this is the plan

bottom end:
-pauter rods
-arias 85 mm bore 11:0 comp pistons
-already has a sleeved rs machine block (dropped oil pan and everything looks fine)

top end:
-already has portflow springs, retainers, and valves
-pick up some stock itrs came in favor of the crower cams that are in there

boost:
- sc44-sc61 (have not decided yet, all dep on pwr goal and spool time trade off)
- inline pro or full race manifold dep on power goal
- tial wg
- tial bov
- hondata (also came w/ car )

etc........................

here are some pic, the body and interior are very nice, the only thing that needs paint is the front bumper and lip.

exterior plans are simple, repaint lip and front bumper *they car will remain 100% stock on the outside and inside* sry JDM fanboys, this is one ITR that will remain USDM

 

Do I spy a NY plate?

 

Texas

 

Ehh, my screen sucks

Welcome!

 

Welcome, fellow 98 CW ITR :D

 

thank you for all the nice replies.

&lt;----just got back from checking on her in the garage. i had to take a seat inside to convince myself this not some really good dream

 

Best of luck

 

very good choice.. i too am a recent ITR owner, loving every minute of it

 

congrats on your r, day pics coming soon

 

watch her closely!

 

Be careful with the high compression and big turbos Take a look at GT28RS (Disco Potato) or the like, too.

p.s. I just switched from stock compression to 9:1 compression, without changing tuning or anything else, and it feels very similar. No dyno comparison, but maybe it spools 300-500 RPM slower, everything else is the same. Is that extra fast spool worth the risks of running higher compression? That's up to you I guess.

nicely broken in lol. I cant wait til the day my R is beat to hell (more than it currently is anyway) so I can just say F IT and boost the hell out of it for fun. until then, Ill keep the car slow and learn to drive fast. welcome to the fam.
