'm glad you see that man, we appreciate the community and what we have
Hated Japanese so much then gets into Honda game and get a tattoo of it on his arm 😂💀
guy is definitely a dweeb. honda hat, honda shirt, honda socks, ebay everything. next year you wil see him on craigslist "2012 bolt on SI for sale or trade for 4x4 truck or jeep."
Would you look at that. 2 fan boys showed up already trolling on the internet. This is why Hondas get so much hate. Bet you won't say a word to his face. Leave the guy alone. How you gonna talk shit on some one you've never met. 2 d-bags at there finest
Everyone will have different opinions all the time, all good. Don't judge a book by its cover. Brandon is the man, trust
He already has a Jeep
The Honda motorcycle logo too
Gerb has a lot of appreciation for life.
Appreciate every moment that i can, especially with Honda's ;)
8th for me but 9th gens are still cool😂😭
9th gen coupes all day
Fg4 💪🏼
9th gen sedan looks way better than the coupe.
@@brandonbohon4921 no.lol.
Depends on what you prefer but the sedan has the sleeper look which is why i got it. Plus it's only like 20lbs heavier than the coupe and the two doors is nice when you have passengers. Where I live it's cheaper insurance for the sedan which is another bonus, that's dependent on your insurance provider and location though.
Before i bought my 2012 FB6, I was looking at a 2010 FG2. I fell in love with the FB6 more. I like the styling, the comfort, and especially the k24. The torque on the lower end made a huge difference for me(helps tremendously during city driving).
Agreed 100%... It was cool to get the feel from the 9th gen.. Now ik why everyone upgrades to them
i have a 2012 Si right now and i love it... i had a 2002 RSX-S for 10 years also loved that... but their are a lot of things i really like more about my 2012... i have not done anything to my Si just kept it stock so far... other the cosmetic stuff... i did upgrades like intake exhaust header and all that on my RSX-S and it was awesome.... but i just dont have that need anymore to drive fast and stuff... so i have not really looked into getting intake or exhaust.... maybe one day but i really enjoy it just stock and nice looking
Sedan? I just got a 2012 si sedan idk what mods to do
@@liampd5627 yeah i have the 4 door sedan i just did a K-Tune CMC and Slave kit install... i recommend that FOR SURE!!! it was easy to change... and the clutch / shifting feels soooo smooth and there is no more grinding if you shift to fast because the stock CMC is garbage and delays the fluid inside which causes you to grind gears if you shift to fast... also acuity shifter bushings are really nice too i added those on when i did the CMC/Slave kit and the shifting is even more smooth now too with the bushing.... also a Siri Moto Short Shifter kit is very nice also... those are basically the only things i have done to the car so far.... anything else like intake... exhaust all that crap you need a Hondata Flash pro in order for it to benefit your car other wise you install that crap and the car will more then likely run like crap because its not tuned to run with those parts... so i recommend if you wanna do performance parts i would First get a HONDATA Flash pro.... and then work on intake exhaust all that crap... but if you wanna just add stuff that will make the over all feel of the car better when driving / shifting... i would pick up those things i said up above they are FOR SURE worth it!!! and easy as all hell to install
@@dirtygerty577 Thank you my friend 🙏🏿
The 9th probably feels faster at start but up top I think the 8th is better sucks. Only way to have both. Definitely like the dash and the meter tho. I mean can't go wrong with either . But gerb I know u was missing that's VTEC .. lol don't lie bro u know u missed that 8.5 k revvvvvv.. u know u miss that 4-5 k shift to make it drive right. U miss it. Gerb bro ??? U miss it don't forget that.. lol
I have owned the type s 9th gen and now i have the 8th gen. i would have to say they are all fun to drive but k20 parts are easier to find and k24 bottom blocks are everywhere for cheap now but 9th gens are faster stock wise.
no they are not 8th gen bone stock will beat a bone stock 9th gen
How do you like the 8th gen compared to the dc5?
@@chrisyang3824 If i had to pick id say i like the little extra power the z3 has but so far the 8th gen feels a little more heavier than the dc5. The dc5 rear subframe is alot sexier tho with all the lca and sub frame brace parts.
well they are not the same weight that is false.. and i have owned a 2015 si coupe an raced many stock 8th gens and they def pull harder and will put a car length or two on a 9th gen Ive owned them all the the 10th si the 9th and the 8th and a 6th so idk what you are talking about
dc5 is missing a limited slip diff
Sorry to say but no cams for the k24z7 well not yet for that matter.
