bling bling - just buy a new rubber gasket to replace the old one and some Hondabond sealant to reseal. Quick 45min job a newbie with the tools can do (read: me).

pm me with some more info on that turbo setup. Great engine bay, btw! I think I might stick with my Wrinkle Red idea.


Oh BTW RSXTYPES- Go to Napa or some kind of automotive supply place. order a can or Krylon Wrinkle Red paint for 6 bucks and DIY. Why spend the $180+ if you can DIY for 6 bucks!

Cybernation Stage 1 with modified downpipe and custom intake. I'm slowing changing it out because Cybernation kit was complete trash in terms of quality. It produces power, don't get my wrong, but they just tossed it together made a generic manifold and downpipe and called it their kit. I ditched Guardian within a week of it stalling me out at idle or low speed turns!!!

With K-Pro and a rich tune for safety, I'm putting ~300 to the wheels with 237tq @10psi

how much of a bitch was it to install the turbo, turbo manifold, wastegate, and downpipe on the K20? It kinda looks like there is some room to work with near the firewall. Kit looks solid though. Any more pics of the manifold and Turbo? I'm looking to go Turbonetics a/r .60 but don't really know what I want to do with the manifold. either keep it behind the VC and block or bring it out to the side where the stock airbox goes and have the turbo right there. Also, do you run into problems with overheating? I heard some company makes an air/water cooler for turbo setups. I might go with that idea to keep it that much cooler cuz its such a small *** engine bay.


-Sorry for keeping this "off" topic.


I plan to do my Valve cover today. Krylon Wrinkle Red!

I do not get overheating problems. It is a rear lower mount which is an idea I like, I don't need big power so I don't want it located uptop right next to the intake. The heat it generates would soak down the air charge. Manifold fit fine, downpipe has a couple kinks in it, we have to knock a dent in it for fitment issues.

Liquid to air chargers are expensive, but awesome. Comptech and Jackson are both working on one for their supercharger setups for our car, so I'm looking forward to that as I might rip off this kit and go Comptech SC. (better for daily driving). PM me if you want more info, don't want to jack this thread more than we have!
