Honda Civic R18 Ebay TURBO FIRST TEST DRIVE! 

I've got a lot of love for the lil R18 engine, so overlooked and underrated, I've tuned two of them, a custom turbo one with a TD04-16T which made 260WHP and a Kraftwerks Rotrex one which made 235WHP.

Super impressed. Figuring out the tune without a Dyno blows my mind. You sir are a scholar and have a cool build

Im so glad u did this build !!..perfect in every way for us everyday workin r18 owners ..i watched another vid awhile back but this dude did a top of the line turbo build spent over 3k n it completely turned me off of ever thinking about doing it and just starting looking for an si because i can get a used 8th gen si for about 5k .but man this is exactly what i needed to turn back to building my r18 with a cheap ebay setup .if its less than $2k im in.i have a 06' ex coupe (5spd too btw haha jk.) Idc if the turbo not namebrand i just want some more power i only got a cai and throttle body spacer all that did was better throttle response ..can u drop the budget info please and parts list?. Also how u learned to tune. I have zero experience with tuning and i was lost in vid 4 when u were talking about the tune.

Sounds wicked man! Nice setup!

That sound is amazing

This is exactly how I drive my R18 auto! (1-2-3-D) and you are doing it right by taking your foot off throttle abs shifting, I tell people all the time this setup is not boring!!! At all. And how you boosted it. Honestly man, I’m convinced it is the perfect setup. Wow blown away right now!

Part 2 to 4 i was soo hooked!

Damn bro i wanna do this to my civ just for the sound like damn

Someone should build Shift by Wire paddle shifters with a actuator shift kit shifter for regular automatics. I'm not sure if automatics can handle manual downshifting though.

By the way I had my civic for 11 years now, and it’s still running good

Honestly sounds good man. I’m gonna build my r18 all motor as much as I can. Also gonna focus on suspension

people dont give our little r18s any credit. they are workhorses! and you can REALLY put some decent power :)

Nice build get you some solid motor mounts and a set of Ralco underdrive pulleys 👍

Your shifter might be able to shift from 1st to 2nd without pushing the button in in higher rpm's. Then it should unlock third to push it up without pushing the button in. That's how my automatic works. You might want to try it and see if it'll shift into second without pushing the button in higher RPMs. It either works that way or my shifter lock is broke.

I have a 2010 Honda Civic sedan, I put in two electric turbines, and let me tell you they definitely work great, I don’t even have to turn them on, and they make so much power, it’s incredible, if you want to keep your breaks a lot longer, down shift while your are slowing down, and to not keep on spinning your wheels, start in 1, and shift up, that will help a lot..

Sweet build 😊

How id wish you were my neighbor.. so i can get instal guidence on the same setup install

Do you feel the pulled 😊

Does the Hondata Tuner module come with the application or do you have to purchase the application separately?

Hi bro loving this video. I'm from the UK and have an r18 engine. I was planning to boost my car saw one or two eBay but not sure if I should risk it. Otherwise I have to send near £3.5k on turbo kits. What do you advise? eBay stuff any good? Ta

IS HONDA CIVIC 1.8 FN1 140 HP R18A2 ENGINE TURBO KIT COMPATIBLE?

Now in every video you have to put “Filmed in Mexico”

hey man where'd you get the black H steering wheel emblem? it looks sick

Any turbo recommendations for my 2011 SE?

d3 gear is slow at stop, high torque and high resistance its for climbing

So are u happy with the ebay kit?? And how much power u think???

If you would have relocated the battery to the trunk you would have had space to put to put the turbo

bet you didnt know you can rev match downshift on that auto transmission!! works best into 2nd gear

You should take it to a dyno I really want to see what it makes. Hp

Just needs bigger tires now.

Why are you zeroing the preload wastegate, and targeting 5 PSI, instead of 7 PSI as previous setup?

You have to be the person with the most knowledge on R series motors so I need to ask your advice. I’m running an Injen SRI that I’m satisfied with right now no tune (did not throw a code using the factory sensor and sounds good with a tiny bit of noticeable power added) I want a stage 2 camshaft and a flash pro tune to delete VTEC and tune for mods (just Air to Fuel tuning) However I feel like I would need some sort of exhaust mod to improve the flow out of the exhaust. I like catbacks and all but where i live they are frowned upon by neighbours, motorists and especially the police. I was thinking a high flow cat underneath the car or maybe a test pipe/header but I still believe in running cats for environmental reasons plus removing cats is illegal here in Ontario. I’m not looking for a huge improvement in performance maybe around 20-30hp but I enjoy the sound of well tuned and loud motors with minimal exhaust sound. So my question is, If I’m looking to push more air and more fuel with a camshaft would the stock exhaust perform decently with expelling exhaust gases to accommodate for a minor increase in power? If I should improve the exhaust, what would be the most effective yet fairly quiet or stinky modification to do? Test pipe? High Flow cat? Catback with silencer?

I see you use the gears is it possible to break your transmission like that?

Is it possible to run a bigger turbo Also maybe relocate the battery? It would be great if you can

Could you tell me how to correctly shift the automatic because I always drive it in D. Also do you have a mod list because I also wanna mod my LX but on a budget just like you have. I wanna at least wanna have 200 horsepower.

How much hp Can the transmission take ? Sick build dude !

Hey what kind of wheels are those in your car in the thumbnail

What bolt on kit did you use ? Have a r18 015 manual

Yessir transformed an average car into a mini bugatti

Did you have to do anything internal to the engine? Or is it just a bolt on.

Can switching gears like that in an auto hurt the transmission?

@4:59 DEER!!

You running a new basemap tune ?

What brand and size wheels do you have on there?

When is the 2step going to happen ?

In total how much was the turbo & all that after installs ?

Do u shift 1 2 3 D for everyday driving as well?

Can u send me the link where to buy the turbo kit

Would it work for economy? I’ve seen before people adding turbos for more fuel economy, but they were diesels 🧐.

Can you put a turbo in a 15 EXL automatic?

What you need to adjust is that auto trans to a manual trans 😂😂😂

How did you build your trans for boost?!

What type of rims do you have

What ecu are you running I have a 08 dx in Canada and needed and American ecu to run my hondata

U need aem wideband air fuel guage..

Is this a turbocharger?

Can you put a turbo on a 2008 honda civic ex?

Is the Honda you have a ex,lx,dx

I wanna do this to my Civic

How much did it cost

Stock internals?

You should have paddle shift on that Civic

Can u down shift in tha civic?

What a waste of money, all that bullshit for an automatic civic, just get an Si with the 2.0L engine…

auto wtf loool

I have a 2009 civic lx. You think I can build mines like yours ?
