1996 Honda Civic Lx Turbo Vitara Mini-me Swap Vtec 250+ Wheel Horsepower on 2040-cars
Oconomowoc, Wisconsin, United States

For sale is a cypress green 1996 Honda Civic LX sedan. This car has been totally rebuilt and turbocharged with less than 7,000 miles on most everything. Body has about 219,000 miles. I have been putting my heart and soul (along with blood and tears) into this build, but I'm at a point in life where I don't have time for this hobby and I'd like to buy a house.
The list of things done to this car is lengthy: Cylinder Head: 97 EX VTEC head (VTEC is all wired and pinned to the ECU, but doesn't work because the computer wasn't programmed for it) Supertech valve springs new OEM Honda valve stem seals ARP head studs Black wrinkle painted valve cover All new Honda OEM gaskets Engine Block: 96 LX block Bored over to 75.5mm stock sleeves 75.5mm YCP Vitara pistons Custom length forged rods from RC Autoworks (to bring compression ratio up to approx. 8.5:1) Custom ground block to allow clearance for rods ARP rod bolts Polished crankshaft ACL Race main and rod bearings All new Honda OEM gaskets Gates Racing timing belt New Honda OEM water pump New Honda OEM timing belt tensioner Steel oil pan with welded -10 AN turbo oil return fitting Magnetic oil drain plug Detergent free 30wt oil used for proper break-in procedure, then only Mobil 1 full synthetic 5w30 oil used D16Y8 intake manifold port-matched to integra LS 60mm throttle body (uses the LS throttle body gasket) Hondata thermal intake manifold gasket (reduces intake air temps) Speedfactory 4 bar map sensor Lancer Evolution 560cc fuel injectors with adapter harness and resistor box (no wiring hacks) Walbro 255 fuel pump Ebay 2.5" aluminum intercooler piping kit with silicone couplers and T bolt clamps Lancer Evolution front mount intercooler Genuine HKS blow-off valve (sounds awesome) New Precision 5431 MFS turbocharger • MFS (Machined From Solid) 54mm inducer compressor wheel • "E" compressor cover 3.0" inlet/2.0" outlet • 57mm exducer T31, 76 trim turbine wheel • Turbine housing: - T3 .63 A/R with 5 bolt discharge (without wastegate hole) • 360° journal bearing system Custom cold-air intake in driver's wheel well Heat wrapped Ramhorn exhaust manifold Tial 38mm Wastegate (15 PSI spring) recirculated into exhaust (no annoying loud wastegate) 2.5" V band exhaust with upstream O2 sensor and Aem UEGO wideband O2 sensor 2.5" stainless exhaust turbo-back NO Catalytic convertor (car will not pass emissions, it has been converted to OBD I) Cheap Ebay axle-back muffler actually sounds great, not loud or raspy at all Engine Management: OBD I PO6 ECU from Phearable.net Converted to a VTEC computer VTEC is wired in and pinned to the Ecu harness (Vtec does not work due to the ECU program) OBD II to OBD I conversion harness Tuned on Chrome On 93 octane by Beeyond Engineering Tuned with boost leak and bad wastegate- maxxed out at 250whp @ 18 PSI Changed to Tial wastegate, fixed vacuum/boost leak, and did mini-me swap (VTEC head) since then WITHOUT getting re-tuned. Fuel cut is at 18PSI (cannot go higher) With a new tune this setup can easily hit 350 HP Transmission: Stage 4 Competition Clutch Stock flywheel Transmission has had no work done besides all new Honda OEM external oil seals And short-throw shifter Slight occasional grind has just started into third (like last 500 miles and doesn't happen all the time, just trying to be honest) seems like it happened when I switched from Royal purple to Mobil 1 gear lube. Maybe a switch back is the cure My next project would be an MFactory limited slip differential and rebuild the transmission, but I do not have the time or funds for that at this point in my life. Tires do spin in second gear, it's cool, but traction is speed! Axles are Newer stock replacements, maybe 30,000 miles on them Tires are Falcon Azenis with a lot of tread left Wheels are QT Alloys 16" stripped, primed and painted metallic black by me (paint is chipping, doesn't look awful) Black locking lug nuts Also have 4 original steelies with hubcaps (tires are not good) Suspension/brakes: New Koni shocks Tein S tech lowering springs (perfect drop, Perfect Ride) All polyurethane bushings except rear trailing arm and rear compensator arm, which are New OEM Honda bushings Civic SI rear sway bar All 4 New Timken wheel bearings New slotted/drilled front rotors New front upper control arms, all new ball joints Tie rods are new, but the boots are already cracked (kind of upset about that) may need to be replaced soon Interior: White faced gauges with LED lighting Autometer Phantom boost and mechanical oil pressure gauge (steel braided -3an oil line doesn't leak) mounted in gauge bezel AEM UEGO wideband white faced gauge in single pod on A-pillar Blitz turbo timer installed in coin pocket HDI electronic boost controller has a high and low setting that can be adjusted from inside the cabin electronically. It controls a MAC valve in the engine bay that regulates the pressure the wastegate sees Black and tan interior plastic pieces (not painted, actual OEM Honda) RSX type S Titanium (tan) leather front seats custom fitted to the civic bolt locations All airbags still intact and hooked up Stock tan cloth rear seats Aftermarket speakers in front