Default So close, I can almost taste it arghh!

Well..i got really bored last night and wanted to take new pics of what i have pieced so far. I do have a question however. I am using an SFP manifold and intercooler piping from the Apexi Singlecam turbo kit. From the pictures it doesn't look like I will have any problems getting all of the piping hooked up. Anybody else see something I don't?





This kit has been Khoi approved!!

Thanks for all of the replies..Yeah, I am still in the process of piecing everything but I expect to be boosted by June.

I plan to use Hondata w/RC 550s. Not quite sure on who is going to do the tuning for me yet, it maybe Autologic or VSV. Autologic is too far of a drive for me (almost 9hrs) where VSV would be a 3 hour trek. We'll just have to see when it gets closer to that time.

Well, you are closer than me!

How long has it taken you to get all those parts? Where did you buy them?

I'm thinkin it will take me about a year to piece together my kit...

Patience...I wish I had some!

Good luck!

Well..its been a long process...almost a year, but that is only because I had a different kit at the time. I sold that kit recently and upgraded to this. I find it funny that i haven't tasted boost yet..but i already upgraded. Umm..some of the parts i bought from other honda-tech members. I bought the turbo from a local shop for 600 bucks. Just be patient, you gotta be in this game, or else you risk blowing your **** up.

sorry forgot to answer your question....looks exactly the same as my friends piping in his civic...It might need a few adjustments on the driver side but the passenger side looking A+++
