After that I and my brother tryed to put power windows in..........Boy did we try, so i gave up and now the guy who is building my car is going to fin it for me.


Now i was going to put a k24 with a Type S head on and call it a day, but i talked to Don (the guy who is working on my car) he said, do you know what would SICK? I said what, and he said and showed me a video clip og a Eg with a V6.

Where i got all my parts, dirt cheap. Ask for Odin.....like the dog with Garfild, he's my brother and will hook you up. Tell him Hans sent you. ( You must ask for him....not only will it help him out in sales, but he will help you out.....he really goes out of his way to help anyone.)

Well for the hood i saw some ruff pic and i picked out one that will be sick.

wats ur plan for the paint?

wow man, im really hyped on this project. looks awesome! Keep up the good work (dig the cluster btw)

Thanks guys, the paint will have to wait till the end of 09 or march of 2010, but iv already pick out what i want and how is going to go down.

Thanks flip, that cluster is just the tip of the iceberg.

Wats up guys, thought ill put some more pic up for you.

It really came together, looks good man. Love the wheels and the fact thats its a v6...BAD@SS. lol you also just got me motivated to finish my suspension install

I fear. Lol what a beast, I want a v6 civic :(

oh boy oh bo oh boy.seexxxxxx.

5 lug ftw? I like. We're dying to know your plans for the front end though...

nice man, this is sick
aren't the tires going to be too much sidewall on 18" rims?

Yea I was wondering how the clearance was on those.

Sorry man, some times its best to wait. ;)

nice man, this is sick

Well, the Si rims are 17's, but i will have to do a fender and quarter panel's
But they miss by a hair......no joke.
But also i still have to get the car over to the alinement shop to get it right.

Some times you need a push to get somthing done.
But from what iv seen and driven, dont get this set up.
Iv never been in somthing this stiff, i thought at one point i lost 2 fillings.

Sorry man, some times its best to wait. ;)

Its hella better to not wait. lol

Man this is an awesome project it must have cost alot but its going to be fast, ive got a stock honda pilot and that thing is really quick for an suv i cant imagine what its going to be like in that light weight civic

Thanks man....thats why im doing it;)

I'm not sure if makes a difference but I think you may have your rear camber kit installed upside-down. I think it's supposed to be installed looking like this:
http://www.skunk2.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=516-05-0500

Regardless, lookin' awesome!

^ if so i had mine the same way ;) i figured if the upper part of the arm was lower it would clear the wheels easier. i never had a issue with them that way at least... alighment was golden.... ;) so i dont think it really matters.

Some things were done yesterday.
We went ahead and did the shifter,first we sliced off the lip where the stock shifter poped out of, just to see where we had to cut the floor.
We thought we were going to have to cut a hole in the floor like what they do for a K swap, but the shifter fits like a H22, nice and very little room under the center console.
http://i374.photobucket.com/albums/oo184/EK9Clone/032.jpg

Test fit with 99 civic cup holders
http://i374.photobucket.com/albums/oo184/EK9Clone/027.jpg

Test fit with cover and boot.

http://i374.photobucket.com/albums/oo184/EK9Clone/029.jpg

http://i374.photobucket.com/albums/oo184/EK9Clone/030.jpg

So then we cut another hole to feed the cables through the floor to the trans.....i almost cryed.

http://i374.photobucket.com/albums/oo184/EK9Clone/035.jpg

Befor we put the shifter down we also made a plate to cover the hole where the stock shifter came from.
http://i374.photobucket.com/albums/oo184/EK9Clone/033.jpg

http://i374.photobucket.com/albums/oo184/EK9Clone/034.jpg

Shofter goes back on and bolted down, and cables feed through.
http://i374.photobucket.com/albums/oo184/EK9Clone/037.jpg

http://i374.photobucket.com/albums/oo184/EK9Clone/036.jpg

After we hooked up the cables to the tran's we went ahead to hook up the cable to the throttle body............but the cable was way way to long, so we had to custom make our bracket =)
If you can see in this pic of the befor then the after.

