Sleeper Civic Lives again! ( 500hp Turbo D16 SEDAN! )

we don't know why it doesn't run good dave how you doing today just uh you know helping trav with his mice oh yeah hi guys so today is the day we're pulling out the sleeper civic i've had it in the container for a little while probably about two years a year and a half it's been a long time so this is how uh this is a 40-foot container and we had three cars in here at one time had adam's s13 some other stuff right here but in order to get three cars basically had to pull up the back of this thing and pull the nose under the other one so these straps have been holding on good for a couple years now so now we just got to figure out how we're going to lower it down and get it out and see this thing will fire up and move itchy we got it down so what i did is this is like an extension for the two post lift just stuck it on the end of that went to the pinch weld lowered it down a little bit put some more tension lowered it down a bit eventually got it to right here so here's our final final lower this is the first time this has been on the ground in probably a year and a half or two years it's been it's been a while so i'm gonna go ahead throw the jump box on it i need to plug in a different ecu to it throw a tune on it probably go ahead and put some air in the tires roll it out back or roll it outside of the container and see if this thing starts alright guys so we got out of the container the jump box is hooked up to it we got the hondata plugged in i loaded up a tune on it turn on the ecu look at that hold on oh man the tps was working here let's data log real quick let's give that the click look at that we got tps we got map sensor we got it how you doing coolant temp you think it's gonna start i don't have anything [Music] come on oh you have uh oh look at that [Music] buddy that's it huh freaking sleeper civic is back up and ripping oh yeah just what a majestic creature look at him just working with that cigarette in his mouth hi guys so the i got the air fuel gauge right here that i'm getting ready to put back in here uh o2 sensor and all that stuff because we robbed it out of it a long time ago and then i have uh this custom custom boost gauge i think this is the longest this is the oldest boost gauge i've owned i like your b16 no this was in my truck like forever a long time ago but when we put this in the mercedes this thing's gonna get maxed out probably like all the way like all the way around come back around to itself probably so we're gonna throw the wideband in here real quick tied to the acu blake ran to the store real quick to grab a new battery seance fits in over there we're gonna save this thing after you guys so this guy has a brand new battery in it i went ahead hooked up the wide band sensor ran it through there i don't have the boost gauge hooked up yet but it is uh it is officially mounted in here we'll make sure this thing works means my wiring is good crank it up come on oh you oh there we are brand new go play with this thing real quick make sure the map sensor and everything's reading we're having a bunch of issues with it last time we had it out where it just wasn't reading so he has the shortest short throw shifter ever i'm gonna play with some stuff and then we'll go test drive it and see if it's see if the ecu fixed it so last time we drove this thing out if i could find a video it literally just went lean super super lean i too stepped in a parking lot and then it never ran the same sense and we've checked the timing we've checked the compression checked the valve lash we've literally checked everything whoever owned this car before i think they let me know what you guys think that is that's some sort of flower some sort of flower this is 100 throttle it's like no boost like vtec is even engaging and it does it's the sleeper civic you're gonna have to jump out so ridiculous ridiculous look at this we don't know why it doesn't run good why is it not making it like like it means no booze the turbo is good there's no oil what it's like it's like a post turbo filter hey at least you don't know rocks you went into the engine yeah it's like a filter it's like an intercooler filter so i literally just got off the phone with brent from pfi speed and i was like hey why is this thing not doing that he's like was there like an intercooler is there like a rag in the intercooler or anything like that so i don't know when that rag made its way into the intercooler like i said i was just on the phone with brent and he was like was there like a rag or something stuck in the intercooler because i was like it seems like you give it 100 throttle it gives you like five percent and then i was like it feels like it doesn't make any vac like it still has a vacuum on it he's like well there has to be a restriction on it he's like is there like a rag in the intercooler or something like that so then we freaking pulled the intercooler off there it was there she was the rag just sitting right in there so now i guess let's go rip it uh these injectors are 850cc injectors so we'll kind of keep it uh keep it on the low as far as boost wise but we should be able to roll into it and uh it actually makes some power now you have on a controller just on spring all right i think we're back oh man i can't believe this thing sat in the container for like almost a year because there was a freaking rag stuck in the inner corner i was so mad at this thing i just wanted to get rid of it you almost sold it too cheap too i was gonna sell it like super cheap because i couldn't figure it out foreign [Music] oh my god [Music] are back what should i do with this thing now give it away um it's nice to grip up in third third gear that's where it's like spinning but gripping at the same time all right guys so that is the sleeper civic we have the bumper we have a hood way up there somewhere plans are to get this thing basically looking like a sleeper so i want to modify this intercooler scoot it over get it kind of centered play with the intercooler piping do the the downpipe and everything for the turbo and then we actually have a two and a half inch like cut out exhaust like an electronic cutout and this thing has a full exhaust on it too just an oem like the little peashooter thing that comes out the back so we have that little thing so essentially when you start this thing and you're cruising it around you could just have it on the old uh stock exhaust and then right after you know if you want to do a pull we could have it on an electronic switch or whatever basically it'll just open up the exhaust and then it's kind of straight piped essentially with a dump down underneath the car somewhere pretty stoked on this thing i seriously cannot believe that there was that stupid rag in there i think for some reason we had the intercooler off or we had the turbo off of it and then we put another turbo back on it but we had a rag stuffing in the intercooler to keep the dust out of it and then now it rips now it rips that's the first time you've been in a turbo honda in what like five years probably well other than that oh yeah i give you right in that one yeah so but yeah there she is well that is it we successfully brought back the sleeper civic uh look forward to some more content with this over the next couple of of weeks we have a lot of stuff to do we're gonna try to get this thing painted hopefully by the end of this week we're gonna get this thing prepped for the cletus and cars and then figure out something to do with this but um i don't know see you later [Music] you
