Well i'm finally getting around to making my build thread. Decided to ditch the JRSC and go turbo. While i was piecing together my turbo kit figured i would repaint the engine bay, it needs it badly. Been working on it for a couple weeks now. Big thanks to my buddy jdm95 he has the expierence with body work and a welder. hope you enjoy it

loving it right now. How much for the sc?

 

Supercharger is sold already

 

damn you always do it big!

 

What are your plans with this car? It looks like you are smoothing the engine bay out. I'm curious what your plans are for ABS, etc.

 

Thanks for the comments. nothing to crazy in the engine bay. Gonna delete the abs, most likely do a inline fuel filter set up. Clean up some wiring. As for the turbo set up i'll be keeping the a/c & p/s. this is my dd.

 

In for the build. Grabs popcorn.

 

looking good

keep up the good work cant wait to see more

 

Looks good!

 

Your bay looks almost identical to mine. What kind of power were you putting out with the JRSC setup? I see the MVM stepper, but what nose pulley is that and how much boost?

 

made 240 with a/c @10psi. when i had my 01 type r it was tuboed but i blew the engine then replaced the engine then the seals went in the turbo so at that point i ditched the turbo set up and stayed all motor then totalled the car. i picked up my current type r then i ran across a good deal on the jrsc so i had this set up for about a 1yr. just got tired of it costing so much to make power and i could easily make more power with the turbo and honestly just miss the fun i had with the turbo. too many people doubt how quick the little 4cyl turbo can be.

 

did some work tonight. hoping to have the engine bay in primer by the end of this week.
finished welding and got some filler layed down in the rough spots




more parts arrived. got to love my $75 PWR radiator. just needs alil buffing.

 

Only 240@10psi? What kind of header/exhaust were you running? I see a heatshield and hope you're at least running the 98 JDM ITR header under there. The JRSC thread in FI recommends the 2.5 Kamikaze like i'm running.

 

My buddy sold you those axles on eBay :D

good luck with build, see lots of good stuff going in

 

ya i wanted a kamikaze but at the time i was running a 96 spec but thats just a cast manifold. header was gonna be the next upgraded but ya that never happened.

 

Looking good...y didn't you stay with the jrsc??? Im guessing not enough boost huh?

 

yup just not enough hp for me.

 

well finally got to work on the itr tonight. work has been busy so its been a couple days since we could work on it. did some more sanding tonight. nothing to crazy. thanks for the comments
