- Come for a ride in my 2007 Honda civic Si Turbo, thanks for stopping by the channel and hit subscribe if you like this type of content! #honda #hondacivic #turbo #1320video #civicsi #tuning #mechanic #automobile
The fact that nobody in this comment section has mentioned that you’re the OG owner! I’m 27 and ive owned my red FA5 for 3 years now and it breaks necks regularly whenever it’s not in storage. Keep up the good work brotha! Our cars are the last true k20’s🔥 💯 💔
Hell yeah man! I appreciate that!
Loved my turbo coupe for a fun daily. Subscribed!
Thanks man! It’s certainly a blast and unsuspecting to most! I’ll check your channel out!
Ya know I knew that name looked familiar, I subbed and watched a lot of your videos on FB groups. I believe I may of saw the new owners brought it to Racealotgarages channel.
Do you like the current si? I’m looking at a used 23 but it’s at a ford dealership and they overpriced it since I can buy a 24 with zero miles for less than they are asking.
The new Si looks to be a great car! For me personally I like the K series motors. The K series is very easy to work on and can hold a lot of power. I will say the new 11th gen civic looks really nice compared to the 10th gen.
What part of CT are you from? I really need myself a 8/9th gen si turbocharged 😫
Just kept watching the video and I know that Manchester area on i84 lol
@@Revivablebuilds haha yeah I live just outside of Hartford! Yeah they are a blast to drive
how did you learn to tune your ECU?
@@firefrog101 a lot of internet searching with trial and error. Also being around knowledgeable people. Tuned couple different turbo setups on my car and have done some ETunes helping a few guys but mostly tune my own stuff. Feel free to ask any questions if need be. Thanks for being here!
@@LouieLouGarage88 Nice, thanks for showing off your SI, I have the same car with 160K miles on it and would like to add a turbo. I know about Hondata being the main tuner route.
@@firefrog101 yes Hondata is a great choice that most tuners are familiar with! I wouldn’t worry too much about mileage but more about the health of engine. Compression test it and go from there.
I want to buy my first big project and I’ve been looking at a lot of videos of 8th gen civics and this seems to convince me more 💯
@@Justanormalkidd99 you won’t regret it! They are a blast to drive! Thanks for watching!
What did you rebuild the trnamission with? Searching for good quality options
@@lumbearjack3722 I used OEM everything because big boy gears aren’t in my budget at the moment and I don’t mind doing the work if I break a gear here or there. GearX , M factory , Albins and PPG are some of the popular companies that make gear sets. Hope this helps.
ran r888’s on my turbo fg2, they hooked from 60 but anything under they needed to be warmed up beforehand in my experience
Yeah im thinking thats the next tire i go with, these federal 595 RsRR are okay but spin bad on a 60 roll warmed up in the middle of summer. Thanks for commenting! What are you driving now?
Lets see more pulls
Way to go wife! that’s sign is cool. I’m a V8 stick shift person, but I can appreciate the passion. Watch out for coyotes while driving in Mexico!
Thanks for checking the video out! Thats awesome, i love me a good V8! My heart is with Hondas but love checking out what others build! Waiting for Abbys next video! Thanks again!
Pulling the whole engine out is not faster than just dropping the subframe cradle! None the less, love my FA5 too.
Yeah FA5 are nice! I would like one in the future, easier with kids... When i blew 4th gear and knew i had to do a rebuild on the trans i decided to pull it with the engine knowing i wanted to do a few things with it all out. Your rite just the trans is prolly quicker on its own out the bottom. Thanks for commenting. Nice CRX!!
Yeah, man for sure and thanks I no longer have the CRX though! kudos to you man for having that Civic for so many years that shit is unheard of now and days!👍🏽 can’t wait to eventually boost my Civic
Thanks man I appreciate that! You wont regret it after turbo but NA is fun also!@@hecks_b_rex
open dump or recirculated?
