600whp Ek civic build w/ AC,PS,Cruis control

Hello everyone, I'm slowly trying to get back into the game after taking a 3 year break. This is more of a build where i'm finishing a project that was never completed. A little background, My name is Roger, I'm 22 years old and i am from the Middle Tennessee area. When I was 17, I, along with my cousin Topy, from Papaya Motorsport, started building my fully-built ls/vtec turbomotor. The motor was assembled by Topy. The old build thread can be found here https://honda-tech.com/forums/appearance-build-threads-122/17-year-olds-semi-built-thread-laosakademiks-2082061/
I pulled the swap after only 2 months, and let the motor sit for a few years.

So in my 3 year time off from the game, i decided i needed a nice daily driver. On 1/2010 I went and brought a 2002 Mercedes Benz S430. Eventually i installed an Alpine double din, Jl audio 6 1/2 components all around, Alpine pdx-5 channel amp, and JL 13v3.





Now let's get back on track. Here are the specs on my motor.

About a month ago, I came across a really great deal on a complete stock 1998 Honda civic ex coupe on craigslist. It has working AC,PS, and cruise control. My intentions were to buy it and resell for profit. After some thorough thinking, I decided to do another build and put my ls/vtec into this chassis. She needs a little TLC, but nonetheless she has great potential. My plan is to do a 600WHP setup with working ac,ps,and cruise control
