ive been on everyones side lol im just ending thier argument.

anyway.

what are we doing next louis?

[DeeAOne]

really guys?

no one wants to come in here and see what im trying to do, if you are talking about stuff that was years ago. get over it, or handle it in person. everyone makes mistakes in this hobby, thats part of learning.

now can i please have my thread back? thank you. and kfze, reps.

[WalkS]

Whew...sigh bench racing at it's best. talking about a car that was built in 07, 3 years ago. The timing wasn't the problem essentially, it was the tps wiring the pinouts on the ecu. But anyway who cares. Past is the past, life is too short to hold a grudge, also too long. So stop cluttering up this thread. I wanna see more updates on this torque monster!

Good luck Louis! Definitely a different car! I give you mad props for approaching this sort of a challenge.

[WalkS]

Are you going to use anything else to aid in the control of engine movement? I.e, such as a ratchet setup?

[jew_boy]

i havent thought too much into it besides the polyurethane mounts. im hoping it will be enough to keep it still. if anything hits it will probably be the rear header on the power steering rack.

EDIT: oops, this is DeeAOne.

you plan on filling the mounts yes?

[DeeAOne]

yes the mounts are filled and done. i did them awhile ago. the stuff i used appears to be harder than polyurethane, lol.

so today i didnt do anything but upgrade my alternator. i planned on using the 4 cylinder 60 amp alt since it mounts up the same. the only thing i would have had to do was change the pulley to a groove belt one. but i decided to just get a new one instead. 90 amps as well. now i just have to find a bolt long enough to mount it up. :goodjob:

Fuck you, Dom. Not mentioning me and all :( lol

[DeeAOne]

thanks alot. :tongue1:

Fuck you, Dom. Not mentioning me and all :( lol


lol of course u too lol.... i just mention my immediate friends... the ones i see erry day and the ones who let me drive their cars :goodjob:

[xdavidscenex]

those aem pulleys i gave you fit anything?

[DeeAOne]

i tried the power steering pump..its kinda loose so idk if i want to run it or not. you will see when i show it to you.

[DeeAOne]

so, i was doing some brainstorming yesterday about my axle issue. here is the problem for those who dont know.


my car's wheel hubs have a 26 spline count. the trans is a g series trans which all have a 28 spline count. so obviously the mx-3 axles wont fit in my wheel hubs. by the way, the mx-3 gs is a 1.8l v6. they are the shortest v6 axles to use that will still work. the probe, mx-6, and 626 are way too long.

the newer proteges have this 28 spline count that i need. so my plan was to swap hubs, struts, lower control arms, everything over to my car from a 90-94 pro. this might take a little modification but the two generations arent hugely different.

after a little bit more researching, i was told that even with the hub swap, the axles will still be TOO LONG. the wheelbase of my car is a little shorter apparently. yet another headache.

so now, im going to attempt a custom made shorter mx-3 axle. i have a friend with access to a very strong gas welder. im going to see if he can cut and weld them back together. i have taken balance of the axle in to account and will trying to test that as well. its worth a shot right?

stay tuned! :goodjob:

[kfzemx3]

whats the difference in length? Not sure if this would work, but if you take both sets of axles to a shop that specializes in axles, you could have them mate the two...

lol now this is where my mechanical grammar gets funky as i don't know what the 2 parts of the axle are called, but basically take the part that fits into the hub from the protege, and mate it to the part that goes into the tranny from the mx3

We've done it before when putting in the lsd tranny from the lantis. just reversed we used the mx3s to fit the hub.

[DeeAOne]

that was my first idea. i was going to get the 323 hub and put it on the mx3 axle. only thing is the mx3 axle is much bigger. the bearing assembly wouldnt fit into the 4 cylinder cv joint.

[94ej2]

just have mike do some welding on the axles.:ninja:

Actually more than likely not. Louis your best bet as for axles is to find a shop like DSS that can fix that up. The balancing part is no freaking joke. It will be impossible for you to make it right once theyve been re-welded back together.

[DeeAOne]

yeah i just heard about this place tonight from kyle perry. i didnt know there was a such shop in town. id pay the price for them to be done right.

details on this place please. :goodjob:

[DeeAOne]

so, i gave this DSS place a call and they said i have two options:

1. they can make an mx-3 axle with a bigger 323 hub on the outer end to fit my wheel. price: $600. shipped to my house in 8-10 weeks.

