this is the craziest civic in my area that i know off
8 second track car.. very serious ride

 

ya that does look serious, tube chasis in the front

 

Very nice, Lots of money put into that engine.

 

nice but why 2 wastegates?

 

well its pure track
so thats why the guy put all this money into it

 

Nice work any idea who did it, or was it your brothers friend.

 

2 waste gate for different boost levels. dont want 40+ psi at the start. it changes from a lower boost to high after like 2nd gear.

 

it was all my brothers friend mostly that build this

 

it can be controlled by rpm/gear by the ecu as far as i know. so again i wouldnt c a point to using 2 wastegates

 

then you would need a electronic wastegate lol cus waste gates have springs in them set for different boost levels. the ecu cant control boost entirely like that... boost controllers help premature release of the spring on waste gates. boost controllers can also turn down boost, but cant turn it up above what you spring is set at. so yea, there would be two waste gates, because one would be controlled by an accuator, which yeah would be part of the ecu.

 

Yor brother's friend has some skills.

 

haha
ya man i agree. him and my brother do this ---- for real
i just drive my ----

 

I would love to see how fast it goes.

 

im sure he has some videos
ill ask him if wants to share it with us chris

 

sounds good man, post em' in the pics/videos if he's cool w/ it.

 

<hoping my Civic will be fast one day, lol

Next project: GSR tranny with LSD
Future projects: built engine + booooost

 

It will be once I'm done with it.

 

Sweeeeeeeeeet....I can't wait

 

2 wastegates are for high boost applications especially drag cars. When you you are running big turbos they push out a lot of exhaust gas, if you can not get rid of the extra gas your boost is going to spike. Therefore 2 WG's will keep your boost under control. Basically a wastegate is for getting rid of extra "boost" if you are set up to run 15psi you want 15psi not go up to like 19psi and then drop off too 15psi

A boost controller is for turning boost up. If you have a 10psi spring in your wastegate and you want 15psi you turn your boost controller up. By doing so you are restricting vacuum to the WG, when this happens it allows you to make 15psi. you can never turn down the boost lowwer than what the wastegate is.

Hope this helps

 

What? you got it the other way. you cant go less than what the spring is, but you can go more.

 

killer cool

 

Ialways thought that a boost controller could also let extra boost of beyond the waste gate... o well, good to learn

 

nice

 

I remember seeing this car at ETD numerous times a couple years back. Wasn't this the car that had a d-series engine at first?

 

whats ETD? and i do remember he did have a different motor
so very possible

 

siiicccckkkk

 

That's awesomeee

 

I always like looking at cars like this. The people who build them dam they know a lot. I would also want to see it race.

 

Lookksss crazyyy

 

Nice

 

wil C you've said nice to every thread lol. i think thats all your posts... lol

 

well he said "nice" 13 times. once "nice" and a little sentence after and he said "nothing" once. ahahaha

 

lol

 

what are you guys?? stalkers? lol!

 

^^haha nop
lets not get off topic

 

Ok XNXIXTXRXOX, sorry for saying nice in some post.. I won't ever post anything on any thread ever again.

 

^ Nice, LMFAO ^

 

loooks crazzy...more pictures?

 

no man he didnt let me take more
but i am in the process of asking him soon times
ill post some more pics of my brothers civic very shortly its almost done.. this one is also gonna be something to see

 

damn....nice!