Thanks dude.

yeah i came over to this thread specifically to see what you've done about the hood lol i'm looking forward to see how this ends up

one of the coolest swaps i've seen in a while btw, most defintiely here on HCF

ya the hoods gonna look silly.... ;) everyone that sees the civics gonna say WTF that hood is gay...... at least until they see why you had to make the hood that way. ;)

Well im going back to the shop wednesday because there are a ton of @$$ clowns who want to race me because my brother is runing his big mouth,he's saying that my car will run low 12's.
So i told him so shut the front door, but i thik it a little to late, people are now planing to pull me to englishtown to race for money.
I have no clue what this thing is going to do, i see clips on you tube but some times you cant believe them.
The hood on the other had is being mocked up as i type, i might get one or two pic in.

Oh, thanks about saying its one of the coolest swaps on HCF, im just trying to do somthing diff.

well its definitely something different. I cannot wait to see this hood. Ya, my friends are the same way, running their mouths sometimes they just need to relax.

Any updates? I still wanna see the hood...

Well i have some pic's.......but im taking a Video clip tomm, so if you guys can hold on just a little more, i promise it'll be worth it.

Now...this is a very ruff proto of my relay switch for my Auto ECU.
What this does is, the car shifts through the gears, but the ECU is thinking its a Auto while its a 6 speed, so it throws up codes, this chip makes it think the auto trans is there and working well.

http://i374.photobucket.com/albums/oo184/EK9Clone/020.jpg

wow coming together nicely. your crazy for tackling on this project man. thumbs up for you

Thanks man

question.... why not flip the fan and put it on the front to blow air thru the radiator? J/W... or is it not reversable?

also i would clean off those radiator support welds and primer/paint over them again before those welds rust away....

doesnt look like the shop that replaced it they didnt grind down the welds and primer/paint them properly.

The fan cant be reversed.
And thouse welds were there befor, i found out later that the rad was replaced ( i bought the car 2nd hand....never pulled off the cover befor i bought it.....stuped me), but it will be getting primed very soon.

damn dude, that's some pretty hardcore work on that relay board.
how did you figure all that out?

I wish i could take the credit for this, but it really the guy who is helping me build this.
This guy is sick in the head, but also really smart.

just read your entire build....wow...looks sweet man.

Why have I still not seen the hood to this beast? I'm disappointed.

AHHHH how did i miss the post with all the new ctr goodies!!!!
peanutbutter and jealousssyy!!!! but dam is that a tight fit. and im also DIEING to see the hood.

Yea......about the hood, don and i got in a fight about how the hood should be.
He wants it with a ram air look, like when you hit the gas a vent in front of the hood will lift up to suck air into the air intake.
I say NO, keep it simple and clean.
So right now we are going back and forth.

don't do ram air, lollllllllll
also, wouldn't that make you unable to drive in the rain?

+157 my friends suby got fed up when it rained due to a similar hood. luckily only ruined the map sensor.

Thats what i said.......but then again its just the 1st of 3.
Just sucks that this is going to be the 1st one.

you lost me.

Sorry, we are making 3 diff hoods.

oh okay
this is going to be interesting... i can't wait to see the hoods

Wow great build. Can't wait to see the hood.

freaking six build, I can't want to see the hoods either.

I dont know if anyone else gets Honda Tuning, but if you guys get the April issue and go to page 72, they talk a bout the new swap.....V6.

the v6 swap in general? or YOURS? if its yours MADDDD props dude, but i get it, dont have the april one yet, lol.

i just read all 10 pages of this build and im amazed. i know you have heard it enough and its probably getting annoying but i cant wait to see the hood. amazing job on everything

the v6 swap in general? or YOURS? if its yours MADDDD props dude, but i get it, dont have the april one yet, lol.

Naa I'm guessing hes talking about the swap in general I think its starting to happen more often.

Yea, i wish LOL, its just talking about how to do the swap in a Eg.

Its funny you said that, just yesterday 2 other cars pulled in to my friends shop and are doing the swap right now.

As you can se the rebar of the CTR dosnt touch the rear bumprer, so if i get hit in the rear end.......its going to hurt, bad.

The exhaust is touching the bumper cover a bit, nothing a little triming cant fix, but on the plus side, the CTR lip fits nice.

Now some bad news, cash is super low, i even had to hit my farther up just to her out the door, the car will be finished by the end of this month.....just no paint, primer only.
And as you can see by one of my drawings, this is the hood we are going to run with, my friend is still hard on with a vent in front, i dont know, i just want to drive her.

Congrats on such a beautiful car man. I like the look of the hood. Youll be called rice but when you smash on everyone they may rethink that.

Hood drawing looks cool. And yea, you can't really call it rice, because it's actually serving a purpose.

and haha, that grey and yellow screwdriver... I have that same tool set.

I'mjust saying that if I saw a kid driving down the street in a civic with a cowl hood and didn't know what was under....... rice. not this one though <3

i just hope the muffler drawling isnt going to be done like that.LOL

and IMO i would build a better rear bumper brace. or at least extend that bar back some more...

I really dont have much of a choice on hw the hood will look like.
Its a hood or no hood.

Yea, it will come out a bout a inch, but again, its a CTR =)

i dont get what the difference is between CTR rear bumper..... you got a comparison picture?
or is it just the ctr has a light weigh brace and thats it....

I'mjust saying that if I saw a kid driving down the street in a civic with a cowl hood and didn't know what was under....... rice. not this one though <3

yea i get you. If I saw that hood on the street I would at first think rice but upon thinking about it i'd probably start to catch on about why the hood is there.

Yea, the CTR is for light weight only.
But here is a pic of a stock rear bumper for a hatch.

ya i think id still like to have a heavier bumper.LOL

You know......im starting to rethink it to now LOL

lookin good! cant wait to see it finished! and i know by experience how ast the money goes on a v-6 swap! it took me 6months to finish mine!

Haha i totally feel you about just wanting to drive it! Your gonna have one mean car :D Huge props for doing this swap

lookin good! cant wait to see it finished! and i know by experience how ast the money goes on a v-6 swap! it took me 6months to finish mine!

Thanks guys. But just woundering....what rburch said, did you do a similar swap?

no, not on a honda anyways! i did a vr4 v-6 swap to an eclipse i once had.

question in your drawing you have those weird hole thingys drawn on your rear bumper what are they lol i've seen them on other cars and i cant even begin to fathom a non aesthetic purpose

they are so the air your bumper catches can go through so it doesnt create as much drag. dont remember the technical name for them right off hand.

ahh that makes sense i guess lol still looks like garbage IMO. but at least it has a function lol =\

they are so the air your bumper catches can go through so it doesnt create as much drag. dont remember the technical name for them right off hand.
Thats right, its to make the air flow through the bumper, i to cant think of what the name of it is.

ahh that makes sense i guess lol still looks like garbage IMO. but at least it has a function lol =\

Well it will be painted to match the car, i think it looks stupid to, but it works great.

form follows function

Is that hole some sort of venturi? I know Ferrari and Porche use them to help their cars get sucked towards the ground.

Here is a pic of them, forgot i even had this pic.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v717/UltraIce/Hanses/100_1074.jpg

havent seen much of this build lately, whats goin on?

I'm enjoying the build!

I rear bumper 'diffusers' (a.k.a. holes) aren't really my style. I'm actually going to be making a block off so that air can't get caught behind the bumper. But, to each his own.

Keep it up!

^ dito thats how id do mine also only takes some thin metal or plastic to make a ub shield.

i hate the holes in the bumper cover! even worse when you can see the inside of the bumper thru those holes... but to each his own.

I get what you guys are saying.....and your rite, it gives it a little ricer look, but we looked at what you guys are saying and even a flap on the bumper, but we feel this is best.
But if it doent work the way i like it then ill get a new bumper.
And with the holes are able to see my rebar.......just rember i am using the Type R one.


Please guys, i want your imput on this and anything else, ifs theres something you dont like or think there is a better way of doing somthing, let me know.
Keep it coming.

The rear bumper diffusers only look ricey because people with 17 and 20 second cars in the 1/4 mile were putting them on their car.

However when you have a 11 second or faster Honda and/or a Honda doing 150mph+ in a 1/4 mile the factory rear bumper was just not designed to handle that much down force from those high of speeds so therefor thats were the diffuser comes in. It allows the air to pass through the bumper instead of ripping it off half way down the track.

I see where you guys are trying to go with your block off plates behind the bumper to prevent air from getting behind the bumper but that isnt practical when building a car for speed for a couple reasons:

1. It increases the area that down forces can push down on causing even more drag on the car reducing the vehicles ability to get down the track faster.

2. It increases weight on the vehicle which again reduces the vehicles ability to get down the track faster.


So in the end, YES for a DD 15 or 16 second car the rear diffusers are RICE but on a 9.1 second 162mph 1/4 mile Integra (the guy who tunes my car) then the rear bumper diffsuer is practical.

finally took off the fart cannon and put on the stock muffler

finally took off the fart cannon and put on the stock muffler

??????????