2. they can make a custom axle specially for my application. price: $800. shipped to my house probably within 2 weeks. this will probably be the stronger of the two.

what do you guys think?

[kfzemx3]

800 is a good price for axles, I'm guessing these are also going to be able to with stand higher number of hp/tq would guess around the 600 range

[DeeAOne]

800 is a good price for axles, I'm guessing these are also going to be able to with stand higher number of hp/tq would guess around the 600 rangeyeah. he asked how much power i was making, i told him my motor is stock besides the basic i/h/e. he said i could try the first ones. hes not guaranteeing they wont break but they have a one year warranty. so idk. the problem is still, they might need to be shortened a little, and i forgot to mention that.

[kfzemx3]

Go with the custom ones, will handle more power and seems like a safer bet if the shop is telling you they might still break. And being that people snap stock axles with Ze's its a better bet just all together. Plus I mean 800 over 600, its just 200 for a better product.

[DeeAOne]

yeah true. thats like 2 paychecks for me too. but who said a swap would be cheap right? lol

[SlenderEG6]

yea i say stick with option 2 and just give them a measurement for lenght.... but now u know how i feel about expensive shit

yesterday i went to the pull a part in conley and grabbed the whole front suspension assembly off a 94 323. BG chassis.

got some good news and bad news.

good news: the whole assembly seems to be a direct bolt on, amazingly. but the thing that im scared about since it seems to have went in so easy, does every bg have the spline count i need? i got the stuff from a 94 hatch. even the tie rod ends bolt up, and look like they will be straight with just an alignment.

all the did for the struts was simply slap the bf top hat on the bg strut.

bad news: the axle nuts are frozen solid in the hubs. im going to have to take them to a shop to get them out. hopefully wont be too much pain in the ass. but since they are in there, i went ahead and tested the length of axle. and the passenger side length is perfect. this all seems too good to be true. lol.

the driver side has not been touched yet since i need to get the nut off tomorrow, so i didnt bother putting it on.

whoever said the thing about bg hubs with bf struts was right, when one hole lines up, the other is slightly off.

yea you will be golden with the BG hubs. BUT! there is 1 more small issue that happens sometimes with the swap in the BG. And using the gs axles with the bg front, Is that the axles will bind, because the MX3 GS is 30mm wider in the front. So you may need to get the mx3 GS lower Control Arms.


BUT! when i used the GS axles in my bg hubs/front suspension, i didnt have this issue. And a lot of people actually dont have this problem, its kind of sometimes it dont work...lol. but the bf might be different.. so i guess you wont know until u get the gs axles in..

http://www.clubprotege.com/forum/showthread.php?t=32880&highlight=axle+binding

[DeeAOne]

Thanks guys.

And joe, all bg chassis have the spline I need right? I'm about to head to a shop to get the nuts off as we speak.

[JITB]

Thanks guys.

yea.. escort gt and protege,323.. but remember the mx3 isnt bg, its Ec, and the 4cyl axles from the mx3 Rs i believe have same spline count..

[DeeAOne]

That's all I needed to know. :goodjob:

[DeeAOne]

i finally got both axles out, so i went out tonight and got the passenger side done tonight. here is how it sits with the wheel turned straight. its not too bad. looks like ill be able to straighten it out with just an alignment. ill have a 4x100 lug pattern on the front for now.

this is a stock bg strut on ebay springs, no sleeves.

http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i143/Yankee4life91/SDC10719.jpg

im probably going to have to put a spacer between the tie rod ball joint and the spindle. it will not get tight enough to keep the tie rod from moving before the actual spindle and wheel turns.

http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i143/Yankee4life91/SDC10725.jpg

the hub swap on this side actually wasnt that hard. the bottom two holes that bolt the spindle to the control arm are slightly off between bf and bg. i just took a decent sized drill bit and widened it up.

next, driver side. :)

[SlenderEG6]

shits badass.... i just hope those axles work.....:goodjob:

tell mike to get u some new tie rods! he can fit those in his pocket!

baller!

baller!

bit dont hate

[DeeAOne]

alright. so today i got the other side finished. im definitely going to have to do something about the tie rod ends. im going to see if i can bring the bf ones out a little bit more. if not, ill just go with the bg ones like everyone was saying.

has some serious camber and toe issues, lol. the weird thing is, sometimes it sits fine and sometimes it looks crazy like this. it makes no sense to me.

uhhhh ^^ loui i dont think thats susposed to look like that......