I own a FB6 now and love it I drove a fa5 and like it too but the 9th gen is much faster in high end
I feel the vybe of the k20 everytime u upload keep stuff i will be part of the team soon maybe
9th gen family stand up!!!!!
I'm standing up with my invisible 9th gen lol
@@TheGerbsteve imagin u get a fb6 and keep your coupe have a 8th and 9th gen coupe and sedan that be sick
Indeed it would. Once i get my funds up bro ;)
Boosted fg2, N/A 9th gen ;)
@@TheGerbsteve nice man, to bad your across the country we could have a giant meet up.
9th gen all the way
Fb6 Vue 8th gen all day Ethan 😏😏
9th gen I like torqe
The k24z7 feels better driving around town and those brave/risky/irresponsible moments when you dart between traffic. But can't beat revving out and sending a k20a.
9th gen Si Rule try a 2015 one you will love it.
I want to drive another one 👍🏼
I got a sedan 🤩 2015 3” cat pack exhaust and a skunk 2 cold air intake, car is where it’s at 🤩
Very nice car but your Si with k20 sounds 10 times better, no offence to the 9th owner.
Aou Celloutus 8 gen sounds rice 9 gen got 2.4 Acura engine sounds more mature a deep
said no one ever
Rice with ebay fart cans
Yea 9th gens needs a rbc and it will have that k20 scream
But don’t the 9th Gens lack i-VTEC on the Exhaust side?
Yes. I-vtec on intake and they use the integrated downpipe on the exhaust
Do you have a stock clutch master cylinder? if not which one do you have. I'm trying to make my shifts smoother, but for some reason I feel like the stock master cylinder has a shift delay? Thanks!
They both have ktuned clutch master and slave cylinder kit. Acuity shift bushing too. Makes huge diff in shift feel
@@quadracer8874 ok thanks!
K tuned CMC, oem slave, valet stainless steel clutch line, acuity base/shifter bushings.

8th gen all day everyday! 😎 Thats where it’s at Gerbie!
Damn bro that was one loud crossover for a K24! Dudes FB6 was fresh. Yo I was talking to you on instagram bro and this is the kinda video I wanted to do with you win my FG1 if you ever come back down from CT again.
We will set it up if i come back down bro. His 9th gen was definitely one of my favorite cars to drive so far.
Great the gen 9 my 2006 8 gen it’s really cool with a K24-A2 bottom and a K20-A2 head,it’s super fast.Regardless I like all si gens.
So are you saying buy a 9th or swap my 8th gen with a Frankenstein?
8th exterior 9th interior and drive train
I’ve been in a few 9th gens but with hondata in the 8th Gen anything above 4.5 k is just much more aggressive
it sounds better too. though it doesn't really pull harder, it's just the the more aggressive crossover giving it the impression that it pulls harder while the k24 is more linear .
7:57
that roll kinda lacks top end.
dont lie.
RBC swap 😏
I have 8th gen but like the style of the 9th gen. Don't get me wrong I love both styles. If I had the money at the time I would have bought the 9th gen. Honestly I didnt knew they existed until 2 weeks after I bought my 8th gen. One pulled up next to me at a light.🤔🤔😐😐🙂🙂 Love your videos as always Gerb...🔥🔥👊👊
Eugene Cody did you’ll race
Agreed! I probs would've went 9th as well if i had the money. I do like the 8th gen on the highway though, high redline runs lol ;)... Thanks for the support my guy
strong no I should have...👍👊😉🙂
In 2013 I was living in Puerto Rico, I was 18 years old at the time and went to a Mitsubishi dealership and took a brand new Mitsubishi Lancer Gts 2014 stick, man what a car I went to a dyno a couple months after and the car make 156 hp a 150 tq 2.4 engine 4b12, I paid 500$ and reflash the ecu and the power went up to 185hp and 180tq and that was impressive for a Lancer and one day I race with a 07 civic si sedan stock and that fucking car star pulling when vtec kicks in and I was so impressed with the engine that I bought my first k20 car 2 years later an Acura Rsx Type S k20 z1 and the first thing that I do was go to a muffler shop here in Puerto Rico and make a 3 inch catless downpipe exhaust with a vibrant 3 inch and that was it and fuck man the car transform to a monster only with that unfortunately I sold the car because I was going to have a baby 👶 and thing change and I bought an Acura TSX 07 at the time know I’m living In Pennsylvania and I have the opportunity to buy another k series car but am not sure if buy a 8th gen civic si or a 14 -15 civic si, I like the looks of the 14 - 15 with the red interior but one thing that I heard is that vtec is not the same anymore, top end and transmission is a trash but I don’t know if the true and about the vtec I don’t know if that something that you gonna regret because I’m addicted to hear 👂 and feels the vtec kick I can buy the car only to feel the kick of vtec lol is so addictive 😂
