Fox Marketing Cars 2012 Honda Civic Si

The main focus of this build was to showcase the reliability, and performance capability from Honda's new K24Z7 power plant. With a properly engineered turbo kit the new Civic Si can consistently provide an enthusiast with over 450 horsepower for 100,000+ reliable miles without blinking an eye. Because the K24Z7 is so strong from the factory, we added a new Full-Race intercooled turbo kit. This turbo kit features the BorgWarner EFR turbo as seen in Honda's LMP1/LMP2 engine program, and 2012 Indycar teams. To properly and accurately tune the vehicle, Hondata FlashPro was selected to control Injector Dynamic 1000cc fuel injectors and the 255lph fuel pump, all made possible with the Chasebays Engine Harness. For additional power and durability, the stock plastic K24Z7 intake manifold was replaced with a Honda RRC intake manifold (euro Accord Type-R) sourced from ImportDPS. Since the car has these types of power numbers we need serious traction - so a 10.5 inch wide Vossen wheel with Toyo Tire will put the power to the ground. We then hand-built the widebody kit around the wheel and tire set up, and painted the civic BASF R-M Ultrasonic Blue Pearl, a new-school take on the classic Civic Si electron-blue-pearl. The interior was upgraded with Yonaka Ronin Racing Seats with factory Civic Si fabric inserts front, and rear. We hope you enjoy our vision for this new Si, and stay tuned to our Facebook and YouTube page for full dyno videos after SEMA!

Wow, that actually looks really good.

Rims are a bit big for my tastes, but it's seksi otherwise

I've always been curious how tuners and/or manufacturers test the longevity of an engine. In this case of an aftermarket tuner, how do they know that it's good for over 450 HP for 100,000+ miles?

lazlong

^^ Manufacturers usually test run an engine for hundreds of thousands, if not millions of miles, before they put them into production. Tuners have to take their word until it happens. You've gotta realize 99% of the time what a tuner says about HP isn't true. Don't believe it till you see it. If it really would last 100K+ at 450HP then it wouldn't void the warranty. fyi: It wouldn't void a GM warranty.

Without the wide-body kit those Civics look like crap.

the rims look way bigger than 20s to me. i've seen 18, 19, 20 on a 7thgen and it looked pretty nice. maybe the 9thgens are just smaller?

MindBomber

The quality of the tune is a major factor in the longevity of a turbo engine, as are the internals. An engine with OEM cast internals runs much tighter piston to wall clearances than aftermarket forged internals, which will be a major factor in longevity. I'd say with stock internals, running 8 psi consistently, this car could last 100k without much trouble. At low boost a turbo really isn't that hard on an engine.

lazlong

Operative words. There is no way that Civic is running low boost. That turbo is as big as a jet engine and it's spitting out double stock HP. I'm not disagreeing with you, I just have my doubts that particular Civic will last 100K.

Tell us how you really feel. Haha. I'm not crazy about them either. If you squint just right, and look at them at a certain angle. Maybe, just maybe...

^ No words can explain how much I effin hate this stupid car.

Test drove the non-Si sedan last week... and it's terrible. VERY terrible.
Just thinking about this stupid car makes my blood boil -_-;

MindBomber

^I admire your passion in the hatred of ninth gen civics.

I love the orange and purple wheels, I wonder who makes them..

dont hate just cause the 9thgen looks like a kia from the rear.

MindBomber

The fact that they look like a kia is a perfect reason to hate haha
