[j0000stin]

k24 turbo>sti

i'll prove it soon enough.

edited! haha

[AKEP]

damn you guys postin' as im editing. lol

[AKEP]

so i pretty much started the swap today, and got everything off the A3 that needs too, but the garage was closing so i didn't get to pull the motor.

honestly, if i had gone with my original plan, i would have had it dropped through the bottom a few hours earlier. there's too much crap in the way up top that you have to dick with.

and for all you people that accidentally dropped your axles out during spring installs, or coil-over install, i wish i had your luck. i could NOT get the axles out to save my life, hours wasted on pulling and prying and jiggling and you name it. i finally got a big friendly crow bar and popped the driver side out, then somehow i grabbed the passenger side, and it slid out. there was lots of cursing.

so basically, i have a civic sitting on a lift, with the engine/tranny dangling by 2 mounts, and all accessories removed. clutch slave is removed, shifter cables, harness pulled through firewall, axles are off, fuel lines are pulled, and rad hose is separated from engine.

i didn't take any pictures, because theres nothing exciting about a dirty k20a3 being pulled from an ep3.

[heyvortek]

using a stock clutch!??! u so krazy. i had an upgraded clutch(not 6 puck) and it was goin quick when i was boosted. mite as well get the 6 puck while everything is out. gewd luck with the build.

[AKEP]

yeah im lame. w/e tho it was either a stg something clutch and no build, or a NEW clutch and more goodies.i now have better resources for these kind of things. back when i bought it, i didn't. oh well.

[POOPTOOTH]

Dude, please do yourself a favor and install a clutch now. You're going to fry the stock clutch on a boosted 2.4 in NO time. You don't want to have to do all that stuff again in a few months. If $$$ is an issue, buy an ebay clutch...hell you're rocking an ebay turbo kit, might as well keep the theme going..:mangel:

[j0000stin]

told you not to use a stock replacement. someone didnt wanna listen haha

wheres pics as promise?

[AKEP]

did get paint yet LOL. some of the other pictures, are exclusive right now. lol. they'll be up in a bit though. im just being lazy. i didn't get alot of the pictures because i had oil and grease all over my hands. i didnt buy any gloves so yeah, my hands are all cut up from everything.

but yeah justin, if my car was at andres instead of on base, i'd def wait and get a 6puck instead, but im paying by the hour whether im working on it or not. so yeah, just trying to get it drivable. when i fry that cheap clutch, i'll be ready with a 6 puck.

[AKEP]

my car sounds like a muscle car with just a 3" open down pipe.

[gtimportfanatic]

[makavelibranded]

Hey I was wondering how you have your bov setup, I just got the type s and am playing around with the adjustments. Also you covered the smaller outlet on the bov is that to stop the signature wistle? I opened mine I wasint sure if it was to stiff and took ot the secondary spring like the evo owners. I havint messed around with mine too much just curious if you have both springs or not, and how you vacuum lines are hooked up thanks.

[AKEP]

i covered the little hole, its an assist port, you hook to ic piping i think. i think i have both springs, and the tension set almost all the way soft and it blows off nearly anywhere over 2k. if i set it any harder it surges my turbo. just set it really soft and tighten it a little until you surge then back it off into soft a little where it doesn't surge. the signature whistle is from the outlet. you can open it with a vacuum pump and blow through it and it'll make the sound again lol.

[makavelibranded]

Haha sweet you really helped, ill play with here soon thanks.

[PriligySir]

nothing else needs

[Jdmdomo]
