Most powerful civic wagon!

Tadas

I have always wondered, other than bisimoto wagon, which wagon on this website is the most powerful and reliable?

I did like vipryans wagon, but he seems to be gone.

So the question stands, who has the most powerful 4wd wagon? I wonder if within two years I could try and top it.

It would also benefit me greatly to know how much power our rt4wd trans and diffs can take, and what people have done to upgrade it.

2wd wagons would be not much different from any other civic, so I am interested in those who have kept 4wd.

Epic tuning pushes the rt4wd civics further than anyone I heard of. 650whp launches

Yeah I'd say Epic Tuning. Bisi made a dyno queen. Impressive numbers but you never see it run. Epic Tuning actually has some numbers to back their stuff. Also the Bisi wagon is only 2wd as far as I know.

When Bisi's wagon came out I was searching for months trying to find a video of it driving anywhere....never did.

There is a 350hp wagon from VIP in Sacramento or Portland that has 2 step as well...pretty bad ass: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=84Um-7TfwNk

Nice stuff there, definitely makes me wish mine was 4wd. Even a link to the old site URL at the end of that video.

I actually like the turbo'ed goldy that is in here somewhere...

Hmm, but Epic Tuning does not seem to have any wagons, just a newer civic with swapped drivetrain.

I do have some mad thoughts about what would be the greatest set up for our wagon.

D16z6 + big turbo, or maybe b20 with all crv stuff and big turbo, maybe even b16?

And I know this is probably already done by somebody on here. I did get my metal fenders done that no one seems to have other than ragenasian unfinished ones.

So now I wonder for the best setup engine wise for the wagon. I really want to have this thing be much more powerful than my evo :devilish:

1) Bisi is a chump, the car was a 2wd dyno queen
2) VIP wagon is still very much around, and I can promise you it is much faster than it's numbers lead you to believe. I've ridden in it, and it's stupid scary! VIP FTMFW
3) There is no magic number for when shit breaks, anyone that says there is- you shouldn't trust
4) As soon as this thread turns to building discussion, it gets locked. Discuss high power cars and keep pipe dreams to your own build thread please. This such topics have been beaten to death.

1. I Agree 2wd is just lame.
2. Is VIP wagon the most powerful alive wagon? I really do love it.
3. I don't care if it breaks, we can fix it.
4. I just want to know who owns the most powerful wagon, and I want to see how they achieved it.

I'd say the VIP wagon is currently the fastest, but probably not the most powerful. I feel strongly the car could break into the 11's without problem. But there are safety changes needed for cars that fast, which most aren't willing to do. I won't speak for the good folks at VIP on this in particular, just making educated guesses.

People are scared to drive their cars for some reason. My guess is all the bad info regarding what the drivetrain can handle. I do my best to stomp that out.

I just want this to stay on topic of power/speed. Stuff like this is easily overrun with pipe dreams and e-racers.

But FYI- I can't name names, but I know of at least two boosted K series RT's are being built... hopefully we can see some track time from them!
