Awsome man!!

Great job


Can't wait to see some Dyno #'s

Bryson

 

yeah I can get access to a Dyno around here $35 dollar for 3 runs.... 15 mins away. They don't know jack about IMPORTS!!!!!! so i can't get my HONDATA dynotune. I wanted to crank up the boost to 8-10 lbs w/o it dynotune and get a DYNO and see what number I can get, but I'm afraid to blow another MOTOR !!! dunno if I should or not

 

damn, that looks pretty f'n good...

 

looks great man!

good ****! but is your muffler touching your bumper? If it is, be careful because when my N1 touched, the bumper melted a little.

 

How much did you pay for the 3 inch N1? How does it sound?

 

How does it sound? im running 3inches right now and wanted to slap the apexii on also...but people keep telling me its loud..i live in cal so...

Is is deep? How does it sound while cruzing on the FW?

Marc

 

Thank you guys,

Na uh... the guy at the muffler shop had his finger rule . he space it w/ all of the pipings and the muffler itself. I need to get a 3in FLEXPIPE ASAP and a 3in straight Piping (stainless) ... anyone knows where I can get one for a good price?

 

It wasn't Deep as I wanted it to be. The tone of it is somewhat deep/ricey, but not enough. While driving around the streets, it's okay. But when you are on WOT, it gets LOUD. On FWY.... its loud but IMO, it bareable. But I will get a resonater later down in the future because I only had the exhaust on for a DAY only...and HAVN't been driving my own car for at least 6 months.

So It might get annoying later on......

 

was the pipint pre made and sent to you or was it made at the place that installed it???? if it was pre made how much was it and do they make them for crx's?

 

I got it 150 shipped, so it was a steal for that price. I got it from a H-t member. It was brand new and he was selling it for a friend. I forgot his name, but he was fast on delivery.

But you can get it from groupbuycenter.com for like 199.99 shipped.

I would get your Hondata tuned before your start pushing the boost up, remember, you just got started and you don't want to start over again cause you blew your motor.

 

gotcha.... thanks for the advice. but I remember 93lscivic running 12's w/ a hondata untune boosting like 12 lbs or 10.. not sure. I was just wondering, hehe

 

Does the exhaut piping hit the ground at all? speedbumps? the chassis?

 

the muffler hangs pretty low..... like 3-4 inches off the ground and that's with some 17 in wheels!! So I wouldn't recommend this to people who drives w/ 15 in wheels. That's just too much and w/ 16's you're pushing it.

I havn't scratch the muffler yet b/cuz I only have been driving it for a day. I know for a fact that I will scatch it eventually. BTW, the roads around here are crappy in certain area and I have pass through a few street and not a scratch YET.

look at this


pretty low... ima gonna get some stiffer shocks too.

I really like the way that looks, I just fear I will bottom out and my exhaust will take a beating...

 

people who want the piping, please contact paul_vang that who set-this GB up on here...he's a great guy, and awesome seller

 

Holy crap..the turbo turned out great! How did you polish it so well?

 

Where in Texas are you at? Badass setup btw!

 

levi, As you can see I had alot of downtime when I didnt have my car running. I had alot of TIME to work on the Turbo. Took like 3 weekends, well acutally SUNDAYS and ALOT and ALOT of sanding to get a shine like that. I use sandpaper from 180,220,320, 400,600, 1000,2200. I felt like giving going halfway through but I didnt want a polish/sanded looking turbo. I also used a polish called "XTREME" **** BADASS!!!!!!

But it was well worth it

around the houston area... like 1 1/2 from there and you? How did you get your cluster and gauges like that ?

Man...seeing the turbo like that temps me to do that to my next one. I will have plenty of downtime as well.

That has to be one of the best self done polished turbos I have ever seen.
