Copy and pasted from my new users 'hello' thread.

I know it isnt a EK9, but joined this site as i am looking into moving onto a EK9 now or k20 an ek civic. Always really liked the look of them, i think its time i went for one. Might strip my ep3 below and sell on or sell as a whole. If anyone intersted in a swap with a ek9 id welcome that idea aswell.

Thanks guys for the welcome. Here is the spec list as requested and a few pics. Ive kept it sleeper looking. It is making 382bhp at only 9psi.

Custom TD Autowerkes sidewinder manifold turbo kit shipped in from US of A
Garrett GT40 Turbo (capable of 600bhp) (freshly rebuilt by AET turboes)
Tial external wastegate
External screamer pipe
Tial Dump valve (B.O.V)
1200cc RC injectors
AEM fuel rail
AEM fuel pressure regulator
Walbro 255lph fuel pump
Fuel return set-up
TD autowerkes made down pipe
3" custom exhaust from down pipe back, with extra silencer on centre section
Hondata boost controller fitted but not wired up as im only running 9psi boost
RBC intake manifold
AVID racing engine mounts
KPRO
Bonnet spacers
Front Mount intercooler painted black.
Boost, oil pressure and oil temp gauge.
Shift minder shift light
CC stage4 clutch
Huge J's racing radiator

All in all a very efficient set-up and everything works really well together.

I painted the front intercooler black aswell to hide it. Hope you guys like-

looks like a great car :nice:

where are you based?
 
those are some weak numbers we make 505 on a bone stock k20a2 with 12 psi.
 
Do it !!! :D:D

That is actually kind of a plan what has been on my mind about doing. Everytime i see an ek civic im just there drooling, they look real nice.

Regarding the weak numbers, im only running 9psi off the wastegate spring, OR i could have gone to a happy dyno and made it read 506bhp:).

Dyno was done at tdi north, 'dyno dynamics' dyno i think...

Thanks for the possitive comments. Like said above, turboed ek k20 is the next project im looking int right now, quiet possibly just move this over into an ek, and sell my rolling shell ep3 on.
 
That is one sick car bud !! The turbo is huge , surprised you dont suck up animals and small children !

Sprayed intercooler = Cheeky :nerv:

This lump could be an ek9 in near future, then it will look the part aswell.
