Title: Caddy vs Civic
Post by: stewardc on December 06, 2006, 06:41:34 am: I was cruising along on the 4-lane minding my own business when a Civic coupe with fartcan and 3 riders pulls alongside and laugh/point. They drop down a gear and I stay in 5th. They never had a chance and, when they read "diesel" on the tailgate, the smiles were gone too.
I must say the old truck was in fine form.

Your story is even better cause they were laughin' and pointin'.

Glad to hear the old truck was in fine form. 8)

Post by: redbaronmulisha on May 23, 2007, 02:31:36 pm: well here in the land of northern ireland a lot of ppl drive jap cars especially 1.5 civics with vtec in 3 foot lettering along the sides.any they really dont like it when a 1.3 polo (another version of a rabbit to you americans)g40 sails past them with the g-lader screaming. i know its not diesel but it really pisses of the jap car owners especially when you turn up at their rolling road/dyno days and smoke most of them.
Title: Caddy vs Civic
Post by: RabbitJockey on May 23, 2007, 07:56:08 pm: polo isn't a rabbit at all. g40s are cool though.. but i guess i only think that since tis a euro only motor.
Title: Caddy vs Civic
Post by: jtanguay on May 26, 2007, 09:18:08 am: funny enough the 1.5L vtec engine is less fuel efficient than a 1.9TDI engine... reason? the 1.5 vtec revs higher to make the same hp figures... thus the 1.5 sucks back more fuel while the TDI is making all kinds of low end grunt...

diesel wins again! a 1.3L turbo motor would need to be built really good to last long... but i can see quite a bit of potential in the upper rpm ranges for sure :)

Post by: punkvideo81 on July 09, 2007, 01:42:41 pm: stewardc - I am always looking for other people with Giles pumps for testimonials. Just got my Giles pump in the mail Saturday. So is yours mounted on a 1.6 or 1.9 td? I have a 1.6 with Techtonics tuning downpipe and full 2.25 inch exhaust. I am also adding an audi 5000 intercooler with the Giles pump (hopefully done by late next week). Does yours have an intercooler? Got any pics of your caddy? Thanks! I hope to be posting smoke tales here too someday...

Post by: stewardc on July 13, 2007, 04:37:38 pm: My Giles pump isn't on just yet...the motor is still in the building stages. It'll be a ported, polished, balanced AAZ 2 liter with a Garrett T3 turbo. I'll put an intercooler on after breakin. There are a few pics here.

Post by: stewardc on November 06, 2007, 08:25:51 am: Well, I got the torquemonster 2 liter in and running. With 1000 km on it and boost set at 6psi, a fartcanned Civic was waiting for me at the toll booths the other morning. Do I , or don't I.......yeah, I do. No high revs, no hard shifts, no abuse.....I just drove away from him at will. He was very discouraged.
Poor Honduh driver....beaten by a diesel. :roll:

Sorry, no intercooler yet. I'm breaking it in nice and gentle. The Giles pump is simply amazing -- no great clouds of smoke, extremely nice power and almost 70mpg (Cdn). It was certainly money well spent.
Now for some powdercoating and paint to make it look nicer. I had a G60 polished valvecover on my 1.6TD, but it won't work on the 1.9. There's very little bling for this engine. :cry:

Post by: stewardc on May 30, 2008, 06:25:49 am: In the latest installment, the old truck is working better every day. Almost time to install the intercooler and boost controller. 8)

Post by: stewardc on June 06, 2008, 09:13:11 am: Anyone got an Old Navy CCV filter they'd part with? I'm looking to redo the CCV system and need something nice on the valve cover to plumb to.
Title: Caddy vs Civic
Post by: stewardc on June 11, 2008, 08:03:34 am: Coming soon. Then "watch Out" Honduh drivers. The boost is still set around 6psi and it's absolutely wicked power.

S'OK, I found one, and polished it.

Title: Caddy vs Civic
Post by: stewardc on September 03, 2008, 11:33:34 am: All of us nuts on here think that diesels are better than gassers. I think that IDI is much more reliable than TDI. :wink:
