Well, the poll is in! 350+whp inside

One of our sponsored cars in the New England area just called me today with his final dyno results from 25 PSI on his fully built motor, and well it is appealing! I would like to say that this baby is a beast with the numbers of 396whp &
360wtq. I will post the dynos soon as I receive them.

Here are some scattered pics of the build and her on the dyno!

Congrats Hani!!!!

This is good news for me cause after all the work I done I should be able to boost 25 psi as well, will see the results i will post a dyno chart.
And all done with custom made parts, not of the shelf

I have no idea why ppl have the conception that I don't work on my car but for the last few days i'm busting my *** getting it all together by my self with only some help.
That's how I keep my cost down.
I'm confident I'll get over 350whp easy still on a daily driver.

trans- the car has at least a performance clutch as you can see in the pic w/ the engine pulled out.

Thoes numbers are redic. I'm curious as about how much it ended up costing in the end- in dollars, or whatever currency, its not that hard to convert. Happy to be able to fnd out?

Looks like the car has a ramhorn type manifold on it? Any pictures of it? Any more specs on the car? I can't decide if I want to turbo or swap mine out. I was leaning towards a swap...but there has been some good numbers here lately.

Thanks

To build a motor like that its probably more expensive than a swap since half of these parts I'm assuming is custom (intake manifold, exhaust manifold).

The custom stuff is the cheap part if you do it your self
Nice intake, equal lenght or ramhorn manifold and all the exhoust would run a diy'er less than $300.

That is true and I guess if you're bold enough take on a project like this you know a thing or two about turbos so that person probably could fab up some parts on their own.

Here is the first manifold I made for the d17, I'm sure the second would be better.


You can see more pictures of it here
http://www.eville140.com/civic7/

Intakes are not that bad to do either.
This is a first try for my toyota 3tc along with another manifold I made
http://www.eville140.com/3tintake/3tctop12.jpg

I just can't decide if it is worth the money to do a block and cams and engine management. Especially since I will have another car that will be much fast regardless what I do to the civic.
