A few quality pix with CJ89's EP3






Also changed the fuel filter, when I got it out I found that it's never been changed lol...first fuel filter change in 167,000 miles hahaha.

Trying to decide what direction I want to take with my EM1. I'm planning on rebuilding the B16A2, but not sure if I want to rebuild it low compression, for boost, or high compression, for NA build. I'd like to run autox with it but still have it as a fun DD. I'm thinking if I go turbo then I'd probably put in a smaller turbo that would begin spooling quickly. Not too sure yet, but it's still up in the air until I pay off my credit card and can afford to buy a cheaper car that I can fix up quickly and make it slow and reliable in order to park the EM1 in the garage to be able to pull the engine.

If you wanna do autox stick with n/a. You don't spend much time out of 2nd gear, so a balanced powerband n/a is ideal, or so I've heard. I don't autox, so don't take that as fact.

Do suspension first..
I got plenty of plans for suspension as well. I'm just not sure what I wanna do on my engine. And I decided that I want to spend money on building the engine first because of how much oil I lose from daily driving.

it depends on what class you would be in for auto x. If your gonna be in a class that allows turbos or such mods your prolly gonna end up needing it to compete if its a class with basically stock motors youd be fine with NA, but some of the more serious mods that come with a real full NA build may take you out of that as well. Just have to look up all the classes and decide what you want to compete in and that might help you out a good bit. I dont autox so not postive on any of this thats why im saying check lol.

Where did you find you're wing? I really want an OEM wing for my ride!
Found it on forums. I believe I got mine for $100 shipped. Just post a thread that you are looking for an OEM Si wing in a specific color. I'm sure someone has one laying around somewhere =)

I will, but I wanna rebuild my engine first! I'm thinking of doing a mild NA build affordable and not enough to kick me up too many classes. Maybe 180-200whp?

I'll give you guys three guesses what these are for. The first two don't count xD




Going on tomorrow night, I'll have pix up after that from before, during, and after installation