Driving three 8th gen k20's before i bought mine sold me on them. I fell in love with the tranny, vtec, redline. Told myself i want one so bad & sure as shit, here i am, two years later ripping an 8th ;)... Type s's are sick man. I was looking into them before i bought my 07 Si, but i couldn't find any stock. Besides, i love the 8th gen looks + interior. The bolt ons you add to the K series are absolutely worth every dollar because they respond sooooo well for an n/a car. I will tell you this, i driven both. I prefer the tq of the 9th, but highway ripping is so much nicer in an 8th. It comes down to personal preference, looks/performance, etc. I'd say test drive both and then make you decision. I will say, the z3 makes better power > the z7 due to the high flowing head, vtec on both, instead of just having it on one side. Can't go wrong with a k24a2 from a tsx as well, they move. The vtec kick in the 8th is wayyyy more aggressive in the 8th > 9th. Hope this helps in a way ;)
Gerb Productions Thanks man💪🏻 I would do that to decide, I have to drive both to see what am going to do I’m going to let you know my decision peace ✌🏻
I finally bought one I decide to buy the 8th gen and I found it for a Real good price I bought it for 4,700 on a dealership in PA is a sedan 2010 with 137,000 miles has Hondata already, intake, straight pipe, coilovers, front lip, rear lip muggen, side skirt, jdm headlights, short shifter and a rear bar in a really really good condition is very clean and nice I can’t believe I found one si cheap in those condition am very happy
I still prefer the K20 response and sound better than any k24. Test drove one new in 2012 si sedan before we got the 2013 ex, though would probably do TSX 6speed for a more sleeper look.
JAY D3E to me k24 sounds more mean K20Z3 sounds like rice
I need those blue lights. Any chance you could find out where i might get them for my 9th gen
I believe he got them on ebay.
So is the 8th gen more desirable than the 9th gen because of the 8k red line?
I own a 9th gen si Coupe, it's great for daily driving and while I love it, I've driven my friend's 8th gen si coupe, and I like the character of the k20 ALOT better than the k24z7. The missing vtec cam on the exhaust side of the k24z7 is a real bummer, and while our integrated head setup is better for boost, the k20 is better for NA. Just my 2 cents.
At the end of the day, I wish I got a 4dr 8th gen Si instead..
The 8th gen k20 definitely feels more of a race oriented Si with its high redline, true vtec, 8k rpms redline. Idk for me, I liked the 9th. Maybe I just like the torque a lot more? I hate how you have to rev the hell out of the k20 to make power, ya know? I hear you though, that makes since. No wayyy, he wishes he bought an Fa5 lol
@@TheGerbsteve that's the intoxicating part about the k20! Power up top! When I drove my friend's 8th Gen si with just a cold air intake, I knew the vtec was gonna kick in but I didn't expect it to kick that hard. I agree with you on the k24 though, there's a lot more torque around 3-4k. I think it all comes down to what you want/prefer/feel when driving. Mid range torque to sacrifice 1k rpm redline, or making most of your power in the upper rpm. And I know you can just take a k20z3 head and put it on the k24z7 so you can have vtec on the exhaust cam, but it's not cost efficient.
With you saying the differences are slight... then i say 8th gen all the way.. revs, sounds better and loves boost more
Just put the k24 in the 8th gen.. boom done
Oh believe me, still buying a k24a2 engine 😎
This aged well
@@BMP414 eyyyyy! One year later he's done it! How's your ride doing man
Doing well! Only had my 9th gen for a couple months now and I’m absolutely in love w it
@@BMP414 that's what's up man glad u love it.. I got something's finally going down myself.. $$$$
Where's the race video bro? Need to get on that. 8th gen vs 9th. You guys both have hondata and similar mods. Let's do this. 8th gen all day bro.
Bro, Midnight is retired from racing lol
Dude, Gerb! I missed this video! You driving a 9th gen. That’s what I wanted to see.
9th gen all day!!!
