the story starts with me buying a '98 dx coupe. i installed an aem cam gear, aem pulleys, injen intake, dc header, magnaflow exhaust, agx shocks, eibach springs with some white 17" wheels. i sold it for $6700.

later on with the money i bought a 1996 integra gsr with fresh paint, brand new tokico/eibach supension, itr header, injen intake, apexi ws2 exhaust, skunk2 mani, skunk2 stg1 cams, bdl gears then with in a week a installed a cf type-r spoiler.. with in 2-1/2 weeks i had wrecked this beautiful love machine.

two days later, i bought this '93 civic si from a friend w/a dvd player.. other than that and a rear strut bar, it was completely stock. my friend went off to buy a 4dr gsr and then later traded it for a hx ek(dumbass).

with in a week i had my wrecked gsr and my rusty hatch down at the shop getting swapped, this is everything after word.

this is with the gsr motor and 15" konig helium wheels (11.6lbs)

after winter i backed up into a dodge neon, revealing a thick layer of old bondo that broke right off. i decided it was time to swap the quarters out.

after all the paint and having the gsr for a while, i decided i want boost so i got ready with a lower compression ls block. ended up beating up the rings so i swapped in some new rings and with in a month after had bought this ebay turbo kit
http://c3.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/31/l_17b35b2f954c2d
with this turbo i ran it with out a filter and ended up sucking a rock inside and ruining the turbo.
i bought another for $170 shipped and wasted it from boosting too much.
decided i was done with shitty ebay turbo's and bought this guy!
turbonetics gt35r bb turbo for $1200
http://c2.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/25/l_007f64fe4eb948f0802b9a06c3f26c75.jpg
installed
http://c3.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/28/l_8b52b520e0c2c956f0ac032473ee80f6.jpg

i finally got the gt35r to stop blowing off intake pipes every 2 seconds and boost. story goes, my boost controller is shit and let me boost 17lbs on stock internals.
ended up getting as close as possible to blowing it up. on cylinders 2, 3, and 4 i broke the ring lands.


while i was waiting for the gt35r i threw some spoon wanabe mirrors on along with a 3" exhaust and a cf duck bill.

[rwlsvtec_03]

[TiiM iiS l3eAsT]

[TroyBoy]

[rwlsvtec_03]

looking good...

the pipes are very close fit along with my blow off valve is located right in my fender and the clamp for the bov pipe is right at the metal going back to the engine bay.

I can't either! I had to send my pistons back and get the correct size.. well I got 'em back and they are back at my machine shop (pro flow) and will be done by this Friday. It really should be done by monday. The block guard has been welded, the cylinders have been honed, and it's been decked. All he has to do is assemble and balance.
