In this thrilling episode on Larry Chen's channel, we dive headfirst into the world of electric vehicle innovation with a jaw-dropping Honda Civic build like no other. Picture this: a flagship EV Civic boasting a mind-blowing 600 horsepower, thanks to a small front Tesla Drive Unit ingeniously hacked with AEM management. This setup not only delivers power but also offers compatibility with a range of chassis, making it a versatile and potent option for car enthusiasts looking to push boundaries.

But that's not all - the build doesn't stop there. With Chrysler Pacifica hybrid batteries powering the car, Larry aims for a respectable 70 miles of range, challenging the norms of traditional engine swaps. The focus here is not just on performance but also on simplicity and efficiency, redefining what it means to electrify a classic car. The cooling system, including a CSF radiator and a cleverly integrated PTC heater for cabin warmth, showcases the meticulous attention to detail that sets this project apart.

As we delve deeper, we uncover the intricacies of the AC system, featuring a Tesla compressor and a compact anti-gravity battery for added convenience. The innovative Bosch iBooster ensures precise brake pressure without the need for vacuum, highlighting the cutting-edge technology at play in this electrifying Civic build. With a clean, no-cut installation that preserves the car's integrity and a fully restored interior featuring JDM seats, this 1993 CX hatchback is a true testament to Larry's dedication to craftsmanship and performance.
