Johnny racecar 8" intercooler
pwr civic radiator to help keep things cool
garrett t3/04e 57 trim turbo
Almost complete s.s custom manifold.
Heres the JRC in comparison w/ my currently installed turbo set-up Starion intercooler
Test Fit the JRC. Damn it will look sick when finally installed
heres some pics of my baby. CLean and green
i’m gettin her back into the body shop b/f the swap to get cleaned up some.
new coat…slight bodywork.
I hope to make coverage in a mag like honda tuning or Dsport. Not a cover or anything but like a fetured ride…like half a page would be cool.
its my daily driver so i want to be somewhat modest. I did a lot of reinforcing mainly for “piece of mind” . but i would like 360-380 whp at all times atleast. If i go to dyno and can get more w/o pushing the envelope too much then bring it on…ya know?
the older (smaller) intercooler in the back is off a mistubishi starion. I had the endtanks modified to come out the sides. Its a good intercooler. I’m swaping them b/c i wanted to basically have a larger intercooler, and attempt to fill out my whole front nose…
figure give fair warning to those who will fall victom to the coupe either way
B Is Now In And Has About 1200 Miles On Her!!! Check It Out!!!
To start off i removed my whole front clip so as to not risk scratching the paint. My mom loved the fact that for months the garage and basement turned into a honda/import shop warehouse.lol
Ahh the old d16y8 sohc custom turbo kit. you served me well and i learned alot building it
disconnected the harness and labled all the plugs for easier install.
UP YA GO!!!
cleaning the single off…courtesy for the next owner. Hey you can see my 1st gen integra in the background in that pic!!! 200 bux u cant beat that.
trade mark engine bay pic!!! right after a good gunk& hose down
dont want anything backing off in that bell housing!!
FRESH!!! just have to relocate the wastgate topside, the straight out approach wont work anf besides top side looks better.lol
like this…
tranny was a BITCH!!! i think worse than the actaull swap…lol
but got her on.
final check over…
UP YA GOO!!!
Like a GLOVE…
strap her down!!!
couldnt help but test fit that intercooler just one last time…
GOD damn is that thing pretty…
here she is with about 800 miles on her at the time of the pic. scrapped the rusty oem mani for a dc sports that was laying around. Figured might as well break her in with style.
