Kyojin 1st Gear April 20, 2008 Share April 20, 2008 sorry to ask. did you downgrade because of $$ issues? if so, i humbly suggest that you save up the money in case you car needs maintenance or servicing. i think people will laugh at you more if your car zhng until damn tiong, but at the end of the day if it breaks down, you cannot afford to fix it. worse still, if you get caught, can you afford to pay the fine? no offence to you bro, but that's my advice.

Thug Clutched April 20, 2008 Share April 20, 2008 (edited) TS ask us to advice on mods I'm sure he had considered he consequences. Not though 92 civic is a very old car. what I did was do up the whole car. From undercarriage to the roof; from exhuast to the engine making every faulty parts are changed b4 I start modding. Seriously speaking if I have the money and if its possible I would ask Honda to build me a new 92 civic version....

Nazaki Clutched April 21, 2008 Share April 21, 2008 Just curious... If u are gonna spend quite some some of money.. Why didn't you get a eg6 or 9 instead of an esi? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostrider 3rd Gear April 21, 2008 Share April 21, 2008 If you are going to TC your car, simple play is bolt on turbo boost level is no more than 0.5bar boost without touching your internals...adding ECU etc... Petrol will go up for sure...all depend on how rich you will be running. Expect late 7 - 8 km/L Why play around with TC for the EG series...if you dare...a B-series 2.0L (from the CRV) is very nice addition to the car. Or the B18B or B18C engine also nice...dun put the H22A though....your car will understeer like crazy due to the heavy engine. If you dun wan....tried and proven mods for the ESi is to Do a 3 angle port n polish, enlarged throttle body....free up exhaust...air intake....is already damn nice to drive liao.

Turbonetics 2nd Gear April 21, 2008 Share April 21, 2008 hi morn to all have a few qns so hopefully , kind bro's out ther pls do give me some advice , had jus change my ride from 2004 civic to 1992 esi , love the power as compare to 2004 civic , but as we all noe ungrade and mod is a kind of addiction , i have come to the ending stage of , either swap to B - Series or , turbo so if ther is anybody EXPERIENCE!!! of doing (as in u had done the mod to ur own car bfore or still using now cos i need truth advice , cos got some advice from other forum , where a kuku tell me alot in the end i go to shop kena laugh by ppl) so. hm.... can anybody pls help me out ? example like 1)-amt of max boost i can t/charge with stock piston , and con rod ?

Thug Clutched April 21, 2008 Share April 21, 2008 When I bought my previous car I had an option...EG9 or EH9(aka ESi). Same body...different engine. But I chose the latter...simply becoz why buy a "already fast car" and mod till siao there still someone better. Get a "ok car" and mod the full potential...thats satisfaction...