@@CDEEZFA5 44mm gate, open dump
Pulling it with the engine is so much easier. I swear Honda engineers are some real assholes LOL
Your not kidding lol
What turbo kit did you go with ?
@@three9s4life I don’t have a kit I pieced mine together with some fab work. Boostjunkyz manifold, 44mm tail gate, VSracing 6262 turbo , 3inch exhaust. With other supporting mods for the turbo.
Nice car! I use RE-71R for tires and they hook really good! Mine is supercharged tho so less power than you so i dont know how well your car would hook!
Thanks man! Supercharged Si is still just as fun! A friend of mine has one and it rips! Im going to sub to your channel as well! Your civic looks sweet ill check some videos out!
@@LouieLouGarage88 thanks man i appreciate it! Quick question if you have the time, i plan on turboing it in the next year or two, you clearly know more than i do, do you think i can just swap the supercharger with a turbo with all the mods i have, get a good tune and im good or i need supporting mods? Theres a video on my channel « supercharged k20 » where all my mods are listed! Maybe you can help me if you have the time! Thanks
@@LouieLouGarage88 i dont think id go with a bigger turbo like you tho, maybe a bit smaller
Yes im always willing to lend a hand. Its a little more involved then just swapping them but assuming you have hondata, injectors, fuel pump and clutch your close. I will check out your video where you list what you have.I did look at a few quick videos and your car sounds awesome!@@SuperchargedFG2
@@LouieLouGarage88 thanks a lot for your help man!
Good job 🔥 👌 👍
Thank you!
Yeah those turbo sounds never get old. I just recently installed a turbo kit on my 9th gen si. I’ve been having a blast the turbo was will worth it!
@@kingmendez8097 most definitely!! Such a blast to drive! I’m itching to drive it. Thanks for being here and watching!
Yeah man 4:08 pulling it out from on top is way easier than doing it on your back I pulled my engine 3 times on my fa5 and removing the front end makes engine and transmission jobs easier
@@splits_the_wtr622 I agree, it was much much easier from the top!
nice video bro , thnku for the info
Im working in my civic 8th generation
turbo
suspension
tires
cambers
Nice! They are a blast to drive, goodluck with the build!!
thank you
Just subscribed can’t wait for more si content 💯
thanks man!
what turbo Kit is that! can you send link?
I didn’t buy a kit I pieced mine together. Cx racing has a budget friendly kit also there’s a guy Blackphil built that has a budget friendly kit for 8th gen civics.
Hey man nice vid, Im going to need to rebuild my tranny soon on my fg2 i was wondering if it’s challenging at all rebuilding or is it straight forward
Thanks man! Appreciate that! It depends on how mechanically inclined you are. I did buy a shop press to help me because some of the gears need to be pressed on and off. You can get away without using a press but its sketchy. I would say its more on the challenging side cause of everything involved and the amount of steps but not crazy difficult.
@@LouieLouGarage88 oh ok gotcha Mechanically I have a pretty good understanding I built my engine top to bottem ive just never opened up a transmission, aside from the shop press was there any other special tools machinery needed?
Depends on what your replacing. if your replacing the mainshaft you should measure your thrust clearance with the new main shaft. You would need a Dial indicator and a mainshaft thrust block tool in order to do that. @@fg2lou278
Crazy iv never seen your car around town before, just picked up a 08 si hope i see ya drivin around
Nice! Congrats on the new ride! Feel free to say hello!
@@LouieLouGarage88 thankyou man just getting her buttoned up and back to stock for the most part im new to the platform
@@DustyDunies Nice! These cars are incredible stock form or modded. Either way you will enjoy it
How much hp you got
Hoping to get this setup on the dyno this year, nice civic! Color is awesome! thanks for commenting
Wat kid turbo kit
Boostjunkyz manifold and the rest was custom to fit that.
@@LouieLouGarage88 can you give me the site so I can get me one I really appreciate it