I wouldn't mind owning one ;)
@@TheGerbsteve I wouldn't mind a fa5 but put 9th gen interior in it. Not a fan of 8th gen interior
Went from a fg2 to my fb6. Defiantly miss the vtec crossover. ,... but the 9th is far more superior especially interior wise
Nick Griffin interior doesn’t change driving experience broskie! By far 9th gen interior is a lot nicer but overall car performance in a 8th gen is better hands down! Vtec bangin is insane
IvannCastro till u blow your motor lol
von strong lmao fuk yeah that’s what it’s about what’s the point! Let that shit Ripps the streets!
lmao, You a savage
Gerb Productions long as I keep her maintained she wouldn’t blow out on me! 👍
Go for the 2013 Si sedan. Probably decently priced now.. Has that same interior layout as the 2012 you were in, but with that soft touch/pleather honda upgrade 👍
Either 12 or 13, but idk if i like the fb6 or fg4 more. We shall see in the future what i do ;)
K20 all the way!!!
The one thing about 9th gens is the rev hang is pretty bad with the short gearing. It's especially notable with the stock exhaust. Paint also fades like crazy on these 12-14's. Great cars though.
9th gens are ok but 8th gen is the last true si even the last true type R not to mention 8th gen also got an RR version aswell as the Mugen si it sounds better runs better and its true to honda with high revving engines not to take anything away from the 9th gen I love all hondas I'm a honda guy since day one but its been established that the 8th gen is faster aswell theres alot of videos to prove it I actually made one when mine was stock with my homies stock 9th gen we both been racing for about 15 years we both used same tires tripple 8s yes on stock cars and I won every time now I didnt beat him by several cars best was about one car another by 1 1/2 but he let off early there both great cars but the 8th gen is superior just reminds me of my sir eg with that loud b16 vtec hit which many of us love
Very great points bro. The 8th gen si definitely holds the title for having one of the best top ends.
With tune , Intake and down pipe only the 9th gen will make max around 115 who. You need rbc swap and rdx injectors to hit the 220-230 whp range
Damn, you would think the 9th would put down more, but 215whp is still good for minor bolts + tune.
@@TheGerbsteve its because the design of the intake mani on the 9th. It's made for mid range power and doesn't have much top end. Plus with the integrated head and v-tec only on one side . It robs power. That's why the 9th need an rbc swap and bigger injectors to make the 230- 239 whp range
I hear with RBC you loose tq though? The midrange is awesome on them though, for real
I say both because they are both honestly great cars just the 9th gen pulls a bit more is the slight diff :)
Granny driving lol. He drives it way rougher. Bangs the gears haha, trust me I know. He beat my 06 sti
Honda gearbox’s do not like to be raped like a STI gearbox
Sounds good.. but no vtec cross over. Ewwww. Sound good. That exhaust though dope ass hell..
His exhaust does sound sick. The 9th gen grew on me a lot after driving this one
There is a crossover, just hard to hear cause exhaust is super loud
Either way.. still a Si. music to my ears.
9th gen SI all the way!
I love my 2012 Civic EX 4-door in white. Gas mileage and reliability is so good its sick.
Nothing like good gas + reliability 🤙🏼
I just sold my 2007 8th gen civic si and will be picking up a 9th gen 2012 4 Dr. I'm happy this video was here so I would break free somewhat 8k rpm was my life lol but it is time for a Lil change on for my commute to work and the car market is insane now on prices.
Nothing wrong with a 9th gen.. really don’t know why they get a lot of hate. They have great interior, comfort, and looks. 8k rpm is nice, but even now that I have a k24 engine revving to 7800rpm feels amazing plus all the torque. Good luck with the new ride 🤙🏼
Don’t get a 12 get a 13 14 or 15 the interior on those are worth the upgrade but it’s up too you of course the 14-15 have some suspension updates and I think the steering response was tuned a little different on them as well
What spoiler is that?
#Fb6 k24 🤘🏽💪🏾💪🏾🇵🇷
Sounds like he forgot to turn of traction control.... I catch a hard 3rd in mine
No vtec serge...like b series...my b16a2 cross over is sick in stock form...im going Toda cam v tec killers...coming soon...nice car...good channel Gerb!💪👊
B series do sound nasty. I wanted an em1 Si before i bought my fg2, but couldn't find any stock ones lol. Toda cams are sick, she gonna pull. Thanks for the love bro, means a lot
Hey u gerb u still need a k24 block? A k24a2 is sitting in the yard seen it yesterday?
Eventually yeah... was just gonna get a full k24a2 engine for when the z3 dies 😎
@@TheGerbsteve Its a full motor they said like 200 and something like that i think with a core. Maybe i should save up and pull that motor for the future?
