Now on to some photos. Starting point:

- I got looking at how he had his vacuum lines hooked up and noticed the wastegate, Boost-controller and blow-off valve were running off the same source. I got it sorted out and the car did run better.

- My Asian buddy who use to drive the most riced out integra years ago has been telling me he is going to a sports car. I guess he has been really saving his money. Paid in full (title in his name ha) 13 GTR Black Edition: shipping - tax - reg - etc etc.... 120k He tells me why mess around and waste all your money, just buy one from the factory ready to go. Car is simply amazing.

- Rent out this storage unit by a apartment complex for $90 a month, power included. I got lucky and scored this unit. Mine had been isolated and the second biggest out of the other 6. This is pretty much where all my stuff is and like it here instead of being at my house. I like to keep a clean shop and know where my stuff is at. Not enough room for two so i took my other project to my house.

Looks good, hopefully you only find good surprises along the way

- After researching and measuring I started working on doing AN for the coolant lines. With no luck on finding 14mm x 1.5 to -8AN banjo I found it only to -6AN ebay. These will be running off my Turbo




- Ordered weld on -6AN for my thermostat housing.

I like where this is headed. Looking good so far. Cant wait to see it after all the kinks are worked out!

 

- Through the week parts were showing up. One of them i was surprise to see so soon. That would be the JDM double din. I ordering it just before i got my car. Coming from Japan figured I would get it on the way. I been checking out everyones interior set up and really like the triple gauge pod where the radio goes. That will probably be my next set up.

Very nice keep it up!
First time I saw arp exhaust bolts too! Nice

 

- Just received my lower intercooler piping back from being powder coated. Dont like it being two pieces so im going to have it welded together and spray paint it


.

...

.
- Test fitted my radiator and its sits pretty close to my wastegate. Need to figure out my fan option too.

- Its been a while since posted up anything but let me get you guys caught up to date. I had my car looked at by Mikey at Insane

Speed in Vegas. The cars tune was really off from what he saw. He got it dialed in and was happy with how it ran. Now that its winter again

I started planning out stuff that I want to make better and to make it more drivable.
.
..
...
....
...
..
.
- Must say i was happy to complete what i did during the first stage. The only thing was driving it with the clutch. It was such a pain. Now its that time again (winter)




.
..
...
....
...
..
.

Plan for this winter:

- Stock Recaros

- Twin Disc Clutch

- Port, Vband & Ceramic coat the manifold

- Tial Vband Wastegate

- Build a 3in O2 housing

- Build Up pipe w/ Vanjen or Wiggins Clamp

- Build a 3in Intake pipe

- Relocate battery

- Speed density kit

- Tial BOV

- Full Blown Throttle body

 

- Started the "Tear down" on my car. As I was removing parts I was also checking clearances on some of the stuff I am going to redo.


.
..
...
....
...
..
.
- One is going to be the Oil Return set up. Planning on doing a -10AN set up. Looks like its gonna be a tight fit.


.
..
.

.
..
...
....
...
..
.
- Like I posted earlier, my Radiator Fan was sticking out too far and wouldn't fit my intake pipe between the fan and lower radiator hose. Thinking that I might need to ditch the Injen one and build a new 3in one.


.
..
...
....
...
..
.
- Another one that I need to redo is my O2 housing. Saw on jid2's build which he was running the same manifold, that its a tight fit to do a 3in one but he was running his dump tube out the bottom while im going to run my out my hood. Hopefully that will give me some room to make it work.


.
..
...
....
...
..
.
.........To be continued

 

- Once I got my turbo off the manifold I noticed how off the ports was. Went to our local auto parts store and bought some cheap steel bits which was a complete waste of money. Should of known better, its not worth going cheap. Went back and bought a Carbide bit.


.
..
.

.
..
.
- After


.
..
...
....
...
..
.
- Lot of build up from the welds to the flange. The gasket is dead on. Just need to blend it as close as I can without disrupting the structure of it.


.
..
...
....
...
..
.
- Need to find a super long carbide bit to clean up some of the left over debris.


.
..
...
....
...
..
.
- The biggest surprise was the how much the turbine housing was off.


.
..
...
....
...
..
.
- Wasn't sure how much material I could remove without making it too weak for it to crack or break so I just smoothed it out.


.
..
...
....
...
..
.
- Hopefully it will be ok... Time will tell I guess. Turbine housing port matched looks much better!!


.
..
...
....
...
..
.
- Hopefully with all this and 3in O2 housing will help with spool and keep the temps down. All im waiting on is my Tial Vband wastegate to get here so I can get the flange welded on and send it off the get ceramic coated.

 

After getting a Civic fan/shroud from Mishimoto modified to fit on my radiator, I wasn't too sure if I could get it to work how it was intend to. I got my intake to temporally fit by running the fan on the inside of the shroud. It doesn't help how Injen has a weird shape in there pipe.




You can see even the way I mounted it, it was still rubbing on the lower rad hose and on the backside of the fan cover.






Started shaving whatever I could to narrow it down.






Clearly this isn't gonna be enough. Started looking at the fan and noticed how there was a plate between the backside of the motor and mishimoto cover. Between that and shaving down the mounting post that's about 3/4 of an inch more for clearance.






Feel pretty good about fitting a new intake with this clearance.

 

- Never liked how Mishimoto's overflow fitting went straight out. Wanting to do it in an Earls or russels fitting but I had to go from a 1/16 to an 1/8 NPT. Ordered a 1/8NPT - 90degree - 1/4 Barb fitting

- Finish result





- Pretty stoked how it came out. Hope it doesn't leak haha

- APR bolts looks sick


.

- Need to drill out the Turbine housing

 

Car is coming along nicely. Good luck with the Build.