[DeeAOne]

dom im just following the stupid camber trend! its the thing to do these days. :rolleyes:

[JITB]

just adjust the toe, and you will be good. but if they are split and messed up like u said, u might as well get new ones, i think they are like 13$ new.. i had soem on warranty.. but i doubt its still active.

Does the hood close?

[DeeAOne]

yes i am..lol. they are ok with it because i dont ask for money for it, and work very hard to buy all this stuff. the hood does close.

however, they dont like the fact that i need rides to work and college.

[DeeAOne]

i jacked this side of the car up and got my buddy to turn lock to lock while i spun the wheel. it seemed to be ok. but it just looks scary. i know i didnt replicate high speeds, but it at least spun freely while turning at slow speed. i will probably have to swap tie rods, because at the very end of the lock, the tire hits the lower control arm.

[blackshine007]

I can't believe I read through all of those posts. Well, I do have some advice on the p/s pump and the rack and pinion issue...... Who says that you have to use the power steering pump just to make the water pump spin? Best solution is to completely remove the pump. The tensioner pulley should be replaced with an idle pulley from a '95-2001 explorer if I remember right, but I could be wrong. You need a pulley that is grooved and it has to have the 1603 bearing in the center of it to the locking nut will fit in the center.

As far as the alternator goes, just bolt up the KL alternator and leave it be.

I would've never welded in the engine mount bracket because you practically need that space to remove the water pump pulley bolts. I would've bolted them up and just made a plate specifically for welding up a bracket so you could bolt up the mount bracket.

On ebay, they sell an aluminum 2 pass radiator for the BG for $125. Avoid the civic radiator like the plague.

My car is on jackstands with no transmission, if you get my drift. It'll be running soon :ninja:

Nice build thread. Can't wait to see it running :goodjob:

[DeeAOne]

we need to run. i think it will be a good race. :goodjob:
ill look into that radiator as well.

as for updates, i have done much since i started school. a lot of my money has gone to books. i need to get another axle still(hoping it will fit), and an mx-3 fuse box. i bought one already, just waiting for the guy to ship it to me. after that, a radiator should get me on the road. :yes:

7500 redline is awesome but only 160hp and 160 tq?!?!?

if u compare it to a honda j32a that makes 225hp-215tq its a winner..

or the 1st gen 3.5 vq that was making 250hp in 2006, or the vg 3.0 that made 200hp in the maxima in 1998..

160hp/tq out of a aluminum 2.5 was top notch back in 94..

I read the initial post and saw 9:1 c/r.....so I gotta ask....

Where are the turbos? Hahahahaha!

[DeeAOne]

maybe one day. its hard enough just getting it to run in stock form in this car, lol.

[DeeAOne]

finally, a little bit of update. i decided to tackle some of the wiring since i was waiting on other parts to come in. i focused mainly on getting power to the starter. i took the entire power side off my 4 cylinder harness and wired it up to the neccessary parts on the klde. i was almost there when i ran into one plug that i had no clue where it went to. i knew it was ignition related since it only had power in the on position. well with the help of another bf 323 owner he pointed me exactly in the right direction.

apparently, its the reverse light switch for the transmission. the reason i couldnt find the plug was obviously because i dont have a 4 cylinder transmission anymore. i simply bridged the two thicker wires and wahlah! with the turn of the key, starter power. at least half way anyway. im thinking my starter might be pooped out. but at least it has power.

as an added bonus that i didnt even expect, fuel came pouring out through the line. the same wire also powered the fuel pump relay. so power and fuel, so far. :goodjob:

Nothing much going on right now. Waiting on a fuse box to join my 4 and 6 cylinder harnesses. I got my passenger side axle today but realized I still need a half shaft. :(

after these things I need a custom radiator and a few other little things and I should be able to at least fire it up.

Did I miss something? Why are you doing a 4cyl and 6cyl harness? This might be a simple thing I'm overlooking but my brain isn't functioning all to well today.

