@Fukurtech Censorship fairenuf. I love itrs over ctr but have driven both on windy roads and the itr is slightly more rear end unstable just because it has a bit more weight past the rear wheels. But that's just my opinion.
Tommys really come a long way. I’ve been watching since his red s12 giveaway and to see how far he’s come is crazy. “It’s not as fast as the GTR, but it’s not about that” i’m glad he’s been able to both and watching it feels like history being made. From a perfectly put together 485 hp Godzilla to the white on white like baby powder Slicktop or the perfectly balanced k-miata and now a Civic type R? This man knows no boundaries and it shows. Zinc plated bolts, under the hood decals, radio deletes all in the name of OEM+. I didnt even know period correct was a thing until l watched these videos. Tommy has easily cemented himself as a top content creator in my opinion. Somebody give this man his flowers.
"You and I are in a CTR" Big Dream moment Such a big change from slinging parts out of the chop shop days. Fucking awesome that you can take both those Hot hatches to Limerock and let them rip
Smart move picking up a future classic. The ctr is a beast on the track for what it is. Enjoy it as is and make a build series with it. See what it can beat on track as is. Then boost it and see what it compares to then. There fun cars. Defiently loving the honda content lately.
I used to have an eg hatch CX with a JRSC GSR with type r internals and type r transmission that pulled really hard, really regret getting rid of that one, but now I have a 93 Si hatchback with full Si-R b16a swap that is very similar to the giveaway car. I would say put the JRSC on the ek9 personally, but you probably have other ideas for it
So here are some numbers to argue about; We have “stock” 1996 EK9 weight as 2315-2360lbs, variance is due to the different EK9 sub options and dealer add ons you could get. The “stock” USDM 1995 EH3 has a curb weight of 2360-2491 lbs, again depending on what factory options were selected upon order. As for the engines, the original D16z6 weighs 310-330lbs and the B16a2 was 309-320lbs so they’re about the same there. When it all comes down to it, the EK9 and the Fyeah-Spec EH3 are going to be such a good head to head match up but I think the EK9 will take it.
That is one of my favorite cars ever and I'm not remotely a Honda guy. I'm actually really stoked you got it because I know it'll be done right, awesome job.
JR chargers on a b16 will probably get you to around 200wheel. That being said I think it needs to go on the ek, cause the open dif of the si is gonna kill the feel
The ek9 was never meant to be road fast, but in the right hands on track, could be made to be fast, it handles like nothing else, turns unbelievably and the art of driving the car quick on track is keeping it in that v-tec and that’s where the driver comes in. 😁
If you're going supercharged, might as well utilize modern tech and op for the kraftwerks kit. More reliable, more power and easier to service if/ when necessary.
I’m super glad that your a Honda boi at heart cuz I am too 😂 those Honda’s just make me smile, I’m also glad your the one working on them. You do automotive performance and basically Resto-OEM+ the right way ! Congratulations on how far you’ve come Tommy 🥳 🎉
Tommy, im so glad you're doing so good in business, so glad I've watched u since day 1 and you've grown so much and literally have the best automotive channel out there, hope we have vids for more years to come you're honestly a sick RUclips, No homo
From personal experience it goes . B18c b18 b16b b16a . B18 and b16b are basically dead level . That's drag racing though so tracks will be chassis dependent
Just wake this car up a little, keep it NA, cams, a ECU tweek, balanced crank and light flywheel. maybe even high comp pistons and E95. The b16b is a great engine
Yes supercharge it, you don't need a twin disk, that's overkill. ACT HD PP with a Organic Disk or 6 puck sprung. Hondata is ok, but I would take a Haltech Elite over it any day. I make 600whp in my ITR with a single disk, not sure why they did that to it.
Got mad love for this generation ITR and CTR but people forget what it was like at the time they came out and compare them to modern cars or anything K swapped. And that’s a whole different beast.
