Apparently my thread is gone. I've owned about 8 SR powered cars and one B12 w/ CA18DE. Last year I saw an 04 VBP in a parking lot at the hotel I was staying in and that was it. Took 4 months to find Bluie and in July I rolled it home. I still have a one B13 SE-R that I call "Fasty"

Front end... maybe IC pipes need cleaned up.

Engine bay as it sits. IC pipes need some love. They looked good for so long when I had it in the garage.

Suspension setup.

Boost controller just installed. Works pretty good but came set for 16+ psi. :eek: Dyno soon.

Specs for nerds;

"JDM SR20DE (from Greg V at g-spec) motor and a Garret T28 from a GTiR motor. The turbo has 2k miles. It came bnib from a G20.net group buy. I fabbed up the 2.5" IC pipes and exhausts with some help. 3" VRS dp to a Greddy SP can on 2.5" pipes. The Greddy is choking it but looks so good imo. I also have a 3" system with Magnaflow pieces. That's going back on soon. Has kartboy bushings so exhaust stays put.

N60 MAF blow through, 370cc injectors at 4-bar fed by Walbro 255 and a Nismo fpr. DSM gen 1 recirc. Calum Realtime ECU ~230whp/tq dyno soon. Runs really nice.

The suspension is shortened Koni/GC 380/350 shigspeed pillowball tops in the rear. Active tuning rear stb, Cusco fstb, and a Nutech rear sway with shigspeed brace NX2k brakes, goodridge SS lines Axxis pads. NX2k wheels on Falken Azenis. All the ES bushings moog tie rod ends and ball joints.

NX rad, g-spec water pump pulley. 300zx rad cap. CS oil distro block for turbo feed and oil pressure sender.

Driveline is ACT hdpp Clutchmasters unsprung stage 1 disc with a 16VE flywheel prothane engine mounts, Raxles, miko tranny bar and $.99 clutch spacer, ground wire kit.

VDO gauge setup (oil temp, oil pressure, water temp, boost) Momo race wheel 350z pedals B&M short shifter Nismo titanium knob. Alpine head unit w pioneer speakers. Tsuru rubber floor mats. Mazda 626 front lip.

The daily. Added some 02-04 RSX rims and Hondata modded airbox. They are each ~9lb lighter. Stockers are super heavy. I sprayed them and it was a pita. Gonna fix up some Honda centercaps.

I like it but next year there will be upgrades. Basically the idea is to start bolting RSX parts on.

A great start!

I'm looking for some rsx rims myself, stock ones are hella heavy... good luck with it!

They are pretty easy to pick up. I had some trouble finding a set with good tires so I just went and bought all new tires.
