Just met some guy that has a 97 civic, and all he talk about is his JDM engine w/ a turbo AND a jackson racing supercharger... first of all is that even something one can do???? N E WAYs he also has tanabe 17's w/ an exhaust and a body kit(well just the front bumper......

NE WAYS just wanted to know if one can do that or if I should call his bluff and ask him to open up his hood???

 

OH and by the way... all he talks about is racing...... the bastard just keeps buggin me on how I should race the loser......

 

I remeber reading about that car , it was some serious shiiiiiii ......

Superstreet had a Meguiars car in it about a couple months back. It's a 2000 Integra Type-R. Had a B18C5 with HKS supercharger and turbocharger. It's got two different types of rims as well.

 

from what i read its BS, cause thats a super custom job, u gotta get the two to first fit in that tiny civic engine bay, then work otogether to provide perfect boost with no lag, and work withthe engine computer, the company that did the meguilars car also did a combo T/Scharger for i believe a celica but im not sure and im 99% sure they didnt do one for a civic, though if anyone can prove me wrong go for uit

anyway i think that guys talking out of his butt, unless of cource hes bill gates and can afford to have an engine built from scratch

 

What a loser.

Yesterday I saw some guy with a 2000 Civic going back n forth at the red light and reving his engine. When the light turned green, a jetta next to him just drove passed him. Felt so good to see that happen for some reason.

 

I agree that I think this guy is BSing you... However, if you think the engine bay of a civic is tiny, the new sport compact car has an '85 toyota MR2 with a supercharger, t3/t4 turbo, and nitrous. Just imagine that!

If the guy ISN'T lying... I'd stay the hell away, that would be STUPID fast!

 

Those Jettas can haul @$$! Not the base 2.0, but the 1.8T in the car is very tunable and can get 200+ HP just with the addition of an ECU chip. Check out the vwvortex.com forums if you wanna know more.

 

u just made me think of it, HKS did a compbo turbo/super for the MR2, thanx

 

Race him, because:

A. If he is supercharges/turbo charged, he wouldn't waste his time trying to race you

B. If he has 17" Tanabe rims he is a liar, because Tanabe manufactures Exhaust, and suspension components.

C. If he is SC/Turbo'd, you should see a big shiny intercooler in the front grill, and you can expect to hear his car whine and spool when he pulls up.

D. Sounds like a typical **** talkin ricer to me....race him and show him who his daddy is...

let us know the outcome

 

Sounds like a load of BS to me.....unless he has a rich grandpappy I don't see how any normal person could afford that setup...the only way I got my Turbo N2O setup was sctrach and dent sales and finding people that wanted to get rid of things fast and cheap. Race him though it would be interesting to see the look on his face....be warned though look at his engine bay first.....he might not have all that but he might have a B series swap in there

 

as ugly as that might be, they really worked hard on that paint job

 

Ahhhhhaaaa... my eyes....