B16b in the Ek9 is pretty much the same motor as the b18c. B16b blocks are the same length as b18c as with the other b16 they are concerned “short blocks”. The Ek9 should do pretty well up against the eg
if you're gonna do the Jackson Racing supercharger look into intercooling it like youngstatic on yt did recently, LHT has been known to modify the JRSC for a long time too. the IATs go through the roof on a full 1-4 pull. E85 helps and water meth too but it's kinda a hassle. ben can easily modify the manifold with a finned aluminum water tube.
I ABSOLUTELY despise the fact that this landlord made my life impossible 6 months ago I had to let go my beautiful k24 dc2 integra , had to take a little hit on it , and this k swapped type r reminds me of it so much !! Tommy is a true honda boy at heart , dont let em fool you :p haha.
i think small turbo for the civic type r, make it look absolutely as stock as possible and almost n/a type power delivery. make it look like it had a turbo from factory and shoot for like 250 wheel i think would be exactly what you want
Awesome car Tom. I had seen that car in their driveway a couple times and was drooling over it. I live literally across the street, my house is in the video. They are dynoing cars constantly and it's a good possibility I heard them dynoing that car! They Dyno cars til like midnight sometimes, even on Sundays (Sundays is actually a common day they do dynos). They had a sweet a R35 a few months back (The shops only been open like a year), but it had an ugly green wrap.
Ek9 has been my dream track car for about 15 years now but never got the opportunity to own one as in the Uk there going for big big money. So bought the ep3 type R instead
Wow that's a real minter EK9 and what mods it has are nice. The interior is mint. Can't get over the great condition of the Recaros. Nice one and congrats on finally getting your dream Civic. 😁They're going for a pretty penny these days. I would say though, having a fair few miles in both a EK9 R and DC2(JDM) the DC2 is definitely the quicker of the two. The EK is seam welded in places, the DC2 isn't contrary to interwebs lore. Both have the LSD and damn near identical everything else. Maybe the USDM Acura R because of slightly lower powered engines is the difference? Fantastic handling is on a par. The dry weight isn't so different either, at least on the JDM ones(depending on the option deletes). The EK9 is more frenetic as you really have to row the gears to get it moving because of the 200cc fewer ponies. Tthe best example of an EK9 I drove was completely standard/stock, but had a B18c instead of the B16. Instantly noticable difference. It was a factory yellow one too. Rare as rocking horse droppings.
I OWN AND DAILY AN S2K…….at the end of the day as a “honda boi” I would rather have my S2K than any type r unless its the NSX-R the EK and Teggy Type r are super normal not very fast the only thing that makes them special is the type r badge other than that they drive like any other ek or teggy in the fleet… I also own a b20vtec thats fully built rods pistons with a type r b16a head has skunk2 pro cams ti valves and retainers and much more, Tommy would love it has 230hp na lol and honda doesnt make b20vtec motors they are franken motors you have to build and its very worth the fun lol cheers glad to see some honda content
I would keep the ek9 N/A. With your budget you should make it a spoon ek9 short ratio gear box, spoon steering wheel, gear knob, spoon mirrors, wing, front lip, spoon suspencion, spoon wheels, spoon brakes, spoon engine upgrades etc.... that would actually increase the value
That's cool and all but honestly, don't you think Spoon catalog builds have been done enough? Don't get me wrong. Spoon makes amazing parts but it's such a cliche at this point to see this type of build.
@@brittonwritespoetry i get your point but there arent many out there and not many have done it right plus it will be a track monster and will run forever without issues. And like i said the car will actually increase in value so much over the years
Knowing Tommy though, it's not long before he's modded this EK9. Besides as it is,it's not stock anymore. There's already a slew of Spoon parts on it along with the meaty TE37s. He said in the video he's gonna hurt some feelings soon.
I got into these a few days ago and now i really want one. I already know its the right decision. Ima do it when i find the right one. Just a chill daily for me but aint gonna see but 10k mi a yr if that.
