First let me explain the dryer duct. This car was my DAILY DRIVER. The local speed shops wanted 90 DOLLARS EACH for those two 45 degree silicone bends. I found some online for half that price, so I decided to order the ones online. Which meant waiting for them to arrive. Once I slapped that turbo on that weekend I still had to drive it to work on Monday and I wasn't about to do it without a filter, so the dryer duct worked perfectly for the 2 weeks I had it on until the couplers arrived and I could make a real intake.
Let me just give you a cost rundown of the car.
Car 2000
Rods 300
Cam 150
Pistons 400
Clutch 300
Ebay turbo 300
Manifold 80
Downpipe and exhaust 400
Intercooler and charge pipe 300
Oil lines 100
Intake 140
Gauges 300
Injectors 200
Pump 100
MAP sensor 20
Dyno tune on modified stock ECU 450
Slicks 300
Steel racing wheels 150
I am not playing those numbers down whatsoever, that's what those parts cost. Roughly 6000 all said and done. It went 12.8 at 110 mph in the quarter mile. Full weight, full interior. Had a lot lower ETs in it if my tranny weren't shitty and grinding. As for "rice"? Bitch please, it was 100% stock on the exterior save for some black steel wheels and the hood vent.
Regardless, the car is long gone now. I sold it back in November. I'm still a member on D-Series.org because as Full_Tilt was saying the technical discussions there are unsurpassed compared to any other forum I've been on.
EDIT: Nowadays I have an 84 SVO for a daily and Toyota Aristo (RHD Lexus GS300) with a 2JZGTE that's currently my garage queen slated for major surgery this winter. My goal for the Aristo is to double what I got out of the Civic for power. 550whp on a dyno that's a "heartbreaker".
