The largest Civic Type R club forum

Evening all, i have been looking around the interwebs for a while and still haven't found a huge amount of good info as yet. with CTRO now back up i thought i would ask away on here, by all means if there is a good thread with my answers in please point me in the direction as the searching hasn't revealed a great deal.

So i have build another kswap civic namely a 925kg Eg, i have rebuilt the whole damm car and finally is about to be MOT'd and come out to play again.

My question is this, i have had a 230/40hp N/A and im wanting more the car must remain drivable and reliable as this will be doing alot of track work. What is the best forced induction route, JRSC, Rotrex and Turbo. All of the option don't seam to much difference in cost but im looking to get the right system for the chassis due it not being the usual lardy arse civics late

Any help and advice is all appreciated, thanks.

240bhp @ 925kg you say? that would be pretty rapid mate, do you even need to go boosted? How about a 5.1 or 5.4 FD and get tdi north drop in cams instead? EP3s have made 270bhp with those cams and other optimum mods.

I think being that your BHP/tonne is so good already, boosting would lose some drivability. If you did go boosted then id say a Rotrex would be the best option, I wouldn't even aim for more than 350bhp. or even 300! Best with slicks and LSD essential of course.

It is pretty sharpe, i just feel i will get bored this year. Im currently running the EP3 box with a Spoon plated LSD so she puts the power down with out any issues at all. My ideal would be 300@ the wheels. Anything more would be unusable.
