Flirting with boost? A Civic Engagement...

The Honda Civic has been the iconic import performance vehicle in the United States for the last 10 years. The 8th Generation civic, equipped with a 2.0 litre i-vtec 192 horsepower engine is no different than it's predecessors and properly represents the 'hot hatch' segment of the automotive market. 


Rotorex's infamous partners TTS (based in the UK and who I've covered before for their development of several Rotrex based supercharged motorcycles) have come forth and delivered the a great application of the Rotrex Supercharger for the 8th Generation Civic.

The supercharger kit comes complete with a cold airbox, intake plumbing, supercharger mounting bracket, and a front mount air to air intercooler.... 

With basic performance bolt ons, water injection, and this supercharger kit, the 8th generation Civic is happy to deliver a healthy 350 wheel horsepower at a manageable 12psi of boost (once you dial out the 2psi of exhaust backpressure by reducing camshaft overlap)
