damn cant wait…i love this thread
Would you be able to post some info on the RDX injectors and what was done to get them to fit out mani’s thanks.
:rockon: for budget time attacks
newbie here but how the hell did you tape off the lip for paint?
Thanks guys!
inneedofhelp: you can either machine your fuel rail to fit the injector, or machine the plastic of the injector to fit the rail. I had the injector machined, and used the factory O-rings and seals (minus the spacer on the top of the injector) and it fits just like stock. You just have to also remove the spacers between the fuel rail and the manifold (the brown-ish ones), as the RDX injectors are almost exactly that much shorter.
iveeno: I spent a little bit thinking about how to tape and get a clean line, and finally decided that masking around the inside base of the lip would give me the cleanest circular line, you can see in the pic below, I taped the inside line first and used my finger as a guide to keep it level, then I taped the outside of the lip to seal it from any overspray.
Other three wheels finished up:
Some valve cover work (waiting on parts so I’m left to some DIY stuff!):
Two weeks from install, header should arrive around then too!! :rockon:
what size wheels are they cant really tell fom pictures
They’re 17x7" 
.
Vtec valve covers look sexy shaved.
Nice work. Love the metalcast paint work. Make sure to use a good clear coat on top of it though or it will discolor. I used that paint a good bit, did my shave, filled B20B cover and comp-tech box in that paint followed by 4-5 coats of clear out of the spray gun.
Keep it up!
Nice work there bro! I have a slightly different plan for the valve color, will be 3 colors used on it, keepin that on the down-low until it’s installed in the car though!:read:
Really nice build. I love those wheels.
when you get tires put on those rims let me know if the paint gets chipped … if it doesnt chip let me know what all you did for such a clean and good stick to the rim lol … mine chipped of in a few places when i got new tires
Word, cant wait to see it, keep up us updated.
Beautiful!
man the wheels look really great good work time attack style haha w00t =]
Wow.
MY IDOL!! I just went through the full post and was amazed. You make it look so easy to build an engine. Or is it really that easy for anyone?
It looks so nice also the wheels look amazing.
Good job.
Have you figured out the colors for the valve cover yet or is it still under wraps?
come on more pictures lol
Haha, thanks guys … don’t have any more pictures until my parts arrive here (Monday) … after that, the last ones will arrive on the 26th and it’ll be good to go! I’ll have all the fuel system parts, wiring harnesses, and gaskets this Monday so hopefully I can get more done!
Thanks for viewing!
