P.O.S jacklift blew out while i was under the car changing my oil. +1 for the cinderblocks i used as safety stands. hahah!

 

that's how you roll circa 2007. Not too many people are into that anymore. I actually liked 16's on my DA.

 

ive been on 14's 15's and 16's, all were alright, just depends on the height of the car

 

14s are sick especially if they're 14x7 Panas.

 

If u want a nice valve cover hit me up

 

Lol! huh? Sure why not

 

Wow, that's vague...

 

I met you before @ a g2ic meet. This was my old DA
Speaking of which.. look at that sexy guy to the left : P


Thanks, the wheels are re-barreled SSR Supermesh

Looking good, any updates?

Nice! I've always been a fan. Any engine bay pics?

Be careful man, a guy just passed away due to the car falling on him. He had jack stands but didn't chock the tires. (working on a slanted driveway)
****EVERYONE PLEASE USE JACK STANDS & CHOCK THE TIRES. LEAVE THE JACK FOR EXTRA SUPPORT IF POSSIBLE*****

 

Good! Get it done son!
Had my buddy help make me a down pipe tonight. I had a full 3inch downpipe but my turbo has a 2.5 inch outlet so we cut and shaped some piping. We taped it up and marked it for my buddy to weld it. Hopefully it comes out right, or take 2.

I also sold my old 2.5inch exhaust to a local guy for $80
I was just gonna trash it so its a win win!

I have a nice Valve cover.
It only has about 3 holes in it from where my cam went threw the cover.
But Harley Davidson Valve covers are known to be strong, so it should be ok.
But I don't have it yet, I just saw it at the junkyard,
So let me know if you want that for a trade!

 

That is really unfortunate for the guy. I've heard many stories about people being crushed under their cars due to jack lifts malfunctioning.
To think it could have happened to me. I know it's not a laughing matter but MAN did i laugh my *** off after.
Luckily i had something to use as stands and that i didnt forget to chock the tires. seriously dodged a bullet this time around.

Going to kragens tomorrow to get me a set of real jacklift/stands and all.

Also, i'm looking into installing camber kits. Is it really as easy as how it looks to install?
The adjusting looks more time consuming than the actual installation.

 

does anyone know what a stock b18a1 can handle for boost? was thinking about running 6 to 8 psi.

 

here is my summer project =]

 

Like completely stock? I'd say try it if you feel like building another motor....
It will most likely be able to take it for a little while then

My thing is why try to go the cheap route, cheap and "fast" do not mix, this has been proven time and time again. Take some time, save some money and plan your build well!

 

lol im gonna bost on a Semi stock b18b just a BC head with studs and later down the road possibly mess around with vtec again ^^ i hope my motor doesnt go

my wifes gonna send me pics of my manifold and turbo etc... stuff tomorow so i will post them up soon now that i got the big things out of the way i just need to order the small things, i think im just gonna run chrome gold for awhile and mess around with it befor i sink in for a s300.

hows you **** comin along matt?


Jimmy are you actually gonna do work on your car over the past 5years weve known each other youve been saying that..... when i come home from korea and you dont have anything done im gonna hit you in your sack so hard lol you better do some work brother man you got the know how and the people to help you out get-r-done foo

 

I think as long as you respect it, then it will be fine for a bit. But all of us get bored of the power level and want more, so it's only natural.

I'd say just get S300 from the get go, would be a lot easier and only like $200 more.

Car is coming along good. Fabbed up the down pipe last night. Gotta get it welded. Then will just need to run the IC piping and well the BOV flange and mount the IC.

Then work out any bugs, got the injector clips I needed so I should be rolling soon.

 

I would go with a nic even number 18psi..should run nice and reliable

 

yea 18psi would be fun but only for about 20 minutes.

 

Seriously? You must be pushing mad psi then y0!

 

Matt do you need those injector clips, never got a response from you.

 

i know a guy locally who pushed 15 psi daily on a bone stock ls, going to the drag strip every chance he got, running on slicks and running low 11's for 3 years before it finally popped. as long as compression is good and it doesnt use oil, i see absolutely no reason not to boost a stock engine

 

i think it depends on what engine you're boosting, i wouldnt boost my b20 anytime soon, thats a cracked sleeve waiting to happen

 

Ahh sorry, forgot to get back to you
I do not need them but thanks for the quick offer! I got some my boy had from a volvo.

You could run a really small turbo that wouldn't require you to rev that high.

 

I tried to blow my stock motor up with 140,000 miles on it..I turned it up to 20psi and drove it for about 3 months..I would leave my house a beat the hell out of it lol...When I want them to blow they wont hahaha

 

that's an easy fix, I've seen worse.
