CIVIC V-TEC TURBO SAVAGES.. 490HP EG vs 440HP EP3 vs 444HP FK2

So what's going on, Gas Gang? Yes, we are finally back with our first showdown of the year and we're back with a boosted VTEC Bang. It's a freeway generation race and we've got a trio of insane boosted Hondas. Stay tuned for this one, you do not want to miss it. Let's go. Welcome to Officially Gas. Oh, sorry. Let's get it. So welcome back once again to another intense OG battles between three generations of the same car, the mighty Honda Civic. And we're here to find out just how old school fares against the new school. We've got two aftermarket boosted Civics going against a tuned example of Honda's first turbo Civic Type R production car. And in partnership with RaceLogic and as usual, we're going to be running four different tests. First, it's a zero to 60. Next up, it's a quarter mile run. After that, it's a drag race to the quarter mile. And finally, we line all cars up for a quarter mile roll race. Let's get over and meet all cars and their owners. So first up, introducing Craig and the oldest car of the bunch, his 490 brake horsepower, K swapped and boosted Honda Civic EG. Modifications include a stock block 2 litre K20 A2 engine swap, a Pulsar GTX 3583R turbo and custom manifold, Gram's 1150cc injectors, a DC5 LSD, methanol injection and a K Pro V4 engine management. The car's mapped by Street Racers and can actually make 524 brake horsepower on kill. However, he's turned it down to keep things fair as possible today, keeping it at 490 brake horsepower at 15 psi of boost. He's running on Nankang AR1 semi-slick tyres on the fronts and weighs in at an insanely light 900kg, giving him a power to weight ratio of 544 brake horsepower per tonne. It drives the front wheels via its five speed manual gearbox. And he's going to be stepping up against Mihir from MK Performance, piloting a customer's EP3 Type R running 440 brake horsepower at 12 psi. This was an MK Performance overnight build which went from stock to boosted in just 6 hours. Modifications include CRS RaceFab sidewinder manifold and downpipe, a Pulsar GTX 3582 turbo, 1000cc injectors, a stage 4 clutch and also runs on a Hondata K Pro ECU. The car's running on PS4S street tyres and is completely stripped out, even the bonnet had to go, and is estimated to weigh in at 1150kg, giving it a power to weight ratio of 382 brake horsepower per tonne. It drives its front wheels via its stock six speed manual gearbox. And last but not least, introducing Luke and the newest car of the lot, his stage 2 444 brake horsepower Honda Civic FK2 Type R. Modifications include an eVenturi intake, a big intercooler and big boost pipes, D-cat downpipe, full custom exhaust and a stage 2 map by Paul West. The car's running on PS4S street tyres and with a stripped rear, weighs in at 1380kg, giving him the lowest power to weight ratio of the three at just 321 brake horsepower per tonne. It drives the front wheels via its stock six speed LSD equipped manual transmission. Greg, welcome to the channel, bro. Thanks for having me, man. Bro, you're welcome, mate. I've seen this in practice. Mate, it's a rocket. Yeah, mate, it's literally lethal. It's the oldest car here, but yet you have the most power, but you're turning it down today. Yeah, it's running low boost, so we're not going to go into high, but it's running 490 brake, so it's still a fair whack. Yeah, so a little bit more than the others. However, obviously a lot of power to the front wheels. Well, like the others, but again, you're the only one on semi-slicks today. How do you reckon it's going to turn out? I don't know. To be fair, once it gets out of second gear, it hooks and it goes well. It's surprising, but I think it's going to be all right, to be fair. I think it's going to do well. Are you confident then? I think so, yeah. All right. That's what we like to see. I don't want to scream and shout about it, but I think it's going to be all right. Well, listen, bro, best of luck. Yeah, nice one. Thank you. Let's go. Let's go. We're here. MK Performance in the house. What do you say, my bro? I am good, bro. Listen, you're driving a powerful, boosted K20 EP3 Type R. Now, listen, I mean, there's a car here, the EG's got more power than you and the EP2, but they call you DSG for a reason, right? Well, I want to do the best of my ability. That's it. We'll wait for the rest. That's it. That's it. So, as far as quarter mile and, you know, off the line zero to 60s and rolling rate, what do you reckon is going to happen? I'll be honest with you, I ain't got a clue. We'll find out. The reason why I say that, I was just testing out the strip earlier, spinning until the end of fourth, and then getting grip. But we'll see how it goes. Okay. All right, bro. Well, you know, I've got trust. Yeah, yeah. Come on. Good luck, man. Thank you. Luke, welcome to the channel, brother. Thanks for having me. Bro, you are more than welcome. Now, it's a generational race again. We've got three different generations