How did you guys get around the immobilizer? Did you have to get a copy of the key from honda?

And how's the ground clearance (oil pan, exhaust)?

Sorry if all this was answered earlier in the thread. I'm really considering doing this swap now.

I never was to interested in drag racing, but since i found a place that build turbo's that with only 5 to 10 psi can make 5 to 600 Hp to the wheels........so since i found out about this company..........guess what im going to do next year?

The immobilizer.....we left it, we are running 2 keys.
One to let the ECU the key is there and the other to start the fuel pump.
Its the perfect kill switch, the only way to steal my car is to flat bed her.

The ground clearance is great, its as if it had a B16 in there, the bad side is that now it sticks out of the hood, small price to pay.
now you can lower the motor, but the the header and oil pan will no longer be there after a couple of days.

Small update....

JDM CTR lip is kinda on... as you see the coners have to be line up a little better.

That a good idea w/ the immobilizer.

I definately wanna do this swap now. The hood is not a problem to me lol, but i do like the idea your mechanic has for the hood.

Also, exhaust looks nice

o please show your filter theory..... ive been rocken fram for along time and never had any problems.

*Droool* Your car is really comin along and should be one of the meanest hatch's out there lol!! Oh uhhh BTW........GET TEH HOOOD!!!

:D

Ok, you want a hood?
Well this is all im going to show you till its all said and done, this hood came off my last purple ej6 after someone wrecked it. It came from Ground Design's 2000.....i dont think they are in business any more. Anywho, we were going to take my old OEM hood and cut it up, but when we started looking at this hood i was about to throw out, we thought we will play with this first. And its all fiberglass....so its easy to work with.

Yea, i took her for a spin.
When i get the whole front together i take another clip of her on the road.

How's it handle?

She feel's good.......but way to stiff, theses Skunk2 proC coilovers are not made for the road.

Better get a good chiropractor :D

Ok.........i lied, here is a quick pic my brother sent me.

Can't wait to see the finished product.

oh jeeses

I know, i know, i know.

I need some help with this.....im realy dont want to go with this whole ricer look.
So.....should i leave it and cover the center only?
Or.....keep to the drawing?

tough call.
i would cover the whole thing like the drawing, for the clean factor

Same here. Hood scoops have no business on a Civic, v6 or no. Cover them, smooth the edges, and it'll look stock-ish. Sleeeeeper...

You say you have taken it out for a spin? how well does the motor pull?

You say you have taken it out for a spin? how well does the motor pull?
Well, by the first week of next month, i will have a new video up on how she pulls and drive's.
Because i spend so much on my car and my job did a major cut back, i cant put her on the road. But my friend has a dealer plate, so i am going to use that for a short time.

The first time i took her out, almost snapped my neck off.

Now foe some up dates.
I drove up to my friends shop and took some better shots of my girl.

i found out the hard way that a True Civic Type R carpit wont fit a LHD car unles you cut the crap out of it, so i cant bring myself to do that..........so i sold it to a friend who is rebuilding a CTR, and now i am buying a fake red carpit =(

2nd
We were having some problem's with my tack and MPH .........after finding out that the ECU was burnt out we had to swap it out with a newer one, here is the good news, the old ECU only let the car rev up to 6500 RPM, this new ECU will let me go to 8500 RPM =)
Another prob we are having now is that my VTEC is kicking in at 8000 grand, so we have to now buy a VTEC control so i can lower it.

3rd
The Civic Type R X pedal's were put on, only the clutch and gas pedal were used, some were the brake lost some translation, so we drilled out the rivets and placed it over the OEM pedal that came with the car and rivet back into place.

4th
The hood was not touched yet because its still cold over here in N.Y.......well cold enough not to lay fiberglass, so when it warms up we will tackle that.

Thats about it for now.

new pics of the hood yet?

if you got a vtec controller could you set it at like 2k rpms or is there a limit in how low you can go

Vtec is only good for it when the factory computer tells it to turn on... at any lower RPMS on a stock motor and it will be NO HELP AND NO GOOD.... just search youtube for the idiot that hooked up his Vtec solenoid to a switch and thought he was so cool.LOL

do you have the link

no i didnt save that stupid video.

if you got a vtec controller could you set it at like 2k rpms or is there a limit in how low you can go

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Vtec controller is used for changing the Vtec engagement point. For example the stock Vtec change over point on a 00 Civic Si is 5300, but with the Vtec controller you can adjust the change over anywhere from 3000-6000 rpms.Vtec controllers are also used for adjusting the air/fuel ratio across the entire rpm range of the engine.

