Wow, you are going all out!! Just curious, why not start with a better platform that can handle more power, like the Si or better yet, the Type R?

Also, never expected to see another Creeker on here.

Horny toad bucket of fried chicken...am I right?!?! I went to ASU back in the 90's, now I only visit once ever 3-5 years. But each trip still involves a trip to cave creek.

You know the engine and turbo are same as an Si.

Only difference for us is the Si LSD and Si cam and fuel pump those are all changed on ours and the trans has a full PPG 1-4 so no trans issues

Oh, I thought the internals were stronger in the Si. I could be mistaken, wouldn't be the first time.

Nope all the same

That's good. As far as the 10th gen hatchbacks were concerned, they had weaker rods than every other 1.5t model.

I'm guessing since all 1.5's are built in North America now, you are correct. Cheers!

Could be different in the cvt models but we have the 6 speed sport touring and its got a L15B7 block

Si has a L15CA. I believe it has a slightly thicker pistons and thicker connecting rods.

Doesnt matter on the block code, already matched the rods and pistons, same thing

Do the rods and pistons make a difference in your opinion? The difference looked negligible.

Over the 10th gen there is way more bearing material on the crank journals at the rod which will help a ton with longevity in the engine with higher HP

That’s nice to hear as a 10th gen si owner. Been wanting an 11th gen civic si but can’t find one under 36k-42k after mark up here in California. The EX will do meanwhile.

Darton Sleeved block is here, waiting on Saenz to finish the rods so we can get this together for big boost

 

[HansJr]

Following this build. Can’t wait to see it come together!

Ready to hit the dyno this week and see what it does