Bro ek9 is easily one of the best Honda’s ever made. So hyped to see you getting some Honda’s in the fleet
Nice b series turbo
He has an itr to tho
@@jaskarankhosa8157 thanks man it used to be my baby. I sold it unfortunately
@Fukurtech Censorship chassis wise the ctr is better from stock.
@Fukurtech Censorship fairenuf. I love itrs over ctr but have driven both on windy roads and the itr is slightly more rear end unstable just because it has a bit more weight past the rear wheels. But that's just my opinion.

ya he really does it better than almost every other youtuber, with the details and jdm knowledge. he is in deep jdm space
Tommy : “You and I are in a CTR”
Me looking around while on the toilet confused
😂
1 ride in his eg now he's just buying crazy shit 🤣🤣
Supercharged Honda's always sound so sick.
Hell yeah supercharger
@@rodneykeene5558 had a buddy with a d16 with a Jackson SC. The thing just screamed.
uh huh lol i bet all 160hp was screamin
@@kaikai312 You know the supercharger adds more HP right? Lmao

"You and I are in a CTR" Big Dream moment

I heard he was just slinging parts for Harry back in the day.
Tommy's a real automotive enthusiast man I love it, guy knows what's cool.
Besides the NSX type-r, this is the best Honda ever.
S2k?
@@attacklifeuk I was about to say
S2k is definitely right after the NSX.
Man I’m so hyped for the Honda builds here
With the Acura Integra Type R and now the EK9 Civic Type R this is just poggers
Big Pog moment
Man it’s not about the speed just fucking look at it I love the 90’s honda
I love the Honda content. Everybody loved Honda’s at some point. Good buy papa Tom!
Jackson super charger on the si would be sick!
Smart move picking up a future classic. The ctr is a beast on the track for what it is. Enjoy it as is and make a build series with it. See what it can beat on track as is. Then boost it and see what it compares to then. There fun cars. Defiently loving the honda content lately.
Nice purchase 👌
Wanted an ek9 R for about 15 years
They are so expensive now in the uk £20k+ for a tidy one
Same. All classic JDM cars in the UK make me want to cry.
The b16b is actually a destroked b18c motor to have a better piston speed ratio .it's a taller b16 engine
I used to have an eg hatch CX with a JRSC GSR with type r internals and type r transmission that pulled really hard, really regret getting rid of that one, but now I have a 93 Si hatchback with full Si-R b16a swap that is very similar to the giveaway car. I would say put the JRSC on the ek9 personally, but you probably have other ideas for it
RUclips is the best. I get to live vicariously through Tommy buying and owning a ctr. I don’t think I have a car I’ve lusted over more than a ek9
So here are some numbers to argue about;
We have “stock” 1996 EK9 weight as 2315-2360lbs, variance is due to the different EK9 sub options and dealer add ons you could get.
The “stock” USDM 1995 EH3 has a curb weight of 2360-2491 lbs, again depending on what factory options were selected upon order.

When it all comes down to it, the EK9 and the Fyeah-Spec EH3 are going to be such a good head to head match up but I think the EK9 will take it.
Supercharger has to go in the Si. The Type R deserves to stay stock.
That is one of my favorite cars ever and I'm not remotely a Honda guy. I'm actually really stoked you got it because I know it'll be done right, awesome job.
Tommys smile while ripping the ITR is priceless!!!! 😆😆😆😆 Sonic203 shop is straight fire! I love passing by there .
Ek9 looks awsome! Such an iconic timeless classic. As for being slow, It will be compared to the boosted big BHP cars you have owned.
