Cody Loveland built this 1993 Civic hatch for time attack racing several years ago at his company LoveFab. He replaced the factory engine and transmission with a 3.2 L J32A2 V6 and six-speed manual from an Acura CL Type-S. Increasing the displacement and cylinder count wasn’t enough for Cody so he installed a Garrett GTX3576R turbocharger, ID1000 injectors, and water-to-air intercooler. This resulted in 377 horsepower and 325 lb-ft of torque to the wheels from 3,000 rpm to redline on pump gas. Cody sold the car in 2014 and the new owner recently completed the next phase in this project’s evolution. The new changes included a full roll cage, Driveshaft Shop Level 5.9 axles, 5-lug conversion, Wilwood six-piston calipers and 12.8″ rotors (front brakes), and aero work by Affinity Aerodynamics. They finished with a set of 18×13″ HRE wheels with Toyo Tires 335/710/18 wheels from Cody’s Enviate Hypercar. The recent changes resulted in a 2nd place finish in class and 5th overall at Empire Hill Climb.

I know this might seem an odd request but my wife has an automatic AWD 2002 Honda CRV. She loves it. Only problem has been the AC system and the lack of power. No one supports any upgrades that would amount to much because there no way to tune the particular K24. Would it be possible to pull that K24 out and swap in one of Honda’s V6? Thank you
Hey guys, do you have a mounting kit for this set up you market? I’d like to follow your successful build with my 93 civic coupe

I have a 2001 Acura TL that I would like to turbo. And I’ve looked so long to find a turbo kit for it. But they don’t have one. I was wondering if you know of any place I could get one from if it is out there.
