car made 613whp at 26psi, the fuel system was maxed out at this level. going to be sumping the tank, and running an external fuel pump with -8 an supply line. once i get the fuel system taken care of, we should be ready to turn up the boost, and rev out some more.

little history on the build:

first started the build in july 2005, originally planned on putting the engine in my hatchback, which i decided was way to beat to put it in. bought a coupe in march of last year. installed a 6 point cage, some wilwood brakes, drove out to boston(stock civic engine), and that got stolen and lit on fire. needless to say that set me back a few months in my build process. i found the exact same coupe on ebay and bought it. i was tempted so many times to give up on the build, and just get something more practical. but i pulled through started her up in october. so far ive got around 1000 miles on the setup. i drive to boston and back, parked in a safer location haha. ran very smooth, and i even got 35 miles to the gallon. right now my aem twin fire ignition box fried out, and sent it back under warranty, kinda disappointed because weve been having relatively great weather.

i wouldnt really say that, im not out to beat any one person really. my project started long before brooks was considering building his car.

nope i'm not saying you built it to beat him.. i'm just saying your the only other honda around near his power.. it's just nice to see that a 600 hp civic isn't just a 1 time thing
