Sam's turbo
This car belongs to Sam. When this car came to workshop, everything was wrong... Its an old car afterall but, look at it today, you can tell this ride came a long way.

The amount of effort Sam placed into this car is as good as re-doing every thing all over again from scratch.

The entire suspension system was changed. The Chassis gets all New lower arms, engine mounting are all new. New radiator, New B20B engine, New engine bearings, New humongasaur turbo, New dash board, New Bride seats, New aircon, New sound system... OMG!! New headlights, all piping in engine bay are New! All of them made of silicon. ECU? yes, you've got it... New Hondata ECU.

New clutch system. kekeke... yes, sam spent a bomb doing this car up. New tyres and New 17" rims. After all has been done, he decides to sell it off... crazy bugger...

I had the oppotunity to test this car. After watching sam working days and nights on this ride, finally, when it is ready, I got the first hand experience driving this baby.

Gear 1... Without launching, the turbo kicks in at 3500 rpm. When the turbo kicks in, the car skids!! OMG, gentleman, a fair bit of skills is required here... and let it the rpm find it way to the vtec opening at 5000 rpm. When the Vtec kicks in. The distinctive Vtec pull and buzz makes the rpm swipe the dashboard for a second or so, then Gear 2 engages. The moment the clutch engages, a pump on the accelerator send the 17" wide profile tyres screaming a bit before sprinting forward for another swipe on the RPM. At this rate, this ride is side-by-side with wrx boosting at 1.2 Bars. Bear in mind, this wrx is not a stock wrx, it is rated at 300 bhp. Gear 3, you hold on to the steering wheel, look forward, breath in and step. The car has the tendency to float a little here... OMG... the extremely light chassis plus a huge turbo on a B20B honda vtec engine sure sends your andrenaline pumping! Gear 4. kekeke... s2000 smell smoke mega. Wrx get a slight advantage here due to a better flowing exhaust on the wrx.

OK, back to the drawing board. This ride is using stock EG9 exhaust. A puny rusty exhaust pipe behind. Yes, back to those good old days, where that eye pricking rusty honda exhaust pipe is in fashion. kekeke... With a better exhaust system like powervalve, you can 100% be assured that this ride's gonna pull like no tomorrow... :)

Looking at the boost meter, the turbo is only boost 0.5 bars of boost! We all know that the B20B honda engine is well capable of taking much more boost. But, 0.5 bars of boost on this EG9 is a clear indication of the size of Sam's balls. If it is Fat Boon driving, hahaha... I am sure the bhp will be at least double what sam is doing now... Just before Sam sold his EG9, he wanted to do up the last 2 on his checklist of modification and win a lambo or skyline, then upload it to youtube or somthing.... I guess we'll have to see someone else do that instead.... kekeke

I enjoyed myself driving this Honda, everything is perfect except for the lack of AWD system as seen in Evo and WRX. Nevertheless, this ride is an eye popper. There was once Sam opened his bonnet and another turbo charged esi almost choked when he saw the size of Sam's turbo. Another guy who used to drive integras commented that anyone who has every played Honda, by looking at the height of this engine, you will not want to drive this. Its just too fierce by the looks alone.

Still, we know that there are people out there who dreams of owning car like this and sam have already got people offering to buy his car since the day it was ready.

This ride is a complete make-over. One that can go into discovery channel to show off the amount of work taken to do up this ride... everything he said about how it should be is found on his honda. Overall, I find it a pity to sell this car away, even his worker also felt reluctant to part with such a ride. Again, we never know what sam's thinking... maybe to him its just something he enjoys doing, like masturbating.... who knows...

Once again, I salute this Honda B20B with huge turbo.... mega turbo... you can put your fist into the turbo inlet and shake around... thats how big this turbo is.... coolz...

Potential? Currently, only 50% of what it can achieve.... :) I'll try to get a picture of this ride's engine soon... probably post it by this weekend...

ps:
HDB Prop. asks > is workshop is open to all and specifically highlights a lancer 1.6 glx. Well, workshop is open to all. In fact, the lancer glx is one of the best ride to modify.

A little update on Sam's ride... you see, for me to install a powervalve, I had to wait 3~4 months before sam got the time to install it on my ride... For his own Honda, 2 days.... you see my point. Sometimes, when the thing is yours and you enjoy what you're doing, you can do it almost immediately. :)