I like strange projects. And this definally has gotten my attention. Now what you gonna do about that HUGE intake stickin through ur hood? I'd say just to F with people put a set of steelies on it and a stock muffler so it looks super stealthy. And just blow people away when they give you crap. This reminds me of the project on hondatuning where they put a K20 in a Insight.

Haha i love how your car is like four different colors :)

My brother said that same thing about the steelies, about the hood, well the weather still is kinda cold to do fiberglass work, but very soon that will be done.

And are you talking about this K-sight?

Nice. Really nice.

Speaking of cooling plates, I found a guy who makes them for EG and he's looking into finding a del Sol so he can make me the first ever del Sol cooling plate.

Props on the build this car is going to be sick.

Was there any modification to the clutch line?

If I were to buy a new 6MT tranny from the dealership, what sensors or seals would I need that wouldn't come with it? Or what else would I need for the tranny?

No mods to the trans
And a new trans from Honda is almost 2G
Get one used, it will take you longer to find one but its worth the saving's.

So for the past couple of days iv been going nuts, I was told that if i put Acura TL heads on my block, that my numbers will jump from 210Hp and 229Ft 9.4 compression to around 260Hp and 255Ft......and that would be a 3.5 11:1 CR monster, Now this is not final on the facts.....but what it should throw down.
Some things on what i need to get.
Assembled 3.5L engine:
'03 CL-S block/TL-S block
'02-04 Odyssey crank/rods/bearings
'05 RL pistons
'03 CL-S heads
'03 CL-S ported/polished lower manifold (injector base)
'00-05 S2000 fuel injectors (360cc)
My brother told me he found a wrecked 2003 TL Type S motor, so i asked how much....he told me $600.00.
So tomorrow i am dropping that down.

And, my brother also found some nice Acura RL brake Caliper 4 piston, front only, for $200.00, so i am going to jump on this next week.
It will look somthing like this

HOLY cow new goodies on the way! i'm excited.

Well i put some money down on my new J32, so now i have to wait about a week or 2 till it comes.
But on a side note......some more pic's of some things.

While i was driving the car back from the shop, my inner fender plastic fell off some how, so i tied it up for now.
I want to put the carbon fiber hatch on.......but i feel i should wait till the whole car is repainted this winter.

lol. I didnt mean it as in your going slow, I mean that I bet youll change your power goals as you go and keep adding for a long time.

Your making really good progress. More & more i'm loving that hood. After you paint the car you'll see a big difference.

lol. I didnt mean it as in your going slow, I mean that I bet youll change your power goals as you go and keep adding for a long time.
Its cool, i know your busting chops.

o you know the mod list will never be done ;)
tho i was almost done with my old black civic.LOL its only downfall was the automatic. but then again im lame when it comes to HP and stock HP numbers. ;)

but i know my truck will never be done with it! i know i said id keep my old truck but sold it... but i plan on keeping this truck for a long time and keep modding it.

your already talken about swaping the head, hell your next mod might be a RHD conversion. ;) just be sure to keep us posted :D

Wow amazing project.

ugh, 3am but i had to go through every page of the thread. Amazing work, I never realized the odessey engine had that much umph, but I guess when the vehicle is nearly half the weight of the intended vehicle, it helps :p

Ill be honest not a fan of the cosmetics but that is one bad ass swap man great job in doing all that I do allot of swaps but thats the king of honda engine swaps.

Well...the head's are just the beginning, i am talking to someone one doing a rebuild on the motor=)
Oh...that whole RHD conversion thing, was going to be gone, but since the motor sits more to the right, so i thought keeping the motor to the right and keeping me, the driver to the left will balance the car better.
And trust me, i will keep you guys up dated.

Wow amazing project.

Thanks.

Thats nothing, you should drive this thing, chirping 4th and still have that pull....its fun, but makes you (me) wounder, what can this thing really do.
Some guy say's that he has this set up that i am going to do but with full interior, doing low 12's in the 1/4 mile.

Thanks.

Thanks guys.

