So im pretty much done with my setup. After 5 years of hard works, research, learning and MANY change I finally made it !! My goal always been to build a reliable 300whp turbo Honda capable of roadracing at lower boost level but also able to run in the 12's at the track. Now for this winter I just want to make it even more reliable... my oil cooler will receive braided lines cuz I dont trust my rubber lines and my hose clamps, I also want to give a try to a Ingall engine damper to eliminate most of the vibration caused by my inserts. Install my front and rear Ingall camber kits. Run my dumptube into my downpipe and get a resonator, change my Action 2MS clutch for an ACT XTSS and a ACT flywheel. Install my original gearing... now with my shorter gear its just too short for everyday driving. I also want to learn more about street tuning wih the EMS and my WB... well I will be working on the small problem to make my car even more enjoyable.

The onlything I regret and I would change is my turbo... at the begining I was going to go for 350+whp with my SC50 .63ar but finally I learned that I just want a well balanced car so I may change for a GT28RS .82ar T3 dropin if I get a good deal...

I also want to thanks all the Honda-Tech community... thats here I learned all I know now about turbo stuff and real tuning. Its cool for a guy from the Quebec to learn from all the guys who lives from this scene and have more experience... A special thanks to Ben from Importparts who always gived me good deals and awsome service, ELspool who got a similar setup that we could compare our stuff, Tai @ Corsport who gived me an awsome service, Earl who, with his famous Benson block, solved my headgasket popping issue, Tappauto for the tuning and all the memebers who awsered my questions lol
