Turbocharged 2012 Honda Civic Si Coupe by Fox Marketing Revealed


Following the “working-on” stage of their turbocharged 2012 Honda Civic Si Coupe, finally Fox Marketing has revealed the full details of the modification for the Honda’s latest version Civic Coupe. Featuring a more than two-times of engine output from the stock version, a new handling performance system, plus a styling package for exterior and interior.

Under the hood, the Pennsylvania-based tuning firm equipped the Honda’s new K24Z7 power plant with their intercooled turbo kit plus numerous other improvements. For the result, the four-cylinder unit’s output goes up to 450 horsepower from the original’s 201HP 2.4-liter i-VTEC engine. To handle the uplifted performance, Fox Marketing adds a lowered suspension, larger brakes, and a set of 20-inch wheels with Toyo Proxes 4 Tires.

Other additional such as a blue pearl exterior paint job, an aero bodykit and Yonaka Ronin Racing Seats for the interior, so on can be seen at the press release after the jump. The car will be featured at this year SEMA show in Las Vegas.

Fox Marketing Cars 2012 Honda Civic Si

Theme of Vehicle:

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!
