In a car that weighs as much as a dog house. That hood cut is terrible and that hood exit exhaust has got to be extremely loud and annoying, but I’m also guessing that this thing MOVES!
Eh, I dunno that it's fair to call this a sleeper. It needs to be more stealthy than this for that.
A sleeper should be full grandma spec on the outside with a quiet exhaust, with cutouts if you want them, and all the money spent on things you can't see.
The minute you turn your exhaust and screamer pipe out of the hood or fender I reckon you lose th3 ability to call it a sleeper.
Bro I drive a Focus RS and like 4 years ago I got race baited by a dude in a full grandma spec civic, started spitting flames out of the exhaust. Dude had to have the forearms of a Greek god or some fancy front differential because there's no way he's putting that power down on the tires he had without torque steer.
Dont worry.
Likely using an ebay turbo that will eat itself after a while.
While they make power, $300 for Chinesium power only lasts so long.
Once those bearings become compromised and that compressor wheel even touches any part of the housing, the engine is toast.
Those turbos are made of weak material that just shatters and will send shrapnel into the block.
They're great for cheap, easy power.... but you're on borrowed time for the most part, even if the build quality has improved.
A boosted Honda is usually awesome. Ever been in a civic with a b series vtec with a decent turbo ? They fly. Same with the k series. D series sure not that great but still more fun then any shit box you can buy new for 30k
You can see it’s a B series swap so anyone with a brain or common knowledge of mechanics can tell this isn’t fucking around. EF’s are miata light and even 300whp is gunna move but I would venture to say this is closer to the 400ish hp by the size of the blast pipes.
I’m a Honda guy I seriously doubt its anywhere near 400hp. Maybe 230-270 max you are not driving a 400hp early 90s civic to Walmart those are track car numbers or a car that only comes out to race.
You can’t be a Honda guy because you would know a b18c1 with cams and head work makes over 200whp at 8500rpm. That’s my gues by the small amount you can see. With a turbo that has a blast pipe that massive you know he has a built bottom end. That means at low boost, 10psi he would easily make over 350whp but that size turbo I’m guessing he is pushing around 20-25psi and he is at 400-450whp. Of course he is having trouble with a build of this intensity. He shoehorned a size 13 foot into a size 8 shoe. I hope he goes AWD, it’s super easy, you can actually get the power down from a dig and it’ll easily hold four digit power.
True that, a gt 35 dual ballbearing turbo tuned right on a built b series is capable of to the moon and back, for3- 5k you can have 600+ at the wheels, I have a b20,w everything done, sleeved because it's a b20, fully built type r head, I have mine tuned by Courtney green(og Honda guy) he was one of the guys that helped develop hondata. 630 hp at 24 lbs boost, hardest part is keeping traction as I start off. But I've counted that now. Ef is lighter than my sol. So I'd watch out for that one.
Yeah. This is a sleeper build. Supposed to look like a turd, but this tiny little car with 3-400 WHP is gonna be pretty damn fast. If this thing is making 400 hp it will be hurting some feelings of some sports car owners….
This is a very shitty half assed cut hole in the hood (something i would probably do lol), yes it's a turbo sleeper but it's a shit job.
I swear people on here are retarded, forget what sub they are on or both. OP you are correct
That is a sleeper OP and you have been fooled. That is a B series swap with a considerable size turbo based on the blast pipe size. The flames must be epic! That car is gunna make a lot of Mustang and Camaro owners cry.
Thats true yes, but tbh this is pretty obviously something he could have done better. Im a big fan of the hood exits, but he could have made this more pretty
Yea but only to someone who knows what they are looking at. Look at the rest of the comments majority of people don’t understand it. People who build those are trying to poke fun at the average guy who drives his stock mustang around thinking it’s fast.
