how was it driving it NA? just like stock feel?


before it was auto, now it has si tranny with 9lb flywheel & 6 puck. car also weighed about 200 lbs less than before. So all those changes at once made it feel faster than stock. Plus I went from a d15b7/y8 mini-me to a fresh D16z6.
So it felt faster- engine gained more power as it got more miles and broke in.

I need to install the 450cc's, 2.5 bar map, buy Hondata S300 and have it put in my P28 then get it tuned.
I don't know if I'll get the bumper painted in time, and doubt my interior will be together, highly doubt new brakes will be on.

The turbo setup is 95% complete. :woot:
I've been neglecting my build thread lately, but there will be a lotto come when I am able to catch up :thumb:

Image
my engine bay before...


Image
turbo installed!


Image
the ONLY filter I could find that would fit, and that was after I did some cutting/shortening on the base and denting in the mesh to clear the back of the headlight.


Image
I went to push the car out and notice that it sat so long in the same place that spiders webbed it to the floor :lol:


Image
Image
first time the car saw day light in about 10 months!

Image
Had to buy a new gasket & snap ring for my BOV, not installed yet in pic.


Image
Drained the old gas before taking it to the tuner and ran into a fuel leak
:(
Even with a new crush washer, the drain bolt would not seal and dripped slowly. Here I had to angle the car to stop the leak and tried putting hondabond on the threads. Have not been back to see if it worked yet...

Image
since I'm getting old (turn 31 tomorrow) I decided to sacrifice some weight for comfort. I started to put my interior back in. Gutted was loud as hell on the highway and my cargo rattled all over the place. I still may leave the back seats out and build some kind of flat floor eventually.

Image
as i last left the car waiting for the hondabond to dry...

I hope to get it tuned this week, I decided to pony up and buy hondata s300 instead of the free CROME software.

That's all for now...

I'd be afraid to take that thing on the road unless there was something akin to "The Happening" or "I Am Legend" haha, too many bad drivers, thieves, etc.