There’s no cams for 9th gens. Makes no power. I had both cars. 8th gen is a better platform.
It seems like that. Way more parts plus the 8th responds better to mods due to the Vtec on intake // exhaust
The convergence has begone brothers, another disciple has turned to the 9th side.
Lol... this comment is great. Honestly love both though. And lets be real, I don't have money for a 9th gen right now
definitely man, I got love for all si's I think each gen has something that makes them great. The 10th gen is okay I guess lol.
You’re like me lol

Honda Fam 🔰✅
9th gens got torque but they don't satisfy my hunger like a k24a2 and vtec crossover.
You think the k24a2 is a better engine than the k24z7? I mean k24a has 3 lobe vtec, dohc.
@@TheGerbsteve k24a and k24a2
So u like to be loud and slow lmao
Tattoo is a bit much...
Vtec ain’t the same though, 8th gen is by far the best vtec in any si.
I agree, but both the 8th and 9th gens feel amazing
9th gen handling especially 2015 is more refined..had 2012 si then 2015..2015 handling is more predictable than the 2012 though..still could use more power and torque as well
I'd grab either a 2013,14, or 15... But right now, i'm happy with my 8th gen si ;)
He needs a rbc mani to complete
Agreed
I drove an 8th Gen and it blew my mind how different it is compared to a 9th Gen.
Really? Which one did you like better and why?
Please respond lol 😂
its just cause its not your car and its different that's why you feel like you like it more. I did like his dash that was on point for the 9th but wish the mph were still red.
I bought the Ktuned one for the CMC it lasted 6 months then it broke. I was offered a replacement. But instead I just went to AutoZone and bought the EM1 2000 Honda CMC. The modded it and just change the piston rod. Looks exactly like the K tuned one but only cost $30. Upgrade with the Dot 4 fluid. Also I think it may have broke sooner than later because of my clutch upgrades. So far no problems
Maybe you just got a bad one.
How's your driving habits? Mine just started squeaking the other day, so we will see what's next lol. That could've been the issue. What upgrades bro?
Just use the k24 bottom end and pair it to the k20 top end.
That's my plan, k24a2 06-08 ;)
Okay, have you driven a low mileage 8th Si? Lol just sayin.....
I haven't
That's messed up bro. You like the 9th more than the 8th? Makes me sad. Hahahaha! Jk jk. It's still a Si so no worries bro. I'm actually leaning towards a Corolla right now bro. Hachiroku to be exact. Been look for 2 months now. The original 86's. I have my eye on one. It's just a matter of time.
Dude, seriously, i think i do. Makes you sad lmao ;)... How much can you pick it up for? You still keeping the Si?
Gerb Productions I'm still keeping the Si I think. Hahahha. I'm looking at a project. It has no motor buts it's a GT-S coupe instead of the liftbacks. It's going for $1500 but the problem is I just need to find the time to go look at it and possibly bring it home.
You think lol???? come onn bro. True, time is always hard to find. LMK how you make out my guy
Gerb Productions the reason why I say I think is because the wifey might not let me keep two cars. LOL!!!! 🤣 I wanna keep it because it's my first car I actually bought by myself and plus I'm the first owner so I want to pass it down to my boys.
I vote keep the Si, but it's your choice at the end of the day bro
i wish i had the 9th gen interior in my 8th gen. As far as raw performance goes though, 8th gen with a 2024 all day lol
I agree 100%... I have yet to drive one, but i'll take your opinion on it. How the power? You get yours on the dyno yet?
power is perfect for the cars weight. makes about 260whp/200wtq. might do a CTE supercharger at some point, but it's great for now!
🔥
It feels like that cause of the little tq gain pushing more weight, your 8th is the way to stay lol, my friend traded his 2002 k20a2 Acura Rsx for a 9th gen si coupe he was getting dragged all day I don’t even recall him winning a race. He ended up trading for a 2017 Honda Accord. Don’t get 9th gens , you will end up quitting and getting a Honda Accord. Lol
I wish the 8th gen had the 9th gen interior lol 😆
Agreed ;)
But I swear the tacho setup and dashboard for the 8th gen is just so satisfying to look at when banging gears
Dude I think you should build a k20/k24 you get the low end tq the k24 has with the high rpm the k20 has. Deff the best of both worlds.
;)
Styling of 9th is better for sure but the 9th definitely needs a k20 head swap
I'm doing a TVS 1900 on my k20 to get close to 450whp/300wtq
My FA5 is FBO with 230whp on a dynojet
9th gen styling is def better. I think it'd be good with just a RBC mani.
