Well guys...it's all done!!! The only thing left is some flanges that need to be welded on my 3" exhaust, gotta install the fuel pump and some injectors, and then a tune. Car right now has the stock ecu and fuel system in it. I fired it up last night and have been giving it a couple heat cycles. After hearing so many horror stories i was REALLY nervous but i turned the key and it fired right up with no vacuum leaks, and no oil leaks!! Everything went perfect and it sounds so badass with the open downpipe right now!! Don't mind the check engine it's a obd2 ecu and there's one o2 sensor now Horsepower goal is going to be 350 whp. Car is being tuned by King Motorsports on the 19th. Hope you guys like them!!

Car is all tuned as of 4-19-08..made 313 whp and 227wtq at 10 psi

Looks real good man...

How about a little more info on the setup.

 

Set up is as follows:
Garrett 57 trim .60/.63
SLS Shorty Manifold/Downpipe/Dumptube
Tial 44mm wastegate
Tial BOV
Spearco 350hp Intercooler
RC Autoworks charge piping
Greddy profec b boost controller
B&R Fittings Catch Can
*Custom catch can lines and fittings with pushloc hose
Hondata s200
PLX M-300 wideband

 

i allways loved them shorty manifolds!!

 

The car looks absolutely sick

Be patient and be easy driving it or don't drive it till the tune, lol. Is it a DD?

 

Oh don't worry i know now how tempting it is but the car will not even come close to seeing boost until the tune lol. I'll just keep giving it heat cycles...can't hurt it only make it better so everything is nice and ready for the tune! Car will be a weekend warrior

 

Nice setup. I'm running the same thing but with a GT3255E. Good luck on your tune and achieving your power goal.

 

Thats a good lookin street car

 

Clean looking setup you have there, going to be real fun, how much psi are you going to run on the turbo, and what tuning are you using? Whats your HP goal?

Also what injectors are you going use.

 

looks like fun

The goal is going to be 300whp off of the wastegate (10psi) and 340-350 whp at around 14 psi. I'm using hondata s200

 

more pics of the nova.

lol actually no i know nothing about cameras so maybe there was a different setting on the camera that i didn't know about. I just take pictures lol. They turned out good tho!

Nope block was rebuilt. JE Pistons (about 9.6:1 comp ratio), all brand new oem main and rod bearings which were also blue printed, balanced crank, all new oem gaskets and seals, cometic head gasket, ARP head studs, and a hondata intake manifold gasket. Head is stock

 

Sounds like it will be a LOT of fun to drive. The parts have been well-chosen, and look cleanly installed. KUDOS to ya...

 

the nova!

 

It will be nice having another fast Honda in the area. I'm tired of seeing all the ricerods/slobalts/neons around here. Don't settle for anything less than 400whp, the guys at King can get it there easy. The guy I know well at King had a &gt;550 whp car at his last job.

BTW if you want to swing over to Oconomowoc, I could set you up with a decent Crome basemap in which boosting will be impossible (safely). I also do welding

 

your gsr is sick, hope my engine will look like that some day soon.
mad props

 

With Hondata and Tim or Mike tuning it....You should hit 350.....


but.... lets get more info on the hot rod in the backround

 

once you get your car tuned you should head straight up to the madison meet that day https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=2227969
