Finally, after more than my fair share of bullshit with this car over the last 6 months...she's alive and running.

Setup:

- 98 ITR motor (bone stock w/ stock LSD tranny, AEBS headstuds & OEM HG waiting to go in), out of 98 ITR # 1007 (thanks again Penny)
- A/C compatible ramhorn manifold, made by Jay Thornton (crazy fab guy from Canada, got it for cheap so I can't complain)
- Garrett GT3255E, ceramic-coated and assembled by the awesome guys at Speed Trapp Consulting in Michigan
- 3" A/C compatible downpipe, pie-cut h0tness and modded by LJ @ Full-Blown
- 3" KTeller exhaust, with 18" resonator and 3" Magnaflow cat
- Function7 oil inlet/return flanges
- Full-Blown Motorsports oil return line
- Tial 35mm WG, with 7 lb. WG spring
- Apexi AVC-R
- HKS SSQV BOV
- Spoolin' Performance polished aluminum intercooler piping (dirty as fawk)
- I don't remember right now...I've done a lot of **** to this car over the years, lol

The car/engine bay are a complete mess, and full of dust from me cutting my shrouds and headlights up with a dremel for my HID retrofit. I still have to:

- find a vacuum source for the boost gauge
- have LJ @ Full-Blown Motorsports fab me up a side-exit dumptube again
- Get the exhaust re-aligned and new gaskets installed
- install my new OEM radiator support (that opening that I made on my current one helped SO much with installation though, lol)
- replace my fender (I hate spending money on paint, rawr)
- clean up the wiring, vac. lines, etc...
- find the missing valve cover nut and cap that goes on the VC (I'm still pissed, hopefully it's not somewhere in my bay still!)
- Get her tuned by Jordan @ Consummate Tuning next week
- etc...you all know how this game goes





Where she sleeps all day every day...expletive off thieves


Big thanks to Jordan and Pat with RDR/Consummate Tuning for the advice and tuning, LJ @ Full-Blown Motorsports for your m4d tYtE welding skills, DubSauce (Kevin) for helping me put in the motor, and Paulzy and many other Honda veterans for putting up with all of my dumb questions

I'll be seeing you bitches at the track!

Nothing yet, just got it running this morning after her 6-month vacation in the garage

My buddy made 322whp @ 9 lbs. of boost on a stock B17 with the same turbo as me. So she should be scootin' pretty well this season.

 

what happened to your passenger side behind the tire?

Don't trust your friends to remember to tighten your LCA ball joint castle nut...or remember to put the cotter pin back in. Man that day sucked.

Haven't fixed it in over two years. I hate spending money on paint
