Got bored and started looking at my Photobucket account and thought I would make a thread from what Ive done to my car. Some bad and some good, even though now its slow as hell, but Im working on it![]()
First got it(Stock LS head, sleeved built bottom end, 302WHP)
Bout 3 months later, waxxed it and took her out for some new pics, also took the black paint of the FMIC so it would stick out like BAMM (I know its not much of a sleeper with the big intercooler in the front bumper, but oh well:
Then the car went down for a little while and I was stubborn and didnt listen to my boys at Mainstream and I built an LS head, after they told me to just go Ls/vtec, so I built an LS head and let me just say that was a waste of time![]()
Built LS:
SO, after my car being down for like 3 months and after going through 5 different turbos and 2 different manifolds I bought a Vtec head.
Some turbo/manifold setups I went through:
This turbo ended up being too big for what I wanted
So I got a t3/t67(which was dumb because it wasnt any smaller but the exhaust housing was smaller so I wanted it, BUT I got rid of that turbo too)
Ferrea Valves on the Vtec head:
UH OH!! New turbo came in the mail, LOL t3/t04e 60 trim(This is the turbo I ended up sticking with)
I bought this manifold because I got a good deal, but it wasnt a true "topmount" so I got rid of it and went back to my OLD SFP manifold I had on my car when I first got it.
SOOOO, I went back to my old manifold and kept the t3/t04e turbo. I got the car tuned at Mainstream and for some reason it wouldnt hit vtec consistantly. It made like 333WHP @11PSI with no vtec, which wasnt too bad, but I wasnt happy with all the time and money I put into it. I did accidently have the car on 19PSI on the street which I figure is around or a little bit over 400WHP or so and it was REALLY nice, I loved it. But NO AC in a DD car for me wasnt enough. SOOO I got a stock JDM b16 swapped in by Mainstream in hopes of getting my AC put back in. But til this day I havent got AC back in it and the car really just sits
Oh ya, I got new wheels too:![]()
HOW THE CAR LOOKS TODAY(NO MORE BOOST)
Thanks for looking. I know its long and prolly out of order, but I thought id make a thread so i can see my car in all its stages and so I could share it with everyone else. I know this thread was long but i was bored![]()
