Default Welcome the newest member to the darkside

All i can say is that it was well worth the $. I went with the revhard kit and did the obd1 conversion, and i also ditched the stock fans and got the Fal fans, Colder plugs, turbo timer ect. I am really pleased with results and i wish i would have went this way from the start. First i had a gsr w/ 75 shot then b20 all motor, then b20 supercharged and now finally turbo b20.

I have went thru alot of $ but i have also learned alot about different setups in exchange. I also got my set of te37's last week so i am very pleased with my car.
just thought i'd share with you guys.

Yeah stock radiator. I was thinking about getting the C&R w/ the fal fans included but funds fell a little short as this put a huge dent in my wallet.

Congrats...

yea, like they said, you wont need another radiator... I have driven to colorado twice in the desert heat and had no overheating problems... I ran 80-85 the whole way... a little boost every now and then to go around someone.. ran fine.

those thinner fans are a + though... i want some of those FAL fans..

Me and Iggy just walked, wait no, RAN AWAY FROM, two different LS1's on the freeway, we were out at my step-brothers house putting my LSVTEC in the CRX, and then we left, on our way to the beer store, we get pulled over for no front headlight, we get left go, even though my brother had a warrent, no prob, we went to Iggys house and picked up the old DC header that he ha on his car, to run it on mine temporarily till I get my turbo. on the way back, we run across an LS1 on the freeway, run him, give him half a car headstart, and pull about five lengths on him, then later on in the night on the way to the apartment that were at right now, we ran another LT1 pulled about nine lenghts on this one, this guy was in amazement.

And the guy in the first car that we raced, we followed him to the beer store, and after he got spanked, and I quote "you mean a turbo will do that?!?" all we cpuld do was smile.....Iggys car is tight, I cant wait to get my turbo, speaking of, anyone know where I can get a job?? Dayum, Im kinda drunk, but its OK.

bottom line, Iggy needs to race Chris

Iggy is runing 6.5 PSI right now, keep in mind that it is a stock B20 block, with all of the B20 parts (water pump, oil pump, pistons, etc.) And Iggy isnt the best driver, ha ha just kidding Iggy, you are drunk as hell watching some bruce lee movie right now, (NO MORE ALCOHOL FOR YOU) anyways, Chris, we got the motor in the crx tonight, turbo coming soon, anyways, Iggy's car pulls hard, hes getting stickers that say, "I dont need a girlfriend, I've got a turbo".