doors and rear deck NO stereo, an adapter harness is already wired in as well as wiring for a subwoofer in the trunk NO cruise control NO air conditioning "rattler" brand aftermarket keyless entry Passenger front power door lock doesn't work Slight squeaking noise from rear drums (new shoes will be included, but not installed) Type R polyurethane black front lip M3 style side mirrors with LED arrow blinkers, painted to match the car Projector headlights with LED halo and the inside painted to match the car Body isn't perfect, dents on driver's side rear door and dents on passenger's front door (ill try to show this in the pictures) Windshield has a crack OEM rear spoiler was installed and has a little clear coat peeling I like to say "all go and no show" This car still averages 30 MPG with "spirited" driving!! Local test drives for SERIOUS buyer's only with me or my father ONLY, I've learned that lesson. Thanks for looking, Message me (Adam) for more info or to set up a time to view the car. Please keep in mind, I live in Oconomowoc and I also work 3pm-11pm weekdays, so mornings will be the best bet Deposit is due immediately at auction end, and full payment will be expected within 7 days |

Honda adopts English as its official language in meetings worldwide
Mon, 25 Nov 2013Japanese was clearly the language of operation while we visited Honda's global headquarters in Tokyo last week, as well as its newest factory and principal test track. Chief executive Takanobu Ito (pictured above) spoke to us through an interpreter. But according to the latest reports, the Japanese language is being phased out at Honda in favor of English.
This according to Bloomberg, which points out that tire manufacturer Bridgestone and rival automaker Nissan have implemented similar measures, as have Japanese retail giants Fast Retailing Co. and Rakuten Inc. Honda's shift from Japanese to English comes as part of a shift in focus from central decision-making to a more regional model, but while English has clearly emerged as the international language of business, it's no coincidence that it's also the dominant language here in America. Bloomberg points out that over the 12-month period that ended this past March, North America accounted for a massive 47 percent of Honda's revenues worldwide.
Honda launches new Fit in Japan, has big expectations for North America
Thu, 05 Sep 2013Honda has officially launched the Fit sub-compact in its home market, ahead of its eventual arrival in North America. The third-generation Fit is wildly important for Honda, with the company's president, Takanobu Ito, saying, "This is the most important model."
The third-generation Fit is a ground-up reworking of the car that we've come to know. It will pioneer Honda's new design language, Exciting H Design (seriously) and will also be the very first Fit to be manufactured in North America. Thanks to a Mexican factory that is scheduled to open in the spring of 2014, Honda will be able to produce 200,000 Fits for the North American market in North America, saving the brand a huge amount of cash.
As for that Exciting H Design, it's meant to be sleeker and more modern, according to Automotive News. It's not bad looking, but the overall design is far less important than what's under that hood. The vehicle you see above is a Fit RS, which has quite a resemblance to the rumored Fit Mugen. There's not a lot of detail on this model, but based on looks alone, we certainly hope it'll be coming to the North American market - it'd make a great Fit Sport. A hybrid variant will also come to the US market, and that car is returning impressive numbers on the Japanese cycle: 86 miles per gallon so far, thanks to the combination of an 1.5-liter, Atkinson-cycle, four-cylinder engine and a seven-speed, dual-clutch transmission. That's a 35-percent improvement over the current, JDM Fit Hybrid.
Honda NM4 concept motorcycles channel Akira
Fri, 21 Mar 2014Honda has rolled out a pair of new motorcycle concepts at the Osaka Motorcycle Show in its home market of Japan, and they're our first glimpse at the company's "neo-futuristic" NM4. Shown in both stealthy black and an eye-catching white, the NM4s are sharp creations that feature interesting riding positions.
Honda calls the concepts' seating "the cockpit position," claiming that it unifies bike with rider. We don't know about that, but we will admit that compared to most sportbike seats - which are more or less just bits of padding to squeeze between your legs - these bikes' saddles look more or less like conventional seats. Honda says that their backrests are adjustable, which should provide a comfortable riding experience. Still, with these bikes' sporting looks, we can't imagine their low seats are going to be great for dipping knees through the bends (although the should lower the center of gravity, so perhaps it's a wash).
Both show bikes, NM4-01 and NM4-02, are powered by 745-cc, two-cylinder engines, while dual-clutch transmissions are employed to dispatch unspecified amounts of power to their wide rear tires. The bikes are nearly identical save for different colors, but the NM4-02 features an integral set of hard panniers for increased utility. We've got a gallery of both, so hop up above and take a look.
