ever seen an rbc under a usdm hood????












well... there it is!!! lol

i had the flange milled down about 3/16" to drop the front of the manifold about a 1/2". i had it sitting next to a stock rbc but didnt get a pic of the difference. i had to cut the hood out some more and the motor is still spaced down the same amount as i had it before just to get the hood to shut over the valve cover.

and here is the pic of the dyno sheet... the cheap *** header that is on there is killing the power but im not gonna get a good header just to boost it in less than a month. Also, you have to take into consideration that the prb manifold was dyno'd at 14% humidity and 43* and today on was 68% humidity and 63* (not exactly the best weather for a dyno session) and the huge hump is from the 4" long intake tube LOL!

Nice. Good to see another sedan getting some love.

 

Sedan ED + K20 = straight street sleeper . Nice work man, and keep it clean.

 

sleepppppperrrrrrrr

 

I like what I see, wish I had a K20 in my EF! Any pics of the rest of the car? Or is it just a beater with a nice engine?

 

in an ef four door too!

 

check the link in my sig for the whole build... getting boosted in like two weeks too!!!

there are plenty of pics there...

 

sleeper for sure good job

 

very nice work! i envy you

 

i thought you had a cf hood?

 

love the sedan +K =

 

I did but it was for a hatch and it didn't fit very well so I sold it. I wish someone made a jdm style hood that fits the sedan. I'd be all over that or the option or the jdm clip is always an option

 

Why hasn't this been posted in the EFSS?

 

what mounts are you using? what else did you do to get the motor lower?

i can't see how the angles on your axles aren't completely ****ed

 

haha wow, that is crazy!

 

They are hasport mounts with only the sides spaced down and if you think about it... Lowering the front of the motor a half inch is only going to pivot the diff less than a quarter of af an inch down and back. Also I don't have the car lowered a lot so the axles sit pretty darn straight

 

nice nice

 

ok now that i am not writing on my phone... lol

here's a pic of the driver side axle


i cant get a good pic of the pass side cause of the header and only having the camera on my phone

and here was todays progress. i moved the rad over and down a little to get more space around the rbc and also moved the fan to the engine side to make room for the fmic

 

man, you change engines like you change underwear. wasnt it just last summer you were building the turbo b-series in that car? would love to have your cash flow to put into my 4dr.

 

LOL... the funny part is all i did was part out the old setup which i shopped around for and got really good deals on for enough to swap it and turbo it with no out of pocket moneys you just got to be a smart buyer/seller and have some high dollar parts first to sell
