kamikaze used to make the best header for a jr charger if you can still find one.

99sidude · 10-17-2007, 12:16 AM

It looks like they are still in business: Kamikaze Performance Products

I'll either get one of thoes, or I can get a Megan Racing header off egay that is a copy of the ITR header with a 2.5" collector. I'm just trying to do some research and make sure the thing won't crack or rust quickly.

researchin · 01-22-2008, 07:53 PM

just fuckin awsome, all in a little over a weekend, damn! great setup, see many more ppl putting turbos on rather than superchargers these days, i dont think ive ever heard the sound of a blower on a civic before!!!!

99sidude · 01-22-2008, 08:50 PM

Thanks for the props! And yes, I love the sound of the blower.

**popeye** · 01-22-2008, 11:07 PM

nice build almost the same as mine. Love it!

BIGJOSEPH · 01-25-2008, 04:27 PM

Thats a nice ass ride man, with the money you put into it was it worth it, i am swapping the b18c1 in my coupe, nice ride

99sidude · 04-21-2008, 01:31 AM

I've posted this in another thread but it might as well be in my build thread:

hatch_kidb18b1 · 06-21-2008, 09:14 PM

so when u raced both the stang and m3 from a dig who was 1st 2nd an 3rd

love the work u put into the beast

99sidude · 06-21-2008, 09:42 PM

I pulled past them around 70 and pulled hard from there. The m3 and the stang were virtually tied. The mustang was superior down low, but the M has better top end.

99sidude · 10-16-2008, 01:22 AM

This is a repost of stuff I posed in the racing section but I might as well add it to my build:

I ran at the track for the first time ever this past September. This was my first time running and it showed. I managed a 13.4 @ 107. This was with 32 psi in the tires, a super conservative tune, stock header, improperly set launch control, and a newb driver. I know the car is easily capable of mid-high 12's.

99sidude · 10-16-2008, 01:29 AM

Here's the video of the night. There are clips of my car mixed in there. Just so you don't have to go through the 6 min video, See my civic at 00:20 for an in car shot against me, 03:00 for the 13.4 run, and 4:00 for an in-car.

After a lot of debating I decided to go with the Kamikaze header instead of a Hytech replica. I found an article on Edyne stating that the Kami is the best for s/c hondas. Its an equal length 4-1 shorty design. I got the 2.5" downpipe in the plain high temp painted finish. $250 bucks aint bad.

When I got the header I wrapped it in some Summit fiberglass header wrap to keep underhood temps down. Man that stuff smokes the first time its heated up.

99sidude · 10-16-2008, 01:47 AM

The collector exit was about 5" too short, and it was lacking an 02 bung. Luckly my test pipe has 2 ports (one for the narrow band, one for the wideband). I bolted the test pipe to the header after modifying it a little, and doing some searching for a donut gasket that would fit.

To make the 5" extension, I extended the catback itself. It was really easy because 2.5" piping from summit slips perfectly over the 60mm piping of my catback. I then sealed everything up with my mig welder. Now the exhaust fits better than it did before.

99sidude · 10-16-2008, 02:12 AM

The butt dyno is showing some amazing gains! I think this shows how much the stock 2" header was choking me down. This is really evident from 4-8k under WOT. I think $/hp this is the best investment made so far. Another trip to the strip should verify this as I think I easily gained a few mph.

The only downside to this is that it made a loud car extremely loud. At idle and part throttle it has a nice toned rumble. Under WOT it screams. All the raspyness from before is gone, it is just deafening, especially when behind the car.

reikoshea · 10-16-2008, 11:31 AM

looks good...im considering getting a very similar project started after the honeymoon.

mid 13s is nothing to shake a stick at.

99sidude · 01-31-2009, 05:03 PM

Time to bump up this thread. I found some nice pics of the hatch on my hard drive. These are all from a small UD car meet I went to.

mdpsEG · 01-31-2009, 05:20 PM

holy crap that thing is a sleeper.... nice work

99sidude · 03-24-2009, 10:24 PM

Last weekend the civic came out from her winter hibernation. I got bored with the 2.25" skunk2 exhaust. I replaced it with a custom 3" exhaust finished with a Spintech Pro-Street muffler. Rather than piece together the bends, I actually got a cheap ebay 3" exhaust for a civic, hacked off the fart can, and welded up the spintech.

Word to the wise, ebay exhausts ARE NOT direct fit. I had to shorten/lengthen every section to make it fit. Here's a nice video comparing the two systems. Let me know which one sounds better.

HatchSpeeD · 03-25-2009, 12:32 AM

Wow back from the dead...everytime I see this car I miss my teal hatch

It's hard to say which "sounds better". I think the 2nd may have sounded better to me...it had a nice low grumble at idle/very low rpms reminiscent of an SRT-4 (dont take offense to that lol) but it screamed on the top end.
Basically it comes down to preference... performance gain over sacrifice of casual driving droning which get's old fast but both of them would do that.

Atleast the 2nd one had a more subtle look which was how my old hatch was, stealthy black muffler vs a fart can.

cjvictoria · 03-30-2009, 10:35 PM

not sure which is better... but i can say it sounds real damn good in the current state.

mdpsEG · 03-31-2009, 08:47 AM

the new 3" exhaust sounds better for sure.... at lower rpms and part throttle its really nice.

99sidude · 06-11-2009, 10:47 PM

Time for an update. Sad to say, but I'm converting the car back to N/A, selling the s/c kit, and the car. Tonight I removed the entire jrsc kit and neatly packeged everything. The only item I'm keeping is the p28 with Hondata S300. The ecu is going to be running my next project: turbo jdm itr ek hatch.

stmotorsports · 06-11-2009, 11:07 PM

one step in the right direction and 2 back? lol

stupid turbos

Eh I've got the power bug. The jrsc let me put down solid power for DD duties, and did so reliably. Now I have a Maxima for a DD, so my fun car can be less sane. I'm shooting for 400whp. My roommate is building a monster 240sx, and my other friend is stuffing a 6.0 in his s10. I need to stay on top.

I decided to go ek for a few reasons. 1. the car I found has a sweet swap. Better than the gsr in the green civ. 2. this ek is rust free. I hate rust no matter how minor. 3. It looks better, and its a much better engineered car.
