Building a 420HP Turbo Civic in My Grandma's Garage (7 Minute Build)

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

I fully built a turbo LS VTEC Civic in my grandma's garage during the winter with no heat. This Turbo Civic was by first serious car project. I went into the Turbo Civic project with almost no prior experience. This Turbo Civic was built in the garage, and on the driveway on jack stands.
Based on the feedback from my last few videos, I know there are so many of you guys that love this build and wish you could do the same thing. I hope that seeing this car start from nothing and finish as a "clean" little monster is the motivation you guys need. I knew nothing when I started this build. Now I'm ready to take on anything.

    As someone who has lost to a civic before I am not salty at all. That car had to be like 700hp or more. I have a twin turbo 6.0 GMC Sierra pushing about 860hp on half ton axles and a bunch of weight reduction done to it. So I was pretty dang impressed with that civic and how long it probably took that guy to build.

    I've built my first moped in my parents' garden when I was 14. Proceeded to build quite a bit of bikes for my friends there, with no special equipment... Then restored a classic mini and tuned it to 90 bhp (France's legislation, you are not allowed to modify anything so if you do, it has to be stealth so cams, porting, flowing, high CR, bigger valves etc...). Then an E30, then an old CB Twin... once you start, there's no turning back and each time you go a little bit further. Stuff you were reluctant to do a year ago becomes routine. Great feeling right ? Awesome video man, it motivates me to take on another project.

    @@boosted_john The EG6 it's a great chassis imagine an EG6 with a B16B or a B18C5 N/A built by Spoon with EK9 Type R suspension an the S80 transmission with LSD and tires with a lot of grip that would be unique for a circuit and the K20A and K24A H22A and the F20B (the Dohc blue top) all boosted for drag racing and highway runs and the B16A B16B B18C1 B18C5 for make N/A builds for circuits with tight corners and mountain passes where the agility and handling matters more K20A N/A builds are great thought but that's my personal perspective also love the B16B sound
