Default VSM EK

Nothing special.. just your average turbo h22 sleeper...






Some shots of the newly painted valve cover.. (1200º "aluminium" paint and Sapphire blue metal flake for the plug cover)

Yeah, it's a TiAL BOV and wastegate. I don't have any sound clips but honestly you cannot hear the BOV... super super quiet..

For anyone that's interested on the specs..

JDM H22A 10.6:1 w/M2B4 LSD transmission (stock internals)

SFP manifold
T3/T04E
TiAL Wastegate
3" dump to 3" electric cutout, T's back to stock exhaust
3" intake & filter
2.5" mandrel bent ic piping
fmic painted black (fills the front grille, do not know dimensions off the top of my head)
SS oil feed/return w/Earl's fittings
GReddy catch can
DSS stage2 axles
P28 w/Uberdata

Thats about it.. motor is bolted in via HCP mounts.. stock suspension (other than OEM ITR rear sway bar w/Breaks chassis kit and Skunk2 front/rear strut bars)

Once I'm able to pick-up some Si's I can throw on my brakes which consist of:

complete 00 GSR rear trailing arms/brakes w/ss lines and hawk pads
00 gsr front spindles w/ 11.1" Brembo Prelude rotors re-drilled, ss lines, hawk pads and twin-piston acura calipers.

As for cosmetics I've picked up an OEM si front grill, looking for oem front lip and will probably pickup jdm ctr headlights and fog lights..

it started out as a dd, a month later I pulled the D16Y8 w/ only 19K miles on her and threw in an H22 .. within two months she was boosted. I was originally going to get a boosted car to start with (sti or evo) but the cost of payments + insurance wasn't worth it.. so I picked up the 00 cx, pay less than $100 per month to insure it and they have no idea whats under the hood works for me.. currently looking for a bare short block to build up so I can up the boost. Car currently runs 10PSI via the TiAL wastegate.

Not yet, need to have her tuned (base map for right now) but work leaves little free time.
