How much power are you actually putting to the ground?
yup thats the way i like ithere is the update on it i had to change the intercooler potion and redo the charge pipes so it can reach my throttle body finally figured out how to ge all the stuff to fit all i need to do is fill it with oil and get one of those 90 degrees "cobra head" coupler to connect the turbo to the intercooler directly and i can do the very first start up for couple mins since i still need to get lower radiator hose, radiator fan, 4AN to 1/2 in barb fittings and weld on my Tial Q bov flange on the charge pipe and make a down pipe.
i plan to get a velocity stack to connect to the the turbo inlet to put in the that big gap that i now have on the driver side of the bumper
my internals are good til 900hp

just wish i had the money for a cage
that would tie the interior up really nicely. any suggestion on carpet colors?I'm not much fan of colored carpet, but I'd do blue. I always personally saw red as a bad color for carpet on a car.. but that's just me loljust wish i had the money for a cage
my AP1 cluster with the lights on
this is when i was uploading my own base map to my S300
i used to have red seat in my car back in the summer time trade my friend for his SI seats front and rear plus 200$ cash on top
here is some pics of my motor at its early stages.
this is when i honed the cylinder walls
installed my ARP main studs to hold my bottom end better
next up i installed my balance shaft delete kit from KS tuned. this required me to putt off the oil pump...
then i was able to pull out my balance shafts from the block
then i preceded to put the block off dowel pins in the girdle
picture of the block with the shafts removed and pump removed.
my custom pistons finally came after a month of wait time...
my Skunk2 Alpha series H beam rods rated up to 900hp!!
rod and piston assembled together
here is the block assembled.
then i got a sweet deal on a JDM T2T4 lsd transmission through a good friend
lsd doesn't have the metal bar going through the center. good way to tell if its equipped with lsd or a open differential
block off installed into the pump with new crank seal.
did my rear main seals as well.
back together agian. i know it looks pretty gross but i did clean it up later on.
finally got my twin disc clutch took a bit for me to get it since the previous seller basically f**ked the order up big time twice and i ended up going to someone else for the clutch. ordered from REAL ST. really cool guys and staff for getting the clutch out to me asap.
twin disc installed!!!
finally bought my h22a1 vtec head.
my Supertech valvetrain finally came!!!
90lb seat pressure dual valve springs
decided to port and polish my head while its apart.
removing my old valvetrain.
putting in some work on the head.
updated my lost motion assembly to the later h22a model since its equiped with "bee hive" springs and can handle high rpm better then the old designs
cylinder head back together.
doing test fitment on to the block
fits like stock!!!
double check everything to make sure everything is in order. and for final install with the timing belt on.
my bottom mount D.O.C race manifold T3 flange with 44mm TIAL MVR wastegate flange welded on.
checking the manifold fitment to the motor its self.
