This Honda Civic stands at ten years old, for Civic that is not bad but this is no ordinary Civic it belongs to military man Robert Rosso and we would have to assume that it has been built with military precision.
The first thing that strikes you is the whiteness of the car against those green wheels, if that was suggested before seeing it, most people would have thought “NO” but it does take vision to be a car builder and so that is why these colours actually look great on this car.
The car or rather the driver has opted to use this as a road too, meaning that whoever gets to sit in the passenger seat is going to experience all the bumps and curves of the road, you can imagine that passenger trying to finish off their McDonalds milkshake while the car is thrown around a bend.
The estimated cost of the build is around $20,000, which for a car of this size is over average. However, you are going to end up on the high end of the scale of the budget range, if you are going to go for top quality parts, workmanship, which is exactly what, has happened here, and it works very well indeed.

INCREASE IN PERFORMANCE, 100% GRADE A STAINLESS STEEL MATERIAL CONSTRUCTION
O.E. REPLACEMENT, BOLT-ON INSTALLATION, SPECIAL DESIGNED HANGERS TO PREVENT SLIPPAGE
SPECIFIC PIPING DIAMETER SELECTED TO MATCH EACH VEHICLE’S PERFORMANCE LEVEL, COMPACT MUFFLER DESIGN FOR REDUCING WEIGHT
SPECIAL SOUND DAMPENING MATERIALS TO REDUCE NOISE AND PRODUCE DEEP THROATY NOTE WITH REMOVABLE SLIENCER
4.0″ ZEN STYLE EXHAUST TIP FOR SPORTY APPEARANCE, 2.5″ PIPING FOR INCREASED EXHAUST FLOW
Product Description
Burnout series exhaust systems consist of many catback and axle back systems for various import and domestic sports compact vehicles. Designed to be O.E. replacements, each system bolts onto the original mounting locations with uniquely designed hangers that prevent slippage. With 2.5″ catback piping, it allows for increased exhaust flow throughout the RPM range without losing too much back pressure at lower RPM. Sporty Zen style muffler features compact canister with 4.0″ muffler tip. Special sound dampening materials inside the muffler canister facilitate deep and low throaty exhaust tone and increase low end torque for street use. Made of 100% grade A stainless steel material, the burnout exhaust systems are not only attractive in appearance but they also have high durability.

Turbonetics GT-K 500 Turbocharger
Product Features
Model: GT-K 500
HP: (450-550)
Turbine Housing: T3 .63 A/R 4 bolt square inlet flange
Compressor Inlet/Outlet: (4.0″/2.5″)
Product Description
The GT-K family has been designed for maximum performance utilizing the most advanced turbocharger engineering and components. This next generation of turbo units features special Map Enhancement Porting to allow the compressor wheel to operate at its maximum efficiency across a very broad rpm range. This variant of bleed air design, has precisely placed slots machined into the compressor housing to limit effects of surge when using large turbochargers on small displacement engines as well as providing additional air flow to make maximum horsepower at high boost pressure levels and across the entire rpm range. Aerodynamics is what separates the GT-K turbo line from the competition. Equipped with the latest HP Compressor Wheels, designed to maximize efficiency at high boost pressures, and the F1 Turbine wheel, created to capture maximum exhaust gas energy and reduce back pressures, the GT-K family of turbos delivers unequalled performance. When paired with the Map Enhancement Porting of the GT-K compressor housings, these wheels flow huge volumes of air at high pressure ratios while still delivering a cool efficient intake charge. The F1 Turbines are a new generation of 10 bladed, tall tip height wheels that allow you to turn up the boost without encountering dreadful backpressure issues. Turbonetics exclusive Black-Chrome Perma-Coating also comes standard for heat reflection away from the compressor housing to aid it lowering compressor wheel inlet temperatures and gives these units great looks to match their performance. Select turbo systems will also be able to be upgraded to the GT-K Turbos if so desired. Turbine housings will feature high temperature ceramic coating to trap exhaust gas energy inside the turbine housing for greater energy delivery and faster response time, as well as keeping the engine compartment temperatures low. Cooler under hood temps means more power potential from a cooler compressor intake charge.