When he said "You and I are in a CTR" it HIT MY FEELS HARD AHAHAHA
JR chargers on a b16 will probably get you to around 200wheel. That being said I think it needs to go on the ek, cause the open dif of the si is gonna kill the feel
Seeing Tommy and Sonic come together might be the greatest thing ever for the car community lol
The ek9 was never meant to be road fast, but in the right hands on track, could be made to be fast, it handles like nothing else, turns unbelievably and the art of driving the car quick on track is keeping it in that v-tec and that’s where the driver comes in. 😁
The eg is like 2100lbs and the ek9 is around 2400lbs I believe. I had an itr swapped ek and man did that thing rip! Was tons of fun
I know you want a Gen 2 NSX and everything but we're getting to the point where you need a NSX Type-R or S-Zero in the fleet.
If you're going supercharged, might as well utilize modern tech and op for the kraftwerks kit. More reliable, more power and easier to service if/ when necessary.
Agreed. There is another supercharger as well. It came as a factory option and mounts in the front.
Super stoked to see what's to come with this EK9, this seems like the keeper Honda so far!
Matches the R32 in some top tier trim type of way.
I say leave the SI alone. It’s super clean how it is and a great starting canvas for someone to do what they want to it.
EK9 Type R is my favorite Honda love the content keep it up
The jackson supercharger is cool. It heat soaks and doesn't make a ton of power. For 5k just not worth the cost.
Why do you have a strict rule to not go for rides? lol
I’m super glad that your a Honda boi at heart cuz I am too 😂 those Honda’s just make me smile, I’m also glad your the one working on them. You do automotive performance and basically Resto-OEM+ the right way ! Congratulations on how far you’ve come Tommy 🥳 🎉

The EK9 just had the best shape out of all civics imo :O
From personal experience it goes . B18c b18 b16b b16a . B18 and b16b are basically dead level . That's drag racing though so tracks will be chassis dependent
Tommy really taking advantage of having a master Honda tech hell ya
Congrats awesome pickup! And you gotta bring the Evo to RADwood and Limerock, that thing is so awesome.
Love the ek9, showing (sonic203) some love visiting his shop!
I vote for keeping that EK stock it’s such a piece of history
the Honda content is 🔥 killing it !! Supercharge it…I’m a Honda fan boi myself can’t wait to see what you do with the CTR
Just wake this car up a little, keep it NA, cams, a ECU tweek, balanced crank and light flywheel. maybe even high comp pistons and E95. The b16b is a great engine
90’s Hondas simplicity makes them beautiful. No bullshit, just car.
It would be cool to see a VVL Primera in the future. Love the Hondas though
Been waiting for you to buy a EK9 for years! A car I've dreamed of owning since I was 16. I'm glad one of us could get one. Congrats.
Yes supercharge it, you don't need a twin disk, that's overkill. ACT HD PP with a Organic Disk or 6 puck sprung. Hondata is ok, but I would take a Haltech Elite over it any day. I make 600whp in my ITR with a single disk, not sure why they did that to it.
Man I love the 90’s Honda’s they are just so good!
I daily my DC2R and it's fantastic. Lightened flywheel and upgrading the intake are essential tho, really wakes the car up
I think we need to see an NSX or 2 on the channel. Would love to see a sick nsx build from you
Got mad love for this generation ITR and CTR but people forget what it was like at the time they came out and compare them to modern cars or anything K swapped. And that’s a whole different beast.
B16b in the Ek9 is pretty much the same motor as the b18c. B16b blocks are the same length as b18c as with the other b16 they are concerned “short blocks”. The Ek9 should do pretty well up against the eg
Im a big v8 chop loving caveman and that integra sounds fuckin mean
Please do lap times of the ctr, itr, and si. Would be cool to see the 3 of em put down some times

I ABSOLUTELY despise the fact that this landlord made my life impossible 6 months ago I had to let go my beautiful k24 dc2 integra , had to take a little hit on it , and this k swapped type r reminds me of it so much !! Tommy is a true honda boy at heart , dont let em fool you :p haha.
