Race-Tech Civic

[Ricky@Race-Tech]

Not Toyota but might be of interest to a few people.

As you probably guessed i'm into my Hondas. Heres a few pictures of the latest incarnation of my Civic.

Some previous pictures here,

Here

New colour under the engine bay.

The complete front end can be removed with 4 bolts. Makes for much easier access and saved 16kg's.

Subframe bolted in, we were going to make a tubular subframe with new steering rack, but we've had to cut a few corners or it'll never get finished!

Few pic's (ignore the light its not fastened in) Still waiting for the carbon front bumper and wider wings.

The front end in place.

Ignore the rusty hubs, the new ones are been machined to accept much bigger driveshafts.

Ready for the engine.

Front end removed

Engine in (fastest ever)

Manifold and turbo on

Not sure, i've been building it for a year already. We don't get that much time as we'r always busy with customers cars. Theres a lot to finish inside/bodywork wise.

I'm making a double diffuser and various other bits.

We'r making a rather nice custom GT28 Vband turbo kit this week for a Starlet.

Yes its annoying at times, its a good thing I don't get much time to do it though as it means we're busy. My mate actually does more on it than me most of the time. It'll take as long as it takes, i'm not in any rush. But I do want to see it up and running.

Never seen a turbo mounted there before! Looks epic and it's the perfect place for induction

Have you got a power figure in mind? 400bhp?

Keep this updated please

Lol, I bet! Cant wait to see it tearing round! And yeah you could look at it like that, and thats fair enough, didnt know if you wanted it ready for a specific event. How much power you looking at?

Around 700hp on the "small" turbo in the picture. Weight will hopefully be 700kg's.

Custom liners, pistons, conrods, cylinder head. Cam's etc etc. One of our customers with a lower spec engine, smaller turbo and heavier car did last weekend on 1.5 bar (runs over 2 bar max) and won TOTB on the same boost setting last month.

Cars on the front of Jap performance this month.
