Whats up guys? Well I picked up a 1988 Civic 4DR SOHC for a DD and to keep miles off the SRT-4. When I got my first car it was this exact same car except it was maroon. I always wanted to build it but the body was just not it good enough shape to so I traded it in. Well now i can finally start my build again..

My goal is to have it in the 10s by next summer.

I have a B18 block that i'm buying and its coming with a complete B18 bottom end so that will be getting built for big boost.

Mods so far:
Beak's Rear Tie bar
Rear Strut Bar
DC2 Console Mod


Future mods will include:
Hondata S3000
Turbonetic's turbo kit( Not sure what size i want to go yet)
Built LS Vtec motor..Valves,Springs,Pistons/rods/rings,Cams...The works
AEM Fuel Rail
Walboro 255

No....I'm still kind of new with the honda scene....Im just looking for the best set up to put down around 350-400whp with the built block. I want to run like 15-20psi on it....As far as stock block on Hondata only like 8-9. I'm always open to suggestions and tips/tricks and what not.

Thanks.

Your on the right path, with a b series amd high power a good traction bar setup is a must

One of my good friends has to 500whp with his and its now awd :)

Thanks. Blox LCA's are being ordered this week. Then for the traction and suspension i'll be going with ASR Subframe brace, Full Race Traction bar set up and Instead of the Skunk2 coilovers im going with K Sport Kontrol Pro's.


I couldnt imagine a 500awhp civic....Holy hell.

good luck with it man, I owned two EF Sedans and loved them. That build sounds solid, LS blocks love boost =]
