Finally the Carlisle 2008 Performance and Style Video My buddy made for us. If you would like to see it just type that into youtube.com. There is Part 1 and Part 2. Let me know what you guys think of my car. More to come...

It Wasn't Me

IMO - Darker paint on the drums, rotors and calipers would help. Keep the OEM taillights in it. Coils' for a better stance. Better looking wheels.

Other than that, you're on the right track.

Pretty Nice Em2, Is it tuned and if so on how many pounds?

kenbo21

ya bro its tuned with the AEM F/IC. And my wastegate is set at 7.5 psi. Once I get the Srt-4 injectors in there I will be running 10 psi

em2power

i couldnt have said it better myself... plus 1 on the altezzas ...... your lookin good, and drop fo sho man!

ejLday

looks so much better with oem tails

ken9

Look very neat and clean but do you got photo of your amp, subs, and enclosures?

kenbo21

Well there is one pic of the amp. I can take some more later today. Im at work right now. Plus I did new intercooler piping it looks a lot cleaner. Also put on black neuspeed front strut bar. I will take pics of the sub in the back and the new IC piping setup. I think it makes it look a lot better.

kenbo21

well this build thread died really quick

kenbo21

Pics will be up shortly...got a lot of bad weather here in buffalo...

kenbo21

UPDATE!!!! NEW PICS....1/16/09....I ran the IC piping different..looks a lot cleaner...got the Neuspeed Black front strut bar..HSK SSQV....KID kit....K2 Racing Front Grill...and I just cleaned her up....hope you guys like it...

texasnick

nice car man. The springs will set it off for sure. How far are you planning to go with the turbo? Also (and I'm surprised no one's asked yet) do you have any graphs?

kenbo21

Thx bro...Ya the springs should make it a lot better..only thing is that I live in buffalo and we get mad snow..but its all good..With the turbo right now the plans are that once I get my tax return, I am going to go to Paul @ dezod and put in the 577cc srt-4 injectors in than run 10 psi. Will prob stay at 10 psi over the summer. Than I am looking at getting the intake mani with fuel rail...stage 2 cam shaft......k-pro.....and maybe new pistons...At that point I will than be looking at running around 15psi...My goals are to get it to 300whp..I will need to build up the bottom end and get the intake mani with k-pro before I can hit that....

batac_boy

Nice!

recaroem2

yo man wer ein NY are you from?

-=ZAK=-

with all that money your dumping into your sohc you could. have a decent gsr swap with bolt ons

GReddy_Civic

I beg to differ, I have a y8 and it's boosted. Everything in there is new except the turbo/mani. New injectors, new downpipe, new gauges, new intercooler, new BOV new y7 oil pan, gaskets, new S300 in a p28, and dyno tuned. I made 204whp and 186wtq at 10psi. Even if you could have a full GSR swap for 2k (I paid 2600ish including tune) you wouldn't have 204whp with a stock B18C1. Even if you got it tuned after it was swapped, you wouldn't have the wtq that turbo's offer

jdm em2

^^^^^ I duno no bout that theres a couple Gsr my way there r pushin 300+ there shyt is legit..

Well, to be frank, there's not many "nice" things to say about the car. You won't catch a ton of flames on a build thread, oddly enough.


Yeah, and then he could use it as a coffee table in his living room, since it'd cost a rather unrealistic amount to put it in his car. Don't bother posting, if you don't know what you're talking about. The only feasible option he has for engine swaps, are K-series. Do yourself a favor and look at the FAQ thread before posting.

jdm em2

took the words right out of my mouth "Toyomatt84" i didnt want to be ignorant about it!

homelessEm2