[Sammich]

i love the way you flipped it man :ninja: lol

[DeeAOne]

well hurry it up.
i wanna see this bish sometime.
photoshoot?:ninja:
im down with that. :goodjob:


Did I miss something? Why are you doing a 4cyl and 6cyl harness? This might be a simple thing I'm overlooking but my brain isn't functioning all to well today.i was going to keep the stock alternator, starter, etc. harness from the 4 cylinder. joe advised this. lol

i do have the entire mx3 gs alternator harness and fuse box on the way though...so which would be easier? mx3 gs power harness or stock BF power harness thats already wired up?




i love the way you flipped it man :ninja: lol
what a way to say hey after all this time. lol :tongue1:

[SlenderEG6]

or maybe i got a better idea...... take that DE out and get u a ZE with ITBs and run 12s like me

[Sammich]

lol had to make a appearance seeing as though you were doing the v6 swap...how much further do u have to go?

[kfzemx3]

Ah ok, well if it works I see no reason to change it. I usually see the guys who do the 4cyl to v6 swaps just use the entire harness from the GS thats why I was wondering. BUT no point in spending extra money if the other harness works :)

Actually he would be better off just getting a klg4, S rods and some 11:1 pistons. Would be cheaper and yield more power than purchasing a klze.

i told him to try and see if the bf harness will plug into the GS fuse box.. like the BG one does.. if not than he can get a BG alternator power harness..

[DeeAOne]

Well the harness came in today. I'll take some pictures for you guys to see what I'm working with. When are you two coming down?! Lol :D

[94ej2]

updates?

[mushroom_toy]

Hurry up we dont have all day. This should be done by now.... :D

[DeeAOne]

this is my first swap im trying. :tongue1:

i havent done much because i need a half shaft. i dont want to risk firing it up with no axle in the trans.

just to keep you guys happy, a little update

ordered an egr block off. the weird thing about having the millenia intake on the probe block is that the egr is now in two different places. millenias have the egr on the manifold while probes, mx6s, and 626s have them on the block...so i had to get one for the block as well. the plate on the block is an oem one off a millenia.

the aftermarket one
http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i143/Yankee4life91/SDC10784.jpg

the oem one, tried my best to get a decent picture..
http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i143/Yankee4life91/SDC10802.jpg


here's a little taste of the wiring nightmare. im starting to get the hang of it...kinda. i havent really cut deep into the harness yet. where my hand is the part of the harness that i need to dig through. same goes for the other picture with the green and yellow plugs on it. i wont be needing most of that anymore.

http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i143/Yankee4life91/SDC10782.jpg

http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i143/Yankee4life91/SDC10773.jpg

the new harness and fuse box i have to somehow work in.
http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i143/Yankee4life91/SDC10777.jpg


hope to make some real progress soon. ive got to finish taking the 4 cylinder loom apart to keep the necessary wires. :cheers:

[J-ROCK]

just finish it already! lol jkjkjk

but seriously its coming along nicely man! id hate to be the one doin the wiring though the only wires i know how to mess with are system wires for subs and stuff

[FasTech]

Damn Louis, you might get this done before I get my Integra done. lol. Progress is looking good. We should try to all meet up and hit up Hooters or something sometime. Been a minute since I last kicked it with you fellas.

[J-ROCK]

ive been waiting till it gets warm before i ask evan when the next meet is lol

[DeeAOne]

yeah i cant wait until the 323 gets back out on the streets. we will definitely get the warner robins/macon meet back up. :goodjob:

[FasTech]

ive been waiting till it gets warm before i ask evan when the next meet is lol



Why ask Evan? He always had to be home before curfew before everyone even got out there. So I don't think he is a good candiate to be setting up meets. lmao.

[J-ROCK]

Why ask Evan? He always had to be home before curfew before everyone even got out there. So I don't think he is a good candiate to be setting up meets. lmao.

i would do it but i live in macon and i dont feel like having a meet on zebulon rd lol!

[J-ROCK]

yeah i cant wait until the 323 gets back out on the streets. we will definitely get the warner robins/macon meet back up. :goodjob:

lets do it man!

[DeeAOne]

guess there is only one person left.. :ninja:

[J-ROCK]

haha just hit me up with a date and time and ill be there!

[DeeAOne]

did a little work on the car today. i was pretty disappointed on the outcome. i grabbed a halfshaft off a probe at the local junkyard today, and put my mx3 axle into it. i went to bolt it to the block and slide it in the hub. the holes line up perfectly but the the whole setup it too long. i guess i will have to get it shortened. what a set back.. :(

the hub sticks out much too far.

http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i143/Yankee4life91/SDC10804.jpg

this might give a little idea of how far it sticks out.
http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i143/Yankee4life91/SDC10806.jpg

[mushroom_toy]

Damn that sucks man. Get it shortened so you can crank her up. :)

[jdm-civic]

good job. reps for you...........

