Yep, I've gone and done it. I don't think mine will be as spectacular as Clint's (speedfoos) build, but it'll be enough for me I think.

Enough chit chat, ON WITH THE PICS!!

A little hard work and time and you too can boost-it-yourself

Before I started:




Work in progress:






The wife got bored:



Torque wrench I got from AutoZone was crap. Gonna take it back in the morning so this is how she sits for tonight:




PnP harness FTMFW!!!


I'm hoping to have everything in and ready for first startup by Friday. Then next week I can work out the tune with Chris

I like your screwdriver holders in the rad support, classy, how many times have you forgotten that you put them there?

lol i always thought u looked like the white dude as your avatar...

[speedfoos]

Excellent stuff Tony! Take your time and let me know if you need anything.

Are you changing out the HG when you install the studs? I just realized that you don't techinically have to pull it to get them in, but I don't know how well the gasket will reseal once you torque them back down. You can try it and if it doesn't leak, then you've saved yourself about 5 hours of work!

Thumbnails FTMFL!!!! But let's see if I can't fix that with this POS govvie computer I'm using at work right now.

Done!

[tuningmycivic]

ha ha...yeah, i didn't want to post up the big pics man. i forgot to resize them when i hosted them. thanks though. and I didn't change the HG. I didn't move anything around and I'm hoping the gasket will reseal well enough. I think I'm gonna need some kind of spacers for the fuel rail though...the rsx injectors are quite a bit longer than the stockers...

What??? So SOME of us have had problems... so who you singling out? Just cuz I'm probably slower than before I turboed it doesn't mean it's not fun to drive before 3500RPM!!! Part of the fun IS weeping softly to yourself over all the complications... right speedfoos/andyman97/FoSho/dopes6070 and all of our T.E.A.R.S. supporters?

[speedfoos]

Yeah, I had an extra set of spacers from when I bought my RSX-S injectors from Zack (the user formerly known as Sujak) so I used those along with the stock spacers. Turned out to be exactly the right height. You will also have to use either longer studs or replace them with belts - I did the latter.

Yes, be prepared for headaches and get ready to claim your T.E.A.R.S. member number!

Speaking of which I failed emissions today. Too rich at idle. I knew that as my idle keeps bouncing all over the place. As soon as my serial cable gets here I'm going to be pain in Chris's ass again until we get it locked down - but we were able to tune around my P1106 DTC so that's one for the good guys!
