I've seen his work.

He's putting a K20 and RSX suspension in a 1st gen civic and i've seen the custom header he made for it, the custom chassis motor mount points, and his custom shock towers. This guy is the real deal.


I've seen this in person:

His brother also has a K20 turbo EF hatch that him and his brother built. It is SICK.

got some goodies in the mail today.

A/C slim fan and my HF manifold and HF/T3 adapter plate.
P.S. the manifold came already port matched, sand blasted, and painted black with 1200º paint. w00t!

With the A/C fan I had to get creative because the mounts for securing the condenser to the engine bay are on the stock fan shroud. Luckily, one of the brackets I had to remove worked perfectly for holding one of the lines in place which as a result secured the entire condenser. At the bottom of the condenser, I took the 2 rubber grommets that were originally at the top of the condenser, and put them underneath the rail at the bottom of the condenser.

As a result, I have an inch or two more room between the engine and A/C fan, which will help a lot with the turbo project. I also plan on getting


It was hard to get good pictures of the slim fan in the garage, so i'll try again tomorrow. For now here's what you get:
