Hey guys, just a good ole' Honda Civic cx hatchback here. I bought it last year with a completely stock d15 engine. It already had the z3 fenders and the mesh front and rear bumper, everything else done to the car was done by my hands and the help of a few friends-- no shop has ever touched it. I first wanted just a nice car that looked and sounded good, with a quality sound system. Since then my attitude has changed much. After a few months with the car I decided an engine swap was in order. The b18b was readily available to my from a local junkyard, so I went for it.

The swap was really pretty easy in hindsight, and the greater horsepower and torque makes the car a lot of fun to drive.

BUT.....
I got into drag racing this summer, and after quite a bit of practice (so the driver is no longer holding back the times)and beating on my car, I've decided I need more power. I just finished turboing my car (and yes, its still on the road in the winter unfortunately) and as of right now its only running 5psi and its ridiculous. If I try to launch or even just floor it from a roll in first or second gear all I get is wheel spin through 3rd. I can't wait to hook up the boost controller and turn up the boost. I need to finish my suspension work and get some drag radials to put this power to the ground.

Best 1/8th mile time: 9.71 @ 74.34 mph
