Status: Clean Title I have a 1996 Honda Civic for sale, in Mississauga - Brampton. Asking price is $8,000 OBO This is the Splitfire built Time Trial monster that has been terrorizing time trial events throughout Ontario this session. Its a 1996 Honda Civic EK hatchback. Its the fastest competing front wheel drive solo sprint car in Ontario right now. You will get Z06/Porsche 911/BMW M3 type performance for a fraction of the cost and double the thrills. This is a grass roots motorsport superstar. Asking $8,000. Turbo system alone ran us over $15,000. This car has done 1:35.9 at Mosport on full race slicks, on an open track, will hit the rev limiter in 5th gear on the back straight at 230kph and hold sustained cornering G-force loads in the 2.5 to 2.7G range. This car is just unreal and violent. It has for the entire 2009 Solo Sprint series set the fastest front wheel drive times in every event its competed in. It was the winner of open MOD class in Solo Sprint 2009. It also set the fastest front wheel drive time at the Oct CSCS time trial with a disabled vtec solenoid on a damp track. Its a 1996 Honda Civic CX hatch. Untuned, first run it made 330hp 270ft of torque under min boost wastegate would allow Tuned (present state) it makes 350hp and 290ft of torque Turbo is capable of 550hp easily with increased boost but we dont really see the point since at 350hp with a full Goodyear 430 race slick it already spins tires in 4th gear on turn exit - I believe more power will only make the car harder to drive therefore slower. Over $15,000 spent on a Garret GT30 turbo system in 64 trim? running 10psi boost Splitfire made custom-made solid steel equal length exhaust manifold Headshield on block Front mounted intercooler Splitfire built turbo piping Splitfire built full aircraft grade 2.5 SS exhaust The newly assembled Splitfire installed 2001 2L bottomend mated to a refreshed 1998 b16 head burns no oil and has only 3 events on it new head gasket very fresh Bottomend only runs $800 to replace head around 1000 both are fresh - the last motor we had lasted close to 3 seasons with no major issues ITR throttle body B16 tranny with a $500 Special Projects GearX 4.7 Final drive and $1200 Quaife LSD rebuilt at the beginning of the season with about 7 events on it third to second shift syncro is starting to go but a simple double clutch shift resolves the issue instantly S2 full race suspension 14K front/12K rear S2 rear LCAs S2 adjustable front UCAs Special Projects solid spherical bearings in the rear LCAs Ingrils adjustable rear camber arms New EK LCA with new bushings Dual core double core full aluminum race rad 2L oil cooler with stainless steel piping and ARP fittings APR sandwich plate over $700 in parts Morroso full road race oil pan with a 6 gate road race oil traps and magnetic oil plug holds extra L cost $650 Entire setup runs 7L total oil hold with oil cooler, oil pan and plumbing Thermostat replaced with restrictor plate takes about half a lap to get the engine up to race temp Presently runs 170 degree water temps under full boost even after continuous lapping previous overheating issues have been resolved with the new motor and bigger turbo Lightened stock hood with cooling holes and spacers for improved cooling Flat black front bumper Roof mounted rear airfoil spoiler Interior stripped Half cage bolt-in.

I've been getting some questions so thought I'd answer them here so everyone sees.
The engine is a low mileage stock JDM B20 bottomend bought from a JDM importer, believe we paid 800 for it but they can easily be found in the 500 range. The B16 head has buddy club springs and titanium retainers It's been ported but not to any extreme - it's a 3-angle not a 5 or 7 - the intake and exhaust have been port matched The motor was assembled by Paul at Splitfire. The last B20vtec he built us lasted almost 3 seasons and has been our best engine yet. Hard to beat stock Honda parts really. The nice thing about the B20 is it's from a CRV so not beat on like an ITR or B16s are so quality used units are plentiful and inexpensive. You can't rev them to 9K but makes plenty of power in the low 8Ks. AFR is set to 12:1 - very safe - shifts slightly between 11.7:1 to 12.2:1 depending on RPM. Turned at Splitfire. Engine tune is a P28 chipped ECU - tuned on a Mustang dyno with Chrome software Boost is 10.2 lbs under full boost - it's also the lowest boost setting for our wastegate. I want to say the injectors are 550 but don't really remember. They're Supra size and believe that's a 550. We had upgraded really big ones in there, but the new bigger turbo leaned them out so we went to even stupider sized injectors. They cost a lot and are well under the max duty cycle. Anyway, a lot was spent on it and it's sad to see it go. |

Price drop! $7K OBO.
That's under 25% of what the car cost to build. Part it out and you should get double your money back. |