Hell yeah man I guess you don't. Believe me I couldn't close my hood with that GT45R so I had to cut a hole in the hood to fit the turbo. So I know what ya mean.

Video is nice! I wanna see some numbers from the track once it is done!

I don't think you want him learning stick on your J swap. lol
What.... learning, oh hell no, not on my ride.

Ill bet low 14's high 13's

i love the v6 sounds soo powaaaful lol.

Why did you get a type r center bezel? Just wondering since it orients everything away from the driver, making it less practical.

Why did you get a type r center bezel? Just wondering since it orients everything away from the driver, making it less practical.

read the first post:

Ok, lets start from the beginning.
The car:
1998 Cx Honda Civic 5 Speed, Stock purple color with light gray interior.
The goal:
To make a U.S spec CTR...........went way off track=)

Getting a right side drive center bezel doesn't make it a u.s. spec ctr, it just orients everything away from the driver, making it impractical. No offense, but i was asking OP.

well lets face it a civic is not very big.... so moving the ac controls 6inches more to the right isnt a big deal. ;)

i wish i could find out how to install those automatic heat/ac controls! i love automatic heat/ac controls!!!!! just set and go. thats one thing i loved about my old 84towncar that i still miss to this day!

wow, that sounded incredibly sexy. Care to tell me where ya got that steering wheel? I MUST have one :)

Ill bet low 14's high 13's
I still dont know, its just what this guy is saying, then again i take everything i read with on the internet with a grain of salt.

i love the v6 sounds soo powaaaful lol.
You should hear it in person.

Why did you get a type r center bezel? Just wondering since it orients everything away from the driver, making it less practical.
I know its impractical, but i bought in 2003, and i said what the hell, only the hazard's work, the rear defogger some how lost translation from Japan to the U.S, but i have been thinking of turning it in to a push start.....i dont know yet.

read the first post:
Thanks.


wow, that sounded incredibly sexy. Care to tell me where ya got that steering wheel? I MUST have one :)
Its a 99 Civic Type R wheel with SRS
But i have been talking to my friend and we will change it latter for a Fit sport wheel.......with paddle shift's.

ok, just wondering.

Where are some new pics wtf man.

ok, just wondering.
Its cool.

Where are some new pics wtf man.
I am trying to post as many pic as i can.....it just i live about 81 miles from where she sit's, and then there is another 81 mile hike back.

Well if you get a new one, shoot me a PH, I'd take that one off your hands :). I love the red H, that's the kind of wheel I've been looking for. S2000 wheels are too expensive :( lol. Are steering wheels hard to install?

The S2000 and the JDM CTR wheel are all plug and play.

Ya rrriiiiiiiccccceeeeee no I am kidding man looking good yeah you need parts let me know Ill hook you up man.

The S2000 and the JDM CTR wheel are all plug and play.

ooo, good news :). If you change wheels let me know :D

ooo, good news :). If you change wheels let me know :D

Ill keep you in mind.

A new toy came in today.=)
Now i cant use the wiring harness or the TB, abut all the other parts are really nice shape.
Also, i have decided to paint the front end this month, because i want to bring my ride to Honda Day in N.Y.......i am pretty sure its in august but i have to double check that.
So right now my plans are to paint the whole front clip...and rear bumper, just to match.
Fender roll, get the motor to run 100%, its at 97%. Get all check engine codes gone, and clean up the engine bay.......and if i have extra time, i will throw the Type S heads on.

Oh, i pick her up for $500.00

I almost forgot, i found this on another site, its a 99 hatch with a V6 Turbo , i dont now any of the spec's on the car other then the pic,.......look's like i have some competition

http://i374.photobucket.com/albums/oo184/EK9Clone/1111.jpg


http://i374.photobucket.com/albums/oo184/EK9Clone/web.jpg

LOL id hate to see his front end put together with that turbo sticking out the front.LOL

lol forreal^ good luck getting the bumper on. Bet it makes some crazy power tho.

oh boy, lol, so when you boostin splat? throw the turbo in the hatch, piping down next to the exhaust, lol jk.

wow, thats a big turbo, and a small FMIC lol. Must suck to fab up a bumper to clear it

He looks like he managed to get his to sit lower. Like a normal hood MIGHT cover it. How is that?

He must have made some custom motor mounts.......but his oil pan and header's are going to slam into the ground every time he hits a bump.

