Had some time over the weekend to get some last minute things installed, it will be nice not having to worry about my car overheating now that i have a quality radiator and fan.

Cant say enough good things about the quality of mishimoto products

New one installed, peep the t bolt radiator clamps for extra bling and no leakage! They also dont rip up the hoses like the worm gear clamps do.

Oh and to top it all of my new rubers came in . Picking tires was so difficult since everyone has their own opinion about everything. Decided to go with some Dunlop Direzza star spec z2. They look like they should hook pretty well

Got my tires mounted, man do these things hook

Got some work done on the integra over summer. Pretty pumped about getting decent at making braided lines. Heres one for the fuel pressure regulator:

Also just some other pics of the progress, enjoy

This picture makes me really happy, its finally happening after all this time! Despite what everyone says, the manifold fit well and i am happy with it.

But sadly i need to go back to scchool, so updates will be slow as i only come back home every so often.. shes ll tucked away staying warm.

Next on the list is installing the injectors and cutting the crash bar to fit the intercooler where i want it. After that i plan on putting in the last gauges and fuel pump.

Im running the same BWR manifold as well as their downpipe and dumptube without any issues.

What injectors and pump are you going with?

tony_2018

Gotta say this build has come a long way.

Tegger93

Still has a long way to go!

Tegger93

Good to hear, i couldn't get myself to drop the extra coin for the downpipe, i will be modifying the one i have to make it work.

As far as fuel i have RC 750s and a walbro 255 to go with the Aeromotive regulator. I had to adjust fuel pressure by myself which was quite the task.

This weekend i got a little bit done to the car, I removed the manifold and tried to clean up the mating surface a bit as well as the block, seems as though there is a clear coat like finish on the block.. very tough to get off. I got it to where i liked it enough without spending my whole day scrubbing and called it good.

Inspected the valves and saw some white build up. Running lean?

Installed the gasket along with some oem honda nuts.

Then i bolted everything up and torqued it. Blow off valve is a tight fit under that strut bar but it should fit. we will see if i can wiggle it around a bit more so it doesn't rub. Yes i know there are no clamps on the piping haha
I am very happy with the downpipe and wastegate placement. As far as the intercooler it is not in its final place, i am going to have to cut the bar and move it up and to the left about an inch or so. I was just too excited and wanted to see how it was going to look!

<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/140717719@N03/25026828089/in/dateposted-public/" title="setup"><img src="https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1663/25026828089_daf2cf22c6.jpg" width="375" height="500" alt="setup"></a>

Thats all for now, my downpipe will have to be re-fabbed.. as of now the flex pipe section hits under the oil pan so that will have to be moved father down a bit. Stay tuned!

Somewhat car related, picked up a new phone case..lol

This is a pretty cool build

Tegger93

Got the intercooler mounted and map sensor installed this weekend but my phone wasn't working so no pics!
I know i can look but does anyone know the garret oil return flange bolt size off hand? Thanks

Tegger93

Found it
Oil return Flange bolt size

8mm x 1.25 [20mm]
Some Garrett uses 3/8-16 threads per inch [20mm]

Guess i will just have to try both.

Tegger93

I was bored in class so I decided to make a list of what still has to be finished

Here it goes!

1) Get the intercooler in the right spot.
2) Weld downpipe.
3) Plumb oil feed and return lines.
4) Install injectors.
5) Wire gauges/ plug in ecu.
6) Call King Motorsports about BBG
7) Install fuel pump.
8)Put on Type R brakes/ paint spindles.
9) Vacuum lines.
10) double check all bolts.
11) New spark plugs.
12) Wheels on and off jackstands. Test start. Check for leaks.
13) Set up tune date!

14) Have a beer

Tegger93

Should be able to get some work done this weekend, stay tuned!

Tegger93

Got one of the spindles out and the oil drain plumbed , the cold put a damper on motivation.

Tight-R

LOL, if you think the cold was bad, just wait until you get the 10" of snow coming tonight/tomorrow. If that's your current location that is...

Awesome build though, looking forward to updates. I thought I was going to see some turbo pulls on this last page :-(

Tegger93

Currently going to school in Platteville, WI but Roscoe is the hometown. & yes we did get the snow. Sadly dyno will most likely be postponed until spring. :/

tony_2018

YES!!!WOOHOOO!!!TAHNK GOD FOR NO DYNO DAY!!!

I kid dude...just enjoy time with the fam.

This my friends is why you do your research before attempting anything. The picture below shows the outer rim that holds the wheel bearing snap ring snapped off when i was pressing out the bearing. Luckily no one got hurt when this thing let go
<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/140717719@N03/25394270395/in/dateposted-public/" title="brokenknuckle"><img src="https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1715/25394270395_cf7db6b07e.jpg" width="375" height="500" alt="brokenknuckle"></a>
Ended up going to the junkyard and getting a new knuckle. Pressed out everything the RIGHT way and got them sanded down. Before and after.
<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/140717719@N03/25026679519/in/dateposted-public/" title="beforeandafter"><img src="https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1647/25026679519_a9ed3bceee.jpg" width="375" height="500" alt="beforeandafter"></a>
All taped up and ready to spray. Next step is pressing in studs wheel bearings and lower ball joints!
<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/140717719@N03/25301238161/in/dateposted-public/" title="beforepaint"><img src="https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1455/25301238161_ed98300859.jpg" width="375" height="500" alt="beforepaint"></a>
These knuckles have been a much larger project than i originally anticipated but once they are completed i will be happy!

15) Fresh Gas!!!


I love the build! And you will be so glad you did everything yourself! Keep up the good work

Loving the progress man! Might just be following in your footsteps when I get the chance

hank9b04

Or buy one already finished...

Gas will definitely be on the agenda. Thanks i have winter break coming up soon so that means more wrenching time!

Do it! It has been a huge learning experience and im sure it will pay off in the end!

But building it is half the fun

hank9b04

While I agree that I too enjoy working on cars, I also understand it's not for everyone. Also you can, most times, get someone else's used toy for a lot less than building your own toy the same way. Saves on the stress and time too. Just my opinion, and I do envy you doing all the work.
