the old turbo was a tiny unit(i forget the specifics)that came from an FMAX kit.at 10 pounds it ran out of breath by 7kRPM and fell off bigtime.response was killer though-as good as any factory turbo car....it ended up having a valve stem welded to the compressor wheel when i over-revved it.
the 35r is Brian's old turbo.it's been collecting dust for a while now.i think i'm gonna keep the 750s for now.they'll limit my power to a resonable level,which is good since this is a stock sleeve engine.i'm trying to get the car going as cheaply as possible anyway.when/if i do the new block i'll go with bigger injectors.

Cool, sounds like a good time. You've been using an EMS to tune the car correct? What have you been using for knock detection, or did you tune the car on a dyno?

Can't say the Honda knock sensor is worth much anyway

i know.it was weird,it never threw a code with the P30,so i assumed it was fine.when i installed the EMS and got it tuned,there was no output on the knock circuit.i replaced the sensor and checked the wiring before the next time i went to the dyno,and it still wasn't working correctly.
screw it-i'll know it's knocking when it blows up........again.

So,today i cleaned the car up to take some pics.....and it rains tonight,of course.lighting sucks-couldn't get a good spot since there were quite a few cars around.hope to get better pics soon.

anyway,i've changed a few things since i got the car a few weeks ago:
-traded for DS2 wheels
-Ellipsoid headlights with HID
-lowered the front 1"(needs a little more,i think)
-trunk lip spoiler
-splitters under chin spoiler
-M grille badge

....everything is just cosmetic,riceboy shit
only performance stuff i added is an intake.

Car looks very good, but the clear front markers and badge need to go!

you don't like the smoked markers?i thought it cleaned it up a good bit-and i normally hate ricer clear corners,but the stock orange just stood out so badly on the light colored car.
the M badge isn't exactly what i wanted.when i ordered it,i thought it was much smaller,like on an E30 M3.i paid enough for it though,that when i got it i said fuck not using it!

Looks way better with them wheels. I don't think the clear corners look that bad on it. As long as you don't start ordering them for your Honda's lol.
