Incredibly Primitive form of Turbo!? That's pretty crazy though. I enjoyed their editing on the video.

Also note that particular year of Civic SI is supposed to have 170hp. 138 at the wheels! weak... usually FWD doesn't have that much drivetrain loss. That's actually about the same power loss as an L28 in a Z.

Yes they offer non SI. The very first thing that video displays is 05 CIVIC SI
maybe they lie though...

I believe the "S.i." they were reffering to in this case was "Shitty Import"

^ Touche. Didn't catch the Si part. I was too affixed on the idea of my Dad's Craftsman leaf blower boosting my Zed.

If you're using Internet Explorer, it should work fine. If you're using Firefox, use IE.

Or just dl the latest Windows Media Player [v9 for 98, v10 for XP].

WOW.. How bout someone just gets an air compressor and taps a hose into each runner on the intake manifold.. (air would already be compressed, no need for turbo)
