culicine Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Who can supply and fit the supercharger in Thailand??Never heard of one being used in a civic here. I know some guy in Bangkok who can supply and fit turbocharger for Civic, but I found some in Singapore and will drive there in the next future if I have time. Or will order from there and guy in Bangkok will fit it for me. The price of supercharger kit is SGD3,900, ECU AEM - SGD600 What engine mods have you done so far and what effect did it have? Just spark (HKS), air filter(K&N), ground wire & volt stabilizer (BuddyClub), muffler(HKS) It's about + 10 hp + suspension (TEIN) and brakes (ATS) The problem is that 2.0 engine (K20Z2) is for Asian market only and very difficult to modify that kind of engine because most of aftermarket parts was designed for K20Z3 for US market. I have a honda civic 2.0 (2004). I just changed the springs to H&R. Rides well but the front is a bit low for my liking. I also changed the airfilter to a k&N and did the hondata airbox modification. Plus also mugen replica twinloop muffler. I can see why you want forced induction, as this car really lacks torque right when you need it. Who does turbos in bkk? The supercharger would be good, but does the price justify it? I thought you could get a type r-engine fitted for the same, but don't know if you can get good ones in bkk.

dominique355 Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 We own 2 cars: - Honda CRV 2.4 4WD for everyday use. The missus loves the car. I think it's ugly, but we fitted a big touch-screen Pioneer radio/DVD player which can even play my IPod. So I am OK - Volvo XC90 (6 Cyl. double turbo) the family car with 7 seats. Big, heavy, less thirsty than I thought (about same as the Honda CRV). Sat Nav is a useless joke. Entertainment system with 2 screens in the front headrests, drives me crazy. Same for built in phone. A lot of space, even in 7 seas configuration. We are in the process of exchanging the Honda for the new AUDI A4, due to arrive in BKK next month.

culicine Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 just the old mini !!! Lover it! used to own a leylang mini with a modified motor in Australia. My first and only car there. Bloody thing cost me a packed in repairs - especially electrical problems. It also decided it would cough and splutter at the first sight of rain. Stupid distributor right near the front grill was to blame. Ended up having to put a rubber glove over it to keep out the water. Still it was a lot of fun, and maxed out at 160km/h. How does yours go in the rain? The classic mini costs a bomb here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grant Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 (edited) Who does turbos in bkk? rcw.ms/forums/showthread.php?t=128945 The supercharger would be good, but does the price justify it? About 100k baht for 50 hp - it's OK I thought you could get a type r-engine fitted for the same, but don't know if you can get good ones in bkk. There is VTECstore garage in Bangkok and the owner importing Type R and Mugen RR then replace all parts to local Civic. He said that he can swap my engine, gearbox etc to K20A (Type R) 225 hp and it will cost me about 300k baht. But he can't found that engine for me - maybe it take long time.

ralfbkk Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 (edited) Honda CR-V 2.4 4WD - 2008 - great car with the pearl white. Runs on E20. 1320 THB to fill it up. Honda Accord 2.4 - 2008 - nothing to add. This is just a great car and runs really smooth. Edited September 7, 2008 by ralfbkk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might have lag but be cheaper overall. Thanks your link was ok. I dodn;t see any k20A motor mentioned in the thread though, so don't know if they can do it. Plenty are done in the US though.

Grant Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Why not try the turbo? It might have lag but be cheaper overall. Yes, it cheaper but is not so good for this kind of engine and I want to have more torque on that I can get with supercharger only. I dodn;t see any k20A motor mentioned in the thread though, so don't know if they can do it. There is another guy who do swap to TypeR or MugenRR - VTECstore on Viphavadi Rd.: vtecstore @ hotmail.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denim Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Just bought a Nissan NX100 sports coupe for 130,000 . So far so good. Will dress it up a bit if it proves reliable. I was thinking of re upholstering the two front seats though as the originals are a bit faded. Anyone know how much this might cost ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sometime Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Thought it might be a good idea to have this thread so that if we have a problem with our cars we can find owners with similar models who might be able to give advice on locating parts or getting repairs done for the right price.

Yeah, it's ridiculous...at that time that was $162,000. For that money in Europe you can buy Italian exotic car. I often wonder what Thai govt does with money earned from car duties?

Hi They substitute that for income tax - you know, that sort of car cost less than half that in Germany, but therefor there the government keeps half of your income as tax..... think about it Best regards.....
