Hello everyone, this is my first post. I have a 2013 Honda Civic Ex AT (non-CVT) daily driver (~100 miles daily) and looking to put a little more "umph" in this mofo haha. My other cars are turboed and I do enjoy TCs immensely, but am open to SCs as well. Money is not an issue and I'm not intending this car to race anyone. It's tracked. I just want to make it more fun to drive on my daily commute with an emphasis on torque. I have read numerous threads of which @Nix and @team3d s knowledge of the matter really helped.
I have an automatic transmission and am getting a Derale transmission cooler and reading the guide @Nix made (thank you) and will get a level 10 torque converter if required. My goals are 200-250 WHP and 180+ WTQ. From Nix's wisdom I've come to the understanding that our transmission is the same 5SPD that's in the RDX, which has 240 hp.
I'm not looking for anything crazy, I have other cars for that. I don't want an Si, if I did I would have gotten one, this is a DD. The R18 is an extremely reliable engine with fantastic mpg (driver dependent) and was my first car, so it holds sentimental value.
My current setup,
Truhart struts
Skunk 2 springs
Eibach front and rear sway bars
Moog endlinks
Wilwood Forged Narrow Superlite 6Rs (6 piston)
Injen CAI
Konig Oversteer 18x8
Kuhmo 235/40/R18s
Borla Axleback Exhaust
I started this project two weekends ago from stock and it has been fun (that air intake was a bi**h getting out). I'll post pictures soon. Now I want to explore power options. I contacted FullRace and their TC will fit 9th gens, but the charge piping will need modification. My question mostly pertains to SCs. Has anyone had any luck mounting a JRSC/Kraftwerks onto the 9th gen? Any information is greatly apprecieted. Thank you. button below.
