how were you planning on mounting the rdx intercooler?
on k20A there was a guy from australia that did a W2A chamber style one on a red EG i believe, and that was pretty awesome, but his advantage was that the car was RHD and he was able to do alot more on the left side of the car with no BMC or res there.
I will, just havent gotten that far yet. My only knowledge with W2A is a friend that used one in a Plymouth minivan he boosted. Retarded project... but funny as hell winning races with two kegs and a van full of people. lol Im also assuming they are all aftermarket too... so that will have to weigh into the equation.
I planned to do it the same way as i mentioned above... that way i didnt have to figure a way to use the RDX IM and TB. I just never got that far with it before i had to get rid of the RDX...
Man i spend hours scouring project cars there... there is just so much damn info over there it takes forever. Outta curiosity, anything you can think of that might help me search for it?
OH. My second package from Crutchfield arrives tomorrow. : )

Found this too...

Second Crutchfield package came in. Im stoked. I found the rear decklid, but either chucked or misplaced the front door 'seals' (plastic OEM baskets for installing the speakers), so i gotta order them from Honda along with two subframe bolts that i apparently forgot to TQ in place. Time to get to work...
Ill also be updating the first post with pix from the initial build. Im going out now to try and get a decent vid. I dunno how im gonna do it but ill try... lol
Got the vid done. Its at the bottom of the first post. Its part throttle 3rd gear roll at 3krpm, WOT 4-6th. I tried a 1-4 vid but there was just no way for me to hold onto the phone and safely handle the car, i dropped it 6 times trying lol.
And yes, shell peg the limiter in 6th, but that road is fairly bumpy... thanks AL roadworkers. lol
Is that the box I gave you? LOL
Ya man, very soon ill be building a custom ported box for the "New" Type X ill be repurchasing, probably a 2 cu ft setup, going for a 28-32 hz port, I miss my type x, the type R just doesnt have that "Quality" sound i like. Hey ill be redoing my interior speakers too if you want the Infinity kappas components I got, the 6.5's ill ship them to you if you want em.
BTW, what deck do you plan on running? Or you going to make the factory radio "Better" like you seem to know how to do to everything lol.
Yep yep... nothin like a hand me down! LOL I just redid the terminals since they were stripped out. If you wanna pass them Kappas my way i aint gonna say no. This will be the first time i DIDNT buy Infinity separates. Their 1" silk dome tweets are amazing!
Ill be making an amp rack/sub enclosure in the spare tire well... this is just for now so i can make use of the goods while i do work with the fiberglas.
Im gonna use my iPod or phone as my source. My under dash harness doesnt even have wiring for a radio... lol
Oh... can anyone suggest a good BOV? Or maybe point me in the right direction?
Greddy type s (have to serch for a used one, they dont make them anymore), hks ssqv 4 (I just ordered this one), Synapse synchronic bov, Tial bov, and Turbosmart v-port
Now you just have to choose :mbiggrin:
Any particular one better than the other for any certain reason? Or is a BOV a BOV?
Interesting...

I really like the LOOK of the Tial BOV. Its compact and could be mostly concealed on the bottom side of the charge pipe. I LOVE the sound of the HKS though.
This pic is close to what i wanna do... mostly hose for charge pipe. I refuse to use those shitty worm clamps and the hose will definitely be cut better.

I took this the day after i did the video at the bottom of post 1...
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/...6911732902.jpg
... bouncin the limiter in 6th. What time is it? lol
I cant wait to get home so I can see the picks in the threads and see some freakin videos!!! Ugh
As far as the BOV, I liked the Tial as well but when it came to choosing one for my set up it was either the Synchronic or HKS... I went with the HKS because it was slightly cheaper and I always wanted one haha
dont tell me you were the one that snap that picture!! shits cray
I would endorse both the tial and the hks, i had both on my supra and on my ep i had a turboxs rfl which was good also and stupid loud lol. If i had to pick one for sure tho it would be the tial
More interesting video...

