My NHB 30th Anniversary

[daveski]

I didnt know you could get gains of 50bhp ish from mods on these engines, good to know for my next car change

 

[Sir_Dave]

Slight change of plan though, new manifold next week then ill be going S/C

Awaits breaking thread, 2 months after completion

 

[172Ben]

Naaahhhhh, they are very reliable units apparently, and i was sold as soon as i had a go in one

 

[Ian_182]

Ive heard good stories about the fn2's also.

easily charged to 300-320 bhp.Alot of people over on civinfo swear by TDI north...

 

[tel88]

Yeah get it supercharged you won't be disappointed, i had a jrsc on mine it ran 337bhp awesome car.

The noise is unreal with gruppe m.

 

[172Ben]

Is that the powerslot conversion on the front?

Any good?

 

[Philip.]

Great so far!
Ive just got myself a Type R, nearly got a 30th though! How hard is it to fit to Tegiwa M intake? I don't want to f**k up my scuttle panel, flol.

 

[172Ben]

Pretty easy tbh mate, although I got a mate off here to fit as I wasn't confident

 

[Philip.]

Ahh sweet!
Yeah i'm not feeling that confident doing it, but im sure it'll be ok

Jealous of your car tbh, lol. Can't wait to get going on mine now!

 

[172Ben]

I do love the Red Recaros, they are awesome, and it was the main reason I bought it.

You will love it mate, remember they love being thrashed

 

[Philip.]

Yeah that's the one thing I wanted with the 30th, the seats!
Oh and don't worry, it'll get a good hammering now and then.

What's the oil consumption like?

 

[172Ben]

Not to bad, I check every week to make sure, it's used 1 litre since November

 

[Philip.]

Ahh thats not bad!
Cheers for answering all of my questions dude

 

[172Ben]

No worries

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Jackson S/C, Ben?

Cant believe how well the K20 responds to mod's :S

 

[172Ben]

Yeh it'll be a Jackson racing supercharger. Probably won't be until July as I'm going to India next month for 4 weeks with work.

 

[_Tom]

A 240bhp one has to be great fun. Never knew that you could get that power from them. Still not cheap but always good to know!

 

[tel88]

Is that the powerslot conversion on the front?

Any good?

Yes mate had 350mm on the front 300mm on the rear, wicked braking power.

 

[172Ben]

Got back from the ring on Monday, have to say the civic was flawless

Did a 9:06 lap with traffic which I'm happy with considering it's standard apart from cat back and Tegiwa.

Roll on the next mods

 

[Philip.]

Not bad Ben! Not surprised it had no issues :approve:
More mods imminent?

I'm in the process of an airbox mod and bought some HIDs, lol!
Gotta start somewhere

 

[172Ben]

Saving up for a supercharger and manifold next

 

[.Stevo.C.]

Plans sound immense. Ep3's are really growing on me now.
