A little update for everone. The engine is going in next sunday and as long as there are no problems I plan to have it up and running by mid next week. The 3" downpipe came in and will require a reweld to get the flange at the perfect tilt. The cool thing is SS is paying for ALL costs associated with any modifications we have to do after the engine install to get the turbo kit perfectly installed. They're also sending an extra downpipe to be fitted/altered for free and are going to change their design so their downpipe will fit better for all civic owners in the future. Thought that was pretty cool of them. So far so good. Will post again soon.

Yeah they do know about it. They are going to throw in a bigger IC and an alluminum radiator as well. It's a pretty sweet deal so far, hopefully all goes perfect and maybe I can get a full sponsorship. I'm pretty stoked right now!

Show them where this is. It could get them good publicity if they pull through.

Nice, man. Glad to hear they're covering those extra costs. Can't wait to see it all together.

You mean you can't wait to help put it all together

Another update, I am getting a newly designed manifold from SS, they sent it out today. They also said they were coming out with a ball bearing turbo, not sure If I get to try that or not though so I guess we'll see. For all who care I had a really bad day yesterday, my nissan 200 had a rod bearing break or something cuz there is a rod bouncing around like a pinball, so bye bye daily driver VERY frustrating. I'll talk at you guys soon.

SS is letting me keep the newly designed manifold, supposed to be thicker and better quality than its predecessor. 2 days till install, I will have a whore of photos for all.