[.:Stirfry:.]

BIT JUST CUT THAT ISH.

[Sammich]

dang that sucks man

[Drummerboy]

Wont it be more likely to snap if you cut and weld? Good progress though. Hopefully the prelude will be done before the 323. lol.

[DeeAOne]

well, according to the guy who is doing it, there is a process to do it the right way. his theory is to cut the axle, notch one of the cuts so the weld can actually get down in the cut and have a strong bind, and then get a sleeve of some sort, titanium or steel most likely, and slide it over the weld and weld that too. of course this will have a be a strong welder and seeing that its the same welder that welds planes together on the air force base, i think it will hold if done right.

the thing im worried about is will it stay balanced.

at this point im debating pulling the motor back out and putting my original B6 diff in my 626 trans to retain stock everything, axles, hubs, etc. i kinda wish i had gone that route in the first place. lol i would be driving by now.

no! i refuse to take 1 the motor out again!! 2 take that tranny apart again!! 3 pushing the date of ur car back again just bc of a stupid axle! lol we will get it done man but trust me we dont need to get inside that trans again just try the axle cutting. if it fails save for one custum one since already one side fits ya kno?

[DeeAOne]

That one fits but might bind up. It's border line too short.

[Drummerboy]

Whats the negative of using the old dif with old axles/hubs, besides the time consuming process? If thats it, I say do it.

lol, but im preaching to the quire. All I need to do to get my car going is swap out the BOV spring. haha.

[DeeAOne]

there really isnt any. i used to think that the old diff wouldnt hold the v6 torque but according to a guy on another forum its been done more than once.

my passenger side axle is off being cut right now anyway, so hopefully it will fit. :goodjob:

and if i was that close to being done, my ass would be in the garage doing it. so get to it!

[DeeAOne]

i just ordered a new goodie! my birthday present to me. lol

http://www.summitracing.com/parts/AFC-80105N/

http://static.summitracing.com/global/images/prod/large/afc-80105n_w.jpg

it had to be small enough to fit between the headlights but thick enough to keep the big v6 cool. cant wait to see how it works out! :goodjob:

[SlenderEG6]

slow :taun:

[DeeAOne]

:cry:

lol. thats what i did after looking at my checking account.

[J-ROCK]

ready to see this thing done man! looks good keep it up man

[SlenderEG6]

:cry:

lol. thats what i did after looking at my checking account.

lol just wait till u blow 8k on a swapp and ur still not running!! then you still got turbo upgrade!!! then ur gonna be swimmin in debt!!! lol im so close to selling my swap and buying a single cam ka!! stock

im unsure on what im going to have to do about radiator hoses though. probably going to have to run some type of hard line on the upper one. and the lower outlet on the radiator is bigger than the inlet to the engine. half an inch to be exact.

[Da_unknown]

damm... its coming along very nicely...... :goodjob:

[AV8ter]

Very nice!

You still got that festiva?


Kevin

[DeeAOne]

my buddy has a festiva if thats who you are thinking about. we were thinking about taking my old motor and putting it in there.

thanks for the comments though. im ready for this thing to be alive. :)

[AV8ter]

Do it lol. It bolts right in, 100%. It is the same engine as the stock festy, just bored out. I think his is a Carbed if I remember correctly, so you'd have to do an efi swap. It is a nice simple swap and if your old motor is in better shape than the one he has in there, then I'd say do it. It would only take an afternoon.

Does he DD that thing?

his grandmother does. but its got 233,xxx so its getting weak. it is carb too. i told him to put B6T rods in mine and boost it.

my old engine had a fresh rebuild right before i got it. the bottom end looked brand new including pistons/rods. all it needs is a new crank from the crank pulley breaking off.

[AV8ter]

Damn. If I still had my festiva I'd come get that b6 from you myself. I never got motivated enough to engine swap cause the b3 was just fine. Mine had 215,000 on it when I sold it.

He should swap that thing lol.

[xdavidscenex]

louiss work on your car! lol

[DeeAOne]

what do you think i have been doing. :ninja:

pictures tonight after work.

