    Built Tubro Motor...without turbo??

    This won't be a LS motor, it will be a B16 stroked to 1.9, running around a 9:0:1 CR, although that is still up in the air while I research the CR potential of other setups. Thanks for the input, it reinforces what I was already thinking.

    Built Tubro Motor...without turbo??

    All, If I install a built turbo motor, but lack a turbo kit at this time, will running the low compression pistons without the extra boost from the turbo be overly detrimental. When I say this, I am not just refering to wear on the motor, but in the form of gas mileage as well. My current...

    Engine mount kits help!!

    I am curious about this as well, though more so if anyone has tryed it with Hasport mounts. Since the drivers side mount is completed changed, I have a hard time imagining the Ingalls stiffy dampner mounting properly.

    Engine mount kits help!!

    I don't know about either of those, but I did install the Hasport Solid mounts in my 99 Si with a b16. The 2 side mounts are simple and only took maybe an hour at max with regular hand tools in my carport with jack stands and a jack to keep the motor from falling. The rear mount is a total...

    Drive Axles

    Obviously you can't read that "Keep in mind these are just numbers I'm pulling out of my arse". As for buying some Napa, Autocenter, or other off the wall none brand part....well I'm anal and have had too many bad experiences buying non factor parts from places like that, and would never buy my...

    Picked up Skunk2 LCAs

    Well, just from sighting it by size, I would say no. Mine where the same size at the stock LCA's and the whole are in the same place. So, in theory, they should not help at all with camber since they will place the suspension in the same geometry it was in before you replaced the stock ones...

    Drive Axles

    Its not so much as how much power I am going to be making as I am insane about building things bulletproof so that I don't have to worry when I feel like pushing my car. So when things break, or are wearing out, I try to replace them with more heavy duty replacements. Besides, not even I know...

    Drive Axles

    I'm curious if anyone has upgraded there drive axles to a stage II setup yet. If so, where did you purchase them? Any complaints about certain companies? Do you suggest one over another? My stock drivers side C/V is going out, and with the upgrade to turbo coming in summer, I'm just...

    Picked up Skunk2 LCAs

    I just installed the 2nd Gen Skunk 2 LCA's as well. One thing to mention about the install though. When you are putting in the end links you must first screw them into the LCA's. Since the LCA's are pre-threaded, its not like the stock arms where you can just push them in and then ram the nut...

    Tire Suggestions

    Hey, anyone got a paticular tire in a 195/55/15 they like? I am looking too keep atleast a V rating. Currently I have Kumho Ecsta Supra 712's. I love them, they are a great summer tire, but I'm looking for something that will still drive decent in light snow as well. Also, having a good wet...

    Which slot did you install the sway too on your LCA's? Outside, middle, or inner?

    New Suspension is in!!!

    Update: 1. To install the CTR Rear Sway, without already having the right "D Brackets" you will need to purchase your own from your nearest Acura dealership, just ask for the ones that fit a 2001 Type R. 2. The ride is alittle bouncey, but atleast IMO not in a bad way. Suspension sounds...

    New Suspension is in!!!

    Well, besides having a spring rate that I like and being ride height adjustable, 650 shipped was a nice price for a full cover.

    Adjustable End Links

    Anyone have any experience with Adjustable Endlinks for a rear swaybar? Im looking at the package from PasswordJDM for the ASK brace with Rear Sway and not sure if I should just stick to my stock endlinks, or get adjustables. What are the pro's/con's with them?

    ASR Frame Brace

    Quick question, I get an ASR Brace, can I / do I still need a rear lower tie bar? Anyone have a picture with an ASR Brace and a lower tie bar? Its hella late and for the life of me I can't picture where the tie bar would connect but, it seems that the ASR Brace does the same thing the tie bar...

    Front lower tie bars / new suspension setup

    Good call on the Sway Bar, I was thinking about that on the way home. Thanks much for the advice, but I think ill still get the Neuspeed Bar and see how it does.