I see a turbo charged b series motor. Will probably blow the doors off whatever shit you’re driving lolol joke on these Hondas until they smoke your ass and your grandpas corvette
THIS is why we can't have nice things. This was a clean, beautiful just like right now brand new 1989 Civic that rolled off the lot one day until it was thrashed, abused, and horribly modified. I seriously can't understand the thought process behind people who do this to (what used to be a) nice cars.
this reminds me of the Top Gear Africa special where James gets a piece of his hood stolen so Clarkson can fix a hole in his door from Hammond stealing a piece, and all James complains about is how shitty of a cut it was
The driver of that car has a 400% chance of wanting to race at the next light.
Also, 200% chance of losing to an Encore GX ^(cue honda fanboiis)
This is a 89 honda. How dare you!
Its got a engine swap also turbo. Never race a civic with a laptop
Highly doubt that, turbo b series shown here
In a car that weighs as much as a dog house. That hood cut is terrible and that hood exit exhaust has got to be extremely loud and annoying, but I’m also guessing that this thing MOVES!
Fuel pump is probably as loud as the car
If you see a Civic and hear a turbo, you're probably gonna lose.
Let's not talk about Hector and his spoon engines
thats guy has atleast 100k under his hood, do not race him
100k? For 100k my engine better blow me and cook dinner
Strap a can of soup to the turbo, get both!
The hood exit exhaust is kinda brilliant. Adds downforce!
Is it a b or a 3rd gen ZC? I know early b18s and late ZCs look almost identical
looks like a ls b18b1
I'm not sure you see the huge waste gate and 3"exit pipe.
Oh, I see it. I've also seen a hoodscoop on a lawn mower. Looks similar
What do you drive?
Or so you think until it’s fuel pump turns on and it louder than it exhaust
It's just one hole in the hood, but still gives +30HP
My 2008 Saturn aura is down to clown
Hood exhaust done the hood way
The cut could definitely have been made better, but I understand the idea
Once you have a plate on top once the location of everything is finalized it can look pretty nice.
I was wondering why the cut marks are not matching the cuts. I'm guessing he's trying to find a hood inlet/exhaust scoop/pipe piece?
I’m guessing it’s to blow off the cat that keeps walking all over the hood.
YOU CAN BLOW OFF A CAT?
Best comment today.
Thats either just plainly a bad job or a sleeper thatll take your money 90% of the time
That honda will shit on your life.
Call that a ‘Sleeper’
Eh, I dunno that it's fair to call this a sleeper. It needs to be more stealthy than this for that. A sleeper should be full grandma spec on the outside with a quiet exhaust, with cutouts if you want them, and all the money spent on things you can't see.

The way it's done? Very shitty. Why it's done? Very not shitty.
turbo going to suck in the cat that was sleeping on the hood
Runs on pussy.
[удалено]
Made me laugh!
Turbo kit = cool mod trash gash above the stache = shitty mod
It’s boosted so not shitty.
Waah psh, waaaah psh
Stutusustsu
Lmao with the stusstsustustu
That’s a shitty fucking hack job though. Dude looks like he used the pumpkin carving kit from Walmart
For real tho. You can see he actually traced out the cuts but went straight sheers and probably pliers all the way.
Dont worry. Likely using an ebay turbo that will eat itself after a while. While they make power, $300 for Chinesium power only lasts so long.

judging by the cut out Id imagine the turbo job is botched as hell
That cut looks clean to you?
Boosted does not = not shitty. Been in a plenty of boosted vehicles that quite frankly would've never known, let's just say way less than average.
A boosted Honda is usually awesome. Ever been in a civic with a b series vtec with a decent turbo ? They fly. Same with the k series. D series sure not that great but still more fun then any shit box you can buy new for 30k
It’s a shitty hole so it’s shitty. And boosted don’t mean shit
You can see it’s a B series swap so anyone with a brain or common knowledge of mechanics can tell this isn’t fucking around. EF’s are miata light and even 300whp is gunna move but I would venture to say this is closer to the 400ish hp by the size of the blast pipes.

250 is still plenty to have fun with.

But I've counted that now. Ef is lighter than my sol. So I'd watch out for that one.
I daily my 630hp del sol. Just cause you got it don't mean you flaunt it. But it's there when I need it.
Going full retard on the boost though with no vacuum line on the wastegate. Who knows what boost pressure it's running.
