Meth Kit pics!!!

Lines running for the Meth nozzle (on the S pipe - will be moved), and the boost pressure sensor (is now actually just going to my MAP sensor instead):

Power to the Meth kit was cut last night since it was late and we were in the middle of setting it up in the s300's menu, so I was able to go out and get a couple pulls in during the day to have a "before" meth IATs screenshot:

Ambient Temps were about 73 degrees F

Finishing up with the Meth install tonight (with the exception of changing the mounting point for the nozzle), and I will post up an "after" screenshot to show differences.

Update: we are having a bit of an issue with the s300 and it not switching the ground to activate the pump. Grrrr

Progress from last night - Cut up trunk lining and floor in order to fit the pump/tank nicely.... currently, this is what it looks like...

(obviously, you should be able to tell what's all F-ed from that picture)

With that damage, the camshaft had a fun time rubbing against it. Here's the camshaft:

Cool, huh?

I will be emailing Bisimoto about it this weekend. Hopefully, I can get another one at a discounted price, but... I doubt that would happen. We will have to see.

Lastly, Mishimoto is coming out with a black line and gold line of radiators. The boss gave a black one to me to install. Also, I got a 12" slim fan as well. I will be doing an install guide for the slim fan (and how to wire it up as a pusher fan), as well as comparing any differences between the black rad and the polished one I currently have. Hoping to have it installed by the end of the day today.

You've got some serious wrenching going on lately.

And I dig the headlights. I might have to do the same mod.

Are you going to sell the polished radiator you have right now?

Thanks! The gold would look good on your car!

Unfortunately, no. I think I will be giving the polished one back to work. We are in the process of getting a EG/EK K-swap radiator/hoses designed and we will most likely be using the Civic half radiator.

Black rad and pusher fan is in! Drove the car around a decent amount, no problems. Let the car idle for about 1 1/2 hours...no problems at all. I'll post some pictures up soon.

The meth nozzle was relocated last night in order to spray directly into the JRSC rotors. My buddy and I tried about 10 different ways to wire it up and nothing was working. For some reason, the s300 isn't switching the ground over to activate the pump.

Okay... fine. We need to get this dealt with, so we re-installed the boost sensor activation switch and now, that isn't working right. We can feel it clicking/vibrating as it should when changing the grounds, but the pump/activation light does not go off. When we jump the switch, both the pump and the light work.

Sent an E-mail to AIS about it. Hopefully, they can either help me finish this up, or send me a replacement boost switch. My buddy is contacting Hondata about it not switching the ground over today as well. I would much rather have the meth on a window switch rather than a non-progressive boost switch.

Ugh... wiring sucks.

No offense taken on the wiring comments. There are two reasons why I hate wiring... (A)I am not comfortable with it - always freaking out I will get shocked (except when the battery is disconnected - I know... weird in a way), and (B) The concept of pos/neg/ground and lights/relays/fuses do not make sense to me. LOL I am about to just pay a company to wire it in and that's it. It really shouldn't take more than an hour to be honest. All of the necessary wiring is already where is needs to be. Just needs to be tweaked in order to work

I will try and post pictures tonight of the fan/black radiator. Another goodie is being installed tonight though.. so I am not sure how much time I will have
