#5 sounds right. This is a badge of pride Tony! Don't cry about it!

i just want to be done with it and eat some damn turkey.

You know... one day, when I'm 350lbs., driving a Hovervan, flying my kids to space-soccer, I'm going to look back on all the pain and suffering I voluntarily put myself through and get all teary-eyed. I'll then try and slap a turbo on my nuclear generator to get the extra few megatons of thrust out of it.

lolz

I'm not even boosted and I'm in pain. Bought an Intercooler with Inlet/Outlets on opposite sides, ya I'm not even gonna attempt that one.

Purchased a new one with inlet/outlets on the same side.

Bought RSXS Injectors and decided that 220WHP was the goal. Need to sell RSX injectors to buy SRT4's

No place to relocate my battery so I prey it all fits.

Jackass I bought the manifold from put a 90 degree bend on the wastegate tube. Now I have to reweld something that DOESN'T look like the letter "L".

Finally got all of my crap though...well almost all of it. lol

You guys know AEM supplies the cam gears to Hondata? I did not know that....

speedfoos · 02-01-2008

LOL - see, the problems start before you even get going on the build. I had heard that the k-pro cam gear was an AEM one. Get an Optima Rep Top and mount that fucker underneath your rear deck, in the trunk.

Still having my turbo drain leak. Gonna pull it off again tomorrow and slather a shit load of RTV on it. Piece of crap.

I have a red top and I considered that but I have a false floor in the trunk and sedan handles on my coupe. As of now, if the battery dies, climbing thorugh the trunk is my only option. Try doing that with a red top in your way. lol

However, I DO have 0 guage run all the way back there....

tuningmycivic · 02-01-2008

i got a yellow top and bolted a custom tray to the floor between the spare and the opening, then hacked the bottom out of a mr gasket battery box and voila!

i don't have the trunk carpet or that cardboard piece in there anymore though....

Rufus · 02-01-2008

Ya, but my trunk is already consumed by this....

speedfoos · 02-01-2008

Put it right here. That's where mine was until I pulled the sub box and put it in the front middle of the trunk.

Rufus · 02-01-2008

What was it mounted to though? That false floor isn't secured. It would have to mount to the side....somehow....

speedfoos · 02-01-2008

Plenty of body crap behind the side carpet that you could bolt up a bracket or two to secure it.

LogicWavelength · 02-04-2008

Ah... the joy of this thread returns. What about the fact the manifold isn't made of stainless? or is it? Because mine's not... and it's a rust-ball now.
