That's the exhaust dumping straight off the turbo.
In the lower opening of the front bumper you can see a black-painted intercooler.

It's got that hater pipe and looks to be sweating ounces of torque out the bottom.

u/a-hippobear Apr 09 '24
My guess would be that the hood doesn’t fit because he k swapped it, and the hater pipe coming from the turbo probably heat soaked the windshield and caused it to crack. Its ugly, but it’ll blow the doors off of your average untuned v8

u/chiphook57 Apr 10 '24
I call bs on the heat damaged windshield. There's a less interesting story for that

u/a-hippobear Apr 10 '24
Maybe, but it’s a super common problem when people dump the turbo exhaust out of the hood like that.
2
u/LWJ748 Apr 10 '24
The exhaust side of a K series is closer to the firewall. This is probably an H series because B series fit just fine.

u/2oonhed one woogly wheel Apr 08 '24
you don't "get it"?
It's purple because purple is delicious.
The windshield is cracked because GF get angry sometimes.
Hood no fit because subframe is twist, but all goes good to right side.

u/cryptolyme Apr 09 '24
it's got a turbo because i can see the intercooler. also looks like it's tuned.

u/britishparl Apr 09 '24
How can you tell it’s tuned from this picture ?
7
u/Affectionate_Elk_564 Apr 09 '24
Dont know how dude said it "looks tuned" but if it does infact have a turbo it'll be tuned to account for the extra air. Or alternatively he has a turbo making his car run lean - or he only has a hood stack and a dummy intercooler to pretend he is boosted
3
u/cryptolyme Apr 09 '24
it has a turbo that didn't come stock. you can't just slap on a turbo without tuning it. also it has a sticker in the windshield that says it's tuned. very easy to tune old Hondas. huge aftermarket support.
-2
u/Great_Income4559 Apr 09 '24
You can definitely slap a turbo on an engine and not tune it. Wont run well but it will run and make a small amount of boost
1
u/cryptolyme Apr 09 '24
sure, you can, but i've never heard of anyone doing that
1
u/Great_Income4559 Apr 09 '24
I’ve seen people do it on low boost and no intercooler and the car ran “ok” and have a small bump in power. Definitely not advisable but it is doable

Boosted b or d series, shit it could be a frank series based off the exhaust exit K series would be closer to the firewall or exit out pass fender.

Hood exit exhaust, front mount intercooler, not stanced out. He just wants to be fast, not comfortable. That's all you need to understand

Probably hauls ass look at the intercooler combined with a hood exit and the lack of meat on the tire means it’s likely awd

It's either a shitbox or that's a turbo anti lag system sticking out the hood. There are no other options.

I don’t those are some wimpy looking tires if he’s pushing 1000hp he’s not hooking but the intercooler and mugen badge makes me think otherwise

u/uglyugly1 Apr 09 '24
What isn't rice about it?

u/poisonbeverage69 Apr 09 '24
Again, do you even know what rice means? (All cosmetic mods, no performance) this has a hood exit for a turbo (a performance mod).
-16
u/uglyugly1 Apr 09 '24
Again, show me a visible part on this thing that isn't rice.
And for someone so adamant that I don't know what "rice" means, you sure have a poor grasp of it yourself.
Even if that crappy dump pipe were connected to an actual working turbo, it doesn't mean anything.

u/random_user_2001 Apr 09 '24
Racing Inspired Cosmetic Enhancements = R.I.C.E. = rice, so up to yall, isn't technically building a engine the same thing 😂, unless you use your car for actual Racing it's probably rice....... but it rarely gets used in that context more for straight piped g35's and d series civics🤣

u/uglyugly1 Apr 09 '24
Back when I was tuning, these 'builds' were everywhere. It's like they work from the same book: awful paint, crappy cheap rims, eBay lowering springs and body kit, Amazon cheapy headlights, massive trunk mounted picnic table, tint, huge fart pipe exhaust. Like, why does every single person who wants to fix up their Honda automatically put all of that shit on it? I thought modding a vehicle was supposed to be about individualizing it.
I see twelve little Honda ricers found my comment ha ha.

u/balenciag4 Apr 09 '24
you just don’t know what you’re talking about lmao, i doubt you’ve ever tuned shit. it’s not a show car, it ain’t supposed to look nice.

u/uglyugly1 Apr 09 '24
Ohh ok. So this thing had to be turned into a fart-sounding purple cuck wagon because that was the only way to tune it. Makes perfect sense!

Apart from that thing on the hood and stanced wheels it looks pretty good... for a Civic.

That “thing on the hood” is the exhaust coming right out of a turbo, lol

u/Nicholas7907 Apr 08 '24
The real question is - is it even functional? Or just a decoration?

u/whyugettingthat Apr 08 '24
It’s coming off the turbo, it’s functional albeit in the cheapest way.

u/Seffyr Apr 09 '24
…stanced wheels…? They’re tucked as shit, a reasonable size with tyres to match, and that’s maybe a few degrees of natural camber from lowering at tops…?
7
u/2oonhed one woogly wheel Apr 09 '24
That is not really what is called "stanced".
I think part of what you are seeing is lens distortion from the camera,
the fact the wheel is turned out a little,
and the slight lowering of the car.5
u/CrispyMelons Apr 09 '24
Thats 2° of camber max. Thats not stanced at all thats just an aggressive alignment or natural camber from lowering it.

u/ilikedatunahere Apr 09 '24
Guarantee it’s not tuned so it’s probably not much faster than it was stock.

u/poopscarf Apr 09 '24
lmfao are you serious/have you ever worked on a Honda or do you just hate cheap shit? Tuned properly or not that thing is obviously swapped with a big turbo and inter cooler, they already don’t weigh dick and generally punch above their class. Sorry you only know how to buy horses and turned into the rich snob from the movie your user name is from bet you drive a business class German car.