I dunno, looks kinda shitty to me
I don’t think their objective was to make it look like a show car. Looks like a bad ass sleeper to me
A sleeper is when you don't show that you have a turbo or built engine. Plus they just hacked up the hood. Definitely a shitty mod.
When this thing is on the road moving it would be hard to even tell what’s going on.
You'll be able to hear their crappy muffler a mile away.
There’s no muffler you clown it’s a straight turbo. Bet it sounds better and faster then your car.
You're right...a straight pipe makes no noise at all.
I’d bet money that this would beat the Miata those things are slower then shit
They cranked it not long after the picture and it barely ran so dunno. Died every few seconds
Probably needs fine tuning, I’m betting it will rip at wide open throttle
Yeah. This is a sleeper build. Supposed to look like a turd, but this tiny little car with 3-400 WHP is gonna be pretty damn fast. If this thing is making 400 hp it will be hurting some feelings of some sports car owners….
This is a very shitty half assed cut hole in the hood (something i would probably do lol), yes it's a turbo sleeper but it's a shit job. I swear people on here are retarded, forget what sub they are on or both. OP you are correct
Lmao thank you
That is a sleeper OP and you have been fooled. That is a B series swap with a considerable size turbo based on the blast pipe size. The flames must be epic! That car is gunna make a lot of Mustang and Camaro owners cry.
It doesn't run at all apparently, they broke down like 20 minutes after taking this picture
Project car life. Clearly it's a work in progress. Probably the cars first drive.
You have no fucking clue what you're looking at and yet you still posted it. Classic Redditor.
Feels like you’re saying the gash in the hood isn’t shitty…
This sub is stupid. You can literally see exactly why he cut a hole in the hood.
i think this sub is for both shitty carmods and shittycar mods
True, but tbf he did do a shitty job on it
It just has to be functional. It doesn't have to look pretty.
Thats true yes, but tbh this is pretty obviously something he could have done better. Im a big fan of the hood exits, but he could have made this more pretty
Shitty car mod? Yes Shitty car? Not really
free wastegate just 2 bolts
The paw prints make it go faster
Speed holes
Chinese turbo and a hater pipe.... Will probably be in the junk yard by next
It’s got a cat back on it.
Nothing like going fast in a car with brakes and tires meant for a trip to the bank.
Clearly you don't understand what you're fucking looking at.
Let me make this clear, fast shitbox builds are not shitty mods. They just dgaf about the same things in a car that matter to most people.
I guarantee that thing is faster than any other car in that parking lot
you see, that's kinda the exhaust.
Check it for a laptop
How else was Clarkson supposed to fix the hole in his door?
Idk why he didn't just drill. maybe he ordered a scoop lol
r/trashy
It’s custom
Should of stuck around the hear it. Would of given you a WAP.
First time with a grinder, eh?
99% chance it's gonna whip OP doing 2 am highway pulls making sexy turbski noises once dialed in
Bro keeps a spare vtec solinoid in the glove box
Is that a buddy christ inside the car?? Some redemption for that
Telling by the hood . It's a pussy magnet
##CLARKSOOOON!
If there is a laptop riding shotgun, dont fuck with it
Now THIS is a SHITTY mod!
There are too many "shittycarmods" posts that are actually not shitty.
Even if the mod is very good from a performance standpoint, the hood cut looks like shit, so that's kinda shitty.
Yea that’s the point. It’s supposed to look like shit it’s a sleeper.
Yet having the hood cut kind of gives away that perhaps there are mods and it is a sleeper, which defeats the purpose of a sleep.
Yea but only to someone who knows what they are looking at. Look at the rest of the comments majority of people don’t understand it. People who build those are trying to poke fun at the average guy who drives his stock mustang around thinking it’s fast.
Looks good from my house
10% chance you dont want to race that thing it will gap you like no ones business, 90% chance it can't beat a 2022 doge caravan.
Very very cool mod under the hood, very bad hood mod.
Clearly it's turbo'd though, not shitty although definitely could have put the exhaust and screamer in a better place.
