There are no bolts front or rear due to tire fitment. They are not the original rubber band that came with the kit. I went to a local hardware store and bought smaller diameter rubber gaskets to close the gap after originals dry rotted

Nice thread! Great work. Keep it going.

speedjunkie_g35

Thanks!!!

Updated personal best on current setup before upgrading
My car finally broke into the 7 ' s breaking loose out of the hole, 2nd, and 3rd.


Super 60 turbo is for sale.

speedjunkie_g35

Picked up a gsr long block with broken timing belt. Been slowly breaking it apart. Looks like it would have been good to go with another timing belt but this motor will be upgraded. No p2v contact made this purchase even better! !!



Not up to date on child labor laws...

Love your build man.


Such a nice transformation from start to finish. Any updates?

How far from daytona area are you?

speedjunkie_g35

Really??? You are in the area where a bunch of friends live, well ft walton. There are quite a few nice hondas out that way and even more imports. Check out race850.com. it a little dead lately but everyone usually gets on there to organize meets. Thanks by the way for the complements. I hate when I am dealing with periods of downtime, it gets discouraging because it is a blast to drive this car!!
Thanks!!! Right now I am dealing with down time. With the holidays and my wifes graduation, i havent had much free time and when i do, it has been working on my new dd. I have a bunch to do like installing my new turbo, some fab work, getting spring rates adjusted(turbo and everything made a difference I can feel so I am bumping front spring rates to 450) new tires need to be put on and play with the alignment. I hope to get some buddies over for motivation this weekend and get to work on the turbo and suspension.

I also will have this to install soon... finally some support!!!

I am about 5 hrs from daytona. I live as far west in florida as you can go. I use to be less than a hr from daytona when I lived in Altamonte springs

Finally got the old turbo out and new turbo going back on tonight.

speedjunkie_g35

All shiny and purdy.



Bolted in and almost ready to go. Need to re route oil drain line and she will be ready to fire up.

speedjunkie_g35

It is together and running!!! Off to exhaust shop tomorrow and tune on Saturday.

speedjunkie_g35

Got exhaust welded up and my new seat in. It is a little tight in the shoulders but overall fits me perfect. Off to Johnny's tomorrow.

speedjunkie_g35

Here it is...


Peak hp is same but there were gains in the midrange almost up to 50 whp.
Here is the before and after on the same graph. Old set up was at 12 psi vs new at 8 psi.



My buddy was stoked to see this car! If you know which tuner has a 1000+ tt viper, you know who i trust tuning my car.

speedjunkie_g35

The ZII'S did awesome tonight! We were really impressed that i had didn't have any traction issues at all. New turbo comes on like a freight train. Much different than old setup.

That moment when you hear a gtr owner say how impressive that little civic was... giddy giddy goo!!!

speedjunkie_g35

Ignore bumper gap, new bands need to be put on.

speedjunkie_g35

Damn fuel pressure regulator failed last night and hydrolocked the block. Sounds like rod in cylinder 1 is bent. Shame such a strong block was taken out by something so stupid.

Sprocket469

Awesome build bro. Subscribed

speedjunkie_g35

Crazy!!! This motor is now named Timex. Pulled plugs and cylinder 1and 2 was full of fuel. Disconnected the fuel pump and turned motor by hand. Turned freely so we decided to turn it over a few times. You would have had to see the amount of fuel shooting out. Wish there would have been video but we were not expecting the unexpected. Put stock fpr on and it fired up on first turn. Amazed we went ahead and dropped the oil pan to see if any rods were bent. Nope, with the amount of fuel that dumped in cleaned all the deposits. New oil and filter on and got it home. Will do a compression test in a few just to be 100% sure and replace oil and filter in a hundred miles. I can not explain what has happened. I am still amazed. 4th gear, full throttle, full boost and no damage?????

prjct92eh2

Great build and good news on the engine! Hopefully no big damage was done.

I went through most of your build and your wheels convinced me to go with the 15X8 +28 Enkei RPF1 instead of the 15X8 +36 949 Racing. My main fear was the offset, but your +25 fit pretty well so i went with the lower one.

Let us know how you like that Ortiz gauge pod. It looks like the version that replaces the top of the dash vent? I was thinking about the same one in the 2 pod version.

speedjunkie_g35

Tired of fixing the old manifold so Greg made me another.





I picked up a gsr transmission so I could sell my itr w/ 4.7 FD
I def have mixed emotions about selling the itr transmission. I will Prob swap back and forth to see what I prefer. Picking up a 4.4 itr transmission tonight that is damaged. Hope to salvage the diff. Also picked up a Victor x manifold with a 70 mm TB
