sleeper engine shots
looking to get ideas on how to conceal the motor to make it look as stock as possible.
ive seen a teal integra on this site with one but couldnt find it. https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif |

Some people have managed to put stock heat shields over their DIY HF manifolds, I'll see if I can dig it up somehow.

Re: sleeper engine shots (whteteg8901)
alright, you guys win...
to me though, i dont see the point in going sleeper under the hood... i mean who cares, its not like people walk by and see it... when i pop the hood, i like to see the bling... https://honda-tech.com/forums/images...es/emsmile.gif |
Re: sleeper engine shots (Topdawgg)
it might be a way of catching people off guard in a race who want to see the engine bay real quick first or somethng. although it might be useful if an officer makes you pop your hood also.

ok.. the cops is a good reason... but they never hastle us around here... and we dont do much racing around here besides the track.. and then, its against alot of muscle that dont know what half the stuff is anyways |
Re: sleeper engine shots (Topdawgg)
Yea that's what I was thinking, were races at the track. Most people know what a turbo looks like, so say if you were to romp on some guy Trans Am at the strip hardcore you could show the T/A owner after the race that all you had was an "all motor" build with cams or something. It would be even more effective if it was at nght because then they wouldn't be able to get a really good look. https://honda-tech.com/forums/images...s/emsmilep.gif

Like how on the stock intake arm, the one line goes off of the valve cover and recirculates into the intake. I dunno though, that is just my guess. |
Re: (CRX_1.8T)
i hope its just to make it "look" stock. talk about boost leak
|
Re: (mitsuman)
Tony is a pretty sharp guy, I doubt it is actually tapped into his charge pipes. He's got some pretty cool videos of this car, you should check them out if you can.
|
Re: (CRX_1.8T)
i figured he wouldnt do something like that but? ya never knowww
|
Re: sleeper engine shots (whteteg8901)
|
Re: (CRX_1.8T)
Well it has to be for looks because im sure his valvetrain doesn't like being exposed to boost https://honda-tech.com/forums/images...s/emsmilep.gif
Looks sick tho!! |
Re: (50SaysHeEatsIt)
Ill try to find it, but I saw a built B16 that had the stock plastic intake pipes over the charge piping. The piping went through a hacked stock air box, it was amazing how stock it looked. And no, it wasn't Tony The Tigers, lol
|
thanks alot you guys. Thats exactly the car i was talking about. i wonder if hes using a screen mesh over the turbo instead of a filter? i cant see a thing
