Honda Civic R18 Ebay TURBO Build PT 1 

Hey, I have a 9th gen civic LX (5 speed :D), will this turbo kit work on mine as well? i would assume so, since i have an R18 motor, but hey, who knows

Yes it works with the 9th gen also. Few people run it on their 9th gens.

@@BulliKidis this the 1.8 140 hp?

@@doddsalfa yes

Hey thanks!!!!

Thanks for stopping by! K24/k20 is a beast!

Thanks brother

ThNk you appreciate that!

Thank you! Stay tuned!

I agree! Doesn’t help being lowered tho.

I cant believe everyone isn't saying that! First thing i thought was, yep that engine and everything the oil goes through is toast lol

Sweet man! You will get it done I’m sure! Best of luck!

@@BulliKid yes 2 more weeks of work before I have time to get started. Think I'm bouts to rebuild the whole engine first.

That’s a huge undertaking!

Yes! No one is really doing it!

Dare to be different can’t wait to be smashing on these 10th gens lol 😂

@@BulliKid im puttng a kraftwerks supercharger on mine

Nice! Are you buying new or used

just bought an 08 civic coupe. looking for options to make it quicker it’s a very nice handling car in the backroads!

Sweet! Enjoy it. 💪

Gracias!

Thank you for watching and I hope the videos help! Love to India!

Used oil didn’t have shavings. And I flushed a bunch before putting in the used oil back. It’s all good. My build. My risk.

Maybe just drop the pan after draining the oil and just drill out the oil pan on a work bench clean it with some good old brake cleaner and use the gasket of your liking and get her going

Armature

The oil pan has a magnet bro 😅

​@@sugybooks but is it an aluminum magnet?

If you have time to work on the project i would suggest buying a used or amazon oil pan and tapping into that. Always better to be on the safe side. Thanks for watching! 😀

definitely take off the oil pan haha

Thanks brother! You are right about that!

Yeah, I'm sorry, but this guy is pretty far from knowledgeable, this is definitely one of the worst ways I've ever seen a turbo installed, mostly cuz so much is wrong, from the other comments it sounds like he ended up blowing up the engine from doing this, which doesn't surprise me one bit, thinking you can just throw a turbo on a stock block with stock internals is about as silly as thinking you can just add nitrous to a stock engine and think it'll be just fine, the proper way to do this would have been pulling the engine out and at the very least, doing something like stacking head gaskets to lower the compression ratio, and putting in aftermarket connecting rods, if not aftermarket pistons as well, because this engine is meant to be a relatively weak econobox designed to get you the best gas mileage, not power, it would have made so much more sense to start with an Si because at least that engine is meant to produce some power an not just get you as far as possible on a tank of gas, everyone thinks these R18s can be modded to make power because they have i-vtec , but the i-vtec system in this engine is nothing at all like the system in the k20a engine lol

Thanks for the comment. Yes it was my first ever turbo budget build. I did bend a rod on cylinder 1 after 8k miles. You are right with what you said if you want to do a proper turbo build. Rods pistons. Professional tune. Again. This was my first turbo build. And I did what I could the best that I could have with what I had. No regrets. It was fun and I learned a lot. Only can learn from the process and keep going. 🙏💪✅

I love it now too!

Gracias!

Thanks! Help support the channel! We doing this

No problem brother! I’m glad I came across on RU-vid!! Cheers and best of luck! The turbo series I have has all the details.

Gratitude!!! 🙏

Yes

I would agree 100% Next build. Definetly removing the oil pan.

Hell yea buddyyy

Me too ganna boost my r18 just need a few things left to collect and yeah lol 😝

@@danielcamacho5519 sweet! Same kit?

@@BulliKid t3/t4 turbo kit EBAY custom inter cooler custom charged piping transmission cooler level 10 torque converted skunk 2 cam tial waste gate 3 piece pully kit rdx injectors a few more things lol my car has 75,000 miles can’t wait to see it perform with the Hondata 2011 Honda Civic coupe

If you ever want to sell your Hondata I’m your guy $$$

Thank you! Watch the entire build playlist!!

Yes ! Focus my energy on the build for a few months and bam! Any this is possible if you set your mind to it.

Should work in theory. Depends if the head exhaust manifolds are the same size and bolt up together. The kit does not come with everything. What you see pictures is what you get with the kit. You have to buy few things to make it a functioning kit.

Thanks

I just passed 98k I didn’t compression test few weeks ago. Checkout the turbo playlist of everything!

Haha. Yes it’s much easier and faster to post on IG! Thanks for watching!

@@BulliKid thank you for making this video i have not seen this anywhere else, you’re making me want to turbo mine. do you have any idea when episode two is dropping?

@@starexploits5469 next week I should have it edited ! Yes not many people posting about the r18 so I figured I want to do it.

Thanks.

What do you mean I’m boosting into the valve cover. That message got deleted by RU-vid for some reason.

@@BulliKid disregard my previous message. I saw your other video.

Your car your build.

Just keep it and use it as a daily and keep less miles on the si. It’s nice having two 8gens These are the best gen in my opinion

Hey. Bent cylinder 1 rod after 8k hard miles. Rebuilt it with a used rod and still running strong.

