Titan Motorsports preps IPG Turbo Civic for Outlaw FWD Shootout

September 19th, 2008 1 comment


Over the past few weeks, Titan Motorsports has been prepping James Innes of Innes Performance’s VX Civic hatchback, piloted by Titan’s own John Ferguson. The two have been collaborating on the car for some time now and have even won The East Coast NHRA Sport FWD Championship in 2006! Currently the car has undergone a complete refresh, based on IPG’s specifications/Titan recommendations and boasts such parts as a GSR bottom end, B16 head, Borg Warner S-372, G-Force transmission, Mickey Thompson 26×10 tires, and full Strange suspension. Additionally we have had to add 140 lbs. to make the 2500 lbs minimum weight requirement. We chose to put it in the passenger floorboard to help with the weight distribution. The Civic was dynoed in the heat of July and put down 860 hp to the wheels at 35 psi. The car ran 9.70 in the Florida heat recently and should be even faster when it travels to Englishtown, NJ for the Outlaw FWD Shootout on October 11-12th. Best of luck to the duo, we will post more on the Shootout and the Civic after the event.