of a Honda Civic. You're actually the least powered here today, and probably the heaviest, right? Yeah, least powered, heaviest. Underdog, but I reckon I'll give him a good go. I mean, to tell the truth, I've been watching you in practice, and you do look pretty, you look spot on. It looks a lot stronger than I thought it would, not taking anything away from this car. I'm just a K20 boy myself. But how do you reckon it's going to go? Like, you know, quarter mile, rolling race, zero to 60s, everything? I mean, that's where I've done the rolling burnout. I think off the line, you know, with a newer car, I might get a bit of an edge. But, you know, higher up, because some of them have got 50, 100 horsepower on me, might catch me. But, you know, for the fun, see how it goes. That's it. Even though we don't like losing. Bro, I believe in you. You've got this, bro, you've got this. Yeah, let's do it. Let's do it. So, let's get a few sound checks. So, first up, it's the zero to 60s. All these bad boys have a lot of power going to the front wheels. Let's see who can lay it down. So, first up is Craig and EG. This is it. We are doing it now. MK is going down. E is going down. Ready? Come on. And that's a strong time of 5.32 seconds. Next up, it's Mihir and EP3. And he manages a good time of 5.48 seconds. Next up, it's Luke and the FK2. Let's see what he can do. That is an incredible zero to 60 time of just 4.5 seconds. Madness. So, let's just take a quick look at the front wheel drive zero to 60 leaderboard. And as you can see, Luke and the FK2 drops into second position with his rapid zero to 60 of 4.57 seconds. Craig and his EG go into seventh position with his time of 5.32 seconds. And Mihir drops into eighth position with his time of 5.48 seconds. And round one goes to Luke and the FK2. Next up, it's the quarter miles. Let's go. Ready? Ready. And Craig manages a strong run of 12.88 seconds. Let's see if the EP3 can go any quicker. And the best Mihir can run is a 13.34 seconds. Next up, it's the FK2. Let's see if he can break some marks. And the FK2 manages a great time, one hundredth of a second faster than the EG with a time of 12.87 seconds. Absolutely smashed it. So, let's just take a quick look at the OG Battles front wheel drive quarter mile leaderboard. And as you can see, the FK2 slips into third position with his time of 12.87 seconds at a speed of 118 miles per hour. The EG drops in right behind him in fourth position running a 12.88 with a stronger trap speed of 125 miles per hour. And the EP3 drops into seventh position with his time of 13.34 seconds at a speed of 115 miles per hour. And once again, round two goes to Luke and that FK2 tie part. I bet you weren't expecting that. Next up, it's the drag race. And regardless of times ran so far, this is where a pressured environment can really get to a driver. Let's see who can get them shifts on point. Let's get it. The FK2 takes the win and teaches its older brothers a train lengths lesson in Japanese. Let's line them up and go again. And that was incredibly close. But under closer inspection, the EG just about wins by a bumper. The EP3 comes in about three car lengths behind. It's one to the FK2 and it's one to the EG. So let's line them back up for a decider. Once again, it was an absolutely crazy close race. But after watching the finish line back many, many, many times, it looks like the FK2 just about beats the EG to the finish line by a millimeter. The EP3 once again comes in third position, about two car lengths behind. That was epic. And round three goes to Luke and the FK2. Next up is the roll races. Let's go. So the aim for this one is to roll together at around 40 miles per hour. The EP3 is the pace car. As soon as they hit the start marker, it's go time. Let's see if anything changes. And the EG shows its power and weight advantage and hands out two ice cold Gappuccinos. The EP3 manages to outpace the FK2 and take second position. And the FK2 surprisingly comes last. Right. So the EP3 and the FK2 have had a look to make sure they both have gap insurance. They're all good. So we're going to line it up and go again. And once again, the EG takes the win. This time the FK2 comes second and the EP3 comes last. Very, very good. It's a rolling car. It definitely is a rolling model. So all in all, an epic day of VTEC limiter bashing boosted goodness with some surprising results. The FK2, although having the lowest power to weight ratio, still manages to take three out of four rounds and represents the new school to the fullest. The old school EG shows just how quick it is when rolling. And that six hour EP3 turbo build, although not quite as quick as the others, still proves to be a worthy opponent. So with that said, let me know if that's the result you expected. And of course, which one of the three you prefer and why. Guys, we have got some epic races coming this year. So do not forget to smash that subscribe button and stay tuned for the next installment of the OG Battles. Peace out.
