Project Turbo D16 has begun

[sohc_vtec 2NR]

The day has finally arrived after saving up for almost a year, thanks to my buddy for loaning me some cash and letting me use his garage!

2/11/04
Here's me when I withdrew $2100 to pay for the GReddy 19T kit/Type-S BOV/Radiator Cap/BOV Flange..we had a lil bit of fun..

2/26/04
The day that I finally got the damn thingS

3/2/04
The start of the install process...
Here's what happened when you try to make too much room in the garage, the car accidentally rolled back into a workbench while tryin' to drive the car up on ramps... :mad: there goes another $300 for a CF trunk, its gonna be painted of course...

Here's a before shot of the engine bay, current setup: AEM Short Ram/GReddy EVO.

Here's an after shot after working on it for about 2-2 1/2 hours.. we took the bumper and headlights out, disconnected the aem intake and exhaust manifold, drained oil, removed oil filter, and lastly assembled the exhaust manifold/turbo/elbow together, then i went in the hot tub! :yes:

This install will be continued this thursday since my buddy will be working...and my lucky ass will be bummin' rides of people for about a week! We'll keep you guys updated...

I'd have to agree with that, my little monster can flat out run with some bad ass s**t. Example: 1999 Saleen S281. Not with a supercharged lightning though

This is great... I wanna hear from more people who are doing this also. I hope to do it too. I found a pretty good site with an install thought I'd link it up since it goes with this topic:
