Honda Civic H22 Turbo. 600+ BHP

vivanbhathena · 14th November 2011, 02:11

In my quest to turbo the H22 and achieve over 600 hp, we have spent oodles of money and 3-4 years of time. Finally today, we were able to achieve the desired result and the car gave us 11.7 and 618 hp on street tyres with 4 people in the car. Drag slicks will be tested soon and we should bring the time down to 11.00 or hopefully 10.8-10.9.

We started with a na high comp h22, but we could not get lower timings than 14 without nitrous.. I then decided to go the turbo route and ordered a block from abroad. Just the sleeved block because turner jobs here suck for high hp apps. Then we started with a smaller 400hp turbo and 750cc injectors. After facing many issues like idling, fueling cams, head work ignition. Multiple r&d was done on the suspension which we still feel isnt adequate and we bought a 32 way adjustable suspension and a wavetrac 1.5way lsd. Bc turbo cams which we now changed to skunk pro series. Nitrided valves titanium retainers etc. Fuel issues kept creeping up then we incorporated a sard fuel cell with two walboro pumps and 1000cc injectors and a larger turbo.. Old turbo couldnt make more then 350-400 effectively.. We bought a holset 40 and incorporated a top mount system with a twinscroll system. The mounts were race mounts from innovative and driveshaft shop axles with low temp thermostats. Then traction was the issue so we incorporated slicks and now she is finally ready. But if we had race gas and proper vht tracks, this car would be breaking 10 or atleast earlier 10.2-10.3.Did i mention we lightened the entire car up to 1000kg or less with fibre everything and finally we are running about 2 bar of boost. (race gas we could do 2.5 bar) gearing was too tall so we even got a final drive and now the car is finally ready. She will go into paint and interiors so i will have pics for you soon..now we are working on our evo x which we have already got down to 12.35 and are pushing for 11. Will add pics soon

Here are some pics for you guys. Take a look and let me know what you think. We still have to paint and do some bodywork. but mechanically she is sound.

Whoa!! Thats awesome! 618 from a civic is unreal!!

Congrats on success of such a huge project!

Do post some pics of the car and its heart!

Speed.Demon · 14th November 2011, 06:26

Wow, 600+ bhp??? On a Civic!! Insane!!
Yea, me too waiting for more pictures of this beast's heart, what did you put in there, twin superchargers or something?

Take this bad boy to the highway and watch the AMGs and M5s dive for cover!!

iTNerd · 14th November 2011, 07:16

This should be exciting! Never heard of such high yield from such an old engine design. More info PLEASE

Catalyst_delhi · 14th November 2011, 08:32

618BHP on stock tyres / old engine totally unreal! I think in stock setup H22 should produce around 200bhp. How did you manage another 400 BHPs and pics please. This must be a setup to drool on.

618BHP on stock tyres with an old engine

Man you guys have really put in a lot of Masala in that Civic.

Can you please describe in detail the journey in building this monster along with the specs and description of the components used.

Will be following this thread keenly, do post more pics of the monster!

618 HP on a Civic!! What did you guys do? More details please!

suhaas307 · 14th November 2011, 11:48

600 horses in a FWD car. Ummm, not the best idea I'd say. Most of that power would be quite unusable. I can't even imagine what the torque-steer would be like. But good effort, nonetheless. It's quite an achievement!

More pictures would be appreciated!

_raVan_ · 14th November 2011, 12:22

Its quite an achievement guys! Kudos to you both for pulling it off. But seriously, stock tyres???

Eagerly waiting for the pics and hopefully a video of your drags

heavy_foot · 14th November 2011, 12:35

You guys have to hear this beast running, the BOV is demonic!!

Amey · 14th November 2011, 14:04

Those are some impressive numbers.Congrats mate

aadithsince1980 · 14th November 2011, 14:19

Woah! Brilliant project, waiting for the pics now feel like ummm humm waiting for your public exam results

Just one question: Is the car drivable enough to be used as a daily drive too?

diesel_power · 14th November 2011, 16:45

600+ Hp..!! That's amazing. This may easily smoke out a Lamborghini Gallardo..!

Do post in some pictures of the modification journey.

You have real guts and patience to pull this off.

Congrats.

Akshay1234 · 14th November 2011, 21:18

Thats a G-tech. I doubt those figures are acurate. Why not dyno it and report back.

anachronix · 14th November 2011, 23:12

Sounds unreal to me! Thats a lot of power to be sucked out of a pensioner engine

I would await the dyno figures and also pictures of the build process!

BTW, How are you managing 600HP in a FWD car? IMO, anything more than 200HP to the front wheel is a disaster!
