not a bad setup my friend. I always enjoyed those turbo manifolds for some reason. what suspension mods are you gonna be going with? gotta put that power to the ground!

 

Why not just buy a traction bar to help give you room for the Dp and remove the gangster lean of the radiator? You'll want it anyways to help reduce your wheel hop down the line anyways.

But none the less, its always nice seeing another boosted ef 4door.

 

as you can see this is ghetto rigged, if i had money for a traction bar i would have bought one, im going to fab one up when i can afford the materials, as for suspension all i have now are my koni/nuespeed setup. i filled all the motor mounts to gain some traction. ill have pics of the car when its done, and if you have ever put a 3 inch core intercooler on an ef i think you will realize why the bumper had to go, i wasnt going to leave like a couple of scraps on it and have it look like ****.

 

I under stand I put a 3 inch wide intercooler on a 92 accord and the bumper had to take a big ol' hack job. I'd like to see you fab a traction bar thatd be pretty sweet.

 

looks good but thats alot of bumper missing.

Although, i was able to fit a 3.5 thick core IC behind my bumper by just cutting the bumper support and the grill out. Did you modify the bumper support at all?

 

looks good

 

Great HMT build.

 

dang thats gonna look sik wit a lip. mk3 gti lip?

 

im going to fill in the opening with expanded metal and paint it black, yeah i cut the support in half and welded angle on to hold the intercooler in place. i suppose i could have pushed the intercooler back more but it would be really close to the downpipe and turbo.... expletive it i dont care just want to get this **** runnin.
