Building a 420HP Turbo Civic in My Grandma's Garage (7 Minute Build)

  • I fully built a turbo LS VTEC Civic in my grandma's garage during the winter with no heat. This Turbo Civic was by first serious car project. I went into the Turbo Civic project with almost no prior experience. This Turbo Civic was built in the garage, and on the driveway on jack stands.
    Based on the feedback from my last few videos, I know there are so many of you guys that love this build and wish you could do the same thing. I hope that seeing this car start from nothing and finish as a "clean" little monster is the motivation you guys need. I knew nothing when I started this build. Now I'm ready to take on anything.

      As someone who has lost to a civic before I am not salty at all. That car had to be like 700hp or more. I have a twin turbo 6.0 GMC Sierra pushing about 860hp on half ton axles and a bunch of weight reduction done to it. So I was pretty dang impressed with that civic and how long it probably took that guy to build.

    I've built my first moped in my parents' garden when I was 14. Proceeded to build quite a bit of bikes for my friends there, with no special equipment... Then restored a classic mini and tuned it to 90 bhp (France's legislation, you are not allowed to modify anything so if you do, it has to be stealth so cams, porting, flowing, high CR, bigger valves etc...). Then an E30, then an old CB Twin... once you start, there's no turning back and each time you go a little bit further. Stuff you were reluctant to do a year ago becomes routine. Great feeling right ?
    Awesome video man, it motivates me to take on another project.
