If you haven't guessed by now, the automotive aftermarket super show SEMA is nearly upon us, and tuner vehicles are sprouting up everywhere. So, next on the list is a 2012 Honda Civic Si by Fox Marketing.
Although the Civic has lost over the years much of the tuning thunder it once had, Fox Marketing wants to prove otherwise. The concept is simple yet potent: install big turbo kit from Honda's LMP1/LMP2 IndyCar engine, custom body kit, 20-inch wheels, BASF R-M Ultrasonic Blue Pearl paint job and then top it all off with a long list of contributing sponsors for validation.
The result is a new Civic Si putting out 450 hp (335 kW / 456 PS) which Fox Marketing asserts is good for "100,000+ reliable miles without blinking an eye."

Fox Marketing Cars 2012 Honda Civic Si
The main focus of this build was to showcase the reliability, and performance capability from Honda's new K24Z7 power plant. With a properly engineered turbo kit the new Civic Si can consistently provide an enthusiast with over 450 horsepower for 100,000+ reliable miles without blinking an eye. Because the K24Z7 is so strong from the factory, we added a new Full-Race intercooled turbo kit. This turbo kit features the BorgWarner EFR turbo as seen in Honda's LMP1/LMP2 engine program, and 2012 Indycar teams. To properly and accurately tune the vehicle, Hondata FlashPro was selected to control Injector Dynamic 1000cc fuel injectors and the 255lph fuel pump, all made possible with the Chasebays Engine Harness. For additional power and durability, the stock plastic K24Z7 intake manifold was replaced with a Honda RRC intake manifold (euro Accord Type-R) sourced from ImportDPS. Since the car has these types of power numbers we need serious traction - so a 10.5 inch wide Vossen wheel with Toyo Tire will put the power to the ground. We then hand-built the widebody kit around the wheel and tire set up, and painted the civic BASF R-M Ultrasonic Blue Pearl, a new-school take on the classic Civic Si electron-blue-pearl. The interior was upgraded with Yonaka Ronin Racing Seats with factory Civic Si fabric inserts front, and rear. We hope you enjoy our vision for this new Si, and stay tuned to our Facebook and YouTube page for full dyno videos after SEMA!
