Yeah, I've doing some research and may not be doing the Y8 mani swap. It may not be worth it in the end. They're sitting in a box home and when I get back on the 24th, I'll see what the deal is. The only thing I have is pictures right now. I'll see if I can get my wife to take some side by side comparison pics of the Y8 injectors and the RSX-S ones tonight and will post them up.

Ah good! I couldn't remember what I ordered, I thought it was a 5-bolt. Excellent!! That's means I may only have to put a piece of flex pipe on my exhaust to make the DP work. Shweet!!
On the gauge pods, I just bought the gray 3 pillar and the black Mickey Mouse from a place on Ebay. They're not here yet either....

^^^ Lots involved here. Me and a couple guys have taken a serious look at it. The EGR channel is in issue. The D17 has one, the D16 doesn't, and the D17 EGR hole lines up with the coolant one on the D16.

Naw man. All the stuff I know about turbos I've learned in the past year or two. Its not like my mom had Corky Bell's Maximum Boost playing on a Walkman while I was still in the womb. That book, this forum, and d-series.org have taught me everything I know about turbos.

Don't worry about that Andy. I want all these parts out of my office and on the damn car. Welding still isn't finished anyway. Plus my downpipe has two O2 bungs, I only have the one pre-cat sensor and I don't have a plug for the other hole. It has to go in!

There is absolutely no telling Travis. I'm honestly just having a whole lot of fun doing this. I want to get into custom fabrication, but I'm getting old. If I can hit 400 on pump gas and still be able to drive it on the street (k-pro with 2 boost profiles) I will be as happy as a pig in the mud.

OK, I think I just wet myself after watching that video. That looks like some serious fun.

See what i mean! lol it gets me going also! i'd love to have a engine like that in my car... i mean there would be no point to driving fast on the street, i'd save it for only the track. Just my em2, and a big smile on my face... if u can see though my racing helmet i'd be forced to buy lol
