SOME TESTIMONIALS

Eric Chng's Honda Civic VTi 1.6

Eric of Balestier Road Singapore just told me on the phone, that his 4-door VTi (DOHC VTEC) hit 100 kph in first gear! His computer is rpm delimited, and he achieved that speed activating Surbo and not even with full throttle. Wheel size was lower than usual for this model, at 195/50R15, some 3% shorter than the stock 195/55R15. He said if it was just floored and Surbo not used, the car could not go to that speed in first gear. He does not know how high it could go without the Surbo, as he did not try that before the Surbo. Now, he's just had the Twin Surbo put on and noticed a very strong second gear, especially upon gearchange. However, where all-out power was concerned, the single Surbo still breathed better at very high rpms. We are talking about around 12000 rpm. He could always take the extra Surbo out if he's going for a sprint, I said. Nevertheless, he likes the low end "big-car" power of the twin. I suppose many people would be interested in talking to him about his car, to buy his car, or to ask him about the first gear 0-100 experience. You can email him via the link below.
