Honda has recently unveiled the Honda Civic 5D Mugen concept car at  Moscow Motor Show. Eventhough no technical details on the Honda Civic 5D Mugen have been released yet,but this unit I believe will easily get the crowd attention. For info the first Model released in Russian market was the Accord Mugen.

If you notice, a lot of modication has been done on the bodykit including new front and rear bumpers, side skirts, hood and a new rear wing. The Honda Civic 5D Mugen also features a new round dual exhaust system and black alloy wheels.

What is Blow off valve ?

The Blow Off Valve is essential to all turbocharged vehicles. The purpose of the BOV is to relieve compressor surge without reducing compressor speed. It controls boost pressure that is built up by the turbo and vents it into the atmosphere when the car is not under load (in between shifts). This prevents pressure from backing up into the compressor housing, causing the turbo impeller blade to rapidly stop or even worse, to spin backwards (compressor surge or backspin).

The Lexus IS300 featured here is another great modification by the western on the IS300 or also known Toyota Altezza in Japanese Domestic Market (JDM). Eventhough, the factory setting 2jZ-GE engine is good enough in term of power, but many of the IS300 enthusiasts choose the 2JZ-GTE taken from Toyota Supra simply because of the possible engine swap with minor mod.

If you thing that the swap is easy, you are definitely wrong, nothing bolts in and fits, some of the things need to undergo major mod.

Not to mention that all IS300 comes with auto tranny !

The engine swap also maybe very much related to the famous legendary rear wheel drive AE86. What do you think of this Toyota monster.
