300-400Whp B16 civic

**Phat999** · 08-02-2008 03:34 PM

Hey all over the next year i am looking to build a pretty quick civic
My power goal is somewhere between 300-400HP at the wheels.
Turbo wise i was leaning towards a GT30R to run the power comfortably but am finding it hard to get my info on how to go about it.
So thought that i would try my luck here as to what everyone thinks i'll need to run this set-up on a daily driven street car. Everything from internals, fuel system and driveline and where the best places are to go.
Thanks

just calculating your goals, you want 224kw to 300kw atw.

Now just by that your gonna need a pretty hardcore build to make those power figures. This is not gonna be a cheap build. Prob 1000cc injectors for a start. Full rebuilt engine.

I'd say your best bet is to start with a larger engine also b18c or b20.

Putting power to the ground is gonna be really hard. Under boost this things gonna be a nugget. For daily driving its not gonna be friendly when boost kicks in.

Its doable but its gonna depend on how much $$$ you wanna pour into it
I'd say this is gonna be at least a $15k+ build

I don't intend to run that power all day but for trips out to the track etc i want to have that kind of power on tap. Ultimate goal is to run deep into the 12's with a street car (12sec 1/4's). I'm thinking around the 10,000$ for the build over the next 12 or so months.

10k for engine or engine +turbo kit?

Quality turbo kit will set you back 10k.

Look at Yonas' car. he's done 12s with NA. That gets big ups from me. Anyone can throw a whole heap of cash at a car to get 12s but to do that with an NA setup demands respect. It also retains a street driven, trackable poise too. A 400hp FWD car is rendered useless the first time it tries to turn a corner.

yeah but 12's out of a NA isn't quite as streetable as 12's with a turbo? (or am i wrong?)

**destrukshn** · 08-02-2008 06:05 PM

wrong.
n/a has a smoother more predictable power band, than a turbo.

which would b the N/A motor of choice to pull 12's in a EG/EK civic in street form

Just make sure you got deep pockets and please make a lovely little thread of your build for all of us to drool over

K24 i would guess ?
Or perhaps a little less torque, a K20 ?

Edit: Realised you said N/A, so i would say K24, you wont have rediculous torque because there's no turbo