Damn! What set up is on your FA5?
@@TheGerbsteve
I've posted my setup on a few of your other vids... the TVS blower is still a little ways off for me as I just moved to Greenville, South Carolina area from Michigan. So I'm in the midst of buying a house, which takes precedence over my FA5 right now. Renting a house now while I look... renting a 4 bedroom house isn't cheap! LoL
Currently though, I'm HR CAI, J35, port matched RBC, Alpha header, FR 3" exhaust, tuned by King Motorsports in Wisconsin. I have a lot of other mods but too many to type.
Now i remember, my bad bro lol... I bet the Carolina's are sweet man. How much you paying for rent on house lol, like $1500-$2k month???
I swear everyone swears by HR CAI, Alpha, And FR 3" haha. Start typing lol jkjk. Definitely a dope set up, would love to get it on the channel one day
@@TheGerbsteve
You're right on it... $1595. And the Carolinas are super nice! The winters are way better than Michigan! Rarely snows here, no road salts, it's great!
I'm was born in East Tennessee so living in the south is not new to me. I moved up north in 1999 and moved back this year, and I'm 43.
9th gen all day errrday
They are pretty badass
Supercharge or turbo your k20
Once i have the funds maybe ;)
9th are better
9th gen
I have the new one 10 gen, but for some raison i still like the 8 gen.
9th generation is indeed faster the top end does not matter if you turbo it just check out the red devil si from brazil. vs our 8th gen however I would not buy the 2012 would do a 14 or 15 the 12 would have bugs in it like the 06 and 07 do. ahhh ans the 8th gens vtec mmm. I want the 9th but I really just want the k24a2 from a tsx or a 2015 to get my torque bam I am happy
True, they say never to buy the car the first year it came out due to flaws. 8th gen vtec will always be my favorite. K24a2 i think performs just as well as the k24z7.
I’m sorry but homie is to “hondaed” out
He is an enthusiast
Weak bro, no v-Tec crossover noise at all. Sounds good but 8th gen k20 all day. I hear what your saying about the interior being refined. I also like the body style a little better. Just want my 8.5 thousand rpm k20 in it. That's the set up right there.
Not weak a built k24 will out run a k20 with same bolt ons ,torque wins every time , better is better
@@tristansmith1409 I'm fully aware of that but the k20 8th gen sounds better and has the vetec cross over alot more aggressive. Just my opinion that the 8th gen is way more fun. 👍
I’m lookin for another 8 gen to take down already beat 3 who my next target Im all stock
Pick me!! Lol
08_FG2 u not stock bra if u was best believe that 8 gen wud been least 1 car behind
@@vonstrong92 You didn't say stock 8th gen tho haha. You just said another 8th gen. I offer myself up as tribute lol. 80 roll....tonight
08_FG2 lol u mean 80 head start lol
08_FG2 were u located at
I beat a 9th gen in my prelude..
And then u woke up huh
@@sosa6986 you apparently dk shit.
@@gtaallday that doesn't answer my question, and then u woke up huh
@@sosa6986 what’s so unbelievable about a prelude beat a civic si? I have a 97 prelude sh, 8th gen supercharged civic si, and a 10th gen accord ex-l v6 6 speed
I'm fuckning with u dude lol great line of cars btw 👍
Try a 10th gen Si, If you think a 9th gen is nice the 10th gen would blow your mind for the cost of bolt ons in either the 8th or 9th gen a 10th gen will make 270 to 290whp.
If I was closer to you, I'd let you review my 18 Type R, only performance mod is Ktuner but it's putting out a claimed 340whp and 365wtq I plan on adding a lot more over the winter. I'm over in NJ though sadly. I came from a 10th gen Si though and only traded it in because I got an amazing deal on the Type R I also still have a 2011 Civic Si but its sitting right now...
You can thank turbo for that ;)...
BRUH, a type R interview would be nasty... Where in Jersey are you, we should set something up. And you still have an 8th gen, damn my guy balling lol
I'm in South Jersey I'm right next to Ft Dix, the 8th gen was a daily while I was in the Army I brought it back with me, it's just sitting now though sadly. I'm down to set something up though
8th Gen all the way!!! Violent!!! 9th Gen... customer service...
I mean, you would know bro haha
8th gen the bosss
how you get that bounce sound @ 6:30
Bounce haha that's funny. It's called 2 step aka launch control. You have to have hondata to do that
wheel offset?
Sry I have no idea. Wheels came on the car
