That I am, looking for a small civic size just to help reduce weight.

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

Wow John...get her done man.... That looks freaking sweet.

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

I may have a stock Honda radiator. Unless your looking for an after market Honda sized one?

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

Damn. That looks very nice :)

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

Very nice, John!

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

Yeah, those wiring harnesses can be a bitch, but it's lookin' good. Nice AIT sensor location. (are you using multiple aits's?).

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

Just the one for now. The few little things to finish: mount the radiator and make coolant hoses, run the oil feed and drain for the turbo, run the water lines for the water to air, tin around the fuel cell and trunk, run the battery wires, finish the interior wires(gauges and the alternator/fuse box, run a few switches for fans and the water pump, clean out and tighten fittings in the fuel system, finish mount the fuel pump, load base map break in car and tune, so not that much. I am also looking into removing the sun roof, gutting all the doors and putting in lexan windows, and a carbon fiber hood would be cool but not until next year.

Saw the car on Saturday, looking good!

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

Make sure to run 19's for daily use.

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

hahaha yea! You should pick up those bling rims that SGH had for sale :P

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

I think a set of Weld wheels(or similar, light) and full slicks will be in order befor it sees the track.

~John

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

I have a little more done on the car, radiator and hoses are almost done, the wiring is almost done, and I decided to remove the dash and make a custom gauge cluster. I have cut down the alternator harness to where I need it, now its time to run the wires for it. I hope to have it at the fall dyno day. The car will be tuned on E85 or c-16, it depends when MN switchs to the winter mix.

~John

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

Bah, use E98, much cheaper and the blend is consistent.

Good to see you're keeping it and getting her done.

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

^second that, keep it buddy, its cool that you have had that car since HS, don't give it up and if you ever need a hand after hours let me know.

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

Lies.

C-16 noob.

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

I am running on hopes and dreams, and I might have to push it across the line.

"after 10, 15 grand tops, over night parts from Japan if we have to, it will desimate all." "I need 2 big bottles, and I need it by tonight", the only time in the hole move they referd to it has Nitrous Oxide, not nawwwzzzz.

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

Shouldn't you guys be working somewhere?

(I am on hold transfering a call!).

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

Nope. I jsut got back from the shop. Thanks john! I think every issue is fixed! It pulls, shifts through the gears when I pound them, doesn't die on me..etc. Too bad the end of the year is here, and If I tuned it would be a waste. So, I'll wait till I get those parts we talked about onto my car, then tune. I think this time around the clutch will hold, and the car will rev out!

-A. Swift

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

I took out the dash and every wire that was on it, shaved about 40lbs. Next to go is the stock stearing wheel and install my Grant I have at home. Then I just need to finish running the few wires in the car to control everything. I am using switches and relays for everything. I still need to clean up the gauge holder and make the mounts but you get the idea.

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

10 bucks says that tach never sees 10. lol ;)

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

I love how the boost gauge goes to 100psi. That's just crazy funny

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

I plan to rev untill the motor stops making good power, and after I shift its back on power again(full boost). So I might or might not have to rev to or past 10k.

~John

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

Just get it running for the dyno day, keep boost and power down until you get all the bugs worked out, then let'er buck! Wonder how much power that turbo will make at 20psi :D

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

260ish?

-A. Swift

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

He didn't ask what you made ;).

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

lmao, PWNT.

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

I have 23psi springs in my Tials, so I think 25ish will be my min boost. I plan on running atleast 35psi to start, power should be in the 6xx.x awhp range at that boost.

~John

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

perhaps if the tune was half-way decent then it coulda made the power ass-fuck! :D

-A. Swift

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

Or if the setup wasn't mis-matched? :rollinglaugh::Banane55:

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

^ouch. Truf=teh suck for you.
I think your tuning costs just went up.

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

WTF?

~John

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

Requiring big brown to make sense is asking too much.

more pics! :D

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

I will finish some more stuff tonight and post some more pics, what do you want to see?

~John

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

That is not a wise bet! The old motor with a crappy 60 trim, was at some times launched at 8 or 9...I can't remember. All I know is I was sure the flywheel would be sawing thru my pants as soon as John let the clutch out.

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

Video of the car idling :D

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

I am sure you rember this also. "Watch the boost gauge, it should say 25."

~John

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

WTF, where did you come from?

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

He never left.

I didn't have any specific pics in mind, It just might be fun to look at it, how about a pic of whatever you are working on right now.

also, was it hard to get the dash out with the cage in there?
