      @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.

I would say put the JRSC on the ek9 personally, but you probably have other ideas for it

    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

  • @ghosteh6503
    @ghosteh6503 3 года назад +1

    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.

    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.

    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. 😁

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.
