I thought i would make a thread that was dedicated to the evolution of my car. And just for kicks, i added pics of my old CRX also.

I built all the turbo kits on my cars. And damn, looking back, my stuff just kept getting nicer and nicer as i did it more and more.

So heres a look at the evolution of my car, from earliest to newest.

so enjoy!

I will upload more pics later as i finish more parts. But more or less, this is where i am in progress.

just a little collage i guess. I am missing a lot of pics, like the 2 turbo kits where i had an air-water intercooler. And one more of a different kit i had. But all in all, its there.

lol. yea. i had to ditch all of the associations i had with that POS shithole of a shop. I havent spoken to him in over a year, and i hope he ends up in a gutter somewhere face down with a homeless bum urinating on his head.

somehow after taking everyones money (including mine), he managed to keep getting local business. He is still doing the same ****! I cannot believe it!

LOOK THE BASTARD WAS EVEN IN MY WEDDING!!! i found out about a month later that he stole all the money, and it was HIS FAULT that i was not getting paid!!! And he had the nerve to be in my wedding.

damnit, now im pissed.

better go play with the puppy to calm me down.

so what do you guys think of the placement of my turbo?

It isnt a small turbo either. It is a turbonetics T3/60-1 hybrid with a stage 3 exhaust turbine.

I put it there to try to make it more of a sleeper. I painted that aluminum heat shield black. And all the intercooler piping runs underneath the stock plastic air box into my GSR intake manifold. I am even going to top off the look by buying and installing a car bra. its going to look like some old ladys car, but have 400 whp.

wow, i never knew you were catalyst either until i saw that pic of your silver civic with the turbo kit.

is the guy that screwed you over the SF guy? and what happened to that turbo kit that was on your 7thgen?

oh and out of curiousity, how quick was the turbo'd CRX? you were running it on the stock D15 right? my beater is a '90 civic sedan and i was wondering how fast it would actually be with a turbo (for ***** and giggles).

 
Rep Power: 285

yea, that is stafford himself.

i sold all the kits to my car. I am building yet another one.

My crx was an HF with a SOHC ZC in it. I still had the POS tall *** geared HF tranny in it. I went 14.4 @ 100 mph on 15 psi. And i never shifted out of 2nd gear. Thats how tall the gears were on the tranny. I made 217 whp on 10 psi. Never dynod it on 15. But it ran good. I ran 15 psi daily. I still wonder how fast it would have been if i swapped the tranny out to the Si tranny. I see crx's going 13.2 with the same amount of power that i had.

thats interesting. i totally know what you mean about the tall gears. my beater civic can go to almost 50mph in second gear. did you have to modify the internals for the motor to handle the extra power of the turbo?

 
Rep Power: 285

no. actually, it was all bone stock. Only mods other than the turbo were my rims/tires, and an ACT 6-puck clutch, xtreme pressure plate, and lightened flywheel.

I had no idea you were catalyst. I can't wait to see your car done, oh by the way how much psi are you thinking of running? I can't believe stafford is still doing business, he is so lucky I don't live in California or else I would rip his f____ng head off. That mother F___r stole $2000 from me for the deposit towards the turbo kit. I hope he gets whats coming. But anyway good luck with the engine building and your shoulder.

 
Rep Power: 285

yea. I cant believe the **** that was pulled there.

But i will update with more pics when i make more progress. I should have some pics of the block soon. I should get it back sometime this week. So i will post pics when i get them.