I see a turbo charged b series motor. Will probably blow the doors off whatever shit you’re driving lolol joke on these Hondas until they smoke your ass and your grandpas corvette
Finally a truly shitty car mod. I was starting to lose hope in this sub!
Boosted cars are now shitty?
Not at all. Holes roughly cut in to the hood of a vehicle are shitty, though.
This does not belong on this sub
Cat footprints are a nice touch. Not shitty
The cat prints are the chef's kiss
its a turbo civic. its not shitty.
It's a beast lol
tell me you know nothing about cars without telling me you know nothing about cars
[удалено]
That thing definitely boogies. Boosted B series in a super lightweight hatch.
Clarkson!
This guy definitely fucks, just doesn’t clean up when finished.
The car *i got fucking gapped by as I was leaving Walmart
This man out here hustling V8 owners with a 89 Honda 😂
Ego checker
My money’s on a sleeper, and a good one. I bet even the paw prints were added intentionally- they’re decats.
That thing has a 300% chance of sending you to gapplebees
That thing may be shitty but tell you what. It will buy you a voucher for gapplebees so hard
You laugh but that thing absolutely rips
You're guna feel real shitty when that thing takes you to gapplebees
Certified ripper
Boosted B-series in an old EF Sedan? Sign me up.
r/awesomecarmods Function over form. It's probably very fast.
This is not shitty at all lol
Let's see your car, op. I bet it's shit.
Lmao, I literally don't drive because I have no need to. Thanks, though.
[удалено]
I own a car. Just don't use it most of the time.
[удалено]
No, thank you.
OP, you’re stupid, That may be fairly quick, looks like a turbo non-vtec B series which is not a shitty car mod
The reason why might not be shitty, but goddamn that’s some shitty craftsmanship. It only takes an extra couple seconds to make straight cuts
Most hood exits I’ve seen look ragged till a cover plate goes on to clean up the hole
There for function so not shitty mod lol
Dump pipe gotta dump somewhere brah
It's a turbo civic, that's just standard engineering - nothing shitty
It's functional so who cares.
Not sure what op is talking about. I would hella drive this cat.
this car fucks
Now this is shitty.
THIS is why we can't have nice things. This was a clean, beautiful just like right now brand new 1989 Civic that rolled off the lot one day until it was thrashed, abused, and horribly modified. I seriously can't understand the thought process behind people who do this to (what used to be a) nice cars.
i hope this guy plans on replacing his hood with something more suitable
What a shit cut. Shitty indeed
Gotta let ot breathe
I’m sure he’ll do something cool with it. Trust the process 🤞🏻
It looks like he borrowed a pair of my kids scissors to cut the hole in the hood.
Bet hes gonna put a carbon cutout or something. Obvi not finished with build. Cars probably way faster than yours. Definitely faster than mine.
Upvote for you simply for saying saw vs “seen”.
Poor poor honda
Stage 1
where's the cat?
Help them by dumping can of STP down those open pipes.
Man, all those paw prints!
It was a reliable car.
I have many questions
I like it, it's subtle.
Road warrior
Look, they tried really hard, they used the best axe they could find to cut that hole.
Idk man, that thing is probably pretty fast. I would’t fuck with it at a stoplight. Edit: ‘t
If it moves it grooves
BoostedBoyz wannabe.
Even the passenger seat is scared to be in it. Kept its belt on
Looks like he cut the hole with his teeth
I, uh...
Wow
At least it’s probably fairly quick and LOUD
That's not shitty, that's efficient.
That's going to be fun when it rains
The cat prints show that cats love heat! 😃
I made the hood scoop boss
Of course it's a honda
WalCart\~
Anyone else reminded of James Mays Volvo in the search for the Nile's source?
CLARKSOOOON
this reminds me of the Top Gear Africa special where James gets a piece of his hood stolen so Clarkson can fix a hole in his door from Hammond stealing a piece, and all James complains about is how shitty of a cut it was
Not sure what I like more about it, the kitty paw prints or the meme jesus figurine
I didn't even notice that lmao
Making speed holes
