Here Is My Car!! Jdm Rsx Type-r Turbo Install
 

HI all, I am JoeDc5 on 2k2 civic, I have finally got to the turbo. I have completed a JDM RSX TYPE-R motor swap and it's now in the process of getting turbo charged. I handed the car to RPM in NY to do this challenging task. their website is www.rpmnyc.com. Here are some pics. Enjoy and let me know what you think. 300-350whp when completed.

Paint looks brighter than pleasejoe's...
What's with the white grill? :shrug:

:rockon: :rockon: That motor is pimp. But im not fellin the exterior.

The white grill matches the white dash. It's my personal tast

yeh bright color, but looks tight.

Thanks, If you click on my ride and view the gallery you'll see some pics of the car from the side and you will notice the paint is a little darker than what you see. At sunset it's looks so good and dark.

Jdm Rsx Type-r Turbo Install...wow, thats a mouthful...say that 10x's fast!

That is a sick ride!!!!!!!! Except the exterior/interior colors, with those engine mods it would make a killer sleeper.

OMG!!! That motor doesnt go wit the car!! MY CAR DOES!!! lol

That motor is pimp 100% the rest hum

i dont even think thats still considered a civic! lol

i hope i don't ever get taste buds like you. that grill is uglyyyyyy. other than that, pretty nice. i might do ya a favor and sneak up and paint it one night.

car is ugly as hell.. but the heart is ****ing beautiful.

your car goes with that car? huh? :confused:

its whats on the inside that counts ;)

exactly

Hmm. the guys seem to think the car is ugly but it's funny I won first place in a huge show in a class of over 100 civis. 9for the motor 10 for the exterior 9 for the interior and rest all 9's. to tell you the truth guys I really want to paint the car jet black put the stock bumpers, keep the black tails and headlight and tint the windows complete black. I would leave the Hood wing, fenders and rip off that wings west kit! This way it looks like a sleeper but when they hear that BOV they won't know what hit em!

Holy Sh*** I did not relize how bright the car looks in those pics!!!

engine is fcukin crazy, im not really feelin the kit/paint though.

No offense, but...Damn your car is ugly! I like what you've done to the engine bay though! :D Freakin pimp!

I like the paint.

yea dude get rid of all the RICEY SHIT!!!!

10 thumbs up for the motor!!!!

ugly.

wanna trade motors?

how much did it cost altogether?

BTW good job on the motor, but paint ur car black liek u said u wanted to

Motor -> Yes!

Body -> No!

...sorry dude, there are reasons that Honda unfortunately is automatically assumed 'rice'... that body is one of them.

I will give you props for the blood, sweat, and tears put into that, I know how that feels. :-/

yea props for the motor. But u need to change da color of the car

I don't understand how it's rice, What I think is rice is people driving around with kits they are painted different colors or not painted at all!! Why does honda automatically become assumed rice? Wings West makes nice kits and so does Kaminari. I see people drivin around with cars and kits falling apart. At least mine is not one of them. Still if it so rice why the HELL did I win first place in the honda class???? I saw the grade sheet. Everyone at the show thought the car was hot and said it had style and it seems smooth. The judges also thought it was unique that I painted the grill and were impressed.

Oh for the price. I bought a JDM rsx front clip for 10,000. I keep the Steering wheel :-)
I bought the clip when hasport had mounts in the making so that is why it was so high. I bought 2,600 in turbo parts. BOV, RevHard Ball Bearing Turbo, Injectors, Hondata K pro ECU, Waste Gate, Intercooler. and 2,200 for labor, custom piping made from scratch, tuning, misc stuff. So all together now it runs into for about 14,800 plus the mounts, wiring harness, custom 400 hp axles courtasy of the driveshaft shop, hasport cooling fan. So it runs into alot of money and when done step by step it doesn't seem that way.