Just ordered a nice used front set of 05 Acura RL aluminum 4 piston caliperls=)
I just hope they will clear my rim's=P.......I will have to wait a week to find out.

IMO id rather have that sucker sit under the stock hood and build a thick skid plate to scrap on ;) but then again thats just me. hell with a stock hood that would be a TRUE SLEEPER!!!!!!!!

ya but with the hood he has, and being a civic, ppl may think he's a dumb ricer, which would make it that much more funny when he dusts them :p

Id rather have ground clearance over a stock hood anyday.

ya last thing id want is putting a hole through, or ripping off my oil pan.

thats why you make a skid plate... just like on a 4x4 truck. :) youd loose about 1/2inch ground clearance.

thats why you make a skid plate... just like on a 4x4 truck. :) youd loose about 1/2inch ground clearance.
i like that =)

hell when i lower my civic i plan on slamming it VERY HARD and im going to make some skid plates for the front to protect the motor and tranny. hell my oil pan is already dented in at stock height.LOL not from me of course.... bought it that way. might have happened in the accident no idea.
its just an idea tho.
if your into saving weight use aluminum. me myself i dont care im going to use steel for mine ;) just use some heavy duty hinges and make some access panels so you can change the oil or just cut a opening large enough for the socket and drain plug to drain also. afew inch opening should still give ya great protection.

Well i dropped my ride off at the shop today.
While i was talking to my friend (Don) who owns the shop told me to check out this clip on you tube, its the Eg with the J32 Type S swap.
He ran 12.8 in the 1/4
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQjjkOL9H9A

I also did a small clip of my civic.......Please keep in mind that there is no pass seat, and my brother was video taping, so there is a lot of shaking, also, the scrapping sound you will here is the rear tire's are hitting the inner lip.

geeeeeeee lol crazy videos haha and thtose tires are rubbing good huh gee

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3285/2473777571_849e426d03.jpg?v=0

booom^^^^^ carnaggeee. but sounds ill, i love it dude. any ideas to stop the rubbing? are the fenders rolled?

roll and pull fenders?

ya roll them fender lips.LOL
im suprised they havent poped already with rubbing that much!

wow thats a lot of rubbng, looks fun though :)

Holy rubbage! It's nice to see that thing on the road and running pretty nicely! lol... I like that part,... "uhh.. I think that was an undercover cop back there. Don't worry, we were only going 90." lol

^ yea, dam charger came out of no where.
I want to do a fender roll so bad, but no one around here does it any more, they say to many people came back a year later wanting to sue them because there quarters were stating to get cancer.
Then i dont want to pay $250.00 for a kit off of ebay just to use on 2 fenders.
I think i might get a tube, wrap the end with duck tape and roll the inner lips with that.


Unless some one out there can give me a better solution?

I remember Addiction2bass had some type of deal on the FS section where you paypal'd him a certain amount of money, and he shipped the fender roller to you. Once you were done with it, you ship it back, and he refunds you the money back, but not all of it. But I am not sure if he is still doing that.

na sorry i was doing it but no one wanted to rent it, so i used it on my silver civic and ended up selling it on ebay. so i dont have it anymore....

just look on ebay for a used eastwood fender roller. they are almost always on there used for ruffly 200bucks, just buy it use it and slap it back up for sale on ebay and get most of your money back. quick and easy!

What you should actually use is a wooden baseball bat. Wrap it in a garbage towel tshirt. use a heat gun or hot hair dryer to heat the fenders.... and roll.

Its just that i cant bring myself to just lay that type of money down.

I think i have to brake down and try something like this........i just hope i dont crack any paint doing this.

its gotta be hot for it not to crack and you have to be gentle ;)

ya with a pipe... thats not to gentle ;)
with the money youve been throwing down on this bad boy you can invest 200bucks for one week, roll the fenders and slap it on ebay for a 10day listing with a BIN price and get most of your money back since main thing youll be loosing if you buy one already used will be the shipping to and from you.
i put mine on ebay and it was sold with BIN within 24hours of posting the auction ;)

Why not cut them slightly and paint the exposed metal portion?

Why not cut them slightly and paint the exposed metal portion?

or get smaller wheels. lol

^ he wants the wheels on it, I wouldn't get that small of wheels (or tire tread for that matter) with that motor anyway.

True, I just think he'd have better luck with some 17's.

What have you done with the power steering/AC? I'm assuming being in NY you aren't running AC, but is there room to keep it in?