My ek9 was a beast from a line , full bolt on , would surprise many people ! Dope
I just want to keep watching.The ending of these videos just get you pumped ready for the next one hahaha
Ktuned coilovers have adjustable 31 or 32 way dampening, I have them on my car really great. Uses little allens on the top of the coils to adjust
I’ve got a k swap ek and it’s so reliable and balanced, perfect for track use and done 10k miles since may using it daily
You need to read the ek9 Brochure .the whole thing has no seam sealer and it's welded stiff .it's lighter for sure than the eg
Ek9 is 🔥 that Integra sounds sick with that supercharger
It’s b16 but b16b is way better than b16a, CTR PFL in silver is the dream
Having old vibes from my yellow 5 lug ek. The ctr is going to walk the itr just due to gearing alone. Best tans is the b16b trans
Damnnn hearing that k20 ITR really makes me want to supercharge my FA5, without that crazy loud of an exhaust though lol.
thats the most high pitched supercharger ive ever heard
superchargers make all the right noises combine it with straight cut gears and you are in heaven
Holt shit! I'm from western Mass and I just found your page, I cant believe there is a community this big so close to me
Tommy you need to experience a real built turbo Honda, 600+ fwd is insane, my car spins a 23.5” street radial to 100mph but pulls the whole way there
High compression engine build with Toda ITBs would be sick for ek9
supercharge the ek9. because like you said, you just got the eg done, so it'd just make sense to put it on the ek.
The cx Canadian model eg i believe is the lightest of the bunch, si being on the heavier side due to the sunroof option
i think small turbo for the civic type r, make it look absolutely as stock as possible and almost n/a type power delivery. make it look like it had a turbo from factory and shoot for like 250 wheel i think would be exactly what you want
I love the ek9 but the only thing I really don't like, and it is easily changed, is that yellow rocker cover.
Bro i just want that civic for my 16th birthday
I love these "Honda boy days"
Leave the si alone, it's perfect how it is. Jackson Racing Supercharge the CTR or swap a FK8 CTR K20C1 into the EK9.
Epic purchase congrats. That b16b is something else put a b16b head on my a2 and what a difference it made!

Ek9 has been my dream track car for about 15 years now but never got the opportunity to own one as in the Uk there going for big big money. So bought the ep3 type R instead
Dude that thing is minty!! Jackson supercharger the EK9. You built it right you should get to 260-300hp and weigh is like 2300-2400lbs
J Roc and sonic !!!!!! Such super chill guys
If you get the b16 Jackson racing supercharger, don’t under drive it, they work great if you get a complete kit and use the right belt
I would throw some compression in it 13:1 e85 diet 4piston head and send it off the tachometer, supercharge it later
Please keep the EK9 N/A, that's how they're supposed to be. go for an ITB setup and do it justice
Literally a smile on my face the whole video. Idk if I even blinked 😂
that type r, the nsx's..mannnnnn so clean
Congrats on the car… that guy that’s driving the itr is my favorite street racer hands down that guy is a absolute driver 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
eg si's are 2400. ctr should be around there too since they come factory with so sound dendining and lighter windows
Wow that's a real minter EK9 and what mods it has are nice. The interior is mint. Can't get over the great condition of the Recaros. Nice one and congrats on finally getting your dream Civic. 😁They're going for a pretty penny these days.
I would say though, having a fair few miles in both a EK9 R and DC2(JDM) the DC2 is definitely the quicker of the two. The EK is seam welded in places, the DC2 isn't contrary to interwebs lore.

An EK9 needs to be BONE stock. Also not sure what that guy is on about, the ITR is a lot faster, at least the JDM iteration is.
Knowing Tommy though, it's not long before he's modded this EK9. Besides as it is,it's not stock anymore. There's already a slew of Spoon parts on it along with the meaty TE37s. He said in the video he's gonna hurt some feelings soon.
A teggy type r and a civic type r.. two of my dreams. An NSX would put me over
There is an old Best Motoring with the Spoon EG vs the stock EK9. The EK9 dominated.
Papa Tom need at least one supercharged K swapped Civic. And the Awd gray one i think it's perfect.