The more im reading, i think i want a BOV that responds quick. It seems to me it would be easier to tune... and more consistent. I mean, i have a short gearbox, and will be building boost quickly between each gear (considering the turbo/mani i wanna use as well). If i had a long gearbox it seems it wouldnt be as crucial. I dunno... thoughts on that?
Ive read that the direction im going can lead to tire roasting midrange with some additional top end. I can already wrap the speedo round to 6 o clock... so i dont need to much more top end. I wanna improve part throttle, out of VTEC response... and i feel it will help with fuel efficiency as well. Again, working on the package as a whole so all the pieces work well together towards the common goal.
Nah i had a passenger for sure. Theres only one stretch of road good enough and its a newer stretch of interstate comin out of downtown Mobile. 3 lanes and sparse with traffic when we did the shot. I was only over 100mph for about 30 seconds total. When i slowed down to 80mph, some Accord that was sitting at the light with us at the bottom of the ramp flew by. Apparently he thought i was racing him? lol
"Dude... you just got pulled several city blocks... not car lengths... lol"
LOL put bus lengths on him !!!
Synchronic is suppose to be one of the fastest reacting bov on the market, I didnt get that because I wanted to be a little ricer and hear the chirp chirp lol
Oh believe me i wanna hear it too... LOL
One night i lined up with a Camaro in the right lane, i was in the middle, and a Mazdaspeed in the left lane. The guy in the Mazda was windows down talkin mad shit... i was concerned about the Camaro... could give a fuck less bout that pig ass Mazda. The Camaro and i left the Mazda at the light like he was pickin his nose. Two lights later the Mazda catches up and pulls up on my left again... this time his windows up and his system bumpin. AHhaaaaa!
dave i found another build you might like in terms of the IC setup you looking for.. this is in an EM2 chassis so its kinda close lol
http://www.k20a.org/forum/showthread...=94455&page=41
LOL When you comin home man? I thought they sent you home out of the sandbox already...
Andre... thanks man. Dude beat me to the punch dammit... lol EM2 is close... just more room between the front of the engine and the rad support. I gotta look into the water pump issue for the W2A IC. Yes... i read almost all of the thread lol
Got out the goods and started laying everything out for the audio setup. Im redoing the power wires at the fuse box so the internal fuse in the box that is used for starter protection will also protect the power wire to the amps. If the wire grounds out, the fuse blows and its OEM stealth without an added fuse block. Ill add more once the freekin rain stops...

Effing sick man. If I get on this deployment I'm just going to have you pick out everypart for a build when I get back haha
Yah i think the pix update on your thread got me. LOL Be safe man... you got a lot to come home to!
Dude they shippin you out? Where you headed off to? Man i have friends in Japan, Germany as well as the sandbox. Props to you guys for doing what i dont have the balls for.
You get back i have no problem helpin out in any way i can. Just lemme know.
Close call... : /

Heres a vid clip of when i was messing with building boost at a standstill, turboxs rfl too under 5psi

That dont sound bad at all Dre. I mean it doesnt even sound that loud.
I got a quote from the local "tuner shop" to assemble a custom mandrel bent 3" exhaust. Dude wants $625... for MILD STEEL. No one locally has a bender... so a generic kit will be ordered and there will be a lot of scrap left when hes done. Same situation with FMIC piping. This is frustrating...
The turbo, mani, and other larger parts of the setup should be in hand in the next month (sans an intercooler setup... unless something resolves itself between now and then). It looks like im gonna have to cut into my engine harness again for turbo clearance with the firewall. YAY. More fuckin wire work.
Anyone have a suggestion for injectors? i dont think my modded 270's are gonna cut it anymore. lol
Cha mang! I already have an RRC mani... but i still need the Hybrid Racing TB to go with it. I may not use the RRC, and just port match the PRC to the HR TB. You know im always doin shit in stages so theres no tellin... lol
I would look at ID's or DW's ... I have DW 1000's and there great no problems when the car was running. I would suggest 750's for your set up