[xdavidscenex]

yayyyy :]

[DeeAOne]

tonight i didnt do much. i was scared about my upper hose not having space but i figured something out. i went to autozone and searched their entire inventory of radiator hoses. after finding two that put together would work, i used an exhaust pipe reducer to bring them together. total cost for a custom hose = $27. :)

http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i143/Yankee4life91/SDC10860.jpg

http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i143/Yankee4life91/SDC10859.jpg

http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i143/Yankee4life91/SDC10857.jpg

this was a test fit. the hose does slide on the reducer farther. of course ill put some hose clamps on it as well.

what do you guys think will be good to coat the pipe with to keep from corrosion?

[94ej2]

looks good lou

[DeeAOne]

thanks mr pt. im getting closer to eating that H-series up...lol :idb:

[94ej2]

thanks mr pt. im getting closer to eating that H-series up...lol :idb:

i bet. ha im making a harness for it right now.

[DeeAOne]

i bet. ha im making a harness for it right now.
well come do mine too. lol its killing me.

im trying to do everything i can right now besides that. lol

[xdavidscenex]

lol pt wire your harness? he was stuck on tristas mpfi swap for like a week

[94ej2]

well come do mine too. lol its killing me.

im trying to do everything i can right now besides that. lol


lmfao. louis let chris do your harness. he act like his god now since he has a uber cool jdm front teg.

chris...look son if it werent of me teaching you what you know. you wouldnt know how the fuck to work on a car.

now stfu.:lmfao:

[DeeAOne]

anyway. update.

i got fucking screwed. HARD.

the guy i gave my axle to made it seem like he knew what he was doing. this is what i got back yesterday.

http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i143/Yankee4life91/SDC10861.jpg

i doubt it will make it through the first test drive. its clearly unbalanced too. :no:

That's what happens when you go to "guys" that think they know what they are doing.

[DeeAOne]

i havent paid him yet but he wants $50. looks like i might be calling the drive shaft shop after i get the car running.

[kfzemx3]

did we talk about you getting the custom ones made? Why did you do this? lol

The cheaper solution is never the right one!

[mushroom_toy]

Tell them they can keep that one as their product "sample". Lol.

[DeeAOne]

did we talk about you getting the custom ones made? Why did you do this? lol

The cheaper solution is never the right one!yes we did. lol.

im going to get custom ones made. :2cents:

[DeeAOne]

been awhile since i posted in here. no major progress except putting the car back together. i also put the halfshaft and axle in. hopefully it will be alive soon. :)

its not driving yet but its running so im extremely happy. all the hard work paid off. my first swap too. lol couldnt do it without my buddies though. :goodjob:

as far as i know this is one of the first K-swapped BF chassis 323's in the states. (just going by researching internet and forums..lol)

[xdavidscenex]

Damn, PT.. Love the way you txt someone to see if they wanna chill. Ass. lol.

haha no...should have called you up! lol didnt even think about kp fab.

what? come on Louis im making the headers right

[blackshine007]

That's pretty cool. I can't wait to see some more vids. Maybe get rid of the stock ecu and run MSnS. I think you'll be happy with it.

[ItsBlack]

Siccckk!

[DeeAOne]

That's pretty cool. I can't wait to see some more vids. Maybe get rid of the stock ecu and run MSnS. I think you'll be happy with it.ive heard MS can get some pretty decent power out of a stock KL. maybe one day when i have $500 to drop on engine management. lol thanks though. when i get my hoses ran and the engine cleaned up there will definitely be more videos. :goodjob:


Siccckk!thanks.

reps to all i can.

[jdm-civic]

just curious, why not a klze?

[DeeAOne]

this KLDE was free with a blown HG. you work with what you got.

free > $800+.

[jdm-civic]

thats cool. i thought you chose the de for some spectacular reason......ever wanna go ze?

[1990wade]

thats cool. i thought you chose the de for some spectacular reason......ever wanna go ze?




:blah:

[JITB]

thats cool. i thought you chose the de for some spectacular reason......ever wanna go ze?

i would say the De would be better suited for boost.. personally. The Ze would be the ideal to build for NA...

and he can turn the De into a Ze..:D

you could look into buying the un assembled MS kit, and get soemone local to assemble it for you. to save some change..


But what maf and ecu do u have?