The turbo kit and manifold should match up. The intercooler piping will probably have to get adjusted and fitted properly to fit.

My timing was moderate at most I don’t think it was too aggressive but you never know. At the end of the day I took it myself and I built it myself so there’s always gonna be some error

It gave me more room plus these items are not need when going turbo.

Yes! Very similar to install

No

That’s all extra stuff you have to buy

R18 is the base model civics. Almost never turbocharged. No where near as strong as k series.

I don’t remember drilling into the exhaust. I drilled into the oil pan.

Hey thanks my friend!!

Thanks!! Yah it’s a baby budget build. My first build journey with turbo. Fun car and yes around 40-50 hp I’m sure. 😃 check out the v2 build playlist where I make the system a bit better 👌👍

You need a tuning solution like hondata/ k tuner and a reputable tuner that is familiar with the car and software.

In a perfect world that’s what you want to do and that’s what I did the second time around with the turbo build. It was kind of a pain in the butt to take the oil pan out of this car. Therefore, I did it the way I did it.

@@BulliKid Thanks for your reply. Went through the whole series including the repair after you blew it. Damn, a lot of work! You still own the car? If yes, what engine are you running? Thinking of selling my 2009 Golf 6 1.4TSI and get met a low-milage Civic 1.8.

@@MischaGielen yes I still have it and I turbocharged it again. Check out the turbo v2 playlist for the version 2 set up!! :)

@@BulliKid Cool, will check tonight 🤘

Link Should be in the description It’s from ebay.

It will work. Intercooler will have have to be custom piping.

Link in description! Thank you sir! And good luck

The concept should be the same if anything you have to just watch out for the intercooler piping to make it work for you

It’s always a good idea to get colder air. And yes you are correct. You get more power and less knock. Win win!

Yes you’ll get more horsepower but it’s going to be very little, probably 15 more horsepower

Thanks and Goodluck on your build!

Link in description for turbo kit.

No plan. Hope it holds well. I’m shooting for 170-180 whp with the auto 6 psi

The cvt trans is fine up to 225 hp before encountering slipping and failing

@@jonreggio86 this isn't a cvt

trans cooler no launching will be fine

@@cartere9981 ayyy any idea what the 2013 1.8s standard trans can take? Its not cvt for sure.

Thank you. Check out the full playlist for details.

Yes my car automatic. Watch the playlist. I have video of the entire build.

If it has the r18 motor yes

If this wasn’t my daily and had another car to use I would have dropped it. It’s a lot more work to drop this pan so I chose to do it this way. But you are absolutely right. Safest way is to drop the pan!

Yes. No more catalytic converter

Thank you I appreciate the sub!!

Thanks for reaching out. Intake and header won’t do much. It will just sound better. I don’t have any companies in mind but obviously you get what you pay for as far as fitment and finish. A turbo can possibly make your engine blow but all depends on how much boost you run and the tune. So far mine is at 5k miles and I drive it hard every day.

PCV deleted. Bov to intake mani Wastegate to compressor

@@BulliKid Thanks. I watched the part 2 the PCV is routed to the catch can.

It’s a fun little car. The turbo noises are the best.

I flushed a few quarts through it at best.

Thanks! And welcome

Hello! Thanks for watching. I do not have a list but I have videos of the parts in the playlist before I installed it! Cheers

@@BulliKid great ill have a look. Again awesome work

Yes and yes

Thanks. The map sensor is oem. I didn’t touch it.

@@BulliKid okay cool.. because i read up on the full boost page and they mentioned that the conversion needs a 4 bar hondata map sensor.. did you do anything in the hondata software to compensate for that? Because if the oem map sensor is rated for 2bar then i think i should be fine im only planning on pushing maximum 0.8bar because our 91 and 93 pump gas quality isnt the greatest.. so i dont want to take any chances..

@@marcoabrahams2333 over 10 psi you need hondata 4 bar map sensor. I am running max 7 psi. Stock map does just fine.

Brilliant ... Thanks@@BulliKid .. ill watch the rest of the vids just to see what i need to look out for

Perfect! Enjoy

The heat shield?

The few, the brave. Thanks!!

I’m still gunshy after losing #4 in my 5vzfe at 13 psi.

Snake bit

i’ve got so many questions bro

Yes big difference with turbo. You can do either a dyno or flash. Dyno is best buy street tuning is ok too. It’s been reliable so far.

I have it in storage

@@BulliKid if you were to put a catalytic converter on would you have to do some modifications to the OEM exhaust system? And how would you go about hooking the O2 sensor back on it?

You would need a aftermarket converter and a o2 sensor extensor.

It’s in description

Yes.

Just a little crazy. Take the leap!

It’s faster then stock…. But it wasnt fast enough to even beat some stock sport cars like a WRX, gti , ect it was totally worth it tho. I had the best joy with the turbo r18.

Not sure if there is one available for this. The t tap was easy anyway.

Yes

The factory R18

Thanks for the comment. However that is the oil drain and it is suppose to be above the oil level. 👍

My car is automatic. And yes I did. And yes you can too. Subscribe and follow the playlist. Im doing a raffle for the turbo kit if we hit 30k

Finally watching the build serious! About time!

Yes it is essential

@@BulliKid ok thanks